Walmart

Yes I broke down and went to Walmart today. I did get to go with no kids so that was a bonus!

My camera is still waiting for a new battery charger to arrive so I'm sorry I don't have any pictures. This would have been an awesome one to see!!

Here is what I got:

1 - 24 ct ~ Advil ~ $3.48 - ($3.48 c) = FREE
used a coupon I received in the mail for a free bottle that I had applied for a few weeks ago.

5 - 11oz ~ Gain Dish Soap $.97 each - (1.00 c) = ($.03) Money Maker!!!
used $1/1 coupon from the 10/10 PG

2 - boxes ~ Instant Quaker Oatmeal (individual packets) $2.66 - ($2.00 c) = $.66 each
used $2.00 coupon printed from Here
May be cheaper at the Commissary but I was already at Walmart and I didn't think $.66
was a bad price. One of those is it worth your Gas to go to the other store kind of buys.

4 - 24oz ~ Propel $1.00 - (BOGO) = $.50 each
used a Buy One Get One Free coupon I printed online about a week ago

2 - Tick Tac's - $.94 - ($1.00 c) = ($.06) Money Maker!!
used a $1/1 coupon I printed off the internet last month
(These are a good stocking stuffer!!)

Here is the Candy Finds I was able to score.

Skittles Fun Sizes 2/$4 - had $1 off 2 Coupon printed off internet so final Price $1.50 each bag

Starburst Fun Sizes 2/$4 - had $1 off 2 Coupon printed off internet so final Price $1.50 each bag

Funsize Twix, Snickers, M&M's, 2 Musketeers - 2/$5 - had $1.50 off 3 coupon from the paper....I'm sorry I can't remember which one they came in. Final Price $2.00 each bag!!

Total Shopping trip:
Cost : $49.03
Coupons : $22.48
Spent : $26.55 46% Savings!!

And to think I got all our Halloween Candy, and all those other items all for $26.55!! Not bad!!

Mail Box Check

I Love getting FREE stuff in the mail!

I like to hang onto the Laundry soap samples for when we travel. Since I make my own laundry soap for at home it's easier to transport the travel sizes.

They are also nice for gift baskets and donations for those in need.

Or for when a friend posts "I ran out of Laundry Soap and it's three days to pay day" on their Facebook Status!!

You'd be surprised how much you can bless other with some of the item's you get for FREE!!

Commissary 10-6

Huge Savings trip at the Commissary today!! Had to take two pictures!

Cost $109.46
Coupon Savings $42.00
Paid $67.46
38% Savings

I purchased 53 items if you average it out I paid about $1.27 per item. Not bad! Because of the way the receipt is I'm not going to match up what each item cost. Usually I write it down as I put it into my cart but I forgot to do that this time and at the Commissary it doesn't say what coupon is what on the receipt.

The Frozen Fish was the most expensive items I purchased. I actually had coupons for all but a few of these items and the Cream Cheese was FREE!!!

Oh how I Love Coupons!!

Ziploc bags - Walmart

Ziploc sandwich bags were on roll back at my Walmart in Wichita Falls, Texas today. Marked down from $2.67 to $2.00.

Cost: $5.34 before roll back
Roll Back : $1.34
Coupon: $1.25 off two
Paid : $2.75 - $1.38 each
49% Savings

Keep in mind quantity when purchasing sale items like these. I had enough coupons to purchase 10 boxes however, my family would take forever to use up 10 boxes of lunch baggies. On items like this I try to use the 12 week rule. I stock up on what I think we will use in 12 weeks and usually by the time I am getting low there will be another coupon and another good deal on that item. Just a way to keep your monthly out of pocket cost low yet stock up when there is a sale on an item. :-)

Kraft Cheese

Thanks to my wonderful friend Amy in Las Vegas I was able to score amazing deals on some Kraft Products at the Commissary. She had a $5 off 5 Kraft Cheese items coupon that she mailed to me. Link to coupon Here after you print the first hit the back button and it should print a second one.

I love being able to pass on coupons to friends! Make sure you pass on coupons if you aren't going to use them and you think someone you know would.

Cost : $9.08
Coupons : $5.00
Paid : $4.08
55% Savings

Mozzarella Cheese - $.79 each
String Cheese - $1.50
Cream Cheese - $.50 each

I will be heading back for more next week!
