Awesome Homeland deals!

Last week I was able to make some cool purchases at Homeland and only spent $0.82 (and that included tax of $0.33)! Here is what I purchased: 1 bottle of Mt Olive sweet relish, Cascade gel, Breyer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough ice cream (yum!!!), and 2 1 lt bottles of Glaceau water. That was a savings of $11.86 and 96% off!!! I just received this weeks sale ad for Homeland so I will be getting together some good deals and posting them soon.

Official Blogger!!

I'm officially a blogger and excited to start journaling about my family and the great deals I get at the grocery store. This is my first post and my first blog so be patient as I don't really know what I'm doing... I feel God has guided me to a place to help make our ends stretch and meet. Our family has gone through a challenging financial period but God has shown us many blessings along the way. In the process, I have come across many other blogs of moms doing the same thing and they have inspired me to share what I am learning. I hope to inspire others to make it in these difficult economic times as well. I will keep you posted as I snag some awesome deals.
