Super Money Saving Mama!!!!


That's right super money saving mama is here!!!!! (Miranda is my representation) After a nice week off from reality I was back to my money saving adventures. In fact on our vacation I had to go to Wal-Mart and I felt like I was being ripped off buying things full price...I only had one sad little coupon for our Pringles....well this week more than made up for all that! I don't think I will need any bathroom supplies for a good year!


I paid $1 for all this at Rite aide!!!

The hair spray was $3.00 each and I had 2 $1 coupons. I also got $4 in rebates for those. The BeCool patches (a neat contraption for when your kid has a fever) was on sale for $1 with a $1 rebate. Not bad for a buck!!!!



I paid $0.00 out of pocket for this.....
Last night after my class I headed to CVS for a little shopping in peace (since Andy is out of school for the summer I have to shop with all three....yikes) Well I totally made out, The Dove shampoo and conditioner was buy one get one free for $4.99 and I had 2 $1 off coupons (making that a total of $3...and as for the make up...well if you know me you know I have had a love affair with MAC makeup...which is less than a frugal product, and sadly each year I have had to cut back on my splurges and now I am just plain old trying to be "frugal" and only buy the necessities at the lowest price possible. Well I scored the Revlon lippies and nail polish for a total of $6.99 (another buy one get one free scenario) and the foundation and powder for a total of $10.00...you can't buy anything for under $20 bucks at the MAC store!!!! Plus I have become really fond of the cheap stuff (it works the same as the expensive stuff..IMAGINE THAT!) So my total was $21 and I had exactly $21 in CVS bucks...so I paid....$0.00.....oh yeah! But I did have to snap back to reality and buy 2 gallons of milk and a loaf of bread...so I paid $5.50 out of pocket...still it was a great deal!!!!



This morning we all ran to my favorite place in the world...Target and I was able to get these yummy breakfast items for $2.50...hhmmm could that be breakfast for 5 for a week for under $3?


This was Target on Tuesday...(out of shopping order, but whatever) Anyhow I got all this for a whopping $3.43...love Target bc you can have a Target coupon for something and I manufactures....:))

Ok I haven't gone to K-Mart in a good 20 years, quite literally but they offer double coupons once a month so I have all my $2 coupons that will double to $4 off! I scored all this for $15.37 which is really a smoking deal because the Aveeno faces washes and Jergens tanning lotion alone would have been $21.97...I love my coupons!!!!
So to sum that up I paid $22.57 for all that loot...I spent more that that this morning on my lovies little suprises...a hula hoop for girl, a Thomas the Train set for An, and a shake and roll car for my sweet boy Pay-zee...
