i love the power of comparison shopping which is a huge part of the reason i get the sunday paper. this week, when abby told me she wanted to buy the play kitchen with her money, i started surfing the web. google and epinions.com are two of my favorites for bargaining. once i found the lowest price (shipping included), i called our local toy store and told them that i would much rather give them the business than some random internet store. would they be able to match the price? the answer was YES. not only could they match it, they beat it. as much as i love internet shopping, there is something good about having a store to go back to if you have issues.
so, there's the tip. shop around, and don't be afraid to ask for a lower price!
what's your thrifty thursday tip?

Well, we've started hitting the free summer kids' movies nearby. Admission is free for everyone and popcorn or drinks are only $1. It's cheap, and I don't feel self conscious bringing kids into the movie, because everyone else is doing the same.
Brusters has half-price banana splits on Thursdays if you bring your own banana! That is a lot of ice cream and goodies for $2.75. :)
