I was able to go into town this evening and do some "coupon" shopping as I like to call it.
Homeland, one of our grocery stores, had a pretty good sale on. I haven't been saving coupons the last few months so I didn't have near what I would have liked to have, coupon wise, when I went into the store. Breaks my heart that I got depressed and stopped clipping them.
Most of the coupons today I printed from Swagbucks so I will get 10 swagbucks for every single one I used. That will be about 120 swagbucks..so not too shabby. I like to use Swagbucks because it allows me to earn a little extra spending money for items for Christmas. That always makes it nice.
Here is a list of my haul today. I didn't take a photo before putting it all up and now I wish I had :-)
10 packages Feminine Products
4 toothbrushes
1 tube coalgate toothpaste
30 bars Ivory soap
8 bars soft soap
2 soft soap body wash
1 Bar Keepers Friend Cleaner
8 Boxes Suddenly Salad
26 Boxes Hamburger Helper
4 Herbal Essence Shampoos
3 Herbal Essence Condition
1 Herbal Essence Mousse
8 Gillette Shaving Gel
4 Palmolive Dish Soap
4 Packages Hefty Food Storage Bags
2 Reach Dental Floss
6 Bags Bugle Chips
20 rolls Angel Soft Toilet Paper
5 Rolls Sparkle Paper Towels
Total Retail Cost $274.58
Total I spent $76.82
I also have $4 CVS ECB and $4 worth of registar rewards to spend in those stores.
I saved 72% on items today.
This helps my family to stretch our money just as far as we can possibly stretch it.
For the record, I believe in giving to food pantries, shelters, and others in need. I do have a stockpile but I always try to share. :-)
