Do you have tips on pinching pennies?
With the current state of the economy, I find myself trying to pinch pennies. I’m realizing my disability is making that challenging. Because I don’t drive, I can’t easily shop the deals at various locations at a moment’s notice. Although I try to get the best bargains it’s frustrating knowing I miss out.
It’s also frustrating when single-serve products I can manage are considered a convenience, therefore having higher pricing. For example, I can snag a 59 oz carton of Minute Maid OJ for $3.18 at Walmart but the 6 count of 10 oz is $4.78. I can’t handle the carton so I usually spend more for the singles. The same goes for oatmeal. The cups I can manage on my own, but comparing pricing the bulk amount is so much cheaper. If I buy the big container, I won’t be able to make it myself. I could go on and on but you get the idea.
Do you have any tips on saving money? Do you opt for “convenience” even if it costs more?
