With the price of gas and the heat wave we've been having lately, I like to get my groceries and that weeks supply and get home ASAP.  I usually get my sales papers in the mail on Wednesdays.  On Thursday I sit down and plan my menu around what's on sale.  Friday, we head to Walmart with the sales flyers in hand.  They price comp everything.  There's no need to go running from store to store.  Not many people know but the Family Dollar store does it also.  Usually on Fridays I make a stop at a local thrift shop near Walmart.  I went today and got the boys some Winter clothes. ( I know the heat index in Mobile today was 108 and I was buying Winter clothes).  This thrift store has different color tags on their items.  Each week 3 colors are discounted 30%,50%, or 70%.  Today I hit the jackpot.  I got each boy about 5 long sleeve shirts each.  The most I paid for one is 58 cents.  I got Matt 2 pairs of jeans for under 1.50 each.  I got Chandler 4 pair for the same price.  I am now watching out for Matt a good pair of boots and they'll be set for the Winter.  I also found them a neat shelf for their room for only 99 cents.  It's going to be great for their hotwheels.  Anyways I just wanted to share some ways that I try to be frugal!
