Saturday's Shopping Maddness -

So a couple of weeks ago I purchased some glade plug in's from Target, posted above. Come to find out I'm not a big fan of the smell. So today I decided to return them and use them for groceries. Here's what I was able to buy w/the return. After applying my store credit I spent $2.24. :o)

The turkey was on sale for $.40/lb, I had coupons for the rotel, milk and sparkling grape juice.
Borden Milk $3.97 - $1 coupon = $2.97
Rotel 3 x .88 = $2.64 - .50, -.50 -.88 = $.76 for all 3
Sparkling Grape Juice $2.33 - $2 coupon = $.33/each
Happy Shopping!!

Another item I can mark off my list! The trees are finally down. Now if we could get rid of the brush pile and wood.

I look at all of these websites, print coupons, collect the Sunday paper, pick up extra coupon books from the recycling center and my co-workers bring me their extra coupons too. Since we're all watching our wallets more these days I'm going to start documenting all of the lovely ways you can save some money!
