Walgreens Deal


Walgreens

My best trip ever at Walgreens. I'm not a lover of Walgreens but it is kind of growing on me a little bit. It is helping me work on my patients for sure.

Anyway here are the numbers.

I spent out of pocket $4.73 out of pocket on all these items...HOWEVER....I got $9 worth of register rewards to use next time I go....so basically they paid me $4.27 for these items.

So very cool!! The major bonus was I got a $5 RR for the candles that I didn't know I was getting so here I thought I did good and turns out It was a bonus day for me!

Walgreens is a tricky store to coupon at but once you figure out the tricks it's not so bad. However once you get the swing of it you can get some good deals.

New Year!!

Happy New Year!!

I can't wait to see what kind of savings I can get this year.

I'll keep posting my great finds! However I'm not going to be taking to the extra time to total up my monthly savings. It was taking me too much time to do all that and as I'm staying under my budget every month and still have a ton of food I know I'm doing great!

And yes....for those of you that know me....that means one less Spreadsheet that I have going. Sad moment I know but the craziness of life with three kids is making me very busy!!

Hope everyone had a great new year!

Giving Back to Others

I love this Thanksgiving / Christmas time of year!! Being able to give to others seems to be the focus of this time of year. As I try to give to others year round I have noticed a change this year in my own life.

God has blessed me in so many ways with Grocery Smarts and one of those ways is I am able to donate more this season.

There is a Military Family on our base that had a house fire this week. Typically when things like this come up my family doesn't have the money or extra food to donate because we were living so pay check to pay check that there wasn't room to do what in my heart I wanted to help other families. Not this year!!! I'm going to be able to go to my pantry and collect a few bags of food for this family in need and still have more than enough food for my family!!

God's blessing keep coming and sometimes he blesses me and my family by allowing us to be able to bless others!!

Have a blessed week and take a few moments to bless someone in your life this week!!
