Call me cheapskate (which is true), call me practical (which is also true) but I love to get items that are given at discounted price. Of course, not all those items on sale or in the buy-one take-one area needs to be purchased just because its discounted. Discretion should still be practiced. If we have something like grocery discount coupons or Coupon Money then I would be a happy shopper. This is probably the way to go because everything else that we need to purchase have prices that are now higher. Its is not just here in the Philippines that this is happening, it is a worldwide trend.

What used to be the grocery budget has cut down the purchasing power. What used to be the usual items being bought are also cut down. Trips are also planned carefully so that gas is not wasted. More home-cooked meals. No more junk food like chips and soda drinks. I feel like this is a mantra, saying these things over and over again. But i don’t mind if it makes us save some, I will keep on reminding myself these things.

What have you been doing to cut down your expenses?
