Hello, Families, I’m back! And glad to be here!
I am so happy to have been asked back to write the deals blog. Now in these challenging times, freebies and stockpiling are even more of an obsession with me! I’ll be sharing the deals with you, and all my enthusiasm for finding them.
My favorite freebie yesterday, after shopping, was the free piece of KFC chicken. I had a free shopping spree yesterday, and stopped into KFC for an early lunch. It was not too crowded then. I didn’t need the coupon. The grilled chicken is absolutely delicious.
I stopped in a different KFC at dinner time. Totally mobbed! And very few people were getting the freebie. They were ordering the 10 piece bucket of grilled (not fried) chicken with two large sides for $15.99. I admit it, I was hungry enough, I double dipped. Now that it’s grilled, I will probably be indulging more – I don’t usually visit fast food.
My totally free shopping trip yesterday was a visit to CVS and to Home Depot. I had a gift card for Home Depot from a friend, and used it to buy patio furniture and garden supplies. But typical for me, I also brought my coupons, and bought cleaning supplies, batteries, and anything I could that was on sale, clearance, and I could buy with my coupons. That stretched the gift a bit. I still have my coupon money on my gift card!
I’ll write up my CVS adventure in the next article. Over $50 worth of merchandise – absolutely free, using coupons, Extra Care Bucks, and a reward gift card.
