Yep this is a pic of my freebies from the stores on friday!

Coupons do work use them with sales and get things FREE!

There are blogs all over the net that tell you exactly what to buy where to buy it and what coupons to use!

If you are seeing this blog post you can find all the sites that help make the most out of your grocery budget!

scroll down, some of my favorite savings blogs are on the right side, just click and go to them!

so the break down goes:

Giant Eagle

• Tabasco on sale for 10/$10  coupon for 5o cents off, doubled= FREE, I had to coupons for these
• Jack Daniels BBQ sauce  2/$3 coupon for 75 cents off each, doubled = FREE I had 2 from last weeks newspaper and 2 from the internet, great stock up time
• Kid Essentials coupon to try it for free,  signed up for this on the net and it came in the mail.

Dollar General 0.18

• Sauve Deodorant 2/$3 coupon for $3 off on two = FREE
• Carefree panty liners $1 coupon for $1off = FREE

CVS -0.58 (got back)

• Colgate tooth paste on sale for bogo for a penny, $1 off 1, two coupons, plus got $2 extra care bucks for each ($4.90-2=2.90 at check out then get $4 coupon for next purchase at CVS)
• Aussie products $2.99 each get $2 extra care bucks back for each (pay 2.99 each at check out get $4 coupon for next purchase at CVS)

So I had extra care bucks from previous weeks and actually recieved 58 cents back at the register so I actually got paid 40 cents for my trip to Edinboro Friday afternoon!  As far as the extra care bucks go, I haven't paid with cash at CVS since April 26th, so yes it was free items and now I will use the extracare bucks towards next weeks sales.  

at doral general and cvs in PA you will owe for the state sales tax of 6%

So, on my most recent trip to walmart I used coupons!  Here's the breakdown:

Total 130.54

coupons 43.15

balance 87.39

Pretty good huh?  So in the picture is the non food items that I purchased on said Wal-Mart trip, except the fingernail clippers didn't seem to make it in the picture.  So my 1st point is, no not all the good coupons are for non food items.  My totals on non food thing are as follows:

Total 21.18

coupons 13.00

balance 8.18

At that goes further like so:

Pull ups wipes $0.64 each pack

Bic 10 pack pens$0.64 each pack
