Hey guys! Today was fabulous. My class was cancelled so I was able to make my trip to Target to make some progress on my $40 Challenge.
One thing I want to make clear is that this effort to get items to donate is not my typical process of saving money. Normally, I pay pennies for certain items that I need. In this case, I am simply finding the best current prices of Thanksgiving food items and using a coupon if there happens to be one. For this reason, my spendings are a bit higher than usual but for a very good cause. And in all honestly, I had a smile on my face the entire shopping trip. I was so thrilled to be able to give to those in need and to be able to do it for a lower price than many people may think! So here are the results of my trip. What I want to show you guys is the sale price of the item, the price of the item regularly, and if there were any coupons on the items I purchased. Hopefully with all of this information, you guys will be able to repeat my trips and donate things yourself!
