Free Friday- January 3


  
2020 is here!    What are your saving goals for the year?   Do you want to trim your grocery
budget?    
Well, with a slow and steady attitude you can do so in a strategic manner that will help you
to stock up on staples and not go overboard.     This post will focus on items that you can
pick up for free or under $2.00.  
NOTE- Don’t forget to cash in your rebate apps (IBOTTA, My Points, Saving Star, Checkout
51, etc.).   This is my very own little saving program.
