Thick rolls of wrapping paper for $0.34 instead of $3.49.
Bows … click here to continue reading Target 90% Off – The Countdown Begins

Now I know this isn’t a cooking blog, but here’s how it fits in with personal finance and frugality:
I used ingredients I had in the house, instead of wasting time and money driving to a store (the nearest city that might have open stores is 22 miles away!)
