Thanksgiving: Paying It Foward

This year our family will Pay It Foward and help a less fortunate family. We will be providing a turkey with all the fixings! We are so happy to be able to do this. And we are so thankful for Jenny over at SouthernSavers.com for her wonderful website to help lead us in the direction of great savings!

Publix and BiLo Nov.12, 2010

Great sales this week. Got lots of things we needed this week! 6 boxes of Quaker oatmeal, 2 boxes of Quaker grits, 16 cans of Campbells Healthy Request soup, 3-6paks of Propel....much more!

My Week of Shopping 06/18/2010

Good week at Bilo this week. I was able to get a big pack of cube steak, ground meat, and pork chop plus everything you see in this picture for $40.52! Before sales and my coupons the total was $$103.88 !! I got some awesome deals at Publix this week as well. The best thing about Publix this week was running into a good friend that I turned on to coupon shopping! My total this week here was $30. I got several things here that I did not have coupons for, and the Starbucks ice cream is out of this world! :)

I walked in CVS with a $5 ECB (extra buck) and walked out with $10 in ECB's !! Here is what I did.

The Gillette was on sale for $4, printed you off a $4 in ECB's (limit 2) I used a BOGOF coupon on the Gillette (printed off $4 for each body wash. Had to buy $1 candy so my total would be more than my ECB ($5).

Took the $8 in ECB and a Huggies Q for $3 off. Total for Huggies Box diapers was $10.19 Plus I walked out with a $10 ECB that printed from the Huggies diapers!

Here are a few deals that I snagged at Target today!

Rolaids: .24 cents each (These could have been free but the cheaper ones were all gone.)

John Frieda Shampoo: .50 each (This was on sale for $.5.50)

Shout: .47 cents

Pampers Wipes: .49 cents (These could have been free but the cheaper ones were out of stock).

Batteries: FREE

Armor All: .69 & $1.24

CVS Freebies!

I walked into CVS today with $2 Extra Care Buck and a hand full of coupons. I came out with 6 Degree Deodorants, 1 Old Spice Deodorant, 1 Old Spice Body Wash, 2 Scrubbing Bubbles, and 2 Glade Refills. My out of pocket was $2.44 and I walked out with a $5 ECB for my next shopping trip!

So if you take my $2 ECB I started with and add it to my OOP $2.44= $4.44 subtract that from my $5 ECB I walked out with=.56 cents profit !

You can find the coupons and CVS weekly sales broke down for you at www.SouthernSavers.com. I love that website!
