So, I've always been a bargain shopper. I LOVE the thrill of a deal - and pretty much refuse to pay full price for anything. I thought it would be fun to see how much can be bought at a discount - and decided to start a little experiment in cost conscious consumption. Starting today until December 31, 2012, my goal is to pay less than retail for EVERYTHING!!!
I think some aspects will be easy - like grocery shopping - I always use coupons so that won't be much different. However, does this mean all items I buy have to have a coupon? Or does it just have to be on sale/discount and not full price? I'll figure that out as we go along.
I think the harder items will be things like fuel, services and restaurants. My all time fav restaurant NEVER has coupons or discounts - so figuring out how to still eat there and NOT pay full price will be a challenge.
Also - I'm limiting this to "new" items only. While great deals can be found at thrift shops, I'm more curious to see what I can accomplish through couponing, discount sites and maybe a little bartering! :-)
I'll post my successes and (hopefully!) limited failures as I go along. Feel free to play along too!
Happy consuming!
