mastering the art of saving
one day at a time
If you're like me, shopping at Wal-mart is the easiest thing. They have virtually everything I need all packed in one store.
During the week I write a list of what I need grocery & bathroom wise and bring it with me to Wal-mart.
This Week On My List:
$. Bananas
$. Trash Can
$. Old Spice Deodorant
$. Dog Food
What I Ended Up Buying
$. Coffee Creamer - Hazelnut
$. Coffee Creamer - French Vanilla
$. Old Spice 3 Value Pack
$. Doritos
$. Bananas
$. Chocolate Chip Breakfast Muffins
$. Banana Hanger
$. Dog Food
$. Trash Can
$. Trash Bags
$. Lindt Chocolate Truffles
My list had 4 items, my receipt had 11.
Total Grocery Bill: $52.42
Original Grocery List: $22.43
What I Would Have Saved: $29.99
I could have saved almost $30.00 if I would have stuck to my list!
