Thanksgiving was enjoyable and I was blessed to spend time with my family.  Today however I'm enjoying spending time at home. Yes I will always have chores to do but today is more relaxing than normal.  I got all the dirty dishes done before I went to bed and I dealt with the little leftovers we had so I'm already ahead of the game. Ha ha.  I'm am not a black Friday shopper because I don't like crowds or fighting over those deals.  So you won't see out & about today...I'm spending today at home.

This was a quick trip after doing some merchandising work but even tho it was quick I was able to save $50.00 or 55% in this trip.  I finally picked up the turkey for Thanksgiving- 18+ lb frozen turkey for $11.60,  6 boxes of stove top stuffing $6.00, Best Foods Mayo $2.99, 4 cans Swanson broth $2.00 and more for a total of $40.21.  Now I was happy with that total. I didn't use any paper coupons but I did load digital coupons to my Safeway card.  

After I got home I was get cash back from 2 apps on my phone. The first was Checkout51 where I earned $1.25 cash back. Best Foods mayo $1.00
Turkey-$0.25

The second was from Savingstar where I earned $1.00 cash back on Best Foods Mayo.  

So the mayo ended up costing my $0.99.  If I would have printed a coupon (no longer available) from coupons.com it would have brought the price down even more on the Best Foods Mayo.

Don't be like me and miss out on savings click on the link below and save on your broth. There are many other coupons available like Reynolds Foil, Campbell's Condensed Soup, Mezettas Olives, Ziploc Bags and more. 

Coffee cups or mugs are great for gifts. This could be for everyday gift or a great Valentines Day Gift.  It contains 2 hot cocoa mix packets and miniature marshmallow. The mug and ribbon coordinate with the hearts. Cute and simple. One of my favorites. 

Gift baskets are so much fun to make and I really enjoy making them.  These are gift baskets I have made.  They can be for several occasions- birthday, Christmas and more. All these gift baskets are made with reusable  containers. ​ I will have some available for sale soon. 

Wishing everyone a Happy & Prosperous 2016.  Happy New Year from Truly Thrifty!
