Ok, maybe not exciting to most, but I had someone say they missed me sending e-mails detailing my coupon shopping trips. A week ago we had one of the best ever so I thought I would do a break down of it here. For this particular shopping trip I spent $21.24 and 'saved' $73.23 - I write 'saved' that way since if it was not for the sale, coupons and the fact this store takes competitors store coupons I would not be shopping there. :p But it is a fun number to see. :) $5.25 of my total was newspapers, we buy 3 Sunday Oregonians every week (as well as 1 News~Register) mostly for the coupons. But in a family our size, 3 sets of comics does not hurt either. (and when we hit 'birthday season' the kids use the comics for their wrapping paper)
Anyway - here is what I got for about $16 (no, it does not quite add up right, no idea why, but stopped worrying about it, not worth the stress)
4 - GUM Toothbrushes .25 each
20 - Dannon Yogurt - .30 each
3 - bottle Ken's Salad Dressing - FREE
3 - bottle Ken's Salad Spritzer - FREE
3 - loaves Sara Lee Bread - FREE
6 - pouches Purina Cat Treats - .25 each
6 - 6pk boxes of Sun Maid Raisins - .50 each
3 - Doz. Med. Eggs - $1 each
There you have it ~ It was a fun trip. :) This weeks trip, not quite so exciting. Spent $14.50 and 'saved' $22 ~ we got 9 boxes of Kleenex, 10 cans Campbells tomato soup and one package of flour tortillas - all things we needed.
