Also wanted to update you since I have started clipping coupons and actually finding recipes that use the ingredients I already have for the last 2 months I have not spent more than $45 a week. ( I kept all my reciepts!) With that $45 budget it includes toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner and deodorant. I was really surprised to see that I kept this budget because there were some weeks where I felt I wasnt getting good deals but really always waiting for a sale and using coupons saves so much money.
So the above I got for $14.56, not bad considering the bacon is $6.99 a package.
My total before coupons was $30.66
Here is the breakdown:
St. Ives was on sale for $1 used a $1 off any one St. Ives product ( online no longer available)
Final Price- Free
John Frieda was on sale $4.99 used a peelie from last one I bought for a $1.00 off
Final Price- $3.99
Wholly Gucamola used a $1 off from newspaper
Final Price-$1.99
Sorrento Ricatta cheese was on clearance for $1.84 Originally priced at $3. and something
Helluva Good Cheese was not on sale, but we needed cheese but I used a $.75 Tops manufacturer coupon that said it does not double, but they doubled it! So I got a $1.50 off
Final Price- $1.79
Glade Expressions Spray was on sale for $3.99 Used a $3/1 coupon here
Final Price was $.99 but you receive a $1 off next shopping order from buying this item, so really it was FREE!
Starkist Tuna on sale for $1.34 used a $.55/1 coupon from newspaper. That was doubled.
Final Price was $.24
Oscar Mayer Select Bacon- $6.99 got a coupon in mail for a free package from their facebook page!
Final Price- FREE
Gerber Grabbers was on sale for $1.50 used a $.75/1 coupon here doubled.
Final Price- Free ( There is also a $.75/1` Gerber Organic pouch that you can use here and would be free too)
