Looking for a great wine at a great price?

Go to the Grocery Outletware on River road in Eugene!
They have a wine guru"  there named Andy who used to work in Seattle in a very fancy wine shop. He is knowledgeable, very nice and happy to help. The prices are great but the true quest for the frugal wine shopper is the best quality for the best price. Andy knows his trade and can help you find the perfect wine for any occasion for the perfect price. Right now we are testing a variety of Merlots with the assistance of Andy. You can also ask to be put on Andy's mailing list and receive a newsletter with all the latest news in the wine department.
When you find one that you like, rush back because some wines are in short supply. We ended up buying a whole case of one that we enjoyed at a price under $5. The original price per bottle was $15.
Grocery Outlet has tons of other great deals for the frugal shopper. Many luxury items like fancy cheeses, crackers and frozen dishes. Dairy products, vegetables, fruit and nuts are plentyful, fresh and affordable. A fun place to shop and also, they have a drawing every week. You can win  the amount that you ended up saving at the cash register. Enjoy your shopping.

Hunting for treasures....

...and Goodwill is one of the greatest places to find them. My husband and I probably spend too much time roaming the isles of the second hand stores in Eugene and Junction city but to find the best stuff you have to have patience and use creativity. Building supplies, light bulbs, electronics, kitchen tools.....

Our french doors and some of our windows in our house was found at Goodwill! 

The trick is to not buy stuff just because it's there...and that it might come in handy... sometime in the future.

And also, to donate stuff that you don't want any more back to the store!!!! 

I guess we keep the circle going. Donate-buy-donate back....Good for the environment (re-use,recycle) and for the Goodwill organization and people who work there.

However, look out for high prices! Some stores seem to think their "stuff" is worth  more than when it was new.

They should remember- it was DONATED in the first place.

Give us frugal people a great price and we'll keep coming back for more treasures...
