I had to go into the "big city" on Wednesday. I really needed a certain color of yarn but that Walmart ended up being out and my normal one doesn't carry it. Hoping to get it at the Walmart near church on Sunday. I also needed to use a rain check and some coupons at Shaw's before they expired.Here is the breakdown of my trip. And I actually remembered a picture this time! 4 boxes of ice cream Drumsticks---$1.77 each with rain check, two $0.75/2 coupons that doubled...Total $1.02 each2 … [Read more...]
Out to Eat for 44 Cents
We have something called Deal Chicken. It is like Groupon but it seems to have better and more local things for me. The local news channel often runs specials called Half-Price Thursday and they use Deal Chicken.Back in February there was a special. Spend $12 to get $24 at a semi-local pizza place. Good for 6 months.We needed dinner Saturday night on the way home from visiting family. This pizza place happens to be on the way home. It is on the way to the "big city" where I go to Shaw's but we … [Read more...]

Shopping Trip…4.25.13
I'm a little disappointed in my shopping trip last week. Not in myself, just in general. The flyer said "select varieties" on sale for Cheerios. Usually that involves the original. It didn't this time. It was all the fancy stuff like frosted and chocolate. Basically, nothing for the baby. So I was not able to do a big and cheap stock up on those like I had hoped.I was able to get more cheap cranberry juice. We should be all set for a number of months now. I hope. Maybe. All of the above:6 … [Read more...]
Walmart Deal: Plastic Easter Eggs
Monday is my standard grocery shopping day. This usually means we (Abby and I) go to Walmart and Hannaford. Near the front door and in the first wide aisle, Walmart had their Easter stuff on clearance. I saw plastic Easter eggs marked down from $1.97 to $0.97 for 42 eggs. Not a bad deal so decided to pick them up for next year. Plus, I keep seeing games to play with toddlers using these eggs. I got to the register and the eggs actually rang up at $0.30! That's about $0.007 per egg. … [Read more...]
