Saved 76% This Week

I didn't get to Schnucks this week to pick up the money-making Pillsbury Grands! Hopefully, I'll get there over the weekend. I'm tired of winter and want to hibernate. The best part of couponing and stocking up is that I wouldn't have had to leave the house this week.

Shop 'n Save

I wasn't going to go to Shop 'n Save this week until Kelly reported Kahiki and Riceland Rice was on sale. I quick put a list together and planned on getting a $10 Catalina coupon for buying 10 Kellogg's products. To my surprise, I not only got the $10 coupon, but another one for $4.

I finally got to use my free coupons for International Delight. I had been hanging on to them until a $10 off $50 Thursday was offered, and of course, I also used my $5 off $50 coupon from the Entertainment book. My picture is short 2 packages of Small Step's Napkins I picked up last weekend.

Before sales & coupons: $87.29
Total spent: $17.06 (and $14 back in Catalinas)
Total saved: $70.23 for 80%

Dierbergs

I made money buying the Kraft Salad Dressing last weekend using the manufacturer's coupon from Shop 'n Save's ad, and getting a $3 Catalina. Thanks, Nicole, for finding that great deal.

I was getting desperately low on toilet paper - the family was very relieved I was able to find Charmin at my "buy price." They are toilet paper snobs, and don't think they can live with the cheap stuff.

Before sales & coupons: $33.27
Total spent: $6.77
Total saved: $26.50 for 80%

Walgreens

I didn't get to Walgreens until late on Friday. I wouldn't have gone if I didn't have $5 in Register Rewards expiring. Not that the deals weren't good, I just don't need any personal products.

Before sales & coupons: $16.24
Total spent: $1.72
Total saved: $14.52 for 89%

Comparable Schnucks price: $16.42

Splurge Funds: $55.48

For those who don't read my blog on a regular basis, my splurge funds are the difference between what I've actually spent and my $50 budget. They are for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
