Bi-Lo Sale on All Laundry Detergent

Bi-Lo has All laundry detergent on sale this week, Buy One Get One Free. I picked up two bottles, which were $5.48 each, and along with two $1.00 off coupons, I ended up paying $1.74 for each bottle. The sale runs through Tuesday, July 19, 2011.

Suave Shampoo

One of the ways that I save money when I shop is by looking for items marked with the BONUS sign. For example, the other day I noticed we were running low on shampoo, and since there have not been any good sales here lately, I decided to buy my old standby: the 22.5 ounce bottle of Suave at Walmart for $1.38. When I went to buy the shampoo I noticed right away that some of the bottles were 33% more BONUS bottles, which meant I was getting 30 ounces of shampoo for the regular price of $1.38. This was only on a selected variety of the shampoo, which doesn't matter to me, so I bought 10 bottles, which is enough to last us for a long while, and still left some of the shelf for the next person. The BONUS bottles give me more shampoo for the same amount of money, which is a great bargain and in my case it's like getting three bottles for free.

Crash and Burn Items 7-14-11

Crash and Burn items from today include 1 can of apricot halves with Splenda (40 cents), 1 can no sugar added sliced peaches (40 cents), 1 can short cut green beans (40 cents), 1 box 48 decaffeinated tea bags ($1.25), 1 large glue stick (25 cents), and 1 box 250 straws (75 cents). The box of straws was taped up, so some of them probably spilled out. It's been a long time since I've bought or had any straws in the house, so this is a welcome treat at a bargain price.

What's for Dinner: Chili

My Dad asked me if I had any canned tomatoes this morning, so I gave him a can of them from the pantry. He just surprised me with a big bowl of Chili, so that is what we are having for dinner tonight. What are you having for dinner at your house?
