I swear that we do not go shopping every day. Like, this week, I did the first 3 "trips" during naptime on Sunday afternoon. It got me out of the house without kids, and doing something productive. The 4th trip- Meijer- was Doug and Phillip getting out Sunday after naptime, to run around before we killed him for running around like a crazy person in the house again (Phillip, of course, not Doug).

Trip 1 - Walgreens
Transaction 1
Colgate toothpaste 3.49
3.52 out of pocket, earned 3.49 in Register Rewards, good towards next purchase.
Transaction 2
4 Oust air and surface sanitizers x 2.99 = 11.96
- 3 coupons x 2.00 each = -6.00 (I had another $2 coupon that they wouldn't take, because I would have had more coupons than I had items, when you counted the Register Reward. Oh well!)
- 3.49 register reward I earned = -3.49
= 2.46 = tax = 3.39 out of pocket, saved 13.50.
So, for 6.91, I got 4 Oust and a toohpaste. PLUS- the Oust is good for 1.00 rebate each. I'll get $4 back next month.
CVS

Transaction 1
1 CVS brand diapers 10.00
1 Shaving lotion 3.49
1 Easter basket (I actually had two and just realized in looking at my receipt that they only rang one of them up.)
- $3 off $15 purchase they emailed me
- 10.50 ECBs
= 2.13 out of pocket, 17.49 saved, according to the receipt
Earned 1.99 ECB for the basket, and 3.49 for the shave lotion
Transaction 2
1 CVS brand diapers 10.00
1 Huggies wipes 5.00
- 1 coupon x 0.75 for the wipes = -0.75
- 8.97 ECBs
= 5.75 out of pocket, saved 16.20 according to the receipt.
Earned 10.00 ECBs for the $25 I spend on "selected baby products." Yay! Cheap diapers that give ECBs! You can't beat that.
So, overall for CVS last week, I spent 7.88 out of pocket, saved 33.69 and got 10 ECBs back.
Aldi

Ah, Aldi, my old stand-by.
Spent 14.30
Best deals were some yogurt that was close to its date marked down to 0.50 for 4 cus, and butter at 1.40 a pound. Everything else was their standard price.
Meijer
Needed coffee for work....
2 coffee x 5.49 = 10.98
1 sugar x 1.98
- free sugar if you bought 2 coffees
some cookies Phillip picked out 1.69
Total out of pocket 12.87, saved 3.83 according to receipt.
Random trip for milk and bread and Easter candy to fill the aforementioned CVS baskets, and I can't find the receipt. I know it was roughly 15.00, no savings.
Weekly spending total: 56.79
Weekly savings total: 51.02
YTD spending total: 293.88
YTD savings total: 383.06
