Memorial Day savings

Memorial day should be a day when we honor those who have fought for our freedom in our armed services. But it has also become that start of summer weekend where every furniture store, car dealership, and department store runs ads for deep discounts on their items. Of course, some of the sales will not end on Monday,but will continue throughout the week. Supermarkets as well will offer specials on traditional picnic items such as watermelon, soda pop, hamburger, hot dogs, chips, buns, and condiments. This is a great time to stock up on the items that your family uses on a daily or weekly basis. I purchased 5 twelve packs of pop (assorted brands)for $12, chips were $1.99 per bag (Lay's) and gourmet buns were 2/$3 (normally $2.59 ea). And I took my coupons and reduced my grocery bill by $64.

Gardening took over most of the weekend. There is something special about putting my hands in the dirt and watching things grow. Here is to hoping your seeds are planted and your harvest is on its way.

Hope your weekend was all that you wanted it to be. Till next time..............
