I feel so uneventful. Like a broken record, saying the same thing over and over. I guess if it is boring to you just skip on over it. :) I learned it really helps me to track what I am spending and what I am getting. I seem to spend a lot less this way. We used to keep track in Microsoft Money, but not as detailed. It seems the details have made a difference.

Anyway,

Walmart
3lb bag on yellow onions $.99 (priced matched the Aldi ad)

Cub
4 Bacon
2 Beans

Total for the day $1.33
Total Spending this Month $77.83
Total Left to Spend $16.97

$5/$20 at Walgreens this Friday

I found an IP coupon $5 off a $20 purchase at Walgreens. It's only good on Friday. This is great if you are planning on getting some of the free after rebate items because it will give you an overage.

List for the week

Here is the list for the week. I've already blogged about the about most of these, but I'll put them in a list so that you can see what coupons I have been using. I'm going to leave off the Schick razors at Walgreens because the coupons I used are now expired.

CVS
Crayola Color Wonders $1.50 on clearance
Sobe life water $1, -BOGO IP, -$.50/1 tear pad, -$1 ECB on 2=2/$.50 overage



CUB
There are a couple of good deals this week. One is the Kraft buy 10, get $5 off with in ad coupon. Another is buy any 4 listed products get $3 OYNO. I'm not going to list out all the different options for them because it would take pages. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Farmland bacon $4.29,-BOGO Cub coupon, -$2/1 MF=2/.29
Bush's Grillin Beans $.88 with in ad coupons, -$1/1 MF=1/$.12 overage
Farmland Sausage $1.25, -$1/1 MF=1/$.25
Suave Shampoo/Conditioner $1.33, -$3 OYNO WYB 4, -$1/2=4/.33


RAINBOW
Johnsonville Brats 3lb $6.88, -$2/1=1/$4.88

Walmart
French's Mustard $1, -$.35/1=1/$.65
Breyer's Ice Cream $2.50, -$.50/1=1/$2.00


I think this is it for the week. If you need a refresher of the monthly offers at CVS just check the posts from last week. I think I put them all on there. Happy shopping all.

I feel like I'm the dog from the Beggin Strips comercial...

You all know what I'm talking about. The dog that goes running all over the place to get "bacon." I only have 6 more coupons to use, but I feel like I have been running back and forth from Cub all week.

To make it easy on me, and also less borning to read I'm just going to give a grand total of what I have gotten and the total spent on it.

Walgreens
1 Oral B crossaction toothbrush
2 4ct Schick refill blades
8 Chef Boyardee raviolli
1 Schick Titanium razor
1 Schick razor with trimmer
total $
Used $13 RR and $3.89 cash
Rebate $4.99 for toothbrush +$5 for raviolli +10% extra for having it put onto a gift card
Total OOP after rebate $7.10 overage.

I still have $20 in RR to use before the end of the week so hopefully I will be able to find more of the free after rebate items to increase my giftcard total.

CVS
6 Sobe life water
6 Crayola Color Wonders Mini pads with paints or markers
3 CVS brand Tylenol
1 Colgate 360 toothbrush
2 Garnier shampoo, each w/bonus travel size shampoo and conditioner
OOP was $11.90, I used ECBs and a gift card. I got back $8.99, so overall I paid $2.91 in ECBs.

Cub
14 packages Farmland Bacon
4 cans Bush's Gillin Beans
24 cans Cub brand green beans (used raincheck)
1 loaf wheat bread
4 8oz pk of Kraft cheese
4 Kraft to Go salad dressing
2 pks baby carrots
1 red onion
1 Kraft Mayo
1 A1 Sauce
3lbs ground beef
Total $13.54 Cash + $10 OYNO

There were also a couple of random purchases at the end of last week. I can only rememeber one, but there might have been two.
Cub

Grand total $14.07
Total Spending this Month $76.50
Total Left to Spend $18.30

$.17

Went to Cub this evening and got a couple of things. The cashier was super funny when she say my total. It went from $9.97 to $.17. It's like she couldn't quite believe it could do that.

This is what I got
2 Farmland Bacon $4.29 each
1 Bush's grillin beans $1.39

In todays ad there is a store coupon to get the beans for $.88 each, limit one. If you still have the $1/1 coupon from a coupon of weeks ago you get an overage on it. The coupon didn't beep or need to be approved so there is no problems with the overage.

There is a BOGO coupon in the Cub booklet for the bacon. Pair that with the current or expired $2/1 coupons it comes to $.29 for 2 packages.

These coupons have been really hot of ebay, but I was able to trade for some last week. Most of the clipping sites are out of them, or never got them, but I did find one that still has some. If you order by Tuesday morning they should get here in time for the sale. I've used this site before and they are reliable. They don't send you a comfirmation email so it's a little nerve racking, but they have always come. The site is Rebecca's forms and coupons. They are $.20 each or it would be like paying $.70/2 packs of bacon.

If you have any questions give me a call or send me an email.
