Saved 73% This Week

The stars aligned at Shop 'n Save this week. I wish Thursday wouldn't have been so HOT, or I would have gone back for more. I admire the people who told me they made multiple trips to Shop 'n Save in this heat.

Shop 'n Save

The deals were fantastic this week. I shopped on Thursday, so not only did I take advantage of the $10 off $50 Thursday, but used a $5 off $50 coupon from the Entertainment book, and a $5 Catalina from last week's Kraft deal. I had coupons for free 20 oz. Cokes from My Coke Rewards and coupons for free Hormel Bacon bits wyb bagged salad. The best part is I received a $10 Catalina coupon for my Keebler purchase. I got paid to shop!

(The next three pictures)

This purchase was from last Sunday. I paid $11 after coupons and got back a $10 Catalina.

I turned around with the next transaction and purchased Eckert's peaches with the Catalina I had just received. Paid - 12 cents for this transaction.

Splurge Funds: $285.57

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. I use it for those items I never find on sale or that I don't have coupons for.
