Sharing Savings – 7/31 Edition

July 30, 2010

I did a decent amount shopping this week. Here’s a quick recap of my trips.

I did the Crayola catalina deal at Kroger, and ended up with almost-free bath tissue and blueberries. I love using catalinas to get things we need! I also have some crayons to donate to worthy causes.

I also did my shopping for the Two-Week Cooking Project. (If you’re new to this idea, it’s like once-a-month-cooking but on a slightly smaller – and less intimidating - scale. It’s not too late to join us! You can catch up on all the posts over HERE.) I ended up spending just over $90 at Kroger for two weeks’ worth of meals and some other great sale items.

My other Kroger stop was last Sunday. I got free Crest toothpaste and $10 worth of catalinas.

I only went to CVS once this week, and I only bought one item. The good news is that I gained $1.99 in ECBs with $0 spending out-of-pocket. I guess that makes it a good CVS week, right?

Sharing Savings – 7/24 Edition

July 24, 2010

I did a lot more shopping than usual this week. Here’s a quick recap of my trips.

I made two CVS stops this week. On my first CVS trip, I spent $3.88 and saved $21.98 (85%). On my second CVS trip I spent $3.96 and saved $20.00 (83%). I only need to scan my little shopping bag tag one more time to get my $1.00 ECB. I have to remember to start taking that with me!!

I made a lunch hour stop at Walmart. I don’t usually shop there, but I had heard that they had the Finish automatic dishwasher starter kits on sale. I ended up spending $9.35 for $26.35 worth of merchandise. I also got to use up some coupons that would have expired soon.

We had done a pretty good sized restocking trip at Kroger last Saturday. We spent $74.06 and saved $106.78. Be sure to check out my clearance razor find and how I ended up with SIX jars of yeast for $.89 each! I made a quick run through Kroger at lunchtime yesterday, mainly to take advantage of the 10 Item Mega Event. Yesterday I was able to save 63% using just printable coupons!
