Yesterday I picked up some free toothpaste at Rite Aid (free with coupons and +Up Rewards) and went to Safeway to stock up on some items which were on sale from their Mix & Match sale for super cheap. I saved a ton and am getting many free Powerades from the coupons I bought on Ebay. My hubby is an athlete and we go through lots of Powerade and Gatorade so when I saw coupons on Ebay which would make them free with a sale, I jumped on it! Also, I saw that Ann Taylor Loft is having a huge sale online. I found great deals and put them in my online shopping cart, then I realized that I still can’t justify the purchase (even though its a good deal) because it’s not in my budget. Goodbye online shopping cart. Hello staying on budget!
