Albertson's.

I went to Albertson's today and bought...this.
Guess what I paid for it?
Okay, I'll tell you, $19.90.
Do you wanna know what I saved? $99.68 That's an 83% savings.
Betsie, I've learned the tricks.
I will have to admit, it was kinda fun to see the numbers drop and I think it's a little addicting.
Some of the stuff is not what I would usually buy, but I couldn't beat the price and it's great for storage.
Brinley was excited because I bought 5 boxes of fruit snacks, (They weren't the kind I usually buy), and toaster strudels (we never buy).

good deal.

Like I've said in a previous post, I don't like to shop all that much. If I need something, I buy it and then I'm done. However, there is nothing like a good deal.
This morning I went walking at the mall and was reminded that I had a coupon for JCPenny's for 15% off. I am in need of some clothing, so I stopped in to check the clearance rack.
JACKPOT!
I bought 5 pairs of pants and 5 shirts for a grang total of $27.39 How is that for a bargain.
JCPenny's clearance racks are all $2.97, and with my coupon, I paid $2.52 for each of my items. Most of the pants were originally $44.
If I had paid full price for everything (like I would do that) it would have been over $350.00
So hurry over there before the selection is gone.

coupons.

I am one to use coupons here and there.
I like a good deal.
My niece, Betsie, is a coupon nut. She gets things for next to nothing, and sometimes less than nothing. I've been wanting to learn this extreme coupon shopping, but have been a little overwhelmed. I have a friend that we go to church with that took me shopping with her today.
Betsie, you would be proud. I spent $16.79 and saved $31.75. i didn't think that was too bad for my first shopping trip. However, starting on the 31st, our Albertson's won't be taking competitor coupons, which means that I will have to drive a little farther for a good deal. The best deal I got, 4 bags of lays/doritos for .83 cents a bag. not too bad.
