I guess being crabby also means big savings while shopping.
On Friday, at Target we bought a bunch of school supplies for a measly $15 (5 24 pack crayons, 5 glue bottles, 5 boxes of Kleenex, 4 rulers, 12 glue sticks, 5 packs of filler paper, 10 spiral notebooks, 1 48 pack crayons). A dent in the crazy long list of stuff my kids need this year.
At Staples, that was where the real savings were. First I bought 4 pairs of scissors and 10 folders for $3. Then I needed more printer ink. The printer I have (HP Photosmart D7160) has 6 printer cartridges. Staples sells them all in one package with 150 4x6" sheets of photo paper for $35. There was a special going on where you also received a $10 gift card when buying HP ink. 6 ink cartridges and a ton of photo paper for $25, that's less than one printer cartridge for my old printer!
Next I needed paper. And I hate buying the little packages of paper all the time so I usually suck it up once a year and buy a box. Their current special was $20 off. So 5000 sheets of paper for $32. Or $3.20 per 500 sheet package. Now if only I can keep the twins out of it.
All top of all that, I had a Staples "12% associate discount" coupon so the ink was really only $22 and the paper $28.
At the grocery store I saved $105 on my $250 grocery bill.
Last week I also ordered 10 pairs of The Children's Place jeans for $83 with tax and shipping. Their jeans are currently $9.99 and I used coupon code FMR77 for another 25% off.
I may be on a roll, what should I buy next? hehe
