Where have I been?

Well ladies and gentleman, I am sorry that I have been away so long! I have missed you all. Buutttt…I do have some fabulous savings that I must tell you all about, in my bragging fashion to my dear sister. (Love ya! I haven’t had time to sit down and write it all out, and I have misplaced a few receipts I think, but I’m going to try to give ya’ll a little break down on my savings and what nots. I will have to go store by store instead of transaction after transaction, because, well, I have a stack of receipts here. Lol. Alright, let us begin…
Rite Aid-
Bought 2 Axe gift sets, sale-9.99 each, used $3/1 coupon and $2/1 Axe gift set Rite Aid coupon= Paid 4.99, got $2 Reward, so I basically got it for 2.99, SAVED $7!
Winn Dixie-
Let me tell you, my family LOVES Reeses, so when we came across the Reese pumpkins after Halloween on clearance, we cleaned house!!!! We got roughly 100 (if not more) for .34 each, paying $34. They were 1.09 each before clearance, so I saved a total of roughly $75!!! Let me tell you, we STILL have pumpkins. Lol!!!
Walgreen-
Last week Walgreens have a great deal on Purex laundry soap. B1G2 Free. I bought 6 Purex, and 2 Turtles Chocolates. (More chocolate right?! They are Christmas gifts, don’t worry). Total before everything was $41.52, after coupons and stuff I paid $14.10 for a total SAVINGS of $27.42!!!
Freds-
We have a great store here in Mississippi called Freds Super Dollar and they double coupons up to .70 every Saturday, so I take full advantage of this! I try to go every week, but sometimes it don’t pan out. I went just last weekend and here is my findings… I got a bunch of stuff to include Werthers candy for my husband, drinks for my kids, cat treats and litter, rice, granola bars, and air freshners. Before coupons the total was 68.10 and after coupons OOP was 27.42 for a SAVINGS of 40.68!!!
Walmart-
Ah, Walmart my dear friend. I go to Walmart right around three times a week. Man I should cut back. I have too much to even start to list at Walmart, but let me tell you I did hit the clearance Halloween hard!!! And with my savings on Halloween clearance and all my coupons, my total saving at Walmart have been (and I know I am missing receipts!) $105.38!!! ( I have the receipts if you need proof It really does pay to shop a few days after the holiday to get all those good clearance sales. You may have to wait a year to use the items you bought but to me it is worth it to save that kind of money!!!
CVS-
I have hit CVS hard this week with all their freebies after Extra Bucks. Plus they had really great deals on 2 liter sodas a couple weeks ago, so I stocked up! Before anything was taken off, the grand total of my three trips to CVS was $160.49. After all my coupons and savings I paid OOP 100.62, and I got back 78.08 in ExtraBucks, so I ended up paying only 22.54 for 160.49 worth of product!

WOWZERS!!! After looking at all of this, I really have a great deal more appreciation for coupons and what they have allowed me to do for my family. To total everything on this page up, before all savings these totals totaled in all a whooping 504.41 and after all, my OOP was 104.06!!!! Amazing!!! 398.35 in savings just this month alone!!!! And I know I have misplaced receipts. It honestly brings a tear to my eye. Thank you coupons!!!!

Let's talk Turkey!

With October quickly coming to an end the next thing on our minds is......... Christmas shopping! Well it is but that is not our focus right now. With the holidays coming up we have decided to have another competition. Those are always fun! :) We will find the best deals we can to feed our families and pass the ideas, tips, and deals on to you. Last time we had a contest to see who could save more, I won't say I whopped my sister, but I did a pretty good job :) Now of course she came in at a VERY close second. Then a very special THANK YOU! to Bri, our niece for tallying up the percentage to let us know just who the coupon queen really is. I plan on keeping this title, let's see if I can. 

So check back for lots of good grocery ideas and Holiday meal planning! :)

E-COUPONS AND DEALS!

Hello all you awesome couponers! I know both my sister and I have been MIA lately. We are mothers first, and right now even though we live in different states both of our lives are CRAZY!!!! We are trying to get back into the swing of things. We are already planning new fun things in the upcoming months so just bare with us.

Now for the fun stuff. What you really come here for. In a previous post I told you about different types of coupons. One of those was the e-coupon. I have been looking more into these. They are becoming more and more popular. Several companies offer savings if you simply text to them that you want offers or deals. I have put together a list of the ones I could find and am passing this on to you. There are more stores that offer this type of deal, I just have not found them yet. As I do come across them I will be sharing with you. Each store has a 5 or 6 digit # you will send a text to. The code that follows the number bellow is what you will need to put in the message area to receive these text deals or coupons. Some have daily deals like, Family dollar.

Happy October!

First day of October and I could not be happier! I LOVE October! It is by far my favorite month. I love this time of year. Even though in Florida seasons do not really change that much I can tell it is a bit cooler, and HALLOWEEN!!!!!!!
Anyway, What better way to celebrate the first day of October than to go shopping and finish the day off by watching Hocus Pocus with the family and a great friend! I (tried) to make witch broom cookies as a treat for the movie but they didn't turn out like I had hoped. They were still pretty tasty :) Thankfully my friend (Shout out to Steph L.) :) made some tasty Cheerios treats. Like rice krispie treats but better.
Our plan is to watch a Halloween movie/show each day of October. We shall see how that goes :)
