Since I have been a stranger to most stores in the last month, I am getting back on track. Having gone grocery shopping this week, my family now has food to eat. Yea!
By spending the time getting my coupons cut and matched up with the store sales, I was able to spend less than $100 to re-stock my kitchen and freezer. Though I still need to complete my menu plan and make an Aldi run, I have used my time wisely to get back on track.
After spending the day at the pool with my kids, I have another shopping list to make. My CVS Extra Bucks expire on Saturday, and I am not about to lose the savings I have worked hard to obtain. The Extra Bucks are store credit to help stretch my dollars. I will definitely be making a stop by CVS today.
The best time to shop at my CVS is after noon on Saturdays. My CVS activates the next week’s sales on Saturday morning which allows me to shop the current week’s sales and next week’s sales in one shopping trip.
Instead of making a trip today for this week’s sales and returning on Monday morning for next week’s sales, I can use my time wisely and shop both sale weeks at my CVS on Saturday afternoon.
I found this neat tip by asking the CVS supervisor when the new sales were activated at my store. By befriending and communicating with the store employees, I have learned a few extra tips and tricks to saving money, energy, and time.
My day is set with a free family activity at Home Depot and a shopping trip to CVS using my Extra Bucks. How are you planning to use your time wisely and stretch your hard-earned dollars?
