This is my journey back from broke. And about staying unbroke, even
on the days I want to splurge. Afterall, no one ever called pickles a necessity!

Always be Alert

Just a quick post tonight, because how could I not share when I get taken for a ride financially?  At least it was a mini ride.

So I went grocery shopping today, and, as I always do on Sundays, I headed straight for the bargain bin in the bakery section. . . this is a cart they hide behind the doughnuts with the marked down bakery items.

My score for the day was a package of 2 ciabatta rolls, marked down to 2/$1.   The package rang up as $0.50, which I wasn't sure was right, but I wasn't going to argue.

So, $0.25 per roll.  Not a bad deal.

Until I got home and noticed that the standard tag on the package was 6 rolls for $1.18.

So I actually paid MORE for buying about-to-be-thrown-away rolls.

Not really a shining moment in my grocery shopping, money-saving highlight reel.
