How much Reynolds wrap does one family need?

That's the question my husband has asked me on several occasions, but when you can get it for .14 cents a roll, why not stock up. Foil is one of the things I HATE to run out of! And I have 5 more coupons that expire on Oct. 11, and I will be bringing home 5 more rolls! I know my Sister is shaking her head at this, but Sis when you need some foil, call me!!

Here is my latest bargains:

Total Cost: $41.78 Total I paid:$4.58

Sharing the Knowledge!

I am behind at putting up photos and my savings amounts. I went to my Sisters 45 mins away to get her started at couponing. She really racked up on some deals! Her Food Lion had Pillsbury Grands frozen biscuits BOGO free @ $2.99 and each bag had a coupon $1 off two, making them $1.99 for 2 bags. So when I got home I went to my Food Lion and they were not on sale here in Greenville! Ugh! I love those biscuits!!

Nothing like these triples! Go Bloom! Go Me!

What can I say, I am addicted to this. I am going to make this post short and sweet. I got the 3 bottles of Snuggle FREE at Food Lion. The 4 Pillsbury crescent rolls were FREE from Publix.

Here is my list: Lysol cleaners, 6 Progresso soups, 4 Campbells chick noodle soup, 6 CB microwave meals, 3 2pk Minute rice, 2 OM Deli Creations, 2 Clorox wipes, 1 Toll House Chocolate chip cookie dough, 2 bags of Grands Frozen biscuits, and 2 3pk of Dial Soap.

Total I Paid: $18.70

That's a Crime!

I had my husband stop and get me a couple news papers this morning. I finished breakfast for the kids and opened up my newspapers to check out the coupons.......and nothing.......not one coupon booklet in either paper. I got myself up and got dressed and took those papers back to the gas station. None of their papers had coupons or sale ads. I got my money back and headed to Ingles to check out their stash of papers. Much to my surprise all their papers were in tact and had all the coupons! Go me!

So today I shopped until I dropped and I spent less than $50 including the sale at Food Lion. Now you see why I am in love with coupons!!

Triples At Bloom Today
