  1. Christmas
    Confession: I planned VERY poorly and ended up spending way too much on Christmas gifts this year. In fact, I let life get the better of me and ended up doing the bulk of my shopping in the week before Christmas when prices were anything but at their lowest. So, for Christmas 2018, I am...

    Granted, Safeway isn't the cheapest store in the neighborhood but there are certain products that Aldi's doesn't offer and some name brand items that I prefer. So using the Club Member and mobile app they offer, I find that I am slowly building my stockpile of certain items and saving more...

    I was sent an general email and one of the articles displayed was about senior discounts. I think it is useful information. Senior Discounts Keep this list - - - and Send a copy to your senior friends and relatives. As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently...

  11. Coupons
    I'm returning to couponing after about 20+ years. (My 21 year old daughter got me back into it :hugz:). Things have really changed, but some things remain the same: I've tried a few methods, and find that my old method of using a recipe index-card box is the best way for me. I am sitting...

Also watching emails for items we use that offer bonus points. So not purchasing for the sake of points, getting the deals and the extra...

My goal is to make it though the first two weeks of December (Dec 14) without shopping. It is going to be tough, as far as meats go, but we will have to have...
