Catch up! (but no ketchup)

Yep, I did it again....went MIA.  Working 2 days a week, going to college, caring for family plus my 89 year old dad, and running my own small business...no idea why I don't have time to blog!  LOL.  If you notice, none of the above listed couponing or shopping.  Wow, I am busier than I thought!

Anyway, onto the important stuff!
Last Monday, Labor Day, I did a Walgreens trip.  I took my son with me.   He had never been before.  It was definitely an adventure.  "Are we done yet?  Why does this take so long?"  Sheesh!  I won't take him again any time soon.  LOL
I didn't do near as well I as think I should have, but oh well.  I can't find the picture, I guess I didn't take one?  Anyway, I am sharing the info from this trip to let you know each one doesn't go as well as things on tv.
I spent $58.87.  That's the most I have spent in a loooong time.  I saved $149.96.  Not awful, but not my best either.   :)  I got boatloads of shampoo, conditioner, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and I am sure other things....I can't decipher the receipts very well.

After that, we headed to Home Depot for some Mr. Clean erasers.




 9 of them for $4.50 plus tax.  (no idea where that receipt is.)  I used the $1 off 1 coupon and bought the individual erasers.  Today at Walgreens, I saw 2 for $3.89.  Woot to me!








Today's Walgreens trip:
Please excuse the mess around the stuff.  I guess I am feeling more comfortable...
I didn't clean for you this time!    :D
This trip was MUCH better.  I spent $3.23 and saved $65.45.
8 9 ounce bottles of Dawn dishsoap, 9 toothbrushes, 3 tubes of 
toothpaste, and 3 washclothes for Operation Christmas Child.
We used a LOT of register rewards and got a lot back, too. 

This all does take some time, but the savings are so worth it to me!

Til next time,
Jeanne
