Since I live in a small town I don't have access to a lot of the great deals others have. We don't have a WAGS or CVS. But as of November 1 we will be moving and will be right down the road from Kroger, Winn Dixie, Piggly Wiggly, WAGS, CVS, Target, Walmart, and no less than five Dollar General stores. So I am starting over. I'm already collecting coupons and looking at the sneak peeks for the first week of November. I plan to get to know my new town by scoping out the stores in the area. I went...

I found a family pack with a tag of $7.73 and 2 coupon stickers on it for a total of $4 off. It's still good and it's fine because I'd planned to cook it today and tomorrow anyway!

I could just cry, though! He came home and...

I went to Fred's and a local store called Pic N Save. I used the sales flyers at both stores in order to get good...

We are very tight on grocery money this week so I am being very frugal on groceries. I cannot afford to waste the money. So the first stop today after church was the store to buy a paper and pick up sales flyers. The Piggly Wiggly flyer ended today, so I need to see when the new one begins / ends. We did get there this afternoon, though, and was able to take advantage of the flyer's savings. We also found out our local PW doubles coupons up to .50 and they have a gas club with a local gas station...
