Save on Groceries Today!

I absolutely hate buying groceries.  It’s one of things I dread most right now in my life.  Maybe it’s because I always have to take a 4 year old with me who insists on pushing the cart, which ends up running into everything in her path.  Or maybe it’s because I hate fighting crowds and I usually don’t have time to go shopping until 4pm which is when everyone under the sun seems to do their grocery shopping.  Or maybe it’s because I really dislike spending money on things that will just go through my body and come out the other end.  Whatever the reason is, anything that can make the task easier, or save me money is a good thing.

Every once in a while I’ll go through my coupon envelopes and I found some that were about to expire.  They were for items I was ready to run out of.  I used them when I went to the store and saved $16, in addition to the $15 I saved from store ads. I was pretty proud of myself.

I printed up the list of ads combined with coupons for the store I was going to from the Grocery Game site my friend told me about and figured out which coupons I had that would help me get the best deals when combined with the ads. I couldn’t wait to go save some money. I took my shopping list clipped to my coupons and dove in.  Between sales and coupons, I saved a whopping $45.00.  It took a little longer than it usually does at the store, but that might have something to do with taking a toddler with me.  It may end up being worth the bit of time it takes to coordinate my coupons and list.

It happens every year. I get all excited about what I may be for Halloween, as early as Spring or Summer. I will get crazy ideas about what the whole family could be as well and the ideas remain just that: ideas.

I procrastinate all Summer because, let’s face it, Summer is fun. Then I get sucked into the vortex  of pre-Fall, with Back to School worries and new TV shows (yes, I watch a ton of shows) and things at work usually pick up with many fiscal years ending in Seotember, etc. The next thing I know, it’s time to go to the Halloween party and I have no costume. So if this happened to you, let’s promise each other we will be more prepared next year.

Memorial Day is a day to reflect on those who have fought and perished for the good of our country. We are indeed deeply in their debt.

Most people take the 3-day weekend to celebrate in one of the greatest pastimes in America: the outdoor barbeque!

Whether it’s hot dogs, hamburgers, ribs or steak, millions of Americans like to launch their summer on this day by having a huge barbeque with friends and family.

Retailers take the opportunity to sell a lot of gas and propane grills and the myriad of accessories the weeks before this holiday, so you can make sure you have evertying you need for your long weekend.
