Target

I'm not a very good Target coupon girl but today I did pretty good

Cost : $78.08
Saved : $47.10
Spent : $30.99
60% savings isn't bad.

We don't have a couple of the card games but the extra's I will stash in my closet for unexpected birthday parties or for possible gift baskets. Same with the ponies.

The My Little Pony's were buy one get one free with the coupon I had.
The card games were all about $1.25 after coupons.
The soap was $1.50 each for the foam soap and $1.25 for the Dawn dish soap. (I love the foam soap to clean my stove top and I have been out for some time just waiting for a good deal!! They are $2.25 without the coupon so that still is a good deal!)

Albertsons Savings

So it looks like a big trip.....had to take three pictures to fit it all in.

Cost : $145.83
Savings : $68.81
Spent : $77.02

A few of the good items:
Air Wick Spray - $.50 each (I use these in gift baskets so I stocked up)
Wheat Thins - $1.29 each
Cereal - range from $.88 to $1.38 a box (i had different coupons ranging from $.50 to $1 off each)
Tortilla Shells - $.99 each
Tyson Chicken - two were $4 and the others were $6 (not overly great deals but I needed more quick foods in my freezer for dinners)
Pistachios - $2.50 (I think my husband likes these so I picked them up as a treat)

I'm trying to work on getting my overall stock pile up on all items.

We were blessed to be able to pay off all our credit card debt with our tax return this year!!! We are now working on getting our full Emergency fund in place. My goal is to keep enough stock pile that if anything did happen we would be good for a few months. other than bread, milk and such.

I hope everyone is having a great week and I'd love to hear about your savings.

Albertsons - Fruit Snacks

ok so first I want to clarify.....We only buy fruit snacks if they are on sale or a good deal and I use them for after school snacks and I usually keep a few in my purse for emergency need to keep the kids quiet kind of a thing.... So no nasty notes about my kids having all this sugar!! lol

Cost : $34.35
Saved : $29.55 ($26.05 coupons, store coupons, catalina's + $3.50 catalina for my next trip)
Spent : $4.80

That is $.32 per box....can't beat that price for extra snacks!!

All my coupon Match Ups were from GrocerySmarts.com
The Albertson's special was buy 4 get $3 instant savings and if you purchase 5 in one transaction it prints a $3.50 Catalina for your next purchase. I rolled the Catalina's and did 3 transactions to get this great deal.

I also want to note that all these boxes are part of the Box Tops for Schools so that will be $1.50 for the kid's school!! I have turned in so many of these to the schools. Every little bit helps.

Working the Register Rewards at Walgreens

Here is a time that the Register Rewards really made my day!!

I like to make my RR work for me when I need them the most!! I only needed zip lock bags....to put all the Chili in that I made today....I took the extra time and went to Walgreens.

The Chips were buy $20 worth and get a $10 RR. So I rang those up first....used the $20 worth of RR I had from earlier this month to pay for them... ZERO Balance on that transaction.

I got the bags for $.99 each, the Wipes for buy one get one 50% off, and the Snapple's were $.50 on clearance......I used the $10 RR I got from the first order for buying all the chips....PAID $.40

So I got everything in that picture for $.40!!

Cost : $43.57
Savings : $43.17
PAID : $.40

Love it!! And yes my husband still thinks I'm crazy!!

(the second receipt is a little messed up....I had picked up some Bullfrog sunscreen that was on clearance that had a coupon attached to it that would have made them $1 each....didn't realize the coupon had expired....So she had to take them all off)

Walgreens - Again

I made another trip to Walgreens and am thinking about going back later tonight for a few more deals. I was short on time when I was there earlier....

Anyway I got $46.86 worth of products for only $14.36 - and have $10 in RR so I essentially got it for $4.36!!

I didn't take a picture but here is what I got
3 - Triaminic kids medication
1 - Triaminic kids strips medication
2 - Clean & Clear Face Wash
2 - Walgreens wipes

Pretty good for only $4 - Averaged out it's about $.50 per item!!! Yay!!

By the way my husband thinks I'm totally nuts!! He's not as excited about this savings as I am today....lol

Walmart

Had to use up my Electasol coupons up.
