I don't have a ton to add to the spending for this month. Like I said in the last post I have been quite busy, and also not feeling so hot. Together it means I haven't been shopping much the last two weeks. Not really a bad development.

Taking a break
As you might have noticed I haven't been keeping up with the blog this week and last. There has been a lot of end of summer busyness going on. On top of that I haven't been feeling well which is making it hard to make the weekly list. I haven't even been looking at things for my personal list.
I have decided just to make it definite and say that I am taking a little vacation from the list. This way I don't struggle to get it out every week and then feel back when I don't get it done. We will be out of town towards the end of August so I think the easiest thing to do it just to start again with the weekly list at the beginning of September.
I'm planning on still updating the budget. I've found that having it all typed up helps me to keep on track and to know where I am spending. I tend to spend a lot less when I put it on the blog. Hopefully I can get last weeks purchases up tonight and go from there.
Thanks all for understanding. Hope you have a great end to your summer. See you when school starts.

Free SoBe Life Water at Target again
Just wanted to make to quick post about the Free SoBe Life Water at Target this week. They are on sale for $1. For every ten bottles that you buy you get a $5 gift card. There are $.50/1 MF out there so if you buy in sets of 10 with ten coupons they will be free after the giftcard.
I've found these coupons at both Holiday gas stations and at Kwik Trip gas stations. They are right on the door of the drink fridges.

Lots of toys 75% off at Target
I was at Target tonight and they had a lot of toys on clearance. Almost all of them were marked 75% off. I got some Thomas things for Noah for Christmas and a couple of other presents.
For $16.98 after tax I got;
2 CARS giant floor coloring pads
2 Neville Thomas the Tank Engine dye cast train
1 Cranky the Crank + track and train get
2 Schleich lambs
1 Schleich Moose
Not as good as usual, but being there were no coupons not bad. Regular price would have been $67.92

Last day of the Month--what did I get?
I had some coupons that were expiring today so Noah and I went out to see what we could find. I headed to CVS with a page full of clearance and hidden deals plus the regular sale items for the week. Well, we ended up leaving with 2 rainchecks and nothing else. :(
I did run into Becky Weber and her neighbor, Stephanie as I was leaving. I was saying that I was heading to Target to use up my $5/3 Target coupon that expired today so Stephanie gave me two more. All total I now had three $5/3 and one $5/5 to work with.
This is what I ended up getting. I think I did pretty good for not having a plan when I talked through the door.
5 Johnson's Buddies $.94 -2 $2/2
1 9oz Johnson's baby soap $2.09
2 20oz Johnson's baby soap $2.79
1 14ct Johnson's pre-soaped washcloths $2.99
1 Neosporin $3.89 -$1/1
1 20ct Diego Bandaids $1.97 -$1/1 (Noah almost had a fit 4 times once we got home because he wanted one so bad.)
5 Stayfree $1.02 ( Just realized I only needed 14 products so I only needed to get 3 of these)
I think that my OOP after all the Target coupons was $.32. My reciept only shows tax for the amount of other products I purchased. I found some toys maked 75% off so I got a couple of Christmas presents. These aren't included in the grocery budget so they won't be added to the total.
I also went to Cub last night. Here is what I got on my last trip of the month.
20 Farmland sausage $1.50 -20 $1/1
5 HomeLife paper towels $.99, -5 $1/1
5 Bushel Boy life lettuce $1.79, -5 $2/1
1 YoBaby 6pk $3.64, -Free coupon
2 Marie Calendar 16oz pot pies $2.75
10 Chef Boyardee ravioli $1, -2 $.35/3
5 McCormick Mexican seasoning packets $.80 -2 $.25/2, -5/$3 Cub coupon
3 Peter Pan $1.66, -$1/1
-$2 OYNO coupon
Total OOP $26.50, received $10 OYNO coupon
Total Spent $26.82
Total spending for the month $85.81
Total left for the month $2.84 + $10 OYNO
So...all in all I am under budget again this month. I did have quite a lot of extra money to spend this month that's to the Planters Nuts overage. It made it easier to stock up on things like the sausage and ravioli.

All You Magazine
I don't think I have talked about it before but there is a magazine only sold at Walmart called "All You." It has a ton of coupons in it and is fairly cheap, $1.77. I usually only flip through it if I happen to be at Walmart, but today I bought three mags. They are the Aug 29, light purple issue.
Towards the back of the mag is a page with 5 "free when you buy" Kraft coupons. They are;
Free Wheat Thins up to $4.50
Free 16oz Kraft Dressing up to $3.20
Free Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs $4.51
Free Crystal light up to $4.50
Free Kraft Singles 12oz up to $4.00
There are the same as the tearpad coupons where you need to buy 3 products from the participating brands(excludes single serve). The brands are Kraft, Nabisco, and Oscar Mayer. Koolaid is made by Kraft. The best way to use these coupons is to buy 3 koolaid packets, being they are not single serve.
There is also a $1/1 Peter Pan coupon that can be used together with the buy $20 get $10 OYNO at Cub this week. By putting the two offers together you can get free peanut butter, plus a small overage for each coupon used.
Another coupon to use this week is the $1/2 Kid Cuisine. They are also part of the but $20 get $10 OYNO. After the coupon and the $10 print out the average out to $.61 each. This coupon and the Peter Pan are on a postcard sided insert in the middle of the magazine.
There are many other coupons you might be interested in. I just wanted to highlight the Free WYB and the ones to use at Cub this week.

