the weekly totals are in!

so i'm calling this week a success.   my couponing netted us
$232.60 this week....the details....

16 tubes of way too expensive toothpaste
15 bottles of various bath soaps and body washes
12 sample size shampoos for the gym bag
12 rolls of scotch tape
9 packages feminine products for my grown daughters
7 boxes of heating pain patches for hubby's knees
4 bottles of over the counter medications we take everyday
2 candy bars (already eaten)
1 toothbrush

store savings  $270.60.
 
spent $40.82 ...mostly for sales tax (i had 2 oopses where i had to pay extra after i used my store credit coupons incorrectly....this is a learning curve!)

another @21.00 spent on newspapers..(i'm one of those honest types who believes in coming by my coupons with integrity....do unto others as you want them to do to you.....what goes around comes around etc.   i want all the good karma i can get.....and i want my local newspaper to stay in business!)

and finally, $24.00 remains in unused store cash coupons that can be spent soon on anything in the store.

not too shabby for my coupon efforts in one week.  if you want to learn how to easily do some couponing too here's the link i used to learn. couponmom.com  it's free too!


now for my husband's success....it was a good week for him as well.

he received a free $200.00 gift card in the mail again this week.

he used part of the gift card balance to fill up my gas tank...so my gas was free this week!   if you want to take advantage of the grocery club it's open to anyone in the united states and canada.  here's the link affordmore.info

remember.....free is best!
