I love those. For several years, we had a grocery store that sent out coupons for free items once per month. That was fun! Sadly they went out of business!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-73878965959431338932014-09-02T15:53:54.838-07:002014-09-02T15:53:54.838-07:00I'm always in awe of how well you do!

I'm sure it is in part because for so many years that was pretty much my only option. Plus if I am honest with myself I can admit I like to just have it done and not be obligated to go back out. I've improved though -- this month I'll hit Sam's Club, Aldi, Dollar Tree and Foodlion (just because they sent me coupons for a few free items...lol)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-3641504746448187772014-09-02T14:14:59.568-07:002014-09-02T14:14:59.568-07:00:) Glad to know someone else thinks like this, Cat...:) Glad to know someone else thinks like this, Cat!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-6073012053653026682014-09-02T13:23:22.189-07:002014-09-02T13:23:22.189-07:00I love that...I also like to make things a game. ...I love that...I also like to make things a game.

Thinking this way makes a small budget bearable in my mind, instead of feeling sorry for myself that I don't have as much to spend as I used to.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-51338163714317940422014-09-02T07:13:10.941-07:002014-09-02T07:13:10.941-07:00Thanks, Angie.

And it really isn't that much more time-consuming, sometimes even less time-consuming, as in this past month.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-23207753344264353772014-09-02T05:53:05.315-07:002014-09-02T05:53:05.315-07:00You're doing so well!

You can price match at Walmart, but I like supporting locally owned businesses. Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.com
