My Great Deals Today!

You are all probably wondering why I haven't posted much lately. Life has been a little hectic around here. Each of us has to be sure to do what is best for ourselves and our families which sometimes means less time for money savings.

Saving Tips:

My mom and I were frustrated with Walgreens RR deals. We decided to only get RR items if we could turn around and use the RR same day. We set up our RR items in the first transaction and turned around and paid with them in the second. This way we won't lose them to expiration.

Buy larger kids clothes than your kid wears if you can get them for cheap and store them for later. $1 for pants and tops is unbelieveably reasonable and worth buying ahead of time!
