The Savings Hunter

Ok, so Derek is obsessed with the show "Dog, The Bounty Hunter." Please do not ask me why because I do not have the answer to that question, but every Wednesday night after church, that's what we watch. Anyway, back to the reason of the post. I told Derek that I had to go to the store. I had been clipping coupons and glancing at the weekly ad all week and finally made my "savings grocery list." We all made a trip to Bi- Lo last night and I started piling up our buggy. I think Derek started getting nervous when I told him he would have to push because it was getting heavy. So off we go through every isle and I am loading it on. Derek kept saying, "Just cause it's on sale doesn't mean you have to get it, we don't eat that stuff." Well, yes we do I am just so cheap I never buy it unless it's on sale. So we get to the front to check out and the lady didn't ask for my Bonus Card. So she's ringing me up and hits total, $174.04. I looked at Derek with an "Oops, I'm sorry look." And she said, "Oh, I'm sorry, do you have your bonus card?" Bonus card scanned, total bill now $101.71 for a total savings of $72.33. GO ME! Derek was a lot happier about that and I could tell by his sigh of relief! I also went to CVS yesterday, just in case you are wondering CVS stands for "Chattanooga Imaging Vacationing Spot." It's where we break. I saved $21.86. Their make- up is buy one get one and I needed all of my make up so I stocked up! 2 mascaras, 2 eyeliners, 2 blushes, 2 powders, a bag of Funyuns, and a bag of cotton candy $22.03. So I was very excited and I don't have to buy make up for a while!
Savings can be done, if you just hunt for them.
Biggest savings of the day- Bi- Lo weekly ad 4 (12 pack) of Coke products for $9.88!
We have a big weekend planned, but don't think I am not going to take full advantage of the Old Navy sale tomorrow! $1 flip flops!

Did you get the flip flops from Old Navy? Brad and I went a little before noon, and all that we saw left were a few black ones (all in size 5. not my size...) and a few brown ones (which I already own...) I was bummed.
