YAY for $10 off $50 Thursdays!

I paied $119.47 oop and I have $5.50 to send in for rebates
I went through 5 times and my before coupons total was $273.12.
So 56% savings with just coupons

67% if you include the savings on sale items and my rebates (but minus the cost of stamps, I always include that when I think of rebates)

I totally dropped the ball on the deals this week. I just could not bring myself to pack up all the kiddos and drive 25 miles to shop n save. So I just went to Wal-Mart and ended up spending $30 over my budget even though I price matched and used coupons. Don’t feel too guilty we were home by 9:30 and no one had a meltdown and I still had my sanity so I think it was worth the $30 bucks :-)

think about the 25 miles and the gas you would spend as well….with the gas prices these days you have to take that into consideration as well! Yeah for no meltdowns and sanity…worth $30 bucks if you ask me!!

I always have to go to the $10.00 off day so late in the evening b/c of work. Tonight it was 9:30pm. But, I’ve met a couple of Gals who go late to the store who coupon too so on $10.00 off day, we compare notes on what the best deals are. It’s turned into a fun kinda reunion ea time! I’m still a newbie at this so here’s my totals: 3 X’s through the checkout
$184.64 worth of groceries for $111.25
40% Saving
saved $73.39
Thanks Carie and All for all your help in learning and tips!
