Posted in Super Savings Saturday

It's one of my favorite posts of the week.  My Super Saving Saturday post hosted by none other that Crystal form Money Saving Mom. 

Well I have to admit that I didn't spend time this week putting together a plan, and I definately paid for it literally. 

I did alright at CVS.  I was able to grow my ECB's considerably.  Thank you CVS for all the great coupons you sent me.  I was worried for a while there that you had forgotten about me.  I kept hearing about the great coupons that everyone else was getting.  I kept checking my inbox and it was empty.  I haven't gotten any register coupons in forever.  Then last Thursday I finally got something.  And it was a great coupon too!  $5 off Skin Effects, which happeded to be giving $5 ECBs when you buy $20 worth. 

But to make this deal even better, my sister still had a few $2 off Skin Effects from a while ago.  So I bought 4 Skin Effects face wash for $5.99 each - $5 CVS Coupon - $2 manufacturer coupon = free.  Plus $5 ECB back!

There were quite a few monthly deals available so I snagged those up too since they don't always stick around for too long.

1 canister of Folgers Coffee
1 Gillette Venus Embrace
4 Skin Effects Facewash
1 Gallon of Milk
1 bag of Purina Dog Food
1 Colgate 360 Toothbrush
2 Freestyle Monitor
1 pack of 24 Ice Mountain bottled water
1 package of Charmin 12 rolls
2 Newspapers
1 Oralpik Traveler

TOTAL $6.60
Total Savings $222.07

I now have $43.75 in ECB's

Now for my grocery shopping.  I will start off by saying that my first mistake was thinking that I could just run into the store with my coupons and NO plan!  This is how I used to shop.  Well minus the coupons.  So I didn't do great.  I was tired and didn't feel like shopping at all.  I waited until we were out of the basics and then I panicked and ran to Kroger and spent way too much and forgot a bunch of stuff.  So then I had to run to Aldis later in the week to get everything I forgot.  Needless to say I will have a plan this week for sure.
