Well, I recognize some of the grocery deals...but I'm curious about the other items! How'd you do it?
Marj,
I wondered when someone would ask. There are some really odd things on that list, I know. I got the non-grocery items free in various ways: I got the birds and gift wrap when Hallmark had a Q online for $10 off any purchase. Each computer was allowed two Q's. The TV was someone's rejected broken equipment that David repaired. The blind was similar: our new blind broke, they sent a replacement and told us to toss the broken one, but David took it apart and repaired it. Floss was a Wag sale and Q deal. Haircut? I give the male cuts here, which saves us $18 a pop.
Truly well done! Jon does a good job of reminding our kids how repairing our things is like paying ourselves. Important life lessons.
