I have this friend who is a whiz at deal-shopping. You know, one of those super coupon clippers/deal finders who never pays more than $10 for a months’ worth of groceries.
Well, okay, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but she does find amazing deals and ways to save money on basic necessities.
While I don’t have the desire to spend hours poring over circulars, coordinating my grocery lists to coupons and doing my meal-planning based on what’s on sale…I do admit wishing I could be a little better at finding deals and saving money.
Which is what brings me to this post. Torrey, this one’s for you.
I had to go to CVS to drop off a prescription. I needed to pick it up the same day, so I ended up waiting in the store for it to be filled. While I was there, I decided to browse the clearance area just to see what was there. Much to my surprise and delight, I found some great deals!
Children’s Generic Triaminc Cough Syrup – $0.75
and it doesn’t expire until 2011!
4-pack of glittery Christmas ribbon – $0.25
Disney princess stickers (2-sheets) – $0.19
and since we’ve met our deductible for the year, our prescription was free!
Total spent: $2.87
Knowing I’d scored a terrific deal: Priceless.
