Well…I hadn't planned on cashing in on the free turkey for shopping deals too much this year. But we lived off our our stockpile of nearly free groceries for most of the summer. There was no time to shop, prices were high, coupons low. Then my sister arrived with the flu, and the amount of…
The first time I read a grocery store ad declaring “We Won’t Be Undersold on Turkeys – we will match any competitor’s price!” I thought WOW! I was new to deal hunting and finding major savings at grocery stores. But, I was serving 20 for Thanksgiving dinner, and I knew our family was expecting a…

Those pink colored packages are making their way back onto the store shelves as Breast Cancer Awareness month (October) approaches. This is a great opportunity to save money on grocery items and support a great cause – a true Win – Win situation! As one example, Proctor & Gamble is making a donation to the…
I opened the week’s grocery ads with hope. There were large red splotches announcing super deals at almost every store. I grabbed my pad of paper and pen, poured a large cup of coffee, and settled in at the kitchen table to see which stores offered the best sales and promotions. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately,…
Generally, I’m not a fan of buying bottled water. First, it’s usually expensive; it is, after all, just water. Second, bottled water isn’t necessarily purified, high quality, or better than tap water. There can also be issues with some types of plastic bottles that may not be recyclable or may leech chemicals from the plastic…
I ran into the store yesterday for what I thought would be a quick in-and-out on my drive home from the city. A 6-pack of Viva paper towels was on sale for “buy one get two free”, and even at the outrageous price of $9 for one, the “two free” made for a reasonable…
