It's time for Super Saving Saturday hosted by Money Saving Mom.
This is one of my favorite times of the week. I love to see how well I spent my money. Or didn't spend it for that matter.
Because of all that I've learned from Crystal I have really done pretty great at stocking up our cupboards and freezer all while keeping my grocery bill very low. In fact I am easily spending 50% less than I did before I started shopping this way. My grocery goal is to not spend over $50 a week. This includes all food, paper products, health and beauty products, feminine products, dogfood, ect. So far so good.
I wasn't even planning to go grocery shopping this week since we had plenty already from stocking up during all the sales recently. But then I heard about an amazing deal at Meijer. I couldn't just sit by and not take advantage of 17 cent pasta, 50 cent pasta sauce, and $1 tubs of ice cream. So I went and got this on my first trip.
I only wanted to use a couple of each coupon that Meijer gave me, I was a little chicken. I hate when the cashier gives you the look. The one that tells you that you must be doing something wrong in order to get so much for so little. But I didn't get that look at all. I left spending $ and feeling great. So great in fact I rushed home to share my newfound deal with all of you. Then I went back..... twice! Heres what I got from those trips.
So here's the breakdown:
1 pound of Maple Ham Lunchmeat
1 bottle of Ranch Dressing
10 Jars of Pasta Sauce
10 Bags Frozen Veggies
10 Boxes of Pasta
10 Bags of Baking Chips
10 Tubs of Ice cream
6 Boxes of Graham Crackers
2 Fuze Drinks
1 bottle of Coffeemate Creamer
1 bag of French Fries
TOTAL $38.99
Total Savings $92.51
Since CVS was so kind as to give out new coupons, I decided I'd better take advantage of them before they're gone again. So I ran into CVS to pick up a couple of the April monthly deals that I hadn't gotten yet. I went back again on Friday and got most of the May Monthly deals that I wanted.

Last week I mentioned a company I work with to earn some extra money. This week I thought I'd tell you about two more companies that pay you to click on the email they send you daily.
Warning: I use a yahoo account for these kinds of companies that way my "real" email isn't getting flooded with paid emails everyday. It takes less than a second to click on an email and you earn money for each one you click. It's so Easy.
Okay well that's my shameless plug for you for the week.
I hope you are having a lovely week.
