The first couple of times I was nice. Then I was kind of joking, the last time, I reamed him. Use some common sense. He's done it on cheese, tortillas and neither of those things are cheap.


oh, my last rely, about my husband, was for melsb,....im still learning how this site works lol

Perhaps I will keep this in mind for next time.

I did this today and I definitely saved! I was buying chips (who needs chips?) and I realized I didn't actually need to buy 2 to get the 2/$4 price.  The marketing just sucked me in.  So I put one back, and looked over my cart again.  Yay!

I like to get the sales ad and match all my coupons to get the best deal and then plan my families meals around this. I also stock up on  deals I can freeze if they are really cheap (hotdogs .49c) Also I try to stick to the list and not go by any of my trigger aisles. (salty/ sweet snack or soda items)
