Money Saving Challenge 2010

Well DH and I have been sharing his vehicle for the past few days and I must say I really enjoy being driven to work. We are very lucky to be able to do this since we work so close together. It just so happens that I had a week where I had no customer visits. He took my car in to get a new tire put on it today.

Last night I made my mom's fabulous fudge recipe.....my coworkers are bouncing off the walls from the sugar injection and I ate too much and gave myself a tummy ache.....not my brightest moment. Tonight I'm going to do some Christmas cookie baking to take some treats home with me to Indy.

Last night I went to RiteAid-
They were putting up the signs for a 3 day sale so they let me take advantage tonight. I got the big 23oz kelloggs raisin bran crunch normal cost $4.79 at $1.50 each. I bought 2 boxes(the deal was 2 for $5, get $2 up back and since the coupon wouldn't print until today they gave me the discount price. I was very excited. I alos bought candy canes on sale for my snowman candy cane holder I keep at work.

G. Eagle grocery
I bought a half gallon of milk to get us through until our little minivacation. When we are out of town for 10+days I try to clean out the fridge as much as possible. So it works perfect that we leave friday and trash day is Thursday. I'm trying to eat leftovers this week and make smaller meals so our fridge is empty. :) The half gallon price was more expensive but I don't want to waste so I paid a little more per oz obviously for our ideal size. I will eat cereal for breakfast on Friday to use up the leftovers if possible.
I also needed marshmellows for my fudge. I went to the store and they were charging far too high a price for the little marshmellows. So I compared the price on the marshmellow fluff. They had a slae on Jet Puff brand 7 oz jars for $1.50. I knew I would need a second jar for additional holiday bakeing....but they had fluffernutter brand 16 oz jar for $2 so I went ahead and got the larger jar for cheaper. :) Gotta watch your price per oz.

I hope everyone is enjoying all the baking sales!
