Did you have a great shopping week this week?  I’d love to live vicariously through you.  I traveled for half the week to New York leaving the family behind to fend for themselves.  That really meant that no one shopped for anything and they ate breakfast for dinner, a favorite around here with so many […]

We all have weeks that have little time for cutting coupons, and this was one of those weeks for me.  Only July 4th we had a number of folks out for dinner and fireworks (legal here in SC).  Time got very away from me thanks to a new neice, and a messy house so super […]

I had plans of getting out for a big shopping trip this week, my guess is I will finally get there tonight or tomorrow morning.  I did run out for two quick trips though. As I “walked” Publix this week for extra deals I grabbed kraft cheese that was on sale buy one get one. […]

This was a week to be thankful for a stockpile and a rainy day fund.  I ran out for milk and some fresh fruit but didn’t spend much at all in the grocery store.  I was saving up for some meat I thought we would grab at the US Foods Chef Store next week, but […]

You may have noticed, but I’m a bit passionate about saving money.  I hear all the excuses as to why people don’t coupon or even shop sales, but honestly there is no good reason.  I’m probably preaching to the choir… This week I made three stops for deals, one of which was a rare trip to […]

I shared earlier this week on a Facebook live that we were out and about grocery shopping at two stores.  It was fun to feel like I had folks tagging along. We went to Publix and bi-Lo as usual to look for unadvertised deals and I decided to grab items in both stores.  The biggest […]

My goal for this week was to stay out of the store and only need basics at the beginning of the week.  Every year we spend time at the beach with my husbands parents and sisters.  A big family vacation has it’s perks in sharing cooking and meals but also means that we need snacks […]

My plan this week was just the necessities.  I stuck to the plan and only grabbed milk and bread and then went to CVS for a great Sunscreen deal on our favorite brand.  Being a family of 7 we use a lot of sunscreen at the beach (which is next week) but we use even […]

  Normally each Wednesday I head to Publix & Bi-Lo to look for unadvertised sales.  This week I needed to add in a third store since someone who normally helps was away.  So we went to three stores for extra sales and added in a very rare trip to Kroger.  It’s only a mile from […]
