Living better, spending less.
I have been more less without internet for days, so I’m behind on everything. This is just a quick follow-up to the post last week about K-Mart’s toy deal. I stopped in on Saturday morning–actually, I meant to go to Walgreens but they were out of stock on what I was going for so I walked over to K-Mart while waiting for the husband to come back and pick me up since he was getting gas–and picked up the following, which made me cackle gleefully all the way to the car.
Total cost: $0.17.
I used the three $5 Pictureka coupons, the $5/$20 toy coupon, and I had a free product coupon for the Cascade. (The Cascade coupon comes from the Home Made Simple coupon book–request yours today. It resets periodically, so request it again even if you’ve done it before.) The Play-Doh was $2.19, which was a nearly perfect amount to use as a filler.
My cashier was disturbed, but she didn’t complain, at least.
Seventeen cents is a fun amount. It won’t even buy you gum anymore, and yet, it bought all of that stuff. I have enough coupons to do this one more time so I think I’ll stop in again tomorrow to try it again.
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
