And THIS is why I read Money Saving Mom.

I found most of my deals at Money Saving Mom this week. I think that from this day forth I will only shop on Thursday mornings. It's amazing how empty the stores were! My local Lifetime Fitness has two parent's time out mornings and afternoons every week. That's 3 hours of childcare for only $5. I used it today and, due to the lack of other customers, was able to make it to every stop on my list in the allotted time: the post office, library, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, and Cub Foods! These are the deals I found:
