Bargain shopping

I've been staying with my mother until I start my job back (laid off).

Anyways, I come home and see this (See below). She only spent $43.68.







85 bottles of Gatorade... and alot of other crap. 82 Packs of toilet paper.

That is taking bargain shopping to another level. I just shook my head and took the pics.

I go to the store and spend $97 on two small bags with nothing meaningful inside. Person in front of me gets four bags of good food stuffs for $37

And then there are those coupon things too that some people use.

Man I waste a lot of money

Some grocery store in Evansville IN was running Triple coupon sales... meaning if you had a coupon for $.50 or less, they would triple it.

So the Gator juice and Toilet paper were free after using the coupons. She printed ALOT off the computer.

Buy somthing get somthing free + coupon. 328 rolls of Toilet paper... That's more than a years worth. They'll go bad before then. LOL

I would hope it is more than a years worth! Otherwise we know what someone is full of.

If I was that thrifty at shopping I would have a lot more mod money for the truck.
I can't seem to find a store that takes triple coupons on Budweiser.

Me neither.

The story is.... the toilet paper was on sale.. two for $2... but she had coupons for $2 off a package... so they were free + tax.

Same deal with the Gatorade.
