If you've known me long (or at least five minutes) you know how much I like a good deal. Free is even better! It's a rare occasion that I pay full price for anything--ANYTHING. I've been this way since junior high when I started babysitting, thus making my own money, thus paying for non-essentials that I needed. (My parents considered anything beyond school clothes and food non-essentials ;).) That's serious when a teen's favorite pastime is shopping with her friends at the mall! I learned to stretch my hard-earned dollars. In high school my friends benefitted from this as well. All they had to do was go to the drugstore with me to score their favorite color of hair dye, for free or very close!
Now that I'm a mom, money is sucked out of my account as fast as it can be put in...and my kids are still little! We're not even talking about sports fees, extra classes, school clothes or anything like that! That's where this post comes in. I've had several people ask me in the past few weeks how I make grocery shopping work, or where the deals are. I will admit that I don't shop around like I used to (getting three kiddos in and out of car seats will so that to a girl!) but I like to think that I still grab a few good deals!
Stay tuned and over the next few weeks (hopefully) I'll share some of my secrets with you. They aren't really secrets but maybe there will be something there you didn't already know. :)
