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???
