We usually do our grocery shopping on Thursdays. Before we retired, we went shopping on Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. We changed to Thursday because there is less traffic in the store unless they have one of their weird 6-hour sales or something.
We decided that today we would combine the weekend shopping and pick up the things we’re going to need for our Thanksgiving dinner. As usual, the store wasn’t too crowded today. We shopped for the weekend faire, got some household supplies. got a few pantry items and also got everything we needed for our holiday celebration.
We redeemed a bunch of coupons and walked out of the store having saved over seventy dollars on the total. We’re looking forward to our weekend cooking and the Thanksgiving Holiday with eager anticipation.
Yeah, coupons are always good! My son works for Ralph’s, and we have a special employee discount card, which gets us another 10~15% (depending on item) knocked off. Plus he gets a cash reward from Ralph’s every quarter. Really helps him with his college expenses, and we save some $$, too!
We’re seeing the prices of goods going up. Inflation?
I’ve noticed 3 large price increases in the last 2 years. Makes it tough for older peeps on a fixed income. There is another big one coming my guess. It’s this ugly admin and all the panic. At least ammo’s been some what leveled off.
What’s worse is that COLA, the cost of living adjustment for Social Security has been denied for the second year since this incompetent president was elected. Read that as screw you old people from the Obama Administration. 🙁
Incompetent?
You’re far too kind!
I would have called the prez what I usually call him, but my Mom reads this blog. 😉
