So, the other day I went shopping with Mom. We were at Family Dollar and she pointed out 7.2 oz tubes of Pepsodent and Aim to me. I purchased the last two Pepsodent Tubes to have on hand, saving a dollar or more on the cost.

My daughter and I went to Marden’s the other day with friends. While there we came across some great savings:
1. I purchased 4 spray bottles of fruit scented body spray at .10 each. They were all full-size bottles.
2. My daughter picked up a very long telephone cord for only .50.
I love finding good deals!

Buy Cheap Conditioner

The best place to purchase conditioner is at a dollar store or on clearance, while using a coupon. I stock up whenever I can get conditioner for under $1.00. This saves money over time.
I find that even the cheap stuff works fine.

Go to Wal*Mart.
Need I say more?
Oh, okay. It doesn’t have to be Wal*Mart. It can be anywhere that you can get a package deal cheaper than through the school department. You can give the school a picture for the yearbook if you choose.
