WAG’s was FANTASTIC for me this week. Seriously, the most RR’s I’ve ever tended to hang onto at once has been $11, and the most ECB’s has been around $20, because I get tired of rushing out to roll those things on stuff I don’t need, and just let them expire while I take a few months off. There are times when I’d rather just lose them than feel controlled by them. This week we got resupplied with some things we needed, some supplies for the grandkids, a bit of TP, GoodNites, and lots of other goodies.
OOP < $10 plus tax
Value $297
Saved ~ 96%
Gained $30 more in RR than I started with. That should at least give me GoodNite security for a couple of weeks.

Kroger – 3 gal. milk, 4 loaves bread, all on clearance for $1 and .50
Value $13.74 before markdown
OOP – $0 (pd. w/OYNO cat from previous battery purchase)
Saved $13.74 100%

Publix
Value – $24
OOP – $3.50
Saved – $20.50 (~85%)

Bi-Lo – Was able to redeem some rainchecks
Value – $25.50
OOP – $0.50
Saved – $25 (98%)

Also purchased $36 worth of Swaddlers at RA for $17.50, and 3 packs of wipes at Target for $1.53 (value $4.53), but they were for someone else. So, I’m not including those purchases.

Altogether, still had some miserably sick people to care for at home and their duties to take over, grandkiddos here for part of the week, but I had fun at WAG’s this week because those are quick runs, and didn’t take advantage of deals I liked at grocery stores because the weather was miserable and I didn’t feel like the hours it takes me to set up to grocery shop or do the shopping. I only stopped at stores when I had to pass them during necessary trips. So, no extra fuel expenses. I saved more real money and sanity by not shopping than by going. I also spent the least that I have spent during any week this year.

Weekly totals:
Value – $360.24
OOP – $13
Saved – $346.76

value: $56.56
spent: $13.48
saved: $43.08 or 76%
I’ve also got 2 rebates to send in for $3.31 each.
I also ended up with 500 fuel points from for november, so I can save 50 cents per gallon on gas this month!!

CVS: gillette body wash and deodorant, nyquil, dayquil, accuchek

value: $76.99
spent: $1.60 (all tax from gillette)
saved: $75.39 or 98% and I ended up with $3 few ECBs then I started with

Totals:

value: $133.55
spent: $15.08
saved: $118.47 or about 88%

On my first transaction, I actually went negative by .25, so, the cashier asked me to grab a pack of gum…my total then came to .54 for $72 worth of stuff!!!

That was definitely a RUSH!

I am still learning…having a blast…thanks for all you do….do you ever get used to the looks you get…makes you feel like you are stealing merchandise when you walk out of stores saving so much!!!

My best deals of the week were at Bloom: I made two trips so I could use two of the $10 coupons. I spent $4.72 OOP for $125+ worth of groceries!

YEA!!!

Looks like Georgia might get a taste of snow tonight or in the morning.

I will watch for flurries of any size~!
