Saved 83% This Week

I received several rebate checks this week. I don't account for until I get them back - just in case I forget to send them in. I had several more rebate forms sitting on my desk. Receiving the checks inspired me to dig through my receipts and get them sent in.

Schnucks

I shopped at the Twin Oaks store because they match Shop 'n Saves $10 off $50 Thursday. I know it cost me gas money for the 40 mile round trip, but I still come out some ahead. I made the trip to the Twin Oaks store, not only to save money, but to make my consumer statement. If Schnucks offers a deal at one store in the area, they should offer it at every store. I'll play their game to make my point.
