Saved 77% This Week

This week, I finally squeezed under my budget - $49.90. The deals have been too good to pass up, so my freezer and pantry are full. I'm getting to the point it won't matter how good the future deals are, I won't have any place to put them.

Target

This picture and my totals represent several trips to Target. I don't seem to have much luck when I use more than 10 to 12 coupons at a time. The cashier seems to miss some and I can't keep track of what they are doing when I use more than that. I do stop at Customer Service when coupons are missed, but I really don't like the hassle. My cashier gave me the total value on the coupons when I purchased a product for less than the coupon amount. The overage paid for the rest of the Bounce bars and some socks for the kids.

Shop 'n Save

I drive to South County to take advantage of a store offering the $10 off $50 purchase on Thursday. It's a little bit further than the store I usually shop at, but not $10 worth of gas further. I used a $5 Catalina coupon and received a $10 Catalina coupon to use next week.
