Money Saving Monday

I have so many things to share, however my time is very short so I will have upload photos of Christmas later. For right now, I had to share my store experiences this week.

CVS
Here's what I got
1 Tide 28-32 loads
1Quattro Tour razor for women
2 bottles of Nature's Bounty zinc (BOGO)
2 Dawn Ultra (BOGO)
3 Johnson's suddies soap for Nicole
3 bags of hershey's Christmas chocolate
2 Colgate Total
2 Natur's Bounty Vitamin D (BOGO)
4 mint listerines (raincheck)

Merchandise total $67.03
Coupons $46.45
ECB used $18.98
ECB earned $15
Total OOP $1.60

Yeah..I know...pretty cool, huh? I took my mom and she did a couple of transactions. She spent all of her ecb, but she got some laundry detergent, napkins and other items that didn't have ecb. So, she did pretty well.

Publix
Today was a big trip for me. We were out of so many staple items that haven't been onsale recently. Isn't it funny that I've been so spoiled that I am dissapointed now that I have hit my budget for this week instead of being $40 under? I spent about $100 after using close to $50 in coupons and sales.

Michele, it was fun this morning, I learned a little, but can't wait to learn more, so I can teach my mom. You are doing such a wonderful job at saving money and being a coupon cutter, it is well worth the time that you put into it. Good Job, and I know Jeremy really appreciates all the savings also. YIPPEE!! FYI everyone, the girls working at CVS this morning are very impressed by Michele's organization of her coupons, it is quite impressive!! Hugs, mom

Woo hoo! Great updates. Thanks for the motivation to keep it going on our end. I need to keep better track. Next time I come over I'd like to see what you do on the computer if that's all right. Can't wait to see you!
