FREE Deals of the Week

But not because there aren’t deals to be found!  I’ve been extraordinarily busy these past few weeks and have had to do some harsh prioritizing.  It was great to see that friends have been finding their own deals though. I got a bit misty eyed as I read about deal after deal that the ladies have been finding on their own! Great jobs gals!!

Expect to see me back up and running with more deals and steals later this week.  In the mean time, post your deal finds on your blogs and add yourself to the Mr. Linky widget. Or leave a comment and tell me about the deals you’ve found.

I’m not a big traveler because we can’t afford it right now. (But I do hope to change that in the future!) But when we do travel, I’m always on the alert for the best deals possible. I figure out the costs to travel using our car, then compared costs to rent a vehicle or fly. I always deal hunt for hotels or B&Bs. Of course, I always check to see if any meals are included and figure that into the savings analysis.

I’ve been toying with the idea of using a discount travel service. I found Journey Pass recently and have been looking into it. So far, I feel like it’s the cheapest service out there (a big plus for me) but still provides the services and discounts I am looking for.

So, I ask you dear readers… Would you use a discount travel service? Have you joined one? What do you think about it?

Sometimes I feel like a broken record because I harp on and on about shopping for manager specials.  Tonight simply reinforced that being willing to purchase soon-to-expire products can save you bundles!  Typically, I’ll purchase manager specials, repackage them and stick them in the deep freeze.

Here’s how I did tonight:

Pistachios - reg $7.99; MS $1.99
Salsa - reg $4.99; MS $.99
Broc sprouts (organic) - reg about $3 or $4; MS $.89
Horizon 1 gal fat free - reg about $5min; MS $2.99
Pediasure - reg $10.99 min; MS $6.99

I hit the motherload of manager specials tonight!

I passed up the Horizon milk because we wouldn’t have been able to use it quickly enough. But I did purchase two packages of Pediasure.

My family LOVES pistachios. I love to snack on them but they’re a luxury item.  I used to buy them as gifts for my dad because he loves them so much but can’t afford to anymore.  But tonight, I bought *gasp* 15 bags for $29.85.  If they were regular price, that would have been $119.85.  Yes, a savings of NINETY DOLLARS.

Next week, the kids will help decorate a big jar and Grandpa will get some pistachios for Father’s Day. The rest will go into the freezer for special treats for me!

So keep an eye out for manager specials at your grocery store. Get brave and ask an employee when they typically pull items for manager specials and pattern your shopping schedule to match. You’ll be amazed at how much you can save!
