Monday deals......

I got all this for $3.85 after coupons. I had 2 free coupons from sign ups, free items with 3 kraft product coupons and a few high value coupons from emailing companies. The kool aid was on sale 10/$1.00 so I got 15 so they would count as my buy 3 kraft items and for that I got the cheese, hot dogs, wheat thins, crystal light and salad dressing all free! These items will help my pantry look full again!

Yes, I did buy other groceries but I did not really think you would want to see all my groceries. I used several other coupons for my regular groceries and a few were even printed from the internet. This was the store I emailed to ask them to start taking internet coupons. I am happy to say, they accepted the coupons with no problem at all. Yeah!!

I also saved 24 cents by using my own bags today too!!

This will be our next big purchase. We lose power for a few days each winter so this will come in handy. One year it happened on Christmas day with a house full of company and a big snow storm that quickly moved in on us. We will be more prepared from now on!

Thursday.....

I stopped at CVS this morning to buy a few things. My receipt says I saved $14.69 today with sales and coupons but I still spent $17.32. It was all things I use though so I guess it was not as bad as it sounds. I did get my free coupon for the month of August... I got free 24ct of CVS brand Ibuprofen. I love getting free stuff but.. it expires next week already!! UGH! With gas prices as high as they are, I just do not get to CVS as often as I used to. I will have to make it a point to stop next Thursday after DD's gymnastic class.
