Another extreme savings day Thursday




Well, Thursday turned out to be another big day with not much spent on food. Always keep a look out for freebies that come up on the news on certain days. I got 2 free tacos at Jack in the Box because I showed them my gas receipt. Then for an early dinner, I did another mystery shop at Del Taco, and got a Del's Deal: 2 Bean and Cheese Burritos, a taco, and a big drink. For this, not only do I get paid back for my money spent, but they pay me $6 for submitting this shop. I like getting paid to eat, although I try to limit this low quality food. This lunch and dinner combo was pretty unhealthy.

Finally, before my soccer game I stopped at Vons and saved 64% according the receipt, meaning I would have spent about $18 without sales and coupons but instead spent a whopping $6.81. Click on the receipt to see what I got for that price: A couple pouches of Tuna, some healthy granola, a large thing of aluminum foil, 2 Met Rx bars, and a loaf of 7 grain Ezekiel bread. Not half bad. Always clip your receipts from the Sunday paper and look for stores that will double them. Once you can find items on sale or even better on clearance, you can get great savings on stuff and even get many things free as I did with the Met Rx bars.
