Bring a calculator to the store... it helps


Are you like me and am always wondering when I buy things in bulk if I am getting a deal? It drives me crazy, because often stores trick you in the math. Just the other day, I was shopping at one of the big box stores and thinking I was getting a legendary deal. After I had already brought it home, I realize that I had spend like 10 cent per item more. Now, I admit that isn't a huge amount of money, but when you are trying to cut extra costs, it adds up.

So either bring your little help or do a little quick math in your help, don't just buy the supposed deal at the store. Not that I think that the stores are purposely trying to trick us but they are there to make a profit so you need to watch out.
