Getting My Shop On

Because yesterday was super-cala-fragilistically busy, I didn't make it out for my usual Sunday grocery shopping errands. So, I went today. Per usual, I combined coupons, sales and a shopping excursion at the 99 Cent store to get amazing savings. You already know.

Yes, I am a professional shopper. Thank you. Thank you. No need for applause. You're too kind.

All jokes aside, I have literally HALVED our grocery bills since I began my freelance career. It's amazing what you can do when you have to.

I love my life today, and I hope all is well and beautiful in yours.

    What is your secret--do you take notes from the Sunday inserts?

  7. You are an awesome shopper! I wish we have stores like that here in our area. I am also working on chopping off a portion of our grocery budget. I hope I'll be successful. Just dropping by. :)
