A couple of money saving (or not so saving) things for the week:
Monday, Sept. 3, 2012 is Labor Day in the US, and a popular day for thrift stores to have 50% off sales on clothing.
All US Value Village stores are advertising 50% off clothing, shoes, accessories, bed and bath (this excludes jewelry, new merchandise, books and housewares/furniture). Open 9 AM to 9 PM.
Many Goodwill stores, Salvation Army stores, and St. Vincent de Paul Thrift stores across the US are also advertising 50% off sales on clothing on Monday, Sept. 3, 2012. Do a google search for the thrift shops in your area to see if they are participating in these Labor Day sales.
In less pleasant news, I was at my local Safeway store getting gas the other day and was told that the 3 cent per gallon discount for Club Card members is gone. No more gas discounts at Safeway, here. Which leads me to two questions. Where are you finding the best prices on gas in your area? And how are you hearing about those prices?
If you're in the greater Seattle metropolitan area, you can check gas prices at Seattle gas prices *dot* com. And just for your information, the national average on a gallon of regular is $3.80, and on Friday, crude oil was trading at about $96 a barrel.
