Updates

The last couple of weeks seem to have been busier then normal. I still haven't finished up on last months budget, let alone started this months or posted a shopping list for the last two weeks.

I no longer have the receipts for the last week in June, but think that I remember what I ended up buying.

As for last week I spent a lot of time at Cub. I think I was there at least once per day last week. It paid off as you will see. Not all the trips were for me also. I helped mom and Becca with the Planters deal because you needed to go through so many times to use all the coupons.


June
I went to Target on the 25th. I was going to get some cheese and a bunch of other things. Nothing I really needed. I thought my total would be around $1.30. Things ended up going terribly wrong. They didn't cut the right cheese and then each bag ended up costing around $1.70/$1.80 instead of $1.05 like it had been. Even after that I had figured out a few things for overage so that my total should have only been $3.xx. In the end it was $9.70. My plan was to return a few of the things that should have had overage, but instead the coupons weren't even scanned. My real total would be $4.16

I made two trips to Rainbow and ended up getting a bunch of bertolli pasta sauce pouches at Rainbow. They were $1.25 and I had $1/1 coupons for them. I think the total as $6.50

I also found a recipe for 6-30
10 bags AF cheese $11.13
AF Chips $7.12
After coupons $.25


Total spending $10.91
Total Spend this Month $81.85
Total Left for this Month $3.65 + $5 OYNO @ Cub, and 2 Free milk up to $4 at Rainbow

All in all I was just under budget for June.

Free SoBe Life Water

Alright folks,

The freebie of the week is SoBe Life Water. It is on sale at Target for $1. When you buy 10 bottles you get a $5 gift card making it 10/$5 after the gift card. There are tearpads out there for $.50/1. Use 10 coupons + get the $5 gift card and it comes out free for every 10 bottles you buy. (Actually I did have to pay $.65 tax on 20 bottles, but that's still not bad)

I have had good look finding the coupons at both Holiday gas stations and Kwik Trip gas stations. I haven't seen any at Super America, but I have only checked the one off Marchall in Shakopee.

Feel ackward going in just to check for coupons and not buying anything? Yeah, me too. If you head to Kwik Trip grab a banana or two. They are only $.39 per lb which is much cheaper the Cub. I got about 5 bananas for $.49 this evening.

Aquafina Alive is also included in the 10/$10 get a $5 gift card deal. People have found tearpads for it at Walgreens, and also in the deli section of Safeway. Not much help for those in the midwest, but maybe those out west will be able to find some of them.
