Shopping Day! 1/6/12

Well, I way passed my budget... But, got some good deals on things we really needed. So at Smith's I spent 92.58 and Saved 69.96 (15.00 in coupons - 54.96 in FV)

4 Tide - 40 wash - Sale price 5.99 (saved 3.98) - 1.00p&g event - 2.00 coupon. = 2.99 per box
4 Crest toothpaste - Sale price 2.69 (saved .53) -1.00p&g event - 0.75 coupon = 0.94 per tube
8 Old Spice deodorant - Sale price 1.99 (saved .88) - 1.00p&g event - $1/2 coupon = .49/stick
Case lots:
Kroger Kidney Beans - 13.68 (saved 3.36) its a 24 count case = 0.57/can
Kroger Flour -14.32 (saved 2.64) its a 8 count case of 5lbs each = 1.79/bag

2 liter Big K rootbeer 0.88

Kroger Oyster crackers 0.98 (a hopeful substitute for goldfish)
Grandma Sycamore's bread 2/$5.00

The deal of the day was at Walgreen's - So both Jake and I needed new razors, but they are so dang expensive. (we are picky) So I asked my sister, (check out Kat's Klippings) to see some great deals and get some coupon guru advice. She told me about the deal at Walgreen's - So in 3 transactions (one visit to the store) I got a Venus razor + 4 pack of cartridges for me (6blades total) for $23 after a $5 off coupons, A Gillette Pro Fusion for Jake + 4 pack of cartridges for $23 after a $5 off coupon, I got a total of $14 in register rewards for future purchase - then I went and picked up 4 bottles Dawn dish soap for $0.74/9oz bottle (I had 4 coupons), 3 boxes of Coke products (3 for $11) and a gallon of milk (2.20ish) my total after the discounts and RR was just over $2. The Dish soap savings was good, the bottles retail at 1.99 but were on sale for .99 and then I had coupons for .25 off each.   So I spent $49 on all of that!

So 49 + 92.58 = 141.58 - yikes, that's 2 weeks worth of money... hmm, I wonder if I could get by for 2 weeks on what we have, maybe with the addition of milk and bread... I will have to get creative.
