So, I just decided to change the name of my sometimes-Friday posts from Bargain Friday to Frugal Friday. I like the sound of it better - plus now it can be all things frugal, not just bargains!
I've missed a few bargains here and there that I forgot to post about but I recently ran across some receipts for a few I wanted to go back and share.
Dakota needed "business casual" clothing for a couple of her trips this summer and since her normal wardrobe consists of "always casual" clothing, we had to go shopping. Now, normally, we only buy things that are on a clearance rack of some sort, but I had to give in a little since we were looking for specific items of clothing. However, I still refused to pay full price for anything. So, everything we bought was on sale - even if it wasn't clearance. On this particular trip (to JC Penney) we bought 2 pair of dress slacks, 1 skirt, and 4 tops for a grand total of $116.13. I know, I almost had a heart attack, too; however, that averages out to $16.59 per item. Then when I looked at the receipt we had saved $131.47!!! Nice trip.
I saved $15.50 just in coupons at Walmart a while back. I haven't been there much lately. They are on my naughty list at the moment.
A trip to Kohl's a few months ago for some housewarming presents and specific pants that Drake and I both had to have for a function totaled $69.31 out of pocket with a savings of $63.15. The pants that Drake and I both had to have rang up at a discounted price at the register!! That was an added bonus b/c I had already reluctantly decided to buy them even though they weren't on sale. Bonus for me. Smile!

Don't forget to share your frugal Friday posts or just your great deals of the week! I love hearing other people's stories, too!

Those are great deals. I know what you are saying if you look at how many pieces of clothing you got for that price, is does help.
Do you have a Kohl's credit card.
I've always debated about that. I know they give great bonus stuff on it, but I'm reluctant to carry one more cc.
