Money Saving Monday!

i promised earlier today, to all my facebook friends, i would blog about my CVS purchases that i got for a whopping .38 cents. so, this is what i got, and how i did it! a 12 pack of coca-cola classic, two big boxes of kelloggs frosted flakes, a box of huggies baby wipes and a 12 pack of scott's toilet tissue. using my CVS card to get the sale prices, manufacturer's coupons for the baby wipes and cereal, combined with extra bucks i had obtained from other CVS purchases is how i walked out of the store with a $29.38 savings. the cashier even commented on my accomplishment, stating, "I wished I knew how to shop like that." even though i was super proud of myself for basically walking out of the store with all this free stuff, the best part of the whole experience was seeing the look on the hubby's face when i showed him what all i got for .38 cents.

And though we may not admit it, we all secretly get a little rage of jealousy when we read on Facebook about someone's trip home and they have 'checked in' at Taco John's. Or what about when somebody is on a road trip and they post that they have stumbled upon a Taco John's and they are now enjoying something out of that brown paper bag and then us folks that live in Taco...
