Welcome to Owl In A Day's Work! Thursdays are going to be all about my latest Thrifty find! There is something amazing about getting a really good deal. Does it give you the tingles? Cause it does me! And I want to SHOUT from the rooftops and let everyone know!

Have you seen Extreme Couponing? Or perhaps you are a coupon queen yourself? ... Well I have tried and let me just say I do NOT have the patience. Isn't that horrible?! But let me tell you the next best thing to coupons and it takes no preparation, and no time commitment, and really its so much more exciting I swear. It's called the Dollar Store. I generally shop at DollarTree. Everything is $1 Dollar or less! They get really good promotional things in people, I should know as I used to work there for FOUR years! and even as an employee I would be amazed at some of the bargains they got in. The trick to DollarTree finds is that once things are gone they are gone. . . and good bargains go QUICK. So its best to know your stores local delivery date. This takes little or no time to figure out. The next day your there just ask your clerk what day there shipments come in. They get a weekly shipment and my stores shipment is on FRIDAYS. Meaning SATURDAY is a really great day to shop there. Ok, Ok, OK! Enough BLAB.. this is what I found last saturday.

Yes, CORN CHEX. I grew up on this cereal so I was so excited but if you are not a huge fan you could use it to make muddy buddys or chex mix for the coming up SUPERBOWL! This was a FULL SIZE box, not just a small promotional box all for $1! This retails for $3-4 at the grocery store! Thats just as good as a $2 dollar off coupon. WHOOP WHOOP and all I had to do was show up : D . Well happy hunting!
