This weekend, I've been pretty lazy. I went to a great game yesterday with my friends Sarah L and Johnny. I got to meet Sarah's boyfriend and her roomate came too. We had a pretty good time (aka chatting and eating plus a little football watching). Marshall won so that made it even better!
Anyway, today I sat down with my Sunday paper and my coupons and decided to get better at my sale shopping. I only get the Sunday paper for the coupons and the ads. Rarely, I will read the paper. I just started getting it delivered and am so happy to not have to go out early on Sunday mornings to get my paper then go shopping for the week.
Today, I went to CVS, Rite Aid, and Walmart. I am going to go to Kroger and Foodfair later in the week for a few things.
First off was Rite Aid. I picked up 4 bottles of VO5 shampoo (Kyle will use anything) for $0.67 each. They also had Herbal Essences shampoo on sale for $2.99 but then you got $2 in rebates for your next visit, AND I had a $1.00/2 coupon. My total was $8.18. I saved $4.28 and I got $4 in rebates.
Then I drove down the road to CVS. There I found cereal for 2/$4 then I had a coupon ($1.50/3) and $1.00 extra bucks off 2 boxes (limit 1). Dish soap for $0.99 then I had a $0.25 coupon. Hair spray for $2.99, coupon for $0.50 off 1, plus $2.00 extra bucks. They also had toothpaste on sale B1G1 and I had a $1 coupon. I spent $14.50, saved $21.28, and got $3 in extra bucks.
Then it was Walmart time. I bought our food for this week. Don't worry, we eat more fruits and veggies than I bought, I have some left from last week and I have lots in the freezer. AND we DO eat meat, but I don't buy it from Walmart and I only buy it on sale, so, once again, I have lots in the freezer. I spent $37 dollars BUT I found a $20 walmart gift card in an old purse that was still good, so I only spent $17! Woo-hoo! I saved $8.85. Not great, but not horrible.
