My Deals This Week

I have been so busy these past few weeks, I haven't done much coupon shopping lately up until today. I have to say...."I definitely missed it!" I love coupon shopping, especially when I get products we use either free or almost free. I love seeing what my totals come to after all my coupons & savings. It's such a great feeling knowing how much money I am saving for my family, especially knowing I would buy most of these products with or without coupons anyway.

My Walmart Trip:

I ONLY spent $2.11 w/ tax for all these items after coupons.

Cetaphil-$5.47 (I had 4-$5.00 off coupons) so I only paid .47 each

Wardley Fish Food-$1.51 (I had 4-$2.00 off coupons) so I got them for FREE, plus I got back .49 towards my purchase.

My Target Trip:

I only spent a total of $9.58 for all these items......Awesome huh?

*Johnson's Soap Buddy Bar-.99 each- I had a $1.00 off coupon for any Johnson & Johnson Bath products and I stacked it with a $2.50 off Catalina coupon I received back from Target during one of my previous purchases, therefore making all 3 free plus .50 overage I got put towards my bill.

*Softsoap Ensemble Refill Soap-$2.49 each (They had $2.00 off peelie coupons on each bottle making them only .49 each. I got a total of 8. We will be playing outside all summer so we will be doing lots of hand washing, so I thought I might as well stock up for this price! :)

*Dial Hand Soap-$1.37 each-I had (4) $1.00 off Target coupons and I stacked them with (4) .35 cents off mfg. coupons making them only .02 each after coupons.

*Magnetix-$2.48 each. These were originally priced at $9.99 and they got marked down to only $2.48. I ended up buying two different kinds and I thought I would hold on to them for gifts in the future. You never know when a special occasion arises!

As you can see, taking a little extra time clipping coupons can definitely make your dollar stretch a lot farther!

Save $1.00 on Duct Brand Packaging Tape

Go here to print $1.00 off coupon good for any Duck® brand Packaging Tape. Walmart has them priced anywhere between $1.08-$1.58. You should be able to score a pretty good deal, if not getting it close to free!

My Shopping Trip to Walmart

My goal I set for myself this year is to try and cut our grocery bill by at least 50% or more! Well, I'm excited to tell you that I have done a pretty good job of doing it so far or coming pretty close. Yes, it does take a little more time trying to find specific coupons for each item that I have on my shopping list, but it is totally worth it. I can't wait to see how much money I have saved at the end of this month. I will tally it all up to let you know what my savings percentage will be and post it next week. :)


Here is the breakdown of what I got:

Clear Plastic Container- $3.50 (no coupon)
(2) Wet Ones Wipes- .64 each after coupon
Pull-Ups-$5.97 after my $3.00 off coupon
(2) Packs of Ivory Soap- $.07 each after my coupons
(4) Boxes of Chicken in a Biskit- $1.00 each after my coupons
Salmon $3.50 (no coupon)
Turkey Sausage $1.58 (no coupon)
Steam Fresh Package of Corn- FREE after my coupon
3 Reach Dental Floss- FREE + $2.00 overage
Dr. Pepper- $1.48 (no coupon)

My total originally came to $37.66, but after my coupon savings, I only spent $21.25 w/ tax. I saved 46% tonight. Yay for me!!! :)
