When Mom Finds a Good Deal

It seems to me my Mom has a knack for finding good deals. Growing up with a family of 7 kids-sometimes I really wonder how she got us all so well-fed and loving healthy foods. BUT I do have to say I have learned a lot about good deals from her when we have gone grocery shopping together, whether it was WinCo, Costco, or even Wally World (I despise the lie of everyday low prices . . . sometimes they are more expensive!). Everytime she comes down to see P and I now though, we hit up the local Smith's. I like that place. Good produce, decent prices, and just a mile away from my house. Can't get any better than that! But anyway, back to the good deal.


When Mom finds a good deal, we just can't pass it up. Even if I end up with a trunk that looks like this a week after she leaves cuz the deal is so good she needs me to stock up for her:



Nice, eh? Never thought I could fit so much in that little hatchback of mine. How much did I spend on the trunkload of 11 giant boxes of Lucky Charms and 11 giant boxes of Honey Nut Cheerios you say? $44.00. How much did I save on those boxes? $83.38. Yeah. A-mazing. I saved almost double what I spent! $6 boxes of cereal for $2. Who would have ever thought?


Moral of the story?
My Mom knows a good deal when she sees one. I didn't even have to hunt for a coupon, and I think she is awesome. I really love a good deal.

Now I just have to find a good place to store them in my tiny house until she can come get all of them... :)
