We pretty much just have HEB and Walmart and that means not enough competition to drive down the prices. Double coupons!!

I've been shopping like this for year...Way to go!! I've been shopping like this for years and it does make you feel good! By taking time to do this, cooking your own meals at home, saving money on extra work clothes, and not paying for child care you can save as much as you would make if you had a job outside the home. <br /><br />I love stores like Safeway that put your savings right on your receipt so you can see in black and white how much you saved. And go back in for $5??? You bet. If they overcharge me .50 I let them know. I may not make a special trip back in for that amount but next time I go in I take it with me. There are two stores here that will double your money if they overcharge and that's the way it should be. He should have been very apologetic.<br /><br /> But the deals in our area have been fewer and fewer. No one doubles much less triples coupons anymore. Sad. <br /><br />We don't have Costco :( and Sam's is almost always a rip. There are a few things there that are a deal but mostly not. I've talked to the store manager and he says most people don't realize they are not getting a deal so they aren't changing their prices. For that reason alone I do NOT like shopping there. I only get what is really a deal or I can't get elsewhere.<br /><br />I've always bought a lot when something is on sale. I remember YOU making remarks about my pantry when you were here but I buy extra when it's on sale. I know your pantry isn't very big but you have closets in the basement that will serve I'm sure. And that way no one sees how much you have stashed away!!<br /><br />Way to go and Happy bargain hunting!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17667328632288829714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7813501143902377307.post-77327277575456692832009-05-29T06:46:13.734-06:002009-05-29T06:46:13.734-06:00Thank you for the shout out!

And $5 is $5 - good for you for going back in.<br /><br />I sometimes use the 40% off coupons to buy the three packs of simple canvas bags. I use them to wrap craft supply birthday gifts for kids. I usually throw in a couple of fabric paints, so the kids can decorate the bags, too.<br /><br />What a great post to wake up to - you made my day!Wendy Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110655950633558010noreply@blogger.com
