Changing the way I do the $20.00 challenge

April 17th, 2007 at 06:39 pm

Starting today, I am changing the way I compute the $20.00 challenge. I am going to compute "savings" on things I purchase as a loss leader, using coupons, etc.
I will not compute actual money "in the bank". I won't include "card savings" because I really think the prices are inflated on that program. I have determined that the challenge can be whatever works for any participant. There is no right or wrong.
At any rate, I saved $18.66 by purchasing loss leaders, mark downs, and using coupons at Albertson's today. My best buy there, was two boxes of Cheerios at 50 cents a box. They were at a loss leader price, and I used coupons. No double coupons at this store.

    I completely agree. I think the stores just want you think that you have a saved a bunch of money, but really you haven't.

    I think you're absolutely right. Whatever works and gets us motivated to save is a winner in my book.
