Ralphs 6-25-12

I can't tell you how many times people say "it is so expensive to shop at Ralphs" ... But time and time again I seem to prove that it's not really true ... I consistently save 50% or more just about every time I go ... And using the method I teach you would be surprised at how little time it really takes!

I would have saved a little more ... but I forgot to use a gift card I got from a previous shopping trip when my balance was over ... I'll just save it for next time.

During this trip I used to $5 coupon off of $75 purchase found in the entertainment book ... and I also used a $20 Gift Certificate sent when I received my Ralphs credit card ... I got the credit card because of the $20 gift certificate and because you also get more points with purchases ... since my spending is minimal I plan to use it like cash ... just pay it off prior to acquiring any finance charges and enjoy the benefits.

Gotta love CVS ... I can't believe I used to walk into CVS ... pick something off the shelf ... pay full price for it ... (unless there there was an off chance the item was on sale) ... and leave ... WHAT WAS I THINKING ! ... No CVS Card ... No Extra Bucks ... No stops to the magic machine ... All that money I could of saved ... Now my eyes are wide open and I'm a saving maniac! With CVS ...  there is a learning ... It took me about a month to really get it ... Reading about how to shop at CVS is one thing ... but I learn by doing ... Now It's easy and fun!

I usually don't shop at other grocery stores ... mostly because my Ralphs is super convenient and I know it really well ... but sometimes I venture out for a good deal!
