Megan returned this afternoon from her college orientation. She said only her and one other kid arrived sans parents. She thought this was sad. I thought she meant they were the only ones there without a parent; she meant that all of these parents could not let their children go alone. She is definitely my girl! Ready to tackle life and get on her own. So, what better way to get her started then by teaching hre how to save lots of money, right?

Can you tell what I am stockpiling this week? DH loves white American cheese, but it is almost $4.00 regularly. I paid 97¢! Good thing this freezes well. The raviolis are a great snack while the kids are out of school, same with the fruit snacks. And I have been waiting for a good deal on popcorn. DH has been popping it the old fashioned way in a pot on the stove since our popcorn popper bit it. And at 70¢ a box, this was just too good to pass up. What great deals have you found this week?
