Laundry Detergent Bargin

This week I stocked up on laundry detergent at CVS with the Extra sale. They had extra laundry detergent on sale for $1.49. I had traded for 10 $1/1 extra coupons. I paid a little over $5 for 10 bottles of 50oz laundry detergent. Which = .49 plus tax each. I now have 14 bottles total of laundry detergent in my stockpile! I think I'm stocked up for a while.

An Opportunity to Bless Someone

We take so much for granted and need to slow down and think of how we can bless those who are going through difficult times. I have a friend, Rachel, who had a 13oz micro preemie who lived in the NICU the first four months of her life before going home to be with Jesus. Rachel has started a yearly preemie onesie drive in her daughter's memory. She collects, preemie onesies, outfits and clothes up to 3 months and gives them to the neonatal nursery where her daughter lived her four months. Rachel also collects, receiving blankets and socks for the babies. The neonatal nursery cares for up to around 100 babies.

Rachel, shares on her blog (www.preemieclothingdrive.com) how the journey isn't easy with your child in the NICU. She was given an annonymous onesie when her daughter was in there, and Rachel was greatly blessed by this act of kindness from a complete stranger.

The delivery date for these items to the NICU is March 9th. We really need to collect these things asap so I can get them to Rachel.

If you would rathar give a monatary gift I would see that it was used to buy onesies etc. for the drive.

I'm excited to see what our small blog can do to bless these tiny babies and their families.

Saved $127 Spent $14.85 So Far In 2011

We're only into the 14th day of the year and I've already saved $127. this year and spent $14.85.

I've been back to Food Lion and bought 2 more of the spaghetti for $1. I found 2 more of the $1 coupons. I also bought 2 more of the Healthy Choice soups, some bananas, and 2 more containers of the bestlife butter spread. I had coupons, of course, for everything except the bananas. Not sure how this happened but I paid only for the bananas. The soups should have cost $1. I only paid $1.30 and the bananas were $1.16 plus .14 tax. I'm not complaining at all!!

I got 2 of the pure protein bars, 1 of the Johnson and Johnson baby bars of soap, and 4 boxes of the fiber one honey clusters cereal. I paid 4.26 for all of this and .26 was tax. The only thing I really paid for was $1 a box for the cereal.

Saved $21.49 spent .74 tax

Today proved to be another successful day of freebies at Harris Teeter. I saved $21.49 an only had to pay tax which was .74.

I bought:

2 hormel complete dinners on sale for $1.97 each
3 reach dental floss regularly $1.65 each
1 glade air freshner 1.65
5 single rolls of 7th generation paper towels on sale for $1.99 each


I had:
2 $1 coupons for the hormel which doubled=free
3 $1 dental floss coupons doubled =free
1 $1 glade air spray coupon doubled=free
5 $1 7th generation product coupons doubled=free

I was really excited with my free paper towels. With what I got yesterday and today I probably have around 9 rolls. They're tan so they aren't the prettiest but hey, they were free. A pack that big in the store would cost you several dollars!!

Spent $5.33 Saved $54.30

I'm so excited about my shopping trip today. Even though I always save more then I spend I believe this could be the most I've ever saved in one trip. Today I went to Harris Teeter, Dollar General, and Food Lion.

At Harris Teeter with the Super Double Coupons I was able to get a lot of free stuff:

2 large 7th Generation Dish Liquids
2 small bottles of Bayer Asprin
3 8 oz tubes of toothpaste
2 boxes of spaghetti

I also got a bottle of V8 Fusion Light, 3 boxes of Finish dish detergent, and 1 jar of smuckers jelly, I had to pay for these items but not much. The jelly was .79, the v8 was .50, and the finish was .49. I was very pleased with how well I did.

Food Lion also has some really great deals I told you about yesterday. I bought 3 small tubs of Best Life Buttery spread, and 2 boxes of spaghetti and got this all for free. I also bought 2 healthy choice cans of soup also on sale for $1 and used $1/2 coupon and got both for $1.

At Dollar General I got 1 olay body wash which was on sale for $2 and used the coupon from dec. P&G insert and got it for free. Overall it was an awesome trip, can't wait to go do it again!

Food Lion Freebies and Great Deals That You Can Grab This Week.

I'm normally not a huge couponer at Food Lion because they don't double coupons but this week will be different. I will be couponing there this week. BestLife Buttery Spread is on sale there this week for $1. There was a $1 coupon in Jan.2nd newspaper. I'm also going to grab some of the Healthy Choice soups. They're also $1 this week and $1/2 coupon was also in this past sunday's paper. .50 a piece for Healthy Choice soup is not a bad deal at all.
