Thanksgiving savings

For a 25 lb turkey, a huge spiral ham & all the fixings for 8 adults including beverages, appetizers, main course, sides & desserts we spent a total of $120. It could have been a bigger savings if I had complete control but this was helping my mom. I saved her a total of $40 with coupons! Still a success. Have a super happy thanksgiving!

What can $20 get you?

I needed a few things to get through the week with little cash. I had a few coupons and zoned in on store sales. Heres what I got with my $20 below. With out coupons and sale price it would have cost $29.38. That's not bad for a need only buy! Well the brownies were not "needed" lol. They were $1.39 each but I had 3 online coupons for $1 off one. So they were $0.39 each!!! Bargain!
