Commissary 11/11/08

Here are several deals I got on groceries and glade today. I started my shopping at Albertson's but after my deals starting falling through I decided it wasn't worth it and headed to the commissary. Sorry you all can't cash in on these deals but watch for the items to go on sale in your area and use the coupons on them. I think almost all of my coupons were printables.

Evaporated Milk- .44
Duncan Hines Cake Mixes- .48
Progresso Soup- .81
Progresso Soup- .21
Glade Oil Candle Holder- 1.00
Glade Oil Holiday Scent Refills, Yummy!- 1.20
Kellogg's Cereal- 1.05

As you can imagine, I stocked up on most of these items. Hope you had a great day also!

Savings this Week- 11/02-11/08

I haven't posted a lot lately, mostly because I haven't been hunting as much. Anyway, I am pretty stocked with a lot of stuff so I haven't done much but here is what I did this week.

Walgreen's- I went to Walgreen's this week for one thing, and actually only got one thing, 10 times! I got the diapers that were on sale. I really like these diapers. The first trip I bought 4 without the $2 coupon and then forgot to use my RR's. So, I bought 2 more and used it. The diapers were on B1G1 sale for 8.99 so I should have paid 26.97 for 6 packs but used my gift card and RR's so $0 Out-of-Pocket. The second trip I asked the pharmacy for the coupon book and bought 4 more packs. The coupon takes off $2 for each pack so I saved $8! Yeah, my total was $9.98 but I used by GC again. $0
Summary- $89.90 in product Paid $0!

Target- Last week I had a little shopping spree and this week I took it all back! Anyway, I bought a new shelf for my basement for all my food storage and stock piles. The shelf went on sale from $54.99 to $34.99 and I had a $5 gift card. So, I got a way nice metal shelf for $29.99!

Kmart- I got 2 2GB SD cards for our camera and video player on sale for $14.99!

Amazon.com- I did a deal that I hope turns out good. I took and chance! Anyway, Barbie.com has a deal that if you spend $100 on select products they will send you a $50 Visa Gift card. So, I researched all the products and found the best prices. I bought 5 Barbie & the Diamond Castle Barbies that sing and the Barbie & the Diamond Castle Walking Horse. My total was $105.14 and I saved $8.37 with a shipping code and $8.52 with a 10% off code so my grand total was $96.62 which isn't bad for those great gifts. But, I saved another $30 by using my Amazon Credit card so I will only pay $66.62 to amazon and get back $50 from Barbie. I am hoping to get my gift card by the time I have to pay amazon so that I only have to out of pocket $16.62 but that's really pushing it. Anyway, I got a barbie and the horse for Katie for Christmas and the rest for gifts.

Misc- I spent another $41.90 on gifts this week for Christmas.

Groceries- For groceries this week I got a total of $96.27 this week, but only saved $5.50. Opps! Mostly because I took Katie to breakfast one day and then to the PTA night so eating out this week cost us $45!!! The rest was mostly spent on stocking up on baking items for the holidays and Girl Scouts. Actually, I didn't buy anything that I ate this week. Anyway, I got Duncan Hines Cake mixes and frosting's for $.47 each. I stocked up!!!

CVS- I went one time and just got what I needed, and the free toothpaste! Anyway, Pantene was on sale and there were coupons so I got 3 bottles and the toothpaste and only paid $1.23 after ECB's and coupons. I got back $5.49 in ECB's.

Thrift Store and Airman's Attic- I made a stop at both this week. I got Katie and new coat, Tyson a booster seat, and a couple misc items all from the Airman's attic for FREE!! Then, I got a carpet cleaner, a new skirt, my friend's boys a couple ties, and Tyson a snow suit for $15.25 at the Thrift Store. Pretty Good.

Well, that was my week of savings! How did you do???
