HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! The good deal for today was - my husband did the grocery shopping at Kroger. He used his credit card (saving hotel points) to purchase a $300 Kroger giftcard - which they gave him an additional $30 (10%) on - their current "economic stimulus" program. Then he used the gift card to pay for our groceries - that card should last us a while. He used our credit card - but we pay the full balance off every month - so, it was nice to be able to get some points toward a free hotel room in the process. Although many companies are running marketing campaigns to separate people from their stimulus checks, this was a nice one for us, because we haven't gotten one (yet) - but groceries is a "need" for us, so we would have had to buy them regardless - so, it was a nice savings for us.
