Money Saving Mondays

OMG, we so have not been saving money lately as much as we should. WE have been a sick bunch of folks at our house. Our allergies have turned into infections of the upper respitory. YUCKO!

We discovered a few things about buying medicine.

*check with your insurance company on which pharmacy to use, some insurance plans won't allow Walgreens CVS or local pharmacies

*for allergy meds in bulk in generic form check your local Sam's Club Pharmacy. They often have at least a month worths supply to six months supply under $20.00

*even with insurance its still freaking expensive

Money Savings Monday

Do you eat lots of things like rice, pasta, and beans?

Then you need to buy it in bulk if you can. The larger quantities will last a long time, and you will not only save money on the over all per servings, and you will save on the gas used in your vechile running to the store on a weekly basis.

Do you need gatorade or powerage? Then buy the powerade not the premixed liquid in bottles. You are paying them for bottle, and for the water used in the bottle. Don't you have water coming out of your tap, or your water cooler purifier? Then that's good too. Plus, you can water it  down, so, its not so hard on your body to process the dye and sugar.

Money Saving Monday

So, this weekend, was not a good weekend for our house. My kids got the stomach flu starting on Thursday through Saturday. We could not get to a store to buy groceries for after we are doing being sick. The one treat I looked forward to every day was the flavored coffee creamer I buy as a daily treat for myself. Well, I basically ran out. To make it last longer until I could get to the store, I added my skim milk. It lasted until after my first cup of coffee this am. So, stretch that flavor just a tad bit more and save money in the process.
