The Saver Spot

I am Renata. I use my first name because this is a hobby and I do not want it attached to my work life. That is the whole reason, and I would rather say it than let people guess at something more interesting.

The site is one post a week. I write it on Sunday evening from the receipts and the notebook, and post it Monday morning. When I miss a week, it stays missed — there is a gap in the archive from this spring for exactly that reason.

Where the numbers come from

Two shops, four miles apart, in central Ohio: a regional chain and a discount grocer. Everything in the price book is a price I saw on a shelf or paid at a till, dated. I do not aggregate circular data from other regions and I do not republish other people’s deal lists.

What this site is not

• Not a coupon feed. Coupons expire faster than I post.
• Not a frugality philosophy. I am not going to tell you to give up coffee.
• Not sponsored. No affiliate links, no samples, no arrangement with any shop. If a shop ever gave me anything I would say so in the post it affected, at the top.
• Not advice about money generally. Groceries and household goods, and that is the extent of what I know about.

Why there is no newsletter

Because I would then have a list of addresses to look after, and I do not want one. The site posts on the same day every week; that is as much of a reminder as I can offer.

Corrections

When I get a price wrong I fix it in the roundup and note the change in the next week’s post, as with the apples in 08/24/2026. The price book carries its own correction log at the bottom.
