Post-Halloween Hangover

Any good couponer knows when to hit the stores - the day after any holiday, right? Now, many times I will wait until the stuff is 75% off, but with Halloween you gotta hit the stores the day after, when it's just 50% off, in order to get anything good! I went shopping today and got an alarming amount of candy. I cringe at the amount of money I blew today, but I also know it's going to a good cause. Hah! We rarely buy candy or eat any kind of dessert foods, so I don't feel too guilty about my little escapade!! Remember, I have 20% everyday discount at Rite Aid, so that's why my numbers might not match what you see in store.
