The end of summer means great bargains. If you haven't checked out Wise Buy$, I highly recommend it. Wise Buy$ is a cross between Big Lots and the 99 Cents/Dollar Tree stores. I've found some great bargains. Wise Buy$ is a discount store that sells food/grocery items, household items, books, clothing, etc.
A few tips when shopping at discount/bargain stores: always check the expiration dates on food items (especially dairy products and beverages). Buy in bulk - for example, today they had a bargain on Brawny paper towels. Brand names can get pricey so take advantage of special deals.
Let's check out my "wise" buys for today. For $15.28 (including tax and CRV) I bought the following items. I got a few "2-for-1" deals which always makes bargain hunting fun!
