THE ANSWER .... PLUS TODAY'S DEALS

Remember this blurry picture I asked you all to guess how much you thought I spent after all my deals and Coupons???? Well..... Jenny you were the closest with the $7 guess. The ANSWER is ...................... $2.30. YES, that is right people. SEE WHY IT PAYS TO USE YOUR COUPONS!! Now do you all want to start couponing and saving money! I did not add up all the money I saved, wish I had.


Now for today's deals. Josiah and I had to make a run to Wal-mart (on a SAT. UGGGGH!) to return some items that we did not need for school and another item. We received $8.07 back , but then we bought the EXPO dry erase markers and the highlighters.

Here is the total cost after 3 coupons:

~ 2 pks. EXPO dry erase markers $1.50 ea. ($3.00)
- 2 $1 off coupons
~ 2 pks. BIC highlighters 0.49 cents ea. ($0.98)
- $1 /2 coupon

Grand Total:
$1.30 (I guess I had to pay the total tax)
SAVED: $3.00

Here is what we bought at Bi-Lo:
1 gallon of milk
1/2 gallon of choc. milk
1 candy bar
1 bottle of cascade dishwasher detergent agent
4 boxes of totino pizza rolls

Total Cost: $0.58
SAVED: $18.07 that is a 96.5 % savings!

I actually made money today. I took back the left over school supplies that we did not need at $8.07 and then spent $1.88 Wal-mart and Bi-Lo. So, it did pay me to brave Wal-mart on a Sat.!


Next up is school shopping post........ Hope you all enjoy my money saving shopping adventures and I am not boring you to badly! Most importantly I hope I am encouraging you! :)

Two questions...

Were do you find all these coupons???
I have never seen coupons for bananas! Did you use a coupon for them as well?

Hey Terri, I get them off the internet and the Sun. paper, which I buy 2 of every week now. Yes, I found an in-store coupon on the boxes of cereal that said if I bought a box of this cereal then I got $2 off any produce. Cool huh! It happened to be one of the cereals that were buy one get one free and I had coupons for them 2. I go to southernsavers.com for all my info. But I found the one for the produce on my own! I ended up only paying .30 for the bananas.

Oh I love it! I just sent hubby out this weekend to get a Sunday paper and will be clipping my coupons soon. Our food bill has shot thru the roof. We must do something!

I still haven't figured out how to get coupons online for these products yet.

You go girl!
