Shopping on a Sunday!

I am back! School is out so I will be posting more deals more often.

This has been a good savings week. At target, you can still get free bbq sauce, with your 1.00 Kraft printable. You can also get free Crystal light. Use the coupons from coupons.com or kraft.com, they are several for 1.00 off of 1, 2.00 off of 2. You can use these coupons on the 3 packs at the endcaps by several registers.

I also went to Walmart today and used my 1.50 off of kraft dressings to buy 3 bottles of Italian dressing for marinades at a whopping purchase of .32 cents! Yippee.

Today also marked my return to CVS. I did the Dove soap deal, and the toilet paper. I spent 3.00 out of pocket, bought 8 deodorants, a large toilet paper bag, and a newspaper for the week. Not a bad day of shopping!

Menu Planning Monday

told you I'd be back! Nothing saves me money and time like menu planning. I also use E-mealz, a great recipe website. Here are my menus for the week:

Monday:

Enchiladas/Beans

Tuesday

Homemade Chicken Pizza

Wednesday

Chicken/Veggies/Rice

Thursday

Parents in town!

Friday:

Hamburgers/French Fries

Not the healthiest of weeks, but still, better than fast food!

I'm Back

For reals this time, I am going to devote more time to this blog. Work is slowing down and I should have more time. Here are today's Shopping on A sunday.

I went to CVS and used my 4/20 coupon. I bought 6 tresseme hair products, used 6 1$ off from my fav website http://www.dealseekingmom/, spent 1.07 (i also bought a green bag) and used ten extra bucks and received ten extra bucks back. I then did a separate transaction where I bought shave gel and toothpaste, spent a 6.00 extra buck and received a 6.00 extra buck! Woohoo! Good day. Look forward to tomorrow where I discuss menu planning monday and how that can save a lot for the frugal familes.

Shopping on a Sunday

Not much shopping this week, I was able to get to costco and stock up on meat and chicken,so I'm using up some of my stockpile. I will post my menu tomorrow as I join MenuPlanning Monday from OrgJunkie.

However, there are a few unbelievable deals out there.

At target.com, you can print 1$ off artisan breads and many loaves are only 99 cents! I have 6 free loaves of bread! Woohoo! I got this off of Deal Seeking Mom's website.

Also, follow this link : http://coupons.smartsource.com/WEB/index.aspx?act=printCoupons&firsttime=true&SessionID=91a4db5b-bca9-4e28-aecd-c96033795847 and you will get a 4.00 off pace coupon. Pace is cheaper than this, so it's free! Or a moneymaker. This is from Erica at IHEARTCVS's twitter page.

So today I went to target, bought one large pace at 2.99, one buddy bar, and 3 loaves of bread. Final price: free :)

At Kroger I bought two pace's, one gentle care wipe, a box of poptarts, and a paper. Used two 4.00 off coupons for the pace, one 5.00 off any gentle care product and kroger actually gave me 18 cents back, what a great day of shopping!

Away for a while

I am sorry bloggyland, I have been away for a while. We had spring break, my dad had chemo and my mother in law is sick, so I have been focusing on family. I will be back tomorrow with my shopping on a sunday post. Thanks for lurking.

Shopping on A Sunday

All of the coupon links are up on the blogs on the right hand side of my blog, I personally enjoy Mommy Snacks, but go back and forth to all of them. Let me know if there is a store you can't find.

Here is my shopping on a sunday, no pics since my sweet husband has already put everything up! I only did the drugstores and a run into target- I am trying to use up some of my stockpile- I am trying to use some of the grocery money this week to help pay for a FCA cookout for my school.

CVS

1 Transaction-I know, only one :)

3 boxes of cheerios at 3/10.00 Used Manufacturer coupons 1/3, .55/1, .55/1
2 boxes of Garnier Fructis Hair Color, 2/10 Used Manufacturer coupons 2/1, 2/1
1 Diet 7 up

Total before coupons: 21.49
Total after coupons: 16.66
Pait with 16.00 Extra Bucks, earned 10 back
I burned a few extra bucks, but Justin loves the Cheerios Out of Pocket, 66 cents!

Walgreens:
4 different transactions,
1st Transaction: 3 packages of size 2 diapers at 10.00 a pack, one Garnier Fructis Hair products
33.00 before coupons, used 3 5/1 for the diapers, a 1/1 for the Garnier and an IVC coupon (walgreens) for the garnier, total out of pocket was 16.23, then earned ten dollars in register rewards. So for 6.23, got 3 packs of diapers and a hair product.

Transactions 2, 3 and 4 consisted of one garnier fructis product using the same coupons above and a 50 cent candy since the garnier rang up at .01 refund back to me and Walgreens wouldn't clear it. I will use the candy for Justin's lunch

At Target I spent 6.00, none of it amazing deals, bought some bread, frozen fries and taco seasoning to help stretch the weeks meals.

Total spent oop this week: 12.83 plus 10.00 for a package of hamburger meat at costco. Total spent on groceries : 22.83! WooHoo! Let me know how you did!

Walgreens

I received an email from a lurker asking why I don't enjoy Walgreens. I do sometimes shop there, but rarely. I have a very hard time getting the cashiers to take coupons, or my register rewards to print out. I also once received a messed up gift card from their rebate system and had a very hard time getting it replaced. In my personal experience, CVS is just much more coupon friendly.

Tell me your thoughts lurkers. Any bad luck stories with CVS or Walgreens?
