Coupon Savings!

So, I haven't written about coupons for a while so I decided this week I would. If you remember, about 6 months ago, I started using coupons to save money. Its been lots of fun and I really have saved a ton. This is what I was able to do this week!

Tuesday I bought:
6- 375 count boxes of Qtips (I know its a lot...)
6- bottles of Vaseline Lotions (good ones)
1- jar of pickles
1- Cream cheese container
1- gal. 2% milk
4- Grapefruit
2- bunches leaf lettuce
2- bunches broccoli
3 1/2 lbs. apples

Spent: $24.07
Saved: $52.70 (Basically the Qtips and lotion were free, because I spent $22.16 and got back $22.00 so on my next purchase I got everything else for just under $2.00)

Then on Wednesday I did the next sale and this is what I got:
10- jars Ragu pasta sauce
2- bags Chex Mix
4- Betty Crocker Cookie pouches
6- boxes Green Giant frozen Vegetables
2- boxes Fruit Gushers
2- boxes Betty Crocker brownie mix
7- boxes General Mills Cereal
1- Pillsbury refrigerated cookie dough
2- pkgs. Charmin-12 double rolls
7- boxes Puffs tissue
4- Yoplait Yogurts

Spent: $37.64
Saved: $114.45 (and I still have $5.00 off my next purchase to use)

Nice job! I think you would also like http://krazycouponlady.blogspot.com/
As to the health care bill, it makes me sick. I can't believe the things they are trying to pass. We wrote our representatives, we just wish we lived in a state where it would make more of a difference-Idaho always votes conservative. But we still wrote, just to make sure our voices are heard. Thanks for giving the heads up.
