Old, retired with lots of time on my hands, so I shop for deals and sales. Shop at least 4 or 5 different stores. Each has its own best prices on certain items I consume. I buy more and stock up when it’s on sale. I’ve made it a hobby.
Just bought a manufactured home in a nice community. Has 1,340 sq/ft. My current home is only 950 but on 2 acres that I’m tired of keeping up with. Will have cash to enjoy some travel with when I sell the house. Will be way closer to grand and great grand kids. That’s a big deal for us now.
