One would think that it just makes sense to buy a case of 12 or 24 instead of individually. But according to my trusty calculator. Nope. Usually the same price, if not more..
Example: I tend to break all my hand mirrors. At big chain-stores they run about $6-7.00!
You can find the same thing for a $1.00
LAST TIP. Sometimes my favorite chain-store will have dog food or cat litter on sale where I can save $2.00 or $3.00. But I don't REALLY save anything because I find COOL things that I want to get or have to have. So, I run in for a bargain and leave with a couple of extra bags. So for ME, it would be cheaper to pay a little bit extra and go to the grocery store and get it.
Oh, Hey! That's another TIP! sort of.
So do any of YOU have any tips for this week?

Thankfully calculating in my head is one of the things I do best, so I don´t need a calculator (and I´ve worked in stores so I know how they often makes things more expensive if You buy a big pack.
Going to a grocery store You really don´t like does save some money :-) :-)One should also always calculate how much the petrol costs if one drives to another store that might save some money on what You buy. But then again, Your petrol is so cheap so You´ll have to drive very far to not save money.
Have a great day!

I don't browse the grocery store...I hit the vegetables....on to milk over to frozen food and out the door. If I go up and down the isles..I'll find stuff to try that I don't need.
I thought of you today...I hit the local Ace hardware store where plants were 75% off. They were in really bad shape much of them burnt up because its been so hot and dry here. But I got a huge fern....for $5. It's like a boston fern but much bigger and the fronds are leathery. Not sure what it is exactly but I've been wanting one every year but always too expensive. It just needed a trim of all the dead fronds and I'm sure it will look great in a month. Bought a few other small plants for a container I'm trying to fill.
You are so right about paying a little more to buy at the grocery store because if you go in Target...you'll come out with more than what you went in for.
Love the piggy bank with a band aid. Why didn't I think of that? We're lucky enough to use the farmers markers here in Vermont. Just the essentials helps keep you away from the non-.
