Major Savings

I did lots of shopping this weekend. What else is a girl to do when her husband is working? :)
Many of you know that I am a coupon nerd and I also love helping others with my little hobby so let me know if you ever want to get together for a quick lesson.
I was so excited about my savings this weekend that I set up the items I bought at each store and took a picture. Unfortunately our camera right now is nowhere to be found so these pics were snapped with my phone. If you scored some great deals this weekend, please share!

RITE AID, Total Spent= 0.00 (made .76), Saved=50.50 (The Right Guard deodorant was actually from Publix, but since I got them both for free I wanted to include them in a picture. Once I got home, I found a .50/2 coupon for Snickers that I could have used. Oh well, I still consider this trip the most successful one this weekend. 21 items!)

TARGET, Total Spent=3.99, Saved=1.50 (The Purex was free thanks to a "try me free" tag. Normally I don't get crescent rolls at Target but I needed them for the pigs-in-a-blanket we were having for dinner.)

WALGREENS, Total Spent=4.22, Saved=27.50 (The four detergents only added up to .72!, the 2-liters were 1.25 each, but we were totally out of my favorite drink! )

BI-LO, Total Spent=9.01, Saved=42.00 (Way more bags of potato chips than we would normally buy, but they were on sale and my 4 Baked Lays coupons that doubled expired today. And...yes, that is 11 boxes of facial tissue in the back which will be donated)

CVS, Total Spent=.57, Saved=33.18 (This deal turned out better than expected. I had a $4off/$20 purchase, $2 off Revlon product and $1 off body wash...all CVS coupons. Add manufactures coupons on top of that and call it a win-win!)

ALL OF THE ABOVE FOR LESS THAN...

$18!!

(My husband is a happy man!)

That's great, Amy! I live down the street from your mom and she is my 13 year old son Brian's favorite teacher (from 2nd grade at NRES). You do great on saving and that's something I strive to do as well! I like your blog, come visit mine some at SceneoftheGrime.blogspot.com

Have a great week!
