Actually I hit three stores this morning. First off, Target. Some of the deals I was planning on were not there, but all in all still not bad. My total before coupons was 40.90, after it was $15.49. I got some good stuff too, like sandwich bags, zone bars, chips and cookies (John likes a particular brand of cookies and these were on sale), and Eggo waffles. I also had to throw in a coloring book for Reagan since she was being such a good sport to be dragged from store to store.
Next we hit Food Lion, not usually my store of choice, but the sales this week have been awful and I had some store coupons for Food Lion. I am just trying to get by with a few staples until tomorrow. Then I am hoping for better sales at HT. Didn't do as well there, but still got hamburger meat, and chicken as well as eggs, cheese, and milk. Before Q's total was $58.09, after $34.20.
Last stop, CVS. I had written down several scenarios for buying because you never know if the product you want will actually be there (yes, there are other people who are as crazy as I am about CVSing). Of course that was the case, but I still did okay. I bought 6 gift bags (yes, eventually I will use them), and two bottles of benefiber chewables (hey, we all could use more fiber in our diet). Again before Q total was $24.25. After coupons I paid 3.17, but I also got $20.00 ECB's (basically CVS $$) to use towards my next purchase. So, do you get what I'm doing now? I still have some learning to do, but I want to keep earning the ECB's so that I keep my OOP as low as possible. You should try it. I promise you will get addicted. I got my sis doing last week and she has already saved $$ on her baby supplies. Again check out these sites for some great starter scenarios: www.moneysavingmom.com and http://iheartcvs.com/
