Lasagna and Unmentionables: 8/21/10

Below, what I brought home today for $10.80 out of pocket:

The monthly Unmentionable from Victoria’s Secret, shrouded in pink tissue paper to protect the innocent.

A great big pile of library books on sewing, because I love the library and I think it’s completely wonderful that this free resource exists. Our library has free wi-fi and [...]

You Know How to Shop: 8/14/10

“You saved $64.50,” the checkout guy said solemnly as he handed me my receipt. “This is why I say, you know how to shop.”

This was my final Super Doubles trip this week.

Shopping Trip: Harris Teeter Super Doubles, 8/11/10

I know I say this every time, but I love Harris Teeter.

Sometimes their receipts or emails ask you to take a survey, and I’m always all over that. Ten! Ten! I give everything a ten! Why yes, I do have some comments, and those comments are that your store rules!

Anyway, Super Doubles is back, and [...]

Shopping Trip: Harris Teeter, 8/8/10

I have to say that I thought $1.43 was cheap for hair dye. And it is, but 89 cents is even cheaper.

Shopping Trip: Harris Teeter, 7/10/10

I’m trying to teach myself to sew. Here is a picture of the cat helping me.

I have an old Singer my mother-in-law gave me and a great desire to wear wrap dresses the likes of which I cannot seem to find for purchase. Plus, I’m really tall, and I love the idea of custom-fit clothes. [...]

No Comment: 6/26/10

The cashier at HT today did not have a compliment for my mad coupon skillz. I was a bit saddened by this, but resolved to do better to earn her approval next time.

The cat’s like, “Nothing to see here! I’m just a box of tea with the head of a cat! Move along!” Seconds after [...]

Completely Awesome: 6/24/10

Continuing my tradition of naming these posts according to the cashier’s comments upon checkout (two counts as a tradition, right?), I submit to you “Completely Awesome.” Today’s HT trip was so awesome, in fact, that I totally forgot to take a picture. (Also I was hungry and wanted to get right to making dinner.) So [...]

Almost 100 Smacks: 6/23/10

“Almost 100 smacks” is how the cashier at Harris Teeter referred to the amount I saved.

Specifically, “almost 100 smacks” in this case is $98.09, with an out-of-pocket cost of $74.94. As you might have guessed, Super Doubles are back!

Shopping Trip: Giant, 6/13/10

Yesterday’s trip was a good one, but I forgot to get Greek yogurt. Since it was on sale at Giant, I headed there:

Giant actually also included three “tripler” coupons in its Sunday insert today (pair them with any manufacturer’s coupon worth 99 cents or less, and it will triple). I was going to get some [...]

Shopping Trip: Target and Harris Teeter, 6/12/10

Mr. Jones got home from softball today and took some ibuprofen for his knee; as he did, he mentioned that it was the first time in a long time that he’d had to take painkillers. I realized that I too have been painkillerless for weeks. It’s almost like eating more healthfully might be … good [...]
