Wow! So much savings! I don't cut coupons because I never want to buy those things anyway. But I look look at the little flyer they give out as I drink a cup of coffee and decide which of those in-store sales look good. Usually there is one fruit or vegetable that is 10 or 20 for $10.00. This week the organic frozen vegetables were on sale so I purchased a little more for the future since they keep.
I stay on the outside of the store, only purchasing produce, dairy, sometimes chicken and then leave. I stay away from the middle aisles -- there's where all the tempting stuff is, but everything is something I don't need (cleaning supplies and bird food are my exceptions). Lucky for me the sushi is on the outside -- I never miss buying a little. Thanks for your lovely note ((((((Merc)))))). Good to see you here again.
