We just did our typical Thanksgiving dinner shopping this morning. The grocery we typically shop at has a customer rewards program where you earn a small amount on each purchase. We never redeem our rewards until Thanksgiving. This year we had a little over $125.00. So, our big spend for the holiday shopping and some weekly stuff only cost us $23.00. The only thing we didn't get was a turkey. The grocery wanted $3.49 a pound for a fresh turkey and Costco had them for .99 a pound.

The grocery rewards program is nice, but it's just a little rebate for overcharging you the rest of the year
