Project 365- Day 99

After having taken a couple of weeks off from couponing, I went to CVS yesterday. Thanks to my husband I got to go alone and spend the quiet time, just me and my coupon binder, in search of great deals.
I had a $5 off of $40 purchase coupon, $10 in extra care bucks, $6 in quarterly rewards, and a $10 gift card I had previously purchased for $2, thanks to one of those daily deal websites.
Here is what I came home with:
All together I bought an 8 pack roll of Bounty paper towels, a 12 roll pack of Charmin, 6 bottles of Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner, 2 Herbal Essence hairsprays, 2 Crest mouthwashes, 4 bottles of Wisk laundry detergent, 2 Oral B toothbrushes, a pack of hair elastics, Cover Girl pressed powder, Cover Girl lip gloss, 3 Dawn dish washing detergents, and 14 Snickers Easter eggs (of which I have already eaten 3!).
My grand total after sales prices but before coupons and rewards was $87.60.
I paid $18.40 out of pocket and I received $18 in ECBs for my next shopping trip! Yay!
I love saving my family money and because of our new shopping habits we have already saved $630 this year alone. This is just my total for CVS, which is where I do most of my household needs shopping. I am guessing it is more like $1000 if you add in savings from the 2 grocery stores I shop at, Walgreens, and Rite Aid.
Not bad at all.

  2. Thank you T! It has been a lot of fun! I love writing in general but I lack the motivation to be consistent unless I have some kind of structure. This 365 day project reminds me to write something every few days at the least!
    Love you too!
