Monthly Totals

Hey everyone. I wanted to share my monthly totals and ask you all to do the same. It's so encouraging to see everyone's great savings! So either post about it on your blog and leave a link or just post a comment!!

May 2009
Spent: $481.06
Weekly: $120.26
Saved: $387.88
80% savings:)

My total is a little high because of Gage's birthday party. I'm really going to get my weekly average down this month!!

Okay, on to my brag moment. I know I've told most of you about my amazing shopping trip this week, but I just had to show pictures!! Never fully understood why the other blogs took the time to do this, but now I do!! You can't fully appreciate all I got until you see it!!!

6 bags of dog food, but gave two to Jackie!

12 bags of dog treats

4 bottles of mustard

1 24 oz. ketchup (FREE from mailer coupon)

1 8 0z. Casade dishwasher rinse (FREE from mailer coupon)

2 bottles of Fantastic

This is my stash I've been gathering for the past couple of weeks!

Also included in the purchase: 9 cases of Capri Suns!!!

(I had to remove these from the Hotwater heater...Carl said they'd catch fire!)

Cheap Milk at CVS

Just noticed that CVS has it's great T.G. Lee/McArthur Milk Deal!! Here's the details.

Get $1 ECB wyb One Gallon Milk 1%, 2%, whole or skim at $2.79

Here's the great deal, though. T.G. Lee has a $1.00 off coupon here!!! Just hit the back button a couple of times and it will print two times.

The site does say there is a two coupon print per two month period...per computer!

Also, I have found at my store that typically the Whole Milk is the only T.G. Lee product on sale. But I will check when I go in this week and report back! Either way, it's still a great deal on milk!!!

Great Deals

This week Walgreens is having a great deal on a Bayer Breeze 2 Meter (for diabetics). You get $10 RR when you buy one for $10.00. The great news is that you can make $10.00 when you use the $30 coupon found in several of the past papers. Even if you don't need the meter, you can always donate it!!!

So, if you're in need of some of these coupons, I have tons and would love to share!!!

Also, I have been getting some requests for a Coupon Sharing Group. I think it would be a great idea and will be working on the details! If you're interested, please let me know. And also tell me when it would be a good time for you to meet (morning, afternoon, evening and what day of the week!!). Thanks!!

FREE Diapers

I've talked about this before, but wanted to let you know about it again!

I just got my second set of diapers (for FREE!) from Arquest. They are a Mother Panel Research Group and specifically work with diaper companies. The process is simple. You sign up, they call when the size diapers you want are available. You agree to do the study and they send you the diapers (either 1,2 or 3 packs of diapers...20 in each pack!). You finish the diapers, fill out a quick survey and then they call (which is scheduled beforehand) for your answers. Once completed, they mail you a $10 Thank You Check!!!

The first time I did it I received Pampers diapers. After the experience I called to see how I could do it again and within a couple weeks, they called me again!!! This time around I got the Wal-Mart brand, but still it's 20 FREE diapers!!!

Here's the contact information. They may not have the size you need immediately, but leave a message anyway and they will call (when I called the first time Gage was in a 3, but I told them either a 3 or 4...that might help you get diapers a little faster!!!).

Girls:
1-888-DIAPER2 Ext.646 (Georgia)

Boys:

Cheap, Cheap Goes the Chicken!!

Just got the Sweetbay ad in the mail and starting tomorrow (Wednesday, May 20th) they are offering Boneless, Skinless Chicken for $1.79 a lb. Now, this really gets me excited because the cheapest I've ever found it was $1.99. So clear out your freezers and STOCK UP!!

Also, they still have:
Philly Cream Cheese $.99
Kraft Singles 2/$4
(Please note that starting tomorrow Publix has these BOGO at $2.59 and you can use two coupons...one manufactor and one Target making it $.29 each...a way better deal!! Check out Southern Savers for more details!).
Cool Whip $1.19 (use the IPQ from Coupons.com and they're $.69 each!!).
Capri Suns (Sunrise brand included) 2/$4 ($1 each after coupons!!).

Okay, so here's my question for you ladies. Would it be helpful if I started listing the weekly ads together with the coupons? It would require some time and effort on my part so if you really don't think you'd use it, let me know:) Either post your comment here or email me!!!
