Disclaimer....this is still practice. I'm wanting to be proficient at blogging before my trip.
On of my favorite sayings is "success isn't measured by what we have, but by what we can live without"
For those who don't know me, I would describe myself as a frugal person. I don't spend a lot of time shopping and usually make a purchase as a buyer, not a shopper. I research what I need, find the best value and when I go to the store, I make a purchase (quick strike and get out with little or no damage) I very, very rarely buy things on impulse. I buy things for need instead of want; mainly because there isn't a lot I want and very little I need. I try to make purchases for quality instead of quantity. I don't buy the cheapest nor the most expensive and I don't shop at Wal Mart.
Recently I made two purchases which is a lot for me. Here is an example of what I do for me...
12 8 packs for only 20 dollars. on sale at save mart for 2 dollars each, plus I grabbed 4 packs that had a dollar coupon for every 3 8 packs.

Man, does Diet Dr. Pepper have crack in it or something? Cheers Teamster!!

Go in, get it, get out.

Strapping those 12-packs onto the bike for your roadtrip?
Money well spent I say. I suspect you'll need a small trailer to lug all that Dr P with you on the trip though.
Excellent distinction between a shopper and a buyer. I would say that I'm not quite a buyer, but I'm definitely NOT a shopper.
