Here's my confession. After my husband got paid on Friday, I went out that evening to Kmart to purchase Easter "stuff." I just wanted to make sure we got our stuff before the money ran out!
Well, to my shame, I did not shop sales or have coupons. I know! Crazy!
But God redeemed my hastiness. You see, two things that I purchased went on sale yesterday. Did I pout and fret? No. I merely took my receipt into Kmart and they gave me back the difference which was $10!
Now, getting $10 back would have been a good enough deal, but I wanted chicken.
You see, Apple Market had some chicken. It was on sale for $0.89 a pound. I had two coupons for $1 a package of the Pilgrim Brand chicken that was on sale. Sounds easy enough. The problem is the Apple Market by us STILL DOESN'T TAKE INTERNET COUPONS!!!!!! (Can you tell I'm a little frustrated? I'm like "Wake up and join the 21st century already!)
So, on the way home from Kmart we stopped at another Apple Market. I pickup two packages totalling 6 pounds for $5.34. After my $2 off in coupons, my total became $3.34 which is $0.56 a pound. That's a savings of 37% off the sale price. I'm not sure how much the chicken regularly goes for, but I think I did a good job.
