Well that time of the year is here and that means using up some of the hot coupons that are going to expire at the end of the year. I made an impromptu run to Albertsons this afternoon with my husband to use up some wine-tags that needed to get used and got some goodies with those. While not the best savings in the world I was pretty happy with it. I budgeted $200 for my end of the year shopping and only spent $85 so far.

I ♥ Clearance!

First my DH who works for Coke spotted a cart of clearance spices and goodies at Smiths while he was delivering there and called me on the phone and told me that I should run over there if I had a chance, so since the kids were at school I grabbed my purse and headed over to Smiths.
