Weekend Deals

Saturday morning, Justin and I went out and did a little bargain shopping. My neighbor brought me some coupons last night, so it was fun to see what we could get with the extra stash of coupons.

I won't give you the entire list of stuff we got, but let's just say we got a lot of oatmeal, bodywash, hamburger helper, as well as a 16 count pack of batteries (with coupons for more P&G products on the inside of the package) - thanks Justin - he spotted this deal on his own!!

We also brought home free hairspray, Olay bodywash, and lots of "almost free" stuff....like razors, cookie mixes, candy, and yogurt.

The final scenario looks like this:

I spent $66. I have $10 worth of Target gift cards, $12 worth of Walgreens money, and after I submit the Olay rebate of $15, I got all this stuff for $29!!

Today was especially fun because Justin went with me. I was explaining things as we went along, and he was so funny. "Yea, Mom...cool..." was pretty much his response. I do, however, think he learned a little bit about shopping savvy!

I also have to tell you this. Last night, as I was matching my coupons to the weekly ads, Emma comes up to me and says...."Hey Mom, are you finding a decent sale?"
Mmmmm, I think this may be rubbing off on my kids!



We got $200 worth of food and supplies for a fraction of the cost.....about a 86% savings!!

And while I was gone...look what the others were up too!! Made me laugh.....Have a great weekend and go to Target!!

Where do you find your deals? Do you do all of the matching or do you get them from a website? Thanks!