Homelife Paper Products
Noah and I went looking for the HomeLife products today.
They didn't seem to have a spot on the shelf for the 120 count napkins. I did find the $.99 rolls of paper towels the coupons did beep on these, but the CSM said just to put them through. I also find small square boxes of tissues. The regular are 88 count and the "with aloe" kind are 66 count. I opted for the with aloe. It says "compare to Kleenex with aloe." I don't think they are quite as good, but they seem a little softer then just regular Kleenex.
The rolls of paper towels seemed to be much smaller when compared visually to Bounty, but the number of square feet per roll was pretty close. I don't remember exactly what each one had, but I want to say it was something like 88 for HomeLife and maybe 100 for Bounty. Like I said, not real sure.
I didn't find any paper plates that were less then $2.50, not a great deal, but not bad after the coupon if you need them. They also had paper cups, 24 for $1.99, still not great, but alright after the coupon if you need them.
I checked on the toilet paper, but the cheapest I could find was $2.59 for 4 rolls. Not a good deal at all. I have heard that there is a 4pk for $1.49, might just be that my Cub is smaller and doesn't carry that variety.

Free Paper Products
There is a new coupon out at some Cub stores. It looks like a blinkie, but is in a small cardboard box instead. The coupons is for $1/1 Any Homelife Paper Product. The boxes have been found next to the paper towels.
There are three or four different homelife products that are $.99 or $1. Some of them are on sale this week and some of them are regular price.
These are the items that I have found to be free so far.
120 count napkins $1.00(sale price for just this week)
Small roll of "Awesome" paper towels $.99
Kleenexes $1
I'm hoping to get a change to scout things out without Noah some time within the next few days. I'll post an update with what I find.

Monthly Budget Update
I didn't have much time for blogging last week so I spend it on the list instead of updating the budget when I got things. I, once again, am down a couple of receipts, but except for Tuesday remember what I got.
I made a trip to Cub last week each day, but Wednesday for grapes. I didn't go just for grapes usually and I only stopped because we were already out, can't really justify driving to get free grapes when gas is so expensive.

My CVS sob story
I went into CVS last Tuesday. When I was checking out the lady said that they will no longer be excepting expired ECBs, not even a day past the date. This was not good news because all my ECBS were either expired or would expire before the end of the week. I had over $50. She said that she would take them this time and that I could go home and figure out what I needed to get with them.
I went home and tried for the next three days to figure out how to roll my ECBs so that I wouldn't loose them. I finally got a plan together so Friday night I went in to see what I would end up with.
This was my wonderful plan. I needed to spend $52.xx
3 Benifiber 3x$6.79=$20.37
1 4x6 photo book=$3.99
2 6x8 photo books=$15.98
2 Netragena Mascara 2x$5.99=$11.98
1 Bayer Heart Advanced $4.99
2 CVS pads 2x$.99=$1.98
Total before coupons would have been $59.29
Coupons I was planning on using
2 $3 off photo book=$6
3 $2 off Benefiber=$6
2 $1 off Netragena=$2
1 $2.50 off Bayer=$2.50
Total coupons used=$16.50
Total after coupons $42.79
I would have used my ECBs on this and gotten milk with the rest. In the end I should have made
$19.97 For photo books
$10 for Benefiber
$8 for Netragena
$2 for Bayer
$1.98 for pads
Total $41.95
That's only a difference of $.84. I think that is great. Unfortunately they were out of everything, but photo books and the pads.
I ended up leaving with nothing because although, the two employees were helpful when it came to trying to make the photo books, they had never made one or worked with the program. In the end the store closed while I was still trying to get the books set up.
I went back on Saturday hoping that they might let me prepay for the items I was wanting so that I could use my coupons and ECBs on them and then receive the new ECBs and just pick up the products as they were in stock. I really didn't even care if I got most of them. I just didn't want to loose so much money in ECBs and have to start over from scratch.
That didn't end up happening, but in the end the manager wrote on my ECBs that they should be taken even though they are expired. I was able to make the one small photo book and get the monthly limit on the pantyliners so I was able to roll a little bit of my ECBs. I think I spent $12.66 for the photo book, liners, and 2 gallons of whole milk. I got back $5.97. Not as good as I had hoped, but with the expired ECBs I still have $46.93 to spend, roll, grow.

This weeks list
So I haven't been able to get a list made the last couple of weeks. I've started a couple of times, but they have always ended up in the draft file. I'm going to try again and hopefully I will get it done this time.
It seems to be slim pickings this week at most places. It's actually nice because I have been running to this store or that store the last couple of weeks so I am looking forward to staying home a little bit.

Alright, I know there are some great deals going on at both Walgreens and CVS. I really haven't been keeping up with them lately. At this point I am pretty out of the loop and don't want to spend another three hours tonight working on them. I need to make a list for my own shopping before the end of the week so I will try to post that. Night all.

Alright, I know there are some great deals going on at both Walgreens and CVS. I really haven't been keeping up with them lately. At this point I am pretty out of the loop and don't want to spend another three hours tonight working on them. I need to make a list for my own shopping before the end of the week so I will try to post that. Night all.
