Jul. 1, 2008 - Tightwad Tuesday - Kroger
My tip this week will be a little different than normal. One of our local Kroger stores closed. DD and I went to see what kind of bargains we could get last week. I spent $44.34, but got over $170 worth of stuff!
When a business is closing and they have 50-75% off everything, it is so easy to go crazy with buying everything. My tip this week is to ask yourself, "Is this purchase doing my husband good, and not harm?" based off of Proverbs 31.
Over our kitchen counters, we have indoor flood lights. They normally run well over $6 per bulb. Since they are so bright, and are in the room we use the most, we go through them very quickly. Finding them for $1.64 was a no-brainer! Stock up! We bought 6 of them.
A few more no-brainer purchases were:
Spike seasoning, which we use a lot - 75% off.
Glycerin -- Since I use LOTS of it with all of my homemade recipes, I couldn't pass it up since it was 75% off.
I found an 8-pack of white bar soap that was only $2.09. Even if it turns out to be too harsh for sensitive body parts, I can use it to make my homemade Bath & Body hand soaps.
Cover Girl Smoothers for only $2.00 each.
Multi-vitamins - 75% off.
A few other purchases included things like green tea, organic marinades that were only $1 each, organic waffles, and hair color. DD even found some colored, flavored, wax to use on her braces that was 75%. She was pretty excited about that! 
So, my dear sisters, as you do your shopping this week, ask yourself, "Will this purchase do my husband good?" You might be surprised how much you end up saving!

You did great on the deals this week. And Kroger's was probably really glad to get rid of some of it's stock.

You did a great job of bringing goods from afar that will bless your family! Yes, it is so wise to ask yourself that wonderfully wise question. Thank you for that reminder.

What a deal, Stacy! You were able to bless your family and still stay within budget! I've been hearing of the closing of Kroger's, and am bemoaning the fact that we don't have one near us to wait for it to close, LOL!!
Have a lovely week!
