How to Save Money by Spending Smart

Valentine Candy in Disguise

I tried something new and impressed myself. How about that! I thought maybe you would like to try it. I am going to a ladies get together and I wanted to bring a treat of some kind, but money is short. What could I do? Then it came to me. Valentines day has past, I went to CVS and Walgreens, they both had candy for 75% off. I bought a 16oz Russell Stover heart box of chocolates and 2 beautiful oranges. I made a flower of one orange, put 1 round chocolate in the middle to make a “flower”. Then various chocolates all around and orange sections for a border. I used 5-6 inch round doilies to dress it up underneath.

Here’s how it broke down:

$9.99 Russell Stover Chocolates at 75% off   $2.50
2 beautiful oranges (40 cents each)   $0.80
Doilies I bought at the dollar store at 24 for $1.00   $0.21

Total   $3.51

If you do this, I promise I won’t tell if you don’t tell!
