I LOVE the $0.99 Store!!!!

    I love feeding my family healthy food. That can be super expensive sometimes. My kids are turning into teenagers and they are CONSTANTLY hungry! Especially now that they're home all day on summer break. I'm trying to teach them there is most definitely a difference between boredom and hunger, but I think most of what I say goes in one ear and out the other these days.
    Anyway I try to just make sure that what we have in the house is healthy that way they're not just filling up on junk all day. Like two weeks ago I bought 12 boxes of Cascadian farm organic granola bars. Why? Because they were at the $0.99 store. They're like $4 a box at Sprout's!!! My kids know they're only allowed to have one a day, they're good about that, so don't worry that that's all they'll be eating for a while.
    A week before that, I bought six bags of organic whole wheat flour from the $0.99 store. Again, "why?" you ask. Again, because they're like $5 at Sprout's!!!

    My most recent trip to the $0.99 store was fabulous!!! ...

4 quarts of heavy whipping cream, 2- 6 packs of Tropicana orange juice to go, a gallon of minute maid orange juice, 8 packages of dan-o-nino yogurts, 3 half gallon cartons of Silk coconut milk, 2 half gallon cartons of Horizon organic chocolate milk, and 4 half gallon cartons of Horizon milk!!!!!

 

    Total $24!!! The Horizon half gallon milk cartons were on sale at Sprout's this week for $3.49. I would've spent $20 just on the milk at Sprout's. While not everything I bought is organic, it is all stuff I would've bought anyway. I just prefer to get it for $0.99!!! Who wouldn't?

    I 've learned that first thing Saturday morning is a great time to go too! That's when they bring out new stuff to stock. But you've got to get there early, because there's a crowd, like buzzards, pulling stuff off the carts, so a lot of things never even make it to the refrigerator before they run out! You may say you don't feel like dealing with that, but honestly it's not horrible, crazy like people get at Christmas time. Everyone is pretty darn polite and the guy that does the stocking is a sweet heart.

    So, yeah...I like the $0.99 store, I like my thrift store, I like saving money!!!
