Shopping Trips Week of 06/29/2009 to 07/04/2009

Every so often it is a good idea to check yourself and see how you are really doing. Am I using my coupons wisely? Am I really doing the best I can do? So I decided to check myself this week to see how I am

I went to Walgreens, Remkes, Dollar General, Wal-Mart and Meijers. Here's my purchases.

6 packages Stayfree Maxi Pads ($18.00)
4 Cans Lysol Spray ($12.72)
2 Containers Rondele Pub Cheese ($6.98)
6 Cans Pringles ($12.84)
3 Bottles Hydrogen Peroxide ($3.48)
1 M&Ms Peanut Candy (can't forget the hubby) ($1.19)
2 Packages Oscar Mayer Hot Dogs ($6.78)
2 Packages Blue Grass Metts ($7.00)
1 Package Doritos 100 Calorie Snacks Pack ($2.29)

Total Merchandise = $170.98
Total Paid After Sale + Register Rewards + Coupons = $49.58

Not too bad. Of course I would love to have my savings be at 80% or better, but I don't think this is too bad. The best thing, outside of the savings of course, is all of the wonderful people I meet along the way.
