Proverbs 31:18
She senses that her gain is good; her lamp does not go out at night.
Most of this blog comes from everyday life. I don't really sit down and plan weeks ahead what will be on here but rather write from typical day-to-day events we experience.
Do you have a Walgreens near you? If so, don't throw away the insert that comes in Sunday's newspaper with their sales and coupons. Some of their food items and toiletries are priced much lower than you can find them at the grocery store, especially if you use the store coupon, register rewards and/or manufacturer's coupons. I belong to The Grocery Game which shows you exactly how low (from a historical standpoint) the prices are, but if you shop for the same things often, you should be able to recognize a good bargain when you see it.
This is another store that is very convenient to our home. I have gotten in the habit of always making a list and sticking to the list items only. It's usually between 3-10 items that we normally use. I picked up a few things there yesterday:
- 4 cans of Mandarin Oranges, reg. $1.29; Walgreens coupon 2/$1.00; saved $3.16
- 1 Sally Hansen Nail Polish, reg. $4.99; sale $2.99; manuf. coupon $1.00; saved $3.00
- 1 large Skippy Peanut Butter, reg. $3.79; sale $1.79; manuf.coupon 60 cents; saved $2.60
- 2 large Quaker Oats, reg. $3.19 each; Walgreens coupon 2/1; saved $3.19
TOTAL VALUE $20.32; PAID $8.37; SAVED $11.95
