Well, here's one:

Yesterday, I decided to try and find the store where I purchased leather fleece lined clogs, three months ago. (I wasn't even sure I remembered at what store I bought them.)

I found the store, went in, to get a second pair of the shoes that I have REALLY enjoyed (for around the house wear), and they were THERE! On SALE for a 'buy one - get one free' deal! So, I got two more pairs! (for the price of one!)

Then, I saw some leather, fleece lined scuffs near my clogs - and decided to go ahead and pick a pair up - as I need some warm slippers...

I paid for the footwear, and on my way out the door, took a sale flyer.

When I got in the car, I started skimming through the flyer, and saw the SCUFFS were on sale, too - at 'buy one - get one free!'

So, I went back into the store, and they gave me the second pair free!

I showed them to my 'secret buddy', and HE wanted them, too - so today, I went back and got two more pair for the price of one! (And, I got the last two pair left in his size!) LOL!

THEN, I stocked up on batteries, that were on sale for half price. (Batteries are rising in cost rapidly - and I’m always needing a couple “C”s or “AAA”s)

From now on - I am only buying stuff that is on sale for half price. The prices are rising on everything - and I refuse to pay those inflated prices (if I can help it!)

I also found a market that has produce that is less than half the price at my local grocery store (Safeway), so I stocked up on fresh veggies and fruit.

The fast increase in food costs is mind boggling! Stock up while you can, folks! (Blanch, and freeze, if you can!)
