I have only been shopping once this week.

Today I had to pickup fruit to make a fruit salad for work tomorrow. We are BBQ'ing so that is what I signed up to bring. I love leftover/extra fruit rather than tons of extra potato salad for leftovers at home.

I went to Walmart and the big deal of the day was they rolled back the price on the chocolate honey bunches of oats. They are now $1.98 a box, I purchased three boxes with three $2 off coupons, I LOVE FREE. I was able to find two coupons online and then I received the third a non-internet one from a coupon trading buddy.

I bought other stuff also but that was the best deal of the day for me at Wal-mart. my DH was there because he needed a birthday card to a party tonight and put the card on the counter and jokingly said sorry could not find a coupon for the card. After the lady finished ringing up my purchases she said those were some good coupons. I love good coupons, I love when the cashier gets excited about my deals!

My DH called me at work he said he had a bowl of the chocolate Honey Bunches of Oats. I said to him that they are good aren't they. He said "yeah, but I could not find an open box so I had to open a new one". We were talking about it and how I actually made 6 cents off buying it, and he said, "Are groceries FREE now?" LOL I had to explain that was why the cashier said "Those were some good coupons". Slowly but surely my DH is realizing a person (ME) can shop using coupons and take a huge chunk out of the cost of eatting.

CVS was not very exciting this week because I already bought all the FREE/Moneymaker April deals, except I still have three of the $1.99 Lumene Body Aktive Skin Care tubes to keep a look out for. I am really looking forward to the sale the last week of april/first week of May.

So this week I bought the buy two stomach remedies get $10 extra bucks.

My order
1 Gas-x 18 ct Chewable 5.69
1 Gas-x 18 ct thin strips 5.69
1 clearance item 1.00

Total 12.38 plus tax
minus $1 off Gas-x product
minus $1 off Gas-x product
minus $10 CVS bucks from last trip
Subtotal $.38 with tax $.52 Out of Pocket
Because I used the two $1 off coupons I actually made the Gas-x only cost $9.38 so with the $10 Extra bucks I made $.62.

I want to post a picture of the $1 clearance item, but that may have to wait. We have our basement in boxes due to the sheetrocking and do not know what I did with the cable for my camera. The $1 clearance item which after subtracting the $.62 really only cost me $.38 was a paperdoll dressed in hair scrunchees, barrettes, and clips. The regular price was $1.99, I thought it would be a great item to add to my rubbermaid tote filled with gifts. I think that paired with another little something is going to work great for my DS godmother's daughters birthday.

They had some V05 shampoo on sale for $.66 so I could have gotten it for $.04 out of pocket but I have alot of shampoo and I really like the paperdoll it is so cute.
