Last Wednesday when the grocery ads came out, I did my scrounging to see what we needed and what was on sale. I was also trying to buy stuff ahead as far as Thanksgiving. Plus, DH was running out of soda and I was hoping to score a decent deal. Last spring there was a buy 2 get 2 free of 12 packs of his favorite kind and there it was this week. He doesn't drink a ton of it, but likes a can every so often and we have room to store it. All in all, I did a deal on English muffins of buy one, get one free, and other things on sale and saved over $34 on things we either needed or planned to have for upcoming meals. This puts us at having saved over $225 in coupons since July. Not a bad deal. We need to buy a couple more things for our meal and the quantity will depend on how many are coming. We will be spending more than $4 per person (sorry Walmart, can't beat your deal), but I like fresh things like celery. But at least I felt like I'm saving some money while buying the things we want and will use.
I do 7 grocery apps. Two I don't get much from, but every so often I score a little on them and I figure it's better than nothing. I just cashed out another app for $10 and DH wanted some batteries from Amazon so they are basically free. Yay!
Boer's Head had a settlement and I got $26 from that. I see Amazon is going to have settlement sign ups in December so I hope we can sign up for that. Sorry they have to do that, but if we're deserving, then we should get our piece of the pie, so to speak.
Our Thanksgiving won't be huge and boisterious. We put out an invite for people from our church who might need a place to eat and we are having two of our three families coming. When we see the need out there for so many who are struggling, we realize we are very blessed to have plenty of food and a nice home, and a little extra for things. Hope it is the same in your lives as well. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and have much to be grateful for.
