Jennie also grades her Match-Up deals. I don't know if she tracks things on a seriously awesome spreadsheet or what, but, we know that when we see something graded as an "A", it's time to swoop because the price isn't going to get much better.
I'm a sucker for a grand spreadsheet (it's genetic, got it from me mumzie) so I imagine this supreme savings spreadsheet out there in the universe and I'm happy.
Jennie, please don't burst my spreadsheet bubble if that's not how you track the prices. Just let me keep with my illusion please and thanks :)
