FRUGAL LIVING IN COLUMBUS,OHIO Frugal living is a lifestyle that involves careful planning and spending as well as avoiding waste. It's not about being cheap; it's really about being practical and making the most of available resources through various methods of saving money, reusing existing items instead of buying new ones, and finding bargains and good deals. The premise is that a person shouldn't pay more for something if he or she doesn't have to.

KROGER & HALLMARK SHOPPING
I love doing after Holidays shopping. No I don't mean running out after Christmas
and scooping up those great deals. I mean shopping for those discounts after Thanksgiving and all the other smaller holidays.
I stopped by Kroger to see if they had any after Thanksgiving mark downs.
I found:
Kroger Whipped Topping .50 cents each
Kroger Deep Dish Pie Shells, 2 pack .50 cents each
1/2 gallons of Kroger Orange Juice .50 cents each
I also stopped by Hallmark. I have coupons for $5.00 off a $5.00 or more purchase.
These coupons can be found in December's issues of Taste Of Home, Country Living, Oprah, Woman's Day and Family Circle.
Limit one coupon per transaction. I brought mom along so I could use a second coupon. I still have 2 more coupons to use but will have to make another trip.
I ended up getting 8 packs of tart melts for my electric potpourri dish.
Each package has 6 tarts in them.
They were originally $2.50 each x's 8 is $20.00
I found them in the markdown section for $1.50 each x's 8 is $12.00
Now deduct my two $5.00 coupons. Made them $2.00 for 8 packages or
.25 cents each.
A total savings of $18 off the original price!!
