I'm going to try and adhere to the rules of the community but still learning how to do it all.
As for shopping. No. I don't normally hit so many stores in one day, but I wanted to do a trip around my favorite stores so I hit them all up in one day for the sake of making a post.
Even hitting all those stores though it was less than an hour. With good parking, close proximity, and knowing what I'm getting I get in and out in a hurry! I was going to add a 'time is money' portion to the post. I was going to add 'factor in price of fuel to get there' to the post. But in the end I just did an overview of shopping in town and left the rest for the next posts.
Mostly I'm going to post about how to get the best deal around town in my posts. I'm writing because I'm hoping someday my kids will see my posts and learn a thing of two about how to be frugal with their money. My grandmother was a queen of being frugal and I wish she was still around to show me the way....so I leave a trail for the kids who come after me :)
