What I've Been Reading Instead of Cleaning My House

Thursday Thopping

Here's the killer deal I got today:

Scott 4-pack toilet tissue
Regular price: $1.99
Store sale price: $1.00
Coupon: $1.00 off

My final cost: FREE!!! THAT'S RIGHT, FREE, BABY!!!

The best part about my shopping today was having the luxury of NOT buying anything. Since I have a full pantry, freezer and fridge at home, I can be more selective when it comes to finding bargains. "Yeah, that chicken is on sale and I have a coupon, but I think that I'll wait until I can find it for even cheaper." And if I don't find it cheaper or if the coupon expires, then I've saved even MORE money by not buying it at all. Win--win!

Huh....

Hey, wait. They owed you one cent. They should have paid YOU to take that t.p. home!

P.S. I'm not worthy!

B -- free TP is always a good thing.

Seriously, I am the queen of getting ripped off. That's why I'm so excited when I do finally get a good deal.

AMN2DEEP -- I'm trying!

GEO -- no, the store had it for $1.00, not $1.00 off. Otherwise I would've fought for my penny!

Get out. Where do you get these things? Move over Grocery Guru--we've got Lois.

CW -- yeah, that was my best score yet. Still haven't gotten all the kinks out of my shopping system, but it's been fun doing it (and I've been doing a great job on stocking up on food storage/household items).
