It feels like ages since I last posted. Things have been busy. Bob & I quit smoking 5 weeks ago, talk about saving money. First order of business when we quit was to have the amount we were spending on cigarettes automatically transferred to a savings account. We did the same thing when we paid off our cars, kept on making the payment on to our savings. This is something both of our Parents had taught us from a young age. Here's how we see it, if you don't save you can't spend and boy do we love to spend.
Yesterday I started on decluttering and cleaning up the kitchen. The windows over the sink got a good scrubbing and the white eyelet curtains were not white anymore. They got to spend a few hours soaking in oxyclean and hot water and came out bright and clean.
I took my son to Kohl's and picked up some capri pants on sale for $16.00 plu an additional 15% off. I was looking for the sneakers that I bought last year; unfortunately they didn't have them.
After a search online I found them on sale at Sears.com. The sale price was $29.99 plus Sears.com has several coupon codes available, the one used was Womensshoes15. That gave me free shipping and an additonal 15% off. Plus I had some Shop your way reward points from Kmart that deducted another $6. So they ended up costing me $19 and change.
Also I hit RiteAid for the Sobe Lifewater sale. 5 for $5 plus $1 up rewards with a 6 per household limit on the ups. I did 5transactions and used a $1.50 coupon for every 5 bottles. I purchased 30 Sobe's for $17.77. That's $.56 a bottle compard to $.87 at Costco and $.70 at Giant Eagle. That extra $1 off really made it a great deal.
Check back in a few days and I'll have more to share.
