Save Some Money at the Store

Saving is usually on peoples mind some of the time , and not most of the time. Here is a simple lesson that I learned and it has saved me at least $5.00 to $10.00 on each trip. My wife asks me to stop by the store on my way home and grab a gallon of milk for mashed potatoes and pudding. So after work I rush to the store and all the way in the back at the end of isle thirty something. And there it is the delicious milk at $4.35 a gallon. Seeing this my eyes damn near pop out of their sockets. I just want the milk not 2% of the cow. Then I talk myself into buying it as I am there already. And then as I walk back to the front and pick up some peperoni rolls and those cookies priced $2.00 for $4.00. I proceed to the checkout and pay damn near $10.00 and I got two things I didn't need plus a gallon of overpriced milk.

THE FIX

Remember all the times you drive past the gas and go stations and the sign with Milk 2 for $5. If you go in there and get the milk you are saving $1.85 a gallon. And the best part is your not walking two city blocks to pay the extra price. And 90% of the time your not enticed to purchase other items because your more focused on your mission. In AND OUT.

YOUR SAVINGS
One gallon a week for 52 weeks = $96.20
And thats just the milk , not all the other items you may have purchased
