I made a quick run into CVS tonight to pick up the 2.99 BioTrue Solution that is free after ECBs. I hadn’t realized until today that this is a monthly deal. When I scanned my ExtraCare card it printed off another .79 Q for Dove chocolate bars. While trying to keep DS out of the HUGE selection of candies at the register I didn’t pay attention to the totals-dangerous I know. When I got home I realized the bar was {Read More}

My goal is to provide dinner for my family (2 adults and one toddler eating) for an average of $5 except on special occasions. We don’t have to eat beans and rice to accomplish this goal! Each main dish cooked will be for 4-6 servings so there will be leftover servings for lunches, dinners on the weekend, or to freeze for another week. Monday: leftover crockpot chicken, corn, plum, peach leftover chicken @ free (2) servings rice @ .40 (1/2) {Read More}

The items were all free or better than free this week. Total shelf price $51.90. Money I made back due to coupons and store promotions: $10.03. And yes my donations box is now well stocked with toothbrushes You ask-Does this mean that I took home $10.03 cash? No- it means that because of coupons I have extra money to spend in the store on other products in the form of RR or ECBs. I will either use these for other {Read More}

$3.02 profit to try Dr. Scholl’s Blister Defense Anti-Friction Stick!!! I read about this deal earlier in the week but haven’t been able to find 2 of these in any of my stores until my trip today. There is a $5.00 RR promotion when you buy $10 of select Dr. Scholl’s products. The Blister Defense Anti-Friction Sticks are included in that although they aren’t advertised. I didn’t want to post until I had done this myself, as sometimes unadvertised deals {Read More}

In my weekly review last week I said that my savings/money made of 225.72 equaled 336.74 of DH’s salary saved. Here’s how I get that number. To have a dollar to spend you have to earn a dollar right? wrong To spend a dollar you have to earn the dollar, plus your income tax rate, social security and medicare, and for many tithe. For our family it looks like this: 13 % = our average income tax rate after deductions {Read More}

Scotch Mailers .39 with in ad coupon I kid you not- That’s all I plan to buy this week at the drugstores! To me, a deal is only a deal if it’s: A-something my family will use B-something I can get very cheap or free if I can donate it or C- if it makes me money to take it home. Otherwise I’m wasting money and time. Personally, my donation box is almost full with items I got for free {Read More}

Instead of typing in google.com you would type in swagbucks.com and search from their site. You will win swagbucks every few searches. Usually I win between 8 {Read More}
