As a stay at home wife/mom i find it my "Job" to make the money my husband earns go as far as possible. I work hard at finding good deals and to stay as frugal as possible. I use coupons, i shop the sale racks, i go to consignment sales and thrift stores. I also have a membership to Costco. I went and scooped out Sams and found that Costco actually has the better deals and saves (me) more. We hit Costco up about every other Sunday. Why Sunday? Well because one we are already out and two little girl LOVES to go to the snack bar and get a big'ol hot dog. They have a deal on Hot dogs..you get the foot long dog and large drink for just $1.50!! Yep! I split it with her and get a very berry sunday for dessert. Then we peruse the isles for samples. That is her favorite part. Then i pick up my usual...Huggies, Wipes, Batteries, Milk. Why those items? How much is saved?? Huggies usually cost around $10 for a pack of 32. I get a box of 224 for $40. So that saves me around $30 (for the equivalent). I save about $7 on wipes. On Batteries i save $4. And Milk i save 0.35 cents per gallon. Trust me that adds up when you have a 2 yr old running around. Worth the $50 membership...YES! For me anyway. What are some ways you save money??
