Thrifty Thursday Party

So, today's the party!  The purpose is to share money saving tips and ideas with others...a great sale at a major chain store, an economical recipe, a household tip for turning straw into gold...you know, stuff like that.

Now that I'm thinking about it, mine may not be all that exciting.  But who knows, we were pretty stoked about it, so maybe we're not the only ones.

Craig and the kids like to use Breathe Right nasal strips when they have a cold.  More recently, though, Craig has discovered that he likes to use one every night; he has a deviated septum, and it helps him breathe more freely during the night.  Walmart sells them for about $5 for a pack of 12, or about $10 for a pack of 30.

Last week I was at Dollar Tree, and they had packs of 12 genuine Breathe Right strips for, yup, $1!  That's a significant savings.  I bought them out of Craig's size (he, um, needs large) and got several of the small to medium for the rest of us to use for colds.  If you use these on a regular basis, or even just for the occasional stuffy nose, it's worth checking your local DT

Time to link up.  I know I didn't give much advance notice, but I hope there's a few of you out there who would like to join.
