My bargain for the month with a goal - what's yours?  

Glad you got so much for your money I went to visit my son on his birthday. We had a nice lunch which cost me nothing because I had vouchers from a survey site. We went to the cinema and got the tickets at a discount because the film started before 4pm. on the way we had called at a nearby supermarket and bought 2 cheese rolls, 2 cinnamon and sultana bagels, 2 chocolate sundaes and a bottle of water for less than the price of one large Coke at the cinema. He was after a PS2 game which we found 'pre-owned' at a good price... so, had a great day out and a gift! No goal other than my usual one of getting a good deal

My biggest goal in bargain shopping is usually to find functional stuff to help organize STUFF, which proliferates if left unmanaged. So OfficeMax had these cute little acrylic cubes with pull out drawers and they stack, and even have a little clip to hold them together in a unit sor of mix and match. So after much deliberation I had bought one at regular price just to try out and it was lovely.

Well! Yesterday we went to OfficeMax just to look around and see what might be on sale and there were 7 of them all dusty in the scratch-n-dent markdown shelf. Not scratched or anything, just dusty. So I put all 7 in the cart but although each was clearly marked $3.80, they all rang up at $15.95 each. Wrong! The manager straightened it all out nicely after a while, though, and after all was said and done we considered it a good bit of shopping.
