I think I have mentioned before how my husband has taken lessons and really learned how to be a thrifty shopper too. This is a perfect example of that, and I am so proud of him!
He recently needed a red polo shirt for an event, but hardly ever wears red. So he didn't want to spend a lot of money on one that he'd rarely wear. Fortunately, he has come to appreciate Kohl's as much as I do.
He went there and found a nice $30 shirt that was perfect, on sale marked down to $9. He asked the cashier about the pocket of the shirt being sewn just slightly off center (can't even tell), and she offered him and additional 15% off for that, bringing the price down to $7.65. Plus, Kevin also had a 20% off coupon for the day, which brought his purchase down to $6.12. So with tax, his new $30 shirt only cost him $6.61! GREAT JOB!!!
One of the best deals in town is at the library. Specifically, I often go to the :La Quinta library, not just to check out books, but to also purchase old books. They offer them for just a very small fee, and have biographies, self-help books, magazines and novels, among others. So you can find some great deals depending on your interests.
This week I found a book on success by John Gray and an interesting book by Liz Carpenter on public speaking. Each was $.10, so I got two hard cover, fun books in great condition for a whopping $.20!!! Not bad at all!
Got to see a FREE pre-screening of the new movie "The Judge" last night in Rancho MIrage. The official release date is Friday Oct. 10th. Robert Downey, Jr. and Robert Duvall are soooo good. Don't miss it! Here's a peek: http://youtu.be/BJanBLo6AOY
Just thinking about eggs. Do you ever eat them out in restaurants? I do. I don't know how you might like eggs cooked, but I always order mine scrambled. I often order a ONE egg breakfast when we go out on Sundays. But it never fails, I get a plate with what sure seems like it's more than one egg. I even went to a casino the other evening for a concert, and afterwards went to eat and ordered their two egg breakfast, and it was like I received four scrambled eggs. The plate of food was huge. So if you like a big helping but don't want to pay more for it, try scrambled eggs. Just a thought I wanted to share. You might be surprised what a big meal you get for a smaller price. And try it with a little salsa.
