Our market recently had a can can sale so I have 6 cases of canned tomato's, veggies, potato's, and gravies stocked against the garage wall. <br /><br />This week our market had ground meet on sale for 1.99lb(which is cheap right now) and I had 4 coupons for 2.00 off a pack of meat so I bought 4 large packages. <br /><br />Its the only way to get through now a days.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-31229462001471224752012-01-29T18:56:42.119-05:002012-01-29T18:56:42.119-05:00I think you are a better shopper than I am...but I...I think you are a better shopper than I am...but I'm learning!EG CameraGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12803759124643467711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-30556439304672134472012-01-29T13:16:38.485-05:002012-01-29T13:16:38.485-05:00I couldn't have started to live on £100 a mont...I couldn't have started to live on £100 a month for the 3 of us if I didn't keep well stocked up with things- many bought when they were on offer.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-77326689919528165762012-01-29T07:55:24.796-05:002012-01-29T07:55:24.796-05:00We like stock piling.

However it took 6 months to get to the stock-up postion fincially within a budget. We also have a larger family and live in the boonies, where having these supplies on hand is a must as we never know what weather will keep us at home. I am like you and love the shoppers drug mart specials only, with coupons as added bonuses. I have two questions for you. 1) I have done Swagbucks for over a year now and only have 800 points because all I do in the survey of the day. I find the tasks too time consuming when I time myself to only an hour on the computer a day. Too many other things to do! What else can I do without facebook? 2) where do you get coupons? I only get them in the paper once a month, we use to get them weekly.simplicityinthemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492407981286638459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-2723531646216308682012-01-28T07:38:13.771-05:002012-01-28T07:38:13.771-05:00I so agree Gill, by shopping in bulk on sale and w...I so agree Gill, by shopping in bulk on sale and with coupons we have been saving a ton of $$. In the process I also pick up things to donate to our soup kitchen for free or close to free. It's great to have a stash to pull from, less trips to the grocery store = more $$ in the bank.
