Milk at BJ's

After I posted the $2.99/gallon price for milk at Walgreens I was at BJ's (where milk has been $3.09/gallon for skim for as long as I can remember) and it was $2.35/gallon! I couldn't believe it! I bought two so I could stick one in my freezer. Yup, that's right. You can freeze milk. Just empty about 1 cup out first so it has room to expand without bursting the container. Then, when you're ready to use it, thaw it in the fridge and it's good for about 1 week. Mmmooo!

GDA Walgreens

Walgreens is selling Pepsi 12 packs for 5/$15 this week with a $5 register reward coupon that prints when you make your purchase.

Walgreens has Pet milk on sale for $2.99/gallon, which is the best price I've seen for milk in a long time. Plus, there was a coupon for $1 off 2 gallons Pet milk in the paper either last Sunday or the week before.

When you go to the register, ask to do two transactions. Buy the Pepsi first, get the $5 RR, then buy the milk using your $5 RR and your $1 off coupon and volia! The milk's free!

PS - in case you aren't going to drink 2 gallons of milk before the expiration date, if you take a little milk out of the jug (to allow room for expansion) you can put it in your freezer for up to 6 months (fridge style freezer) or a year (deep freezer). When you thaw it, it's good for about a week.

Happy saving!

It's 2pm, do you know where your money is?

I just discovered a new website that is AMAZING! It's called mint.com and it tracks your spending for you. Best of all, it's totally secure and totally free! You add your accounts (checking, savings, investments, loans, everything) and they track your spending, send e-mail and SMS alerts when you go over your budget, and offer suggestions of where you can cut back. I'm having a lot of fun with this website. Can't wait to see where I can save more!
