Pinching Your Pennies

So anyone who knows me knows I'm really cheap. Well my friend Veronica introduced me to a website called pinchingyourpennies.com and it has taught me how to be even cheaper and score some awesome deals. Tonight I went shopping at king Soopers and got lots of free stuff. I didn' t have coupons for all the stuff I got so I had to pay for some of it but all in all I got 30 items for $18.00 dollars. If I didn't buy 4 boxes of morning star products and a thing of cheese I would have made out with only spending $8.50. Anyway I wanted to pay tribute to all the deals I have scored with the tips on pinchingyourpennies.com and would suggested anyone who likes a deal to go to the site and see what deals are going on in your state.


This deal I would actually have to give Andrew full credit for. Cereal was on sale for a $1.00 a box. Andrew went online and found coupons for a $1.00 off a box. That's right most all these boxes of cereal were free!!! We also scored with nature valley granola bars for .60 cents a box. On the last day of the sale I told Andrew I was heading in one more time and he actually got mad at me and told me that we did not need anymore cereal even if it's free. Yes we will eat all this.



ok I know I'm nuts showing you pictures of my pantry but I just get so excited about these deals and want everyone who cares to have the same opportunity. I have learned that people don't get nearly as excited to get free cheese nips, triscuits, and ritz. Alright I did pay .20 cents for each box of triscuits and riz but half those cookies mixes where free and the other were .20 as well. I know what you thinking who eats all that crap. Well we do for .20 cents or less plus they are great to have on hand when we get the treat bucket for nursery or you need to bring a quick treat to someone.


Last but not least my .20 cents score on beans and rice and pasta roni. My sisters make fun of me for eating so many beans but heck they are so good for you and at .20 cents a pop bring on the bean casseroles and bean burritos. Who says it has to be expensive to start up your food storage.

Yeah for blogging...and good deals. I have heard of this site before, but when I went there it didn't have great deals in my area. So it looks like I need to revisit. The only problem is I find sales like these and either I like the food, but can't stock up because we don't have a lot of room (I am really looking forward to having a pantry one day and a ginormous freezer to stock up on all the frozen food we eat) or the sales are on food we don't eat. Unlike you, even though its cheap, I still won't eat it if I don't like it or if it's not coated 20x in sugar in Ross's case ;) You are my bargaining idol - I wish you lived closer!

Megan this site was originated in Utah. I went to Utah's site and it's crazy with deals but you have to wait for an awesome sale then save all your coupons (you got to get the Sunday paper I've discovered it's a must) and then bam you get tons of stuff for free. Let me know if you want to know more I would love to explain it all.

Remember that star fish story they always tell in church (how could anyone forget...it's used in at least 20 talks/lessons each year). Well, you are the man on the beach, and I am that star fish. Maybe people think you are nutty for posting pictures of your cereal boxes, but now that you have I too am going to check out that website. "It made a difference to that one".
