I want to share what I learned today.
A littl...Hi. I want to share what I learned today. <br />A little background - one of the national grocery stores will price match. They also have a day once a month where they give an additional 10% off. So today was their 10% off day and it's when I really try to price match as well. <br /><br />Here's what I learned - if they have an item on sale, they apply their 'card saver' amount even when it's been price matched!!<br />In the past, I either didn't notice or didn't price match something already on sale. <br />So, for example, the vitamins I buy were already on sale at the grocery store for 15% off. But I had found a lower price at WalMart. So I did the price match. But then noticed on my receipt, a card saver 'savings' of 15% also had been applied. And on top of all that, I got the 10% off. So my vitamins were 60%off retail. Score. <br />Anyway, I could hardly wait to tell you.

The procedure itself was covered but the "medical supplies" and anaesthetist fees were not. :( Looks like we have to buckle down yet again to pay off more medical bills...this is getting old.

Also found boxes of flower seeds for $1.00 (the boxes had $2.99 in the top corner). Also went into JC Penneys-- had 2 $10/10 coupons for myself and my sister sent me her 2 to pick up for her. She got the best deal. 2 men's Foundry flannel shirts for only $1.49 each (regular price $38.00)--- dirt cheap. That may be my best deal of the year--I'm taking credit since I did the purchase.Delorisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2283658887503348180.post-32042255072923187062017-02-05T13:33:03.372-08:002017-02-05T13:33:03.372-08:00Now you have me craving ice cream!

Hubby and I went to dinner with his aunt tonight-- she was just going to leave 1/2 of a catfish fillet and 2 hush puppies to be trashed. Yep it came home with me in carryout container-- I can not bear food waste--if by some chance we don't eat--our dog will gobble up. Thought our medical budget was going to have to be reevaluated--when I picked up 2 new prescriptions for hubby thought the cost was for 30 day supply. I guess the pharmacy tech saw my mouth fall open, as she quickly said - " that's for 90 days supply." Oh what sweet words to my ears. Hubby has dental appointment on Monday- fingers crossed for a good checkup.
