Boy oh boy did we get a deal today!!!!!!!!!!

Actually a few of them.

Before we went to our normal Friday watering hole I wanted to go to the thrift shop that is run by the food bank - the winter coat I picked up for Jax is worth more than the $22 we spent. And both hubby and Jax got lots of stuff.

At the register we got into a conversation with the cashier about chicken (how and why I have no recall)....long story short, with our receipt and change she handed us a slip of paper that had the word chicken written on it and told us to go around the far side of the building and get some.

What we thought we probably be a few pounds of leg quarters turned out to be a crate of Perdue Oven stuffers - and one of the food Bank employees was trying to convince us to take the other crate.

We gave 6 of them to our 2 favorite bartenders, have 10 in the freezer and 1 for tomorrow's dinner. At beter than 3 and a half pounds each and generally $1.49 a pound - I'm sitting pretty!!!

Way to go, Gabz! I, too, am a bargain hunter...we live in an affluent neighborhood, and fortunately - money is not short...BUT...what gives me the greatest pleasure is finding deals! I can't even pay full price at the discount stores anymore!

Some of my best are at GAP For Kids - I've bought their outrageously priced clothes for 75% - 80% off...example, $60 down winter coats for $10. $40 backpacks for $3...what I can't give as gifts, I donate to charity. But, I'm a "stay-at-home-grandma", so I have the time to devote to this...and you have to buy "out of season" - thinking ahead, not to mention storage room. ha My next favorite place is Sam's...every Sam's has a "close out" corner...and everything with an "$.81" price is "below cost". I just bought an old fashioned child's desk - originally Sam's price at about $60 - for $18.81. Fantastic!

The thrill is in the hunt...
