Week 17
No huge deals this week. I still spent nearly all of my 60. I still did pretty well with my limit. Every time I think about all the years that I didn't shop like this, I get a little sick to my stomach. 8 years ago, we would have spent this at the store, and gotten just a little bit. I can't even imagine how much money I wasted. And I don't think I'll ever NOT shop like this. I am to the point where I don't like to buy anything at full price.
No pictures this week. It was so hot that by the time I got anything home, I wanted to get all the cold stuff put away as quickly as possible. I am looking forward to a good shopping week next week, since most stores will have good meat and fresh food specials because of the 4th.

Week 16
CVS
I hate when I can't find my receipts.
Trip 1 (estimated):
1 Schick razor 7.99
- 1 coupon x 4.00 = -4.00
= 3.99 (earned 3 ECBs)
2 Mrs Fields Cookies x 2.50 = 5.00
Some other things that I can't recall.
Out of pocket was about 8.50
Savings was about 5.00, and earned 3 ECBs.
Trip 2 (this was a good one):
1 milk x 1.99 = 1.99
- 1 coupon x 1.00 = -1.00
= 0.99
2 Venus Vibration razors x 1.19 = 2.38 (these razors run about 11 dollars at CVS, but I think they're being discontinued, so they were on the clearance table. I love the clearance table!)
- 2 coupons x 2.00 = -4.00
= -1.62 (YES- NEGATIVE! CVS gives overage on coupons that are worth more than the product. They get reimbursed for the full face value of the coupon. So, as long as you have some other stuff to use up the overage in your order, you get it!)
1 Schick razor x 7.99 = 7.99
- 1 coupon x 4.00 = -4.00
= 3.99 (earned 3 ECBs)
1 Crest pro-heath toothpaste x 2.99 = 2.99
- 1 coupon x 0.50 = -.50
= 2.50 (earned 2 ECBs)

- 1 CVS coupon for $5 off a $15 purchase
- 5 ECBs
Out of pocket = 0.77
Savings off retail(ready for this?) = 50.40
Trip 3:
I was curious. The store I frequent is a 24 hour store. I thought to myself, "Surely they don't start their new sales right at midnight... I wonder if they're activated early?" Well, they are. And since I saw the ad online... I knew that these awesome feminine products were going to be on sale for 4.99, down from like 11.00! That I had FOUR DOLLAR coupons for! Which would make them 99 CENTS! Now, I know that won't get all of you excited, but it did me.
This was a fabulous trip.
4 boxes Always Infinity x 4.99 = 19.96
- 4 coupons x 4.00 = -16.00
= 3.96
2 boxes Excedrin Migraine x 4.49 = 8.98
- 2 coupons x 2.00 = -4.00

Out of pocket = 1.15
Savings = 52.80!!!! And I got 4 ECBs back from the Excedrin.

We needed nothing this week. We had enough milk, cheese, eggs, bread, etc, to last all week. So, I was only going to buy the really good deals at the stores this week. SNS was the only store with a really good deal.
Bread .86
Popcorn 1.38 (I really should just accept that we eat a lot of popcorn and get a giant bag of it at Sams.)
SNS had a special going, where if you bought $25 in certain products that you would get a coupon for $10 off your next order. I had a lot of good coupons for these items, so why not... I did it.

Out of pocket = 20.67
Savings = 20.64, and I earned a $10 coupon towards my next purchase. Hooray!
Walgreens
I went into Walgreens this week to get a card for a lady at work. Walked around and looked for clearance items. They are usually still on the shelf, with an orange tag. I found some fabulous cough medicine thing that works great for the kids. It runs about 10 dollars, and it was marked down to 4.74. There was a $4 coupon on the box! So, I paid about 80 cents for something that is about 10.00.

CVS
CVS had an online-advertised sale for Pampers diapers for 8.99, with 5 ECBs back. That's an awesome deal! However... it wasn't the deal. Whoever made the graphic messed up. But, because CVS is awesome like that, they honored the deal, as long as you purchased the diapers before they pulled the online ad. So, I only got 1 pack. I wish I had gotten more, but I only bought 1 because I thought "surely, this deal is too good to be true!"
So, my only CVS trip this week:
2 gallons milk x 2.49 = 4.98
- 1 coupon for .55, and 1 coupon for 1.00 = -1.55

A lot of these were items that I got last week, and I am honestly tired of typing these out today. Good, special buys were:
Split chicken breasts for .89 a pound. I got about 9.25 pounds.
Bourbon marinated pork chops for .99 each. They had them on sample today, and they were so good! I got 4. That's why I am over my 60 for the week. Bah! Never stray from your list! I forget that when something sounds/looks/smells/tastes good.

Week 14
There weren't a whole lot of deals this week, and we didn't really need anything but milk and bread.
The only great deal was V8 Fusion juice for 1.88 at Shop n Save, with a limit of 3. Between trips there and price matching at Walmart, we got 7 of them.
7 juice x 1.88 = 13.16
That seems like a lot just for juice, but a serving of this juice has a whole serving of fruits AND a service of vegetables. It's the easiest way to get veggie goodness into my kids. At a regular price of about 3.25 (average), I don't buy it very often.
2 gallons of milk x 1.98 = 3.98
4 SNS yogurts x .34 = 1.36

The only great deal was V8 Fusion juice for 1.88 at Shop n Save, with a limit of 3. Between trips there and price matching at Walmart, we got 7 of them.
7 juice x 1.88 = 13.16
That seems like a lot just for juice, but a serving of this juice has a whole serving of fruits AND a service of vegetables. It's the easiest way to get veggie goodness into my kids. At a regular price of about 3.25 (average), I don't buy it very often.
