Amazingly, I was able to purchase 2 milks, Colgate toothpast and Jelly Belly jelly beans today at CVS for only $4.79 on $16.08 worth of groceries for a savings of 70% and I walked away with another 4.99 in ECB's!! The jelly beans were not that great of a deal, but the twins were with me and I always find myself getting them a treat. Maybe I should start planning ahead for that!
Walgreen's was good this week also, but only if you know what you're looking for! I was able to purchase three packages of Huggies diapers (27 ct), 2 pkgs of Oscar Meyer bacon and 2 pkgs of pumpkin seeds (my husband's favorite!) for $25.41. These items without sales would have been $50.39, so there was a savings of 50%. Plus, I walked out with $6 in RR that I then used on my Publix trip. Not too bad!
All in all, my shopping today totaled $83.30 for $206.07 worth of items, a savings of 60% and I still have $4.99 to spend (probably on more milk!). I went a little over my budget of $75, but I had a little left over from my shopping two weeks ago.
I am continuously blessed by how God is teaching me to be more responsible with my finances. Additionally, I will be attending a coupon workshop this weekend and hope to pick up even more tips and tricks of the trade.
Be blessed.
