It was my first week back couponing and it took a little longer to get back into the groove than I'd like, but I got some good deals (and some crazy ones!)
I skipped Walgreens altogether. I've decided that it can be a pain in the butt if you don't have something you REALLY want to get for cheap/free. The biggest deal there last week was sunscreen and I decided I could live without 2 sunscreens for $1.50ish.
SO... here's what went down this week (LOTS of getting ready for back to school and having kids over in the afternoons)
Publix
4 Crystal Light Drink Mix
6 Klondike Bars
1 Del Monte Peaches
1 Juicy Fruit (took Thing 1... had to pay him off!)
1 Italian Sub Sandwich (off task a bit)
1 Chocolate muffins (WAY off task!)
8 Capri Sun Boxes
4 Nabisco Snack boxes
2 Deer Park 12 packs
4 Lucky Charms
Total OOP $43.51 (before tax) Savings $76.44 (over 60% savings even with off task items!)
I had another Publix run that was ALL blueberries, but I don't have the receipt. They were a GOOD deal last week at $1.60(ish) per pint. I stocked up (and they disappeared just as quick as I stocked up)
Kroger
Craziness abounded at Kroger this week with their $5 off 10 item sale AND some hidden money back deals.
I'm missing one of my receipts, so I can't give you the low-down from it, but it was around $15ish (I think) OOP for
3 - Coke 2 liters
2 - Lady Speed Stick Deodorant
2 - OB
2 - Carefree
2 - Chewy Granola Bars
1 - Special K Bar
1 - Nesquick
1 - Gallon Milk
2nd, 3rd and 4th trip combined...
20 Amp Energy Drinks (ended up free)
2 Gallons Milk
1 3 pack Juicy Fruit
1 3 pack Double Mint
2 Dole Pineapple
12 Dole Fruit Cups
2 Special K Bars
4 Quaker Granola Bars
4 Soft Soap Hand Soap
2 Chiquita Apple Slices
3 Chex Mix
10 lbs Tyson Boneless Chicken Breasts
4 lbs cherries
Total OOP $47.11 total savings $85.53 (over 60% savings for the 2-4th trips) with $2.25 in kroger coupons to use on my next purchase (which I used today to buy this week's sunday paper!)
CVS
It's the right time to stock up on school supplies at stores like CVS and Walgreens...they're doing sales definitely as loss-leaders, hoping you'll buy more while you're there that's NOT on sale. I have had several $10 off of a $50 purchase coupons lately which are HARD to use when you're trying to keep your out of pocket expenses as low as possible and not end up with too many Extra Care Bucks to carry over to the next week. I didn't end up getting the photo books that I'd wanted and had to get rain-checks on several school supply items.
Here's how I did... starting the week with $3.50 ECB (there are some odd ball things in here!)... notice, things did not go as planned... but oh well!
2 - Rulers
2 - Notebooks (the kind with paper in them)
1 - Pencil Sharpener
2 - Pink/Purple/Green pen packs for ME (love me some purple and pink pens!!!)
2 - Glucose Meters (donating... they were free after coupon and helped get my total above $50)
2 - Tylenol
4 - Dr. Pepper
2 - Mounds Bars (yum!)
Total OOP $10.20 savings of $208.98... (crazy because of the glucose meters... 95% savings)
ECB back $19 (which you'll see in next week's plan...that I've already started on)
Total OOP for the week... $125ish total savings... can't calculate because I'm missing a receipt. :(
Hoping for less OOP this week!

Week of 05/17 - Weekly Wrap-up Kroger
My Kroger trip this week was very brief and very focused.... and I forgot the main thing that I went for.... California Pizza Kitchen Pizzas!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!
Oh well. Life goes on without BBQ chicken pizza. My homemade version is much better anyways (but the frozen kind is faster sometimes!)
Here is the list from Kroger this week. Again, most of this list is going to the food pantry. I just made this pit-stop at Kroger to get the pizza... then I FORGOT the pizza!!!!!!!!!!
Here's what I DID come home with...
8 Kool-Aid Cannisters
4 Dial Handsoap
(it's not like this was the longest list in history... I have NO clue how I spaced out and forgot the pizza!)
Total OOP = $5.62
Total Savings = $29.08 84%

Week of 04/26/09 - Kroger Wrap Up
I initially thought there was nothing I needed at Kroger this week.... THEN I decided that it had a lot of good stuff and I'd also use it as my primary produce/protein stop as well. THAT didn't happen....but I did still pick up a few good bargains. I'm hoping next week has good sales... I haven't seen the sale ad yet!
Here's the wrap up from this week...
2 - Honey Nut Cheerios
1 – McCormick Grill Seasonings (FREE!)
2 – Soft Soap Hand Soap
1 – Almay Eye-Shadow (30 cents!!!)
2 – Healthy Choice frozen meals
3 – Revlon Nail-clippers (free!)
1 – Sara Lee Bread
Total $6.67 oop
Savings 25.94 = 79%
I didn’t get the paper-towels (didn’t have the coupon I listed in my plan) and had to get a rain-check for the rice. 8 bags of rice is a LOT of rice, but it’s free and I’m sure that the food-bank can use it. I primarily WENT to Kroger to get that rice since it was free, but didn’t have time to finish everything. My total would have been higher with less savings since the rest of my list was more produce and protein oriented…. But it will just have to be in my wrap up NEXT week since I’m going tomorrow. I hope there are some good sales still!

