I am on a SAVINGS high!!!

I was driving through town and I had $4.00 in register rewards that were about to expire, so I decided to stop at Walgreens, and see what they had on sale for my $4.00. I was SHOCKED to find that they were clearancing their frozen food section. They had TONS of great deals! I spent $75.00 for $314 worth of food! 

Now, I had just done my big shopping trip, so my freezers were full. This also puts me at $267.09 of my $300 that I budget for the month. And it's only the 11th...so there will be very little food shopping for the rest of the month! But, I did so well my freezer is completely PACKED! I also stopped at Kmart for the Laundry deal.

I was also blest with a great trade from a wonderful reader! She sent me her Purex coupons so I could do the Kmart deal

Bought 12 bottles of Purex Detergent, on sale for $2.50 each. I had a $1.00 off coupon. So I paid $1.50 each. But, when you bought $30 worth, you get a $10 catalina back!! SO I paid $19.65 ( tax included) and I got a $10.00 catalina back!!!!

So, I found some great deals tonight!!
