What You'll Find Here:

Of course there will be pictures & videos of my beautiful boys, but I am also going to post information that I find helpful to share with my fellow mommies out there, either SAHM or working! I consider running the household my job, not just raising children, so it is my responsibility to save money wherever I can! One way I do that is with couponing. On average, I spend less than $80 per week on all our household needs. No, not just food. This is toiletries, paper goods, cleaning supplies, diapers, & anything else you can think of! And we don't do without around here! Most all of what I buy is name brand & very little is off-brand. There is nothing wrong with off-brand, but manufacturers put out tons of coupons to get you to buy their products.

Coupon Clipping Saves How Much??


I went to CVS the other day & ended up saving $46.66! I spent only $19 before tax! Here is what all I got: (**pic to come**)
-20 Assorted Chocolate Santas - Regular Price $0.75, on sale for $0.50 each
-2 Bags of Holiday Hershey Kisses - Regular Price $3.49 on sale for $3.00 each
-2 Bags of Holiday M&Ms - Regular Price $5.99 on sale for $4.00
-4 small bags of M&Ms - Regular Price $0.89, on sale for $0.50 each (great prizes for the kiddos!)
-1 Glade Scented Oils Candle Holder - Regular Price $4.69 on sale for $3.00 MINUS $3.00 coupon makes it FREE!
-1 Glade Candle Refill - Regular Pice $.3.49 on sale for $3.00 MINUS $1.50 coupon
-Children's Dimetapp - Regular Price $6.49 on sale for $6.00 MINUS $2.00 coupon

-Children's Triaminic - Regular Price $7.99 on sale for $6.00
-1 Edge Infused Shave Gel - Regular Price $3.29 on sale for $2.19 MINUS FREE coupon

Now here is the good part! So you are wondering why I bought so much OTC medicines, right? Well, when you buy $20 in children's meds, you get $10 ExtraBucks!! So it is the same as spending $9.50 on all of it. Then I also got $5 ExtraBucks for spending $15 on candy, so Santa got the hookup already. It is safely packed away in the closet until it goes into the stockings!

I also had a $5 off Rite Aid coupon, since they take cempetitor's coupons, & also $19 in ExtraBucks from my last visit. Now I have $15 ExtraBucks for the next visit & also another $5 Rite Aid coupon.
