After finally getting the energy to go I decided to just walk around the store until I found what I wanted to buy. I found my fav. face wash on sale so I grabbed one of those. Jordan likes bagels... perfect. And juice, I can't go wrong with juice! I even had 2 coupons for the Simply kind! So after using my 2 coupons and my $12 catalinas the total out of pocket I paid were 2 pennies!!! :)

My 2011 Savings and Spending Log
This blog was created for the purpose of tracking my savings and out of pocket spending this year and determining how much I actually save by searching for the best deals and using coupons. To anyone interested in following along, go for it! I'm extremely curious what my total savings and actual spending will end up being.

Late night Fry's run
I totally forgot about my Fry's catalinas I got a week ago! I had $12 worth that expire tonight! That's a lot of $$ not to use so I had to muster up the energy to run to the store. Although I love to coupon and save money, sometimes I just don't feel like getting up and going. First, I had NO IDEA what to spend it on and secondly, I didn't want to get dressed. I was already in my pjs.

Walmart and Walgreens Run!!
I spent only $1.05 for over $40 worth of stuff at Walmart!
There's an AWESOME deal at Walgreens on the Fruity Pebbles cereal cups!! Buy 5 and use the in-ad coupon to make them all .79, then pay $3.95 (plus tax) and get back $8RR's!!! That's a $4 Money Maker!!!! The best thing about this deal is that you don't need any other coupons except the ones provided in the store ad!!! Yay! :)
I made 3 different transactions...
1st) 5 fruity pebbles, 4 reach toothbrushes: paid $7.80 and got back $8RR's (for the cereal) and $4RR's (for the toothbrushes)
2nd) 5 fruity pebbles and a filler candy bar: paid with my $4RR from the toothbrushes and it came to .71 and got back $8RR's
3rd) 5 fruity pebbles, 2 pedia care infant care: paid only $2.82 and got back $8 RR's
Total out of pocket was $11.33 but I now have $24 in RR's to spend!!!

I'm loving the new Walmart Coupon Policy!
Walmart updated their coupon policy allowing customers to use coupons even if they are over the value of the item! You can use that extra amount on the remaining items of your order or get cash back!!!
Here's what I did:
6 Similac @ $3.84 each
4 bags of cat food @ 1.00 each
1 Purex @ .97
1 Gain sheets @ 1.87
----total before coupons $29.88
Used-
(2) $10/3 Similac
(4) $1.50/1 cat food
(1) $3/1 Purex
(1) $3/1 Gain
----total after coupons $-2.12 (taxes added $.93) = I got paid $1.17!!!
