The Case Lot Sale

I am a bargain shopper. I love coupons, free things, and just getting more BANG for my buck. This week and next, a lot of stores in our area are having their semi-annual case lot sales. I love when they do this because it gives me an opportunity to try to load up on our family food storage. Well, last night as I was transferring some items into storage containers, an idea struck, and the boys were more than willing to take part.... Just take a look.

A 50lb bag of oats...


A 25lb bag of sugar...



And a 25lb bag of bread flour...



I think I got quite the bargain.


I was hoping to convince them that these would be great Halloween costumes~ unfortunately for me, they are stuck on the idea of being stuff like BATMAN, SPIDER MAN, SUPERMAN, DARTH VADER, and so on. Too bad too. This would've been way cheaper. Oh well...LOL

Those are the best costumes ever! I think you got a great bargin. It's to bad that they won't wear them for Halloween. . .they are very practical in today's world. I know Nathan wouldn't let me put him in a sack either. . he has plans to be a Knight for Halloween. I just got Cole's costume in the mail today since I had to order it. . he is going to be Yoda!
Thanks for sharing those cute pictures and please pass on any wonderful deals you know about.
Heart Hugs,
Carolyn
