Small kindness from others added up and bought a few things at the store
While shopping at store number one. I reached down to buy the bacon and found a lone coupon someone put right on the bacon. 75 cents off.
Store number two found a quarter in the cart.
Store number three I bought four bags of stir fry veggies and two bars of soap. total was originally over $6 but I used a $4 of coupon next order the store gave last time. Used a 35 cent off soap coupon my mom gave me. the store doubled it. the store also gave me 5 cents off for using my own bag.
My over $6 order came down to a quarter and some change for tax.
Paid for it will the my found money.

An almost free day..can't beat free. I've left coupons next to things also. Figure if I'm not going to use it maybe someone else can. Mostly when even with the coupon it's still more than I want to pay.
Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.

Excellent DEALS! Its nice to "find" coupons for the items you needed anyway. I try to remember to leave coupons for someone to find, but usually forget. Think I cut out several just for that purpose & put them at the front of my coupon caddy for my next trip.

I will often leave coupons too. Someone else might as well use it since I am not buying it. (I always wondered if the store clerks come along and toss them!) Originally Posted by NewLeaf

Congrats, imagine!!......maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket!!!
