Saturday Savings on OOoops.....Monday

One way we've been really saving money lately is to buy our groceries at The Deli Warehouse. 

 

Earl and I buy meat in bulk there and then freeze it. 

 

We usually get Italian saugase, ham, meatballs, hamburger, pork tenderlion and bologne. 

 

We also buy cheeses, some produce and canned tomotoes and olives there.

 

I also started buying my olive oil in a large container....I LOVE to cook with olive oil!

 

Last Saturday when we were shopping they had 50 lb. bags of potatoes that had been ripped open, so they were missing a few potatoes, but we got them for $2.99 a bag.

 

For $2.99 we could afford to be short a few potatoes!

Earl bought 3 bags of potatoes and we put 2 bags of them in the attic where it's cool and dark so they'll keep for quiet awhile. 

Guess what we're going to be eating lots of.....

baked potato soup, fried potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes, potato salad and so on ........

 

 

 

So my Saturday Savings tip is if you like to buy in bulk The Deli Warehouse is a great place to go!

I Found A Little Piece of Heaven

Last night I actually went out! My daughter Lexie and her friend Amber took me to A.C. Moore to get some crafty stuff for my daughter-in-laws baby shower. A.C. Moore did not have much at all and the prices were high. Amber said she remembered they just opened a new Michaels in the shopping center across the street.........so off we went. We got there 15 minutes before they closed and what a tease that was! This new Michaels was gorgeous!!! It is the nicest Michael's I have ever seen! It was clean, very well stocked and they already had things on clearance!! I only got to see a portion of the paper section, but I can't wait to go back!! I could spend literally hours in there just looking around.

I had so much fun last night! We went to A.C. Moore, Michaels, Wal-Mart and then back to my house for a few minutes. It was so nice to get out of the house without any kids and just have fun with some girls!! Thanks Lexie and Amber!!!

Now I'm off to get my first haircut in almost a year! Woo-Hoo!!!

Let's Talk Shop!

I thought today we could do some more "small talk".

Let's Talk About Shopping!

1. Where is your favorite place to shop? I like to shop at Wal-Mart for most things because they have a little bit of everything.
   
   
2. Would you rather shop on-line or in the stores? I like to do both.


3. If you needed new undergarments, but you saw something that you didn’t really need, but just wanted, which would you buy? Definitely, the thing I didn't need and just wanted!!



4. What really annoys you about other shoppers? When they cut in front of you and don't say excuse me!


5. Have you ever got up to the checkout stand and had a ton of stuff in your cart and after they rang everything up you realized you didn’t have your money, check book, debit card, or credit cards? Yes, why Yes I have! A few times actually! It is so embarrassing!
   
6. If you buy something that isn’t necessary or something just for fun do you feel like you have to justify it to yourself or your partner? 100% Yes. I always feel guilty and have to justify what I spend!



7. Do you hide those unnecessary things for awhile and then later claim you’ve had them for a long time? I'm guilty! I do this with craft stuff especially!

Let me know if you answer the questions and I'll make up a list of everyone that did so it will be faster to go to the blogs that participated.


Thanks and Have a funfilled day!!

Here are a couple of pictures to look at.
