Today I got into somemore trouble

Now I haven't been able to get Country Bob's sauce up here in NY at all unless I made a trip down to the St. Louis area.  So I had seen a coupon today again on line for them and got to thinking.  I ended up getting a case of the alpurpose sauce.  It dident cost and arm and a leg niether for the household.  And trust me none will go to waste here.  The Office staff there is so sweet and let me know when I could expect it here on my door step.  They both asked how I found out about it and told both that I diden't live to far from the plant when I was growing up.  Pluss with me working for some places you pretty much know what flys off the shelves also.  And here I was about ready to call a dear friend of mine to send some up and pay her for it.  So now I can order direct from the company.  Now when I say look at web sites you never know what you may stumble on.  It is so true now a days.  And cheaper than I could have got it at the stores down home also.  You can sometimes stumble on great deals out there on the web site.  Now if you seen the same item at the store ask yourself do I need it and can I get it cheaper else were out there.  You have started to going on the frugal side then.  With me I ask myself if the purchase can do double or triple duty also.  Alot of times it does more than that.  Like my food procssor it does 5 duties in one so does my Kitchenaid mixer if not more.  Now I will admit that I do not have all the attachments for the Kitchenaid.  There are alot of things on the wish list that I have.  And yes I will be saveing up for more out of the mixer.  Some may not like what I do and that is ok by me.  At least I can wait on alot of things in life.  Pluss it makes the things I get that much sweeter also.  I am not saying that everything that I do would be right for you but, at least it is a start to do things.  What I have done was grab some things from alot of differant sites out there.  Now when I started all of this is when there was only one income coming into the household.  And alot of it has stuck thru the years like cutting the dryer sheets in half and useing less of the laundery deturgent.  What I do is when everyone is out of the house except for me I can sit down and do things like cut the dryer sheets in half and put them in zip lock baggies.  Then reuse the baggies for more dryer sheets after i go thru them.  Pluss to keep a stocked household for the very lean times that come eather way.  Sometimes I wander in how some folks do it.  As what was said to me today the rich get richer and us broke folks make the world go around but streaching and clipping coupons and looking for free stuff and the best deals out there.  Eather way you look at it most of us are richer than the rich folks out there now a days.  Ok folks have fun and play even harder.
