My Frugal Purchases


Here are my special purchases from today. The sugar was $.99, the pudding $.19, the egg noodles $.39, the chow mein noodles $.59, the cheese $1.00 (I bought around 14 of these as it's $2.00 a pound compared to the normal around $5.00 per pound,) the pizzas were 6/$10.00 which is a good buy up here and a quick, easy, and well-liked meal, and the peanut butter was my prize purchase. I got 24 of them as it was only $.99; it's the brand my kids like the best though I don't normally cater to their tastes unless the prices are similar. I will pay about 10 cents more for it. I'm not sure why I put the chocolate milk in the picture. It wasn't really a "frugal" purchase, but it was cheaper than the price of white milk (and tasted good!)

You are such a good shopper! I don't have time anymore for some of that. I remember coming home though all excited because my bill would have been one thing and was a whole lot less. I think another way to save money would be to visit friends and stay at their house! Hint, hint!!!

You could even do some grocery shopping while here! We have a store, Aldes, that has things very inexpensively. You can buy a box of not name brand peanut butter Captain Crunch (that actually tastes like the name brand) for $1.69.

Ha! The gas money getting down there would eat me alive. :) I don't "do" sugar cereal anymore. That was a Christmas present though--I bought five boxes of sugar cereal and stuck them under the tree because it ended up being $1.00/box. These were just my "frugal" buys--don't forget to look at the grocery spending tab where I actually spent over $100.00. :)

Great buys!! It is lots of fun when you find good sales like that. This week we don't have to many down here.