Week of 4/19/09 - The Big Wrap Up
This was a bit of a wacky week.
LOTS of bargains, but one big time bust at Publix that's going to ruin my over-all savings percentages.
(and just in case I dare forget... I will repeat once more... I will not take my kids shopping!!!!)
I skipped Walgreens and Rite Aid this week.... nothing free that I couldn't live without and nothing spectacular that caught my eye in either ad.
So... here's the rundown for the week. CVS, Publix and Kroger
We'll start with CVS...
I went to CVS hoping to find the Dove Skin Revitalizer that was supposed to be $4.00, since I had a $3.50 off coupon. Unfortunately... none of the stores I visited (and I went to several) had them in stock. Oh well...
What I DID find was deodorant... on SALE big-time!
Addidas Deodorant. One particular fragrance is being discontinued, so it was marked down to $2.50. I had a $1 off coupon AND there were ECB (extra care bucks)! That was a surprise. Had I known, I would have done the deal a little differently, but here's what I bought...
4 - Addidas deodorants @ $2.50 (hoping that Thing 1 or Thing 2 likes this... if not...then these are for charity)
used 4 - $1/off coupons. Total out of pocket $6.00 - received $6 ECB ($2 ECB for each deodorant... limit of 3. Had I know about the ECB, I would have split the purchase into 2 different ones so that I'd get all the ECBs possible)
Savings $10.00 = 100%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Publix
3 – Crystal Light Drink Mix
4 – Quaker Chewy Granola Bars
2 – Betty Crocker Potatoes
2 – Ken’s Steak House Marinade
1 – Pam Cooking Spray
1 – Burt’s Bees Chapstick (oy!)
1 – Oberto Beef Jerky (oy!!!!)
1 – Gum (aaaaaahhhh!)
1 – Mad Magazine (I am SUCH a pushover!!!)
3 – Sub Sandwiches - I shouldn't include this since it was an "out to eat" dinner, but I'm going to because I DID buy it with the groceries.
(had to get a rain check for the Fast Fixins Roasted Chicken)
Total OOP = $42.50
Savings = $26.50 - 38%
(that's funny... I was beating myself up for spending too much on this trip, and I saved 38% even WITH including an "out to eat" meal!!) .... but I STILL won't take Thing 1 and Thing 2 shopping again!!!!
and my big WOO HOO of the week....

Week of 3/29 - Kroger Wrap Up
Kroger was my big-kahuna shopping trip this week. Our refrigerator/freezer broke back in the winter and I threw out basically everything we'd stocked up... meats/condiments/frozen dinners/veggies EVERYTHING had to go.
So, I've had to replace a lot of that and hopefully, after this week, there won't be quite as much stock-up going on. I did wait for Kroger to have some great chicken prices to stock up on that. Hopefully I won't be having any more of these big bills, but I did save a TON and anything extra I bought that I might not normally have (like the spices) were free. Gotta love FREE!
Here's the list....
2 - Big K Soda 2 Liter bottles (there was no coke on sale and we were TRYING to adapt... we'll stick w/ Coke and stock up when it's on sale from now on)
2 – Breakstone Sour Cream
1 – Oberto Beef jerkey (5.99 – don’t let kids go w/ you to the store!!!)
6 – Dr. Pepper 2 liter
12 – Yoplait Yogurt
4 – Pillsbury Biscuits/Sweet Rolls
3 - Herbal Essence Shampoo/Conditioner
4 – Suave Deodorant (charity purchase were 16 cents each)
2 - Soft Soap Hand Soap
1 – Kroger Antacid (yuck… returning this one…must stay w/ brand-name)
12 pack Big K Cola
1 – Oreos (my full price splurge)
3 Venus Disposable Razors
2 Gallons Milk
Tortillas
Hot Dog Buns
5 lb Boneless Chicken Breasts
2 lb Ground Turkey
Plastic spoons
2 - Dannon Yogurt drink
Kroger Freezer bag
Renuzit Air Freshener
Franks Red Hot Sauce
3 - Dole Fruit cups
Kroger Peanut Butter
2 - Life Cereal
2 – Quaker Snack bars
Pilsbury Crescent Rolls
3 lbs green grapes
2 – smoked Sausage
1 – Hummus
1 – Mustard
1 – Heinz Ketchup
4 - No Yolks Noodles (WOW! 4 cents each!!)
3 - Cake Mixes (WOW 30 cents each!)
3 – Mustard (WOW 25 cents each!!)
4 – 24oz blocks Cheese
1 – Avocado
3 – Sargento Salad Finishers
4 – Bertoli Frozen Meals
5 – McCormick Grill Mates Spices (FREE FREE FREE!!)
2 – Sunday Papers
Total Out of Pocket $156.17
after sales and coupons I saved 51% - $166.38
