Weekly Totals 3/15 – Share Your Savings!
March 15, 2013
Happy Friday everyone. Boy it is a beautiful day here in Atlanta – I am so ready for spring to hit so that we have more days are like this one!
This is a busy time of the year so often I have to pick and choose what all I can accomplish each week. Most weeks I can’t quite seem to accomplish everything on my list. Luckily there was nothing I really had to have from the grocery store…so I didn’t even put that on my list of to-dos!
I will admit that I am having a few withdrawals from not shopping – tee hee! I think I may have to do a quick run tonight to grab some of the BOGO Bertolli Pasta Sauce. My husband was assigned to bring a bunch of pasta sauce in a crockpot for Jake’s Cub Scout banquet tomorrow. He’s such a nut…he told me that he would need the sauce a couple of days ago. When I mentioned that it would have been a good thing to let me know ahead of time, he commented that we had plenty in the pantry. He didn’t see the issue with taking 4 – 5 different varieties and throwing them all in the slow cooker. I am not sure how that would have tasted…but, I’m sure it would have been a pretty color.
I also need to grab some bread and milk…and I am hankering for something sweet. I may have to think of something to whip up tonight or I may just pop over to the Publix Bakery 
If I shop tonight I will just add the details to my list for next week. That means this week I get to check out all of your totals. Share your savings in the comments or link to your weekly totals.

(we avg’d around $100 weekly prior)
doh, and I forgot 1 Publix frozen cauliflower $1.59 (no coupon)
Total is still the same!
Great deals! It’s nice to see someone buying more than just junk food as well as items that you can actually make a full nutritious meal with!! I keep looking at these match ups and it’s a lot of those unhealthy frozen pizzas, processed foods, and sugary drinks.
oh, and I’m hoping to get some WD coupons in the mail this next week which will help out with the total for next weekend. Woohoo!
$6.10 for 2 gallons of milk, trying to eat some stuff in pantry/freezer. But I can live that total!
I mostly did my big toiletries run tonight. I got Huggies diapers and wipes, Schlick disposable razors, edge shave gel, Nivea after shave, 4 suave shampoos/conditioners, 2 suave body washes, one suave lotion, and two cover girl products (mascara and eyeshadow)…then I added a few groceries like
Lance crackers, McCormick gravy, coffeemate creamers, and a few other items…
My total before coupons was around $92…after coupons $20.71!! Woohoo! It feels good to provide my family with a few extra dollars to save. I quit my job of 6 years in August last year to be a stay at home mom of three toddlers and discovered couponing around October. It makes a world of difference…thank you to all who contribute to this site!!
I know this is off the subject but I have at least 70 $1.50 off seattle’s best coffee coupons that I will not use. If anyone would like them please email me at kim4kids@bellsouth.net and I will send them out to you. They dont expire until 4/24/13.

It’s my first time saving twice as much as I’ve spent and my fiancé said I have to stop for the month as our tiny apartment can’t hold anymore
