Last year, in the rosy glow of anticipated vegetables and flowers, I spent a good chunk of cash on organic soil, seeds, seedlings, rose bushes, annuals, perennials and herbs. My garden was large, and it was beautiful–tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, lettuce and much, more more. Things were growing, starting to sprout, and I was counting the [...]

New England Saving May 22-29

So, I thought there’d be tons of deals for Memorial Day Barbecues…apparently, not so much. In fact, it seemed like the logic went “people are buying food, so let’s raise the prices!” Really…not so good.
Best Deal: The $3.00/ 5 Kraft Items coupon, just for the variety offered. I know I could use a lot of [...]
When It’s Worth It For The Name Brand
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged My Pantry, Shopping Dilemmas on May 24, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Before I was really trying to be frugal I thought my husband and I weren’t name-brand people. Sure, we gravitated towards the same things, but I didn’t think there were many brands we were picky about. Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines? Pshaw, both please! But when I started looking at coupons and deals, I discovered, [...]

I was excited all day long to get my soon-to-be-free Lysol Toilet Cleaner with the 5$/20 Walgreens coupon…but alas, it was not to be. Not only was Walgreens totally out of the Lysol, they were also out of the Softsoap and the regular tin foil. Then, though we needed garbage bags, I didn’t think that [...]

Here we are! Deals are average, so if we hadn’t spent all our budget on deliciously grill-worthy red meat, I would have gone shopping. But, alas, looks like that won’t be an option, so!

Stop & Shop:

Back from Math

See, this is what I was afraid of. I had a math placement exam that I needed to study for, so everything went. Every-thing. Blogs, coupons, CVS, deals, dishes, meals and water. Only algebra study guides. I failed the first time, which led to a second week of drought. I passed then. Apparently I’d forgotten [...]
In which Kroger-shoppers say “whaaa??”

I’m pretty proud. Not ecstatic, not as if I’d had the.best. shopping trip ever, but pretty darn happy. The catch:
The cost? Now, if you’re from New England you’ll probably harumph and say “eh, now, not so bad there.” If you’re from anywhere else but the West Coast you’ll probably think me daft for posting anything [...]
