This weekend we went pet food shopping. I spent around $10 and got one 1.79 bag of treats for .79, $5.99 bag free, $3.96 bag free +4cents back, two $4.76 bags for .76, $8.43 bag for .43, and $11.96 bag for 7.96.
Normal total for 6 bags of food and one of treats=41.65
We spent $10.66 and have two full dog food bins and treats beside. Plus more $5.99 off coupons and more to print.

jkuo13-I hit those Target sales, too! Got clothes for my son for cheaper than the thrift store!

I usually don't buy from Pier 1, but I window shop there a lot, and I got ALL of my Christmas shopping done for next year, minus my husband and son, but including co-workers, in laws, siblings, parents, nieces and nephews, 2 aunts and 1 uncle, and other friends for less than $100! I was proud of that :0)

Feels good doesn't it? One of my projects for this year is to declutter my home some more. I've been slowly shedding a lot of stuff I don't need. I recently gave away some extra computer parts and gave an old SLR film camera to a budding student photographer. Since I've been on a decluttering mission, I've been trying to consciously only bargain shop for stuff I need.
