Trying to be Thrifty

I’ve never been much of a coupon clipper, or a deal finder, but with the way the economy is going lately, I think everyone is looking for ways to save some money. Every Thursday, I see all the blogs that participate in the Thrifty Thursday blog meme, and the wonderful deals these ladies are managing to get, and I start wondering if maybe something I should start looking into.

Dorie, from Dories Diaries hosts the Thrifty Thursday blog meme/carnival and I love reading about the awesome deals she’s gotten over the past week. Now most of her deals are from CVS and Walgreens, two stores that don’t exist in here in hicksville USA, so following her example is pretty much out of the question, unless I want to drive an hour and a half to find these stores, which in my gas guzzling vehicle negates any savings that I might have. So I’ve been looking for other ways to save.

You can search by store or item category, the site is so easy to use that you can find a discount for what you’re looking for in just minutes, well, that is if you know what you’re looking for, me I like to just browse and see what’s on sale.

Maybe soon I’ll be one of Dorie’s Thrifty Thursday participants, and able to list all the amazing deals that I’ve found, but from past experience, or maybe it’s another one of those defective genes passed down from my Gram, it’ll probably end up costing me more money, because when we find deals we have to buy them whether or not we even need and or want them, simply because they are deals! Of course, I couldn’t get her ‘well endowed female gene’ but I managed to get every bad habit that she has…
