When I grocery shop, I pull up three stores locally and compare prices (same items) to find the best deals.

When I shop for furniture, I use various search engines to alert me to price drops. I need a new office chair badly, but I have a budget, so I watch price history too.

We go to farmer's markets when we can. We are about to start dehydrating a bunch of apples. I want to can some apple barbecue sauce.

IT takes clever maneuvering, and even then I can't make the dollar stretch nearly as far
