Always check the closeout / clearance / manager special sections of your favorite grocery / department stores. Obviously, you can't count on this as part of your budgeted efforts, but, today, I found it significantly impacted how I felt. There was a bunch of stuff that I like to have, but can't always get (due to costs/budgets for the month) at super deep discounts. I was able to get top shelf lip stuff for less than generic price - a candy treat I would never pay even half of the full price for - hair conditioning stuff that works wonders on my hair. Sometimes it's about being able to treat yourself that makes the difference in whether you can keep trudging on or give in to failure. Overall, I spent a little over $6 for close to $25 worth of stuff. I feel like I won today!
