We Saved $5.00 today while shopping before we even walked in the front door of the grocery store. Today was a no coupon shopping day. We needed to get meat and produce. Obviously we watched our spending and the price per Oz or the price per pound and saved. We prchased over 8lbs. of ground meat, 6lbs. of country pork ribs and saved $.30 per pound on both. Both great saving for something we needed at the grocery store. $4.20 savings on the meat purchases and the gift card from HP brings us for a total today of $9.20.
There is a little more to the story in saving five bucks though. A few months ago we needed to buy HP printer ink and low and behold the clerk gave us a $5 loaded Wal-Mart gift card courtesy of HP. She didn’t have to but it’s nice to know there are some honest people still in this world willing to inform you of some special offers even while checking out. Let’s face it, she didn’t have to be nice and we all know that service clerks aren’t paid all that well.
