Thrifty Thursday - June 28

This was a pretty big shopping week, which is somewhat surprising, since we got a new batch of co-op produce on Saturday. However, we bought a lot of baking products to help us with that produce, and I stocked up on lots of soup this week, as it was FINALLY on sale again after months! I was able to get free Pringles at CVS, as well as a free Dole Smoothie Shaker at Publix. Here are this week's totals:

Thrifty Thursday - June 14

Well, can't say that I stayed on budget this week, BUT I've been quite under for a few weeks, so it evens out (I think!). I didn't get a whole lot from Publix, but I had to get some higher priced items, like toilet paper, multivitamins, and bodywash and deodorant for Jamie. I also stocked up on Coke since Publix had another of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sales. Here are the totals for this week:

Thrifty Thursday - Feb 2

I haven't written about this before, but I feel that it IS worth mentioning that we do have a mini stockpile, with an abundance of pasta, salad dressing, popcorn, rice and toiletries. I bought lots of those when I first started couponing, and soon realized that we couldn't use them as fast as I was buying them, so we won't be buying anymore until our supply has dwindled quite a bit. That explains why you haven't seen those items on these lists so far. Just an FYI for y'all!

Thrifty Thursday - Jan 5

"Thrifty Thursday" will be the first new feature for the blog this year. Each week, I hope to show you how I am staying within our $50 grocery/hygiene budget. This week I'm just going to do a quick rundown, with a more in-depth breakdown next week.

I didn't go to Publix this week, as they literally had nothing on sale that I wanted. Instead, I picked up a few things at Kroger:
Spent: $25.63
Saved: $18.54

I also stopped by CVS to pick up some hair accessories.
Spent: $3.73
Saved: $2.50


Since it's the beginning of the year, that means lots of retail stores have tons of sales to get rid of their merchandise from the end of the year. Thanks to gift cards and Christmas money, I decided to take advantage of some of those sales today (and not spend anything out of pocket)!

Loft
Spent: $57.75
Saved: $82.22

Bath and Body Works
Spent: $17.92
Saved: $11.08

Old Navy
Spent: $25.66
Saved: $25.31 (I would have saved more, but I didn't buy enough to get free shipping.)

Jamie and I also went to Walmart and Target and spent such a little bit of money that we were still under budget for the week! I'd say this was quite a nice start to 2012  :-)

Adventures in Couponing: CVS

Today was my first try at couponing for CVS. Honestly, it was a bit confusing. Not everything that was in the ad was clearly marked in the store and some products were beside sale labels that weren't actually on sale. Because of that, I ended up having to do some refunds/exchanges, so it took a bit longer than I anticipated. However, I ended up with some pretty good deals:

(2) U by Kotex Liners 60 ct
(2) Softsoap hand pumps 8-8.5 oz
(3) Stride Shaun White Whitemint 14 ct
Spent: $11.13
Saved: $11.12
The savings includes $6 in Extracare bucks, which I can use on my next CVS purchase.
I also had coupons for every item except for the gum, which really helped.

I did pretty well at Target and Publix too, with not a lot of items bought, but a good percentage of savings:

TARGET
(1) Olay Classic Foaming Facial Cleanser
(1) Nivea Touch of Sparkle Women's Body Wash
(1) Crest ProHealth Sensitive + Enamel 6 oz  w/Bonus sample & savings booklet
Spent: $6.48
Saved: $6.24
I had coupons for each of these items.

PUBLIX
(1) PF Changs for Two
(1) head of Iceberg Lettuce
(2) Cucumbers
(3) Tomatoes on the Vine
(1) Wishbone Dressing
(1) Vlasic Stackers
(1) Emerald Nuts
(3) Uncle Ben's Ready Rice
(1) Uncle Ben's Whole Grain White Rice
(1) Coke 1.25 liters
Spent: $19.83
Saved: $16.61

Good savings today! Yahoo!
