Remember: You want multiple coupons to use when a product is at a rock bottom price. When it's a good coupon insert week, I purchase 4 or 5 papers and sometimes acquire more. At first, I thought it was crazy to spend money to save money. But I've always saved much more than my investment.

Sam's Club is still selling the Sunday Post-Dispatch at a reduced price, $1.50. Dollar Tree and DEAL$ no longer sell the paper.

Saved 79% This Week

CVS

Two transactions at CVS this week. On the first transaction, I used the $5 off $25 coupon I received via email,  a coupon for free Nice 'n Easy Foam,  $5  ECB I had from last week, and coupons for Crest and Allegra - spent $3.97 and got back $1 ECB for buying  Nice 'n Easy, $5 ECB for Crest, $6.99 for Allegra and a $1 ECB from my Green Bag Tag.

My CVS didn't have much Diet Coke in on Sunday, so I went back later in the week, after the Coke vendor had replenished the shelves.  I'm glad I did.  $0.50 peelies on all the bottles!  I spent $.50 on 13 bottles of Diet Coke after peelies and spending a $6 a ECB.

I started the week with a $5 ECB and ended with $12.99 worth of ECBs.  It was a very good week at CVS for me.

Before sales & coupons: $58.71
Spent: $4.47
Saved: $54.24 for a 92% savings

Target

I love the Pedigree deal going on at Target.  And, I used my $5 Giftcard I still had from the frozen food deal to pay for the dog food.

Before sales & coupons: $19.96
Spent: $0.00
Saved: $19.96 for a 100% savings

Walgreens

I spent more than I like for a week at Walgreens, but I started out with no Register Rewards and ended the week with $11.  I shouldn't complain.

Before sales & coupons: $34.49
Spent: $7.27
Saved: $27.22 for a 79% savings

Dierbergs

Before sales & coupons: $33.89

Splurge Funds: $314.42

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, don't have coupons for, or when I'm over budget.

Last year, I spent my extra splurge funds for a freezer. This year, I'm saving them to redo my pantry.
