Rainy Days are Perfect for Shopping!

Although it was a really gloomy day and the storms that came through kept me up last night, I still had a very successful day of shopping! Now Wednesdays are one of my favorite days of the week - Publix's new ad begins and I make a giant loop around my city hitting as many stores as possible and saving tons of money - while attempting to conserve gas. ;)

Today was such a busy day that my shopping took a bit longer - causing me to get home later - so this is going to be a cliff notes version of savings and will include my three largest stops.

First Stop:  Target

As a quick side note I would like to add that when you bring your own bags to Target you automatically save .05 cents off your purchase - now that may not seem like a lot - but if you love Target even half as much as I do the savings will add up over time.

Second Stop: Earth Fare

                                I'd like to start by letting you know all of this was completely FREE:



    Earth Fare has some AWESOME promos!! To begin with every week they give something away as a showcased product and all you have to do is spend $5-$10 to receive it (depending on which one they list in the coupon) this week the Tia's chips were free with a $5 purchase. Now moving onto the whole chicken, carrots, and mashed potatoes - these items are part of their "Welcome Home" promotion showcasing a few of their different departments and all you had to do is sign up for their email and spend $10.

  Earth Fare doesn't clearance, but they "discontinue" so you can always find some great deals in addition to their awesome sales and in store coupon books. Another great thing to check out is their monthly calendar full of great events including the Thursday night "Kids eat Free" promos!!
