My All You magazine had a $10.00 survey in it as well.

So after I get back my $10.00 and count my $5.50 in RR I spent $17.88 plus tax. I don't count tax on my total OOP because I want you to see what the actual total is after coupons. My husband was very proud and couldn't believe how well I did. I spent maybe an hour planning this all out and gathering all my coupons but if I hadn't I would have spent almost $80.00!

I will post some of the deals I see for this week in another post.

Not much in the way of sales...

This week is another slow week for sales. There are a couple of good deals to be had. If you have the $2.00 off Suave shampoo coupon from a few weeks ago you can can get 3 bottles for .67 cents at Target. That's cheaper than Wal-Mart.

Ban deoderant is on sale at Walgreens and there are $1.00 off coupons in this months issue of the All You magazine. Cheerios are on sale for $1.99 and you can print $1.00 off coupons here making it .99 cents a box.

Let me know what great deals you find this week.

My most awesome Wal-Mart trip....


Check out my recent trip to Wal-Mart. I got everything in the picture for $4.02 plus tax. Here's how I did it....

4 bags of Malt O meal $4.00 minus 4 $1.00 off coupons
1 pkg Oscar Meyer hot dogs $2.48 minus coupon FREE
3 packs of kool-aid $.80 to get free hot dogs
1 pkg Kraft cheese $2.98 minus coupon FREE
3 pkgs of Kraft mac n cheese $1.50 to get free cheese
2 pkgs Kotex pantyliners $2.00 minus 2 $1.00 off coupons
4 4 pack TAVA (this is really good) $7.92 minus 4 $1.50 off coupons

A nice lady was giving out free samples of razors so I got 2 razors free. Both had coupons in the box.

I went today and stocked up on Eggo waffles and sent in my $10.00 rebate so they will cost me tax plus the cost of the stamp.

Lots of good deals and new coupons this week....

The Sunday paper has 3 inserts plus the big Kellogg's insert. Go by QT and get 2 for $2.00. The All You magazine is out at Wal-Mart and full of great coupons! I'm going to be busy tomorrow cutting out all my coupons.

MoneySavingMom is on vacation this week but check out this blog for some good Walgreen's deals.

If you've printed the $1.00 off Malt-O-meal cereal coupons and can't find the $1.00 bags at Wal-Mart you can get them for a $1.00 a bag at Warehouse Market.

Would love to hear what great deals you find this week.
