But I know of thousands who did so with one small credit-card purchase at a time, over months or years. That tells me something. It's not the size of the event, but the fact that you repeat it often that adds up to something sig- nificant. The same is true of paying off debt or saving money, as today's readers can attest. A little at a time, over time, can become something significant. PRICE-MATCHING MAVEN. I look through the grocery and drug store ads each week, making a list of the sales I want to take advantage of. I don't want to waste time and gas to go to the individual stores, since Wal-Mart price-matches. I take a pad of Post-it(r) notes when I shop at Wal-Mart. When I find the items that match the sale circulars, I mark them with the sale price. That way, the person at the register can clearly see which items I want to have price-matched. -- Lori M., Vir- ginia GUILT-FREE SPREE. I shop on Amazon.com for books, and I've given myself a strict budget for shopping there. When I shop online, I fill my cart with treasures, ignoring my budget. Then, I walk away. Later, I come back and delete the ones I decided I don't need. I tell myself that I am free to purchase any- thing I want, so long as I don't go over my limit. I can have a shopping cart going for weeks, adding and deleting to my heart's content. This method allows me to control my spending and rein in my buying addic- tions while not depriving myself of fun. -- Sheila M., e-mail SWEET SUCCESS. I went to the store to get cinnamon sticks for my tea. I looked in the spice aisle and found regular and organic, .5 ounces for $2.99 and $5.99 respectively. I thought they might have less expensive cinnamon in the produce or organic foods sec- tion. I ended up finding a 9-ounce package of cinnamon sticks for $2.99 in the Mexican foods aisle. That's 18 times more product for the same price. What a deal! -- Judy B., Virginia GIFTED GROCERY-SHOP- PER. I use a credit card at the gro- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate cery store, but I found this easy way to stay within my budget: With my credit card, I purchase a grocery store gift card on the first of every month. I limit the amount on the gift card to my set grocery allowance for the month, minus about $50 to allow me to take advantage of sales at other stores. Each time I make a purchase, my receipt tells me how much is left on my gift card for the month. Sometimes, I have a little left over to use the next month, and some- times I have to stop shop- ping a few days early. But I always know how much is on my card. -- Patti W., e- mail Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O.
