Bargain Shopping 101

So anyone who knows me pretty much is aware of my killer Bargain Shopping radar I have! I NEVER pay full price and I always am on the hunt. This mentality covers basically every aspect of life! I have picked up some amazing things at incredible prices based on this keen 6th sence I have!

Today I put my shopping to the test once again after being tipped off by a friend that Albertsons was to be my next target! They were having their 10 for $15 sale on cereals, oatmeals, bars and endless other items. The added bonus was when you buy 10 the price gets dropped to 10 for $10!

So there I was binding my way through the aisles.Post cereal was also marked to 5 for $7 with a free gallon of milk then upon check out they presented my with a $2 off coupon for my next Post purchase. So back I went for 5 more boxes and another free milk!

All in a good days work! Here's what I loaded up for $55...



There are a ton of great tips for shopping smart. I always get ask how I do it or what's my secret. First of all, I always share my finds like this because half the battle is knowing when and where to shop.

Also when deals like this come along I stock up. I didn't buy one thing we don't use and love! I feel into the habit of buying things, especially food, that I had a coupon for even if we never ate it before... chances were we never did eat it!!!!FREE is another story... I may on occasion get something if it's free...hence Walgreens trips!!!

Anyway... It helps to just keep your eyes and ears open to leads from others. Watch ads and make sure you have the space for the things you do buy!

I tend to buy more food when it's a deal more so then cloths, house hold stuff and other things that take up long term space. Food you consume, other items sit and take up room and stare at you with that tag still attached taunting you saying " ha ha!!! I don't even fit and now look at your closet!!!!!"

Know what you love and shop it out! Don't be afraid to take things back. Buyers remorse is a feeling we get for a reason... it's like a grace period for us to change our minds and give ourselves a reality check. Leave all the tags on and save all your receipts!Check return policy's and if you find that your item is damage complain or take it back. If it's something you can live with ask for a discount.

I'd love to hear some of your favorite shopping tips and deals you have gotten. I can't think of my best deal ever to share..I have a lot of good deal stories!!! Share some of yours!!!!!
