Great Deal on Tennis Shoes

Darlin Dan and I needed some new tennis shoes and I had a plan. We had not bought tennis shoes since August of 2010. These shoes are now looking pretty sad. We wore them out.  At that time, we spent $55 for two pair.  This year we did even better! My plan was to do pretty much all of our Christmas shopping at Kohl's with 30% off plus receiving Kohl's cash and then use the Kohl's cash for our new tennies.  I was hoping that the tennies would go on sale and they did.  So we had $60 in Kohl's cash expiring on Jan. 2. We were able to buy 2 pair of tennies for $20 after Kohl's cash and 15% off the balance (an internet coupon)!! Our receipt said we saved over $100. Now I plan to pay off the credit card balance this month and will avoid extra finance charges. This was one of our more frugal Christmases.

Now how sad is this? At this moment, I'm spending the money I saved yesterday on a new car battery. BooHoo!

HEB deal

HEB has the bun length-16 oz. pack of bar s franks for $1 this week. We can use the $1/2 coupon from 1/30RP and get $ .50 a pack hot dogs. This isn't free, but the best price I've found so far. We actually enjoy weiners in various dishes from breakfast to supper. I am now planning a weiner night in our weekly menu!

Darlin Dan also loves bologna-(yuck). This coupon is also good for bologna. The cheapest I've found a 16 oz. pack of Bar S bologna is at Walmart for $1.06. He never minds having a bologna and cheese sandwich for supper. So now we'll also have a sandwich night! Since I can't stomache bologna, I'll have grilled cheese (yum!).
