Frugal Notes Friday
Well, this past week, I had some good, and some bad, in my frugal ways.
The good:
Saturday - I did Pick n Save Super Doubles. My OOP was$49.77. I had a 52% savings. I had one full cart and one half cart full. My best deal was Mott's Apple Sauce 6 Packs. On sale for $1.74 - a .55 cents off coupon that doubled. It came to .64 cents a package
Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, my family went camping at Wisconsin Dells. We paid for the gas to get there and the camping fee of $100 for the 4 nights. We used the Season Opener books to get free admission to Tommy Bartlett Water Show and Pirate's Cover Family Fun Center. We also enjoyed Timber Ridge 18 round mini-golf for free. We packed picnic lunches to keep costs down. We also paid $3.00 admission each and enjoyed Tommy Barrlett's Robot World. We also used all the books we had to get 12 free rides at Knuckle-Heads. So, we had a great family weekend with blowing our budget.We enjoyed S'mores at the campfire, swimming at the campground pool and some awesome family time. At Tommy Barrlett's Robot World, they closed the gift shop (out of business) and what was left was t-shirts for $5.00 each. My son picked out a Glow in the Dark Wolf Shirt and my daughter picked out 3 different sparkly horse shirts. She picked out 3 sizes, so as she grows she will have a small tan, medium foam green and a large purple. They were thrilled. That cost was $21.12 in cash but they both got souvenirs. :)
The unfrugal part was that I allowed each child to pick ONE ride that wasn't covered on the 12 free ride coupons at Knuckleheads. My daughter decided on the ropes course ( $8.00) and my son decided on the race car ( $5.00). So I spent $13.00 that I didn't plan. Also, we stopped at Taco Bell one of the days, which was $10.08 unplanned. Other than that, I stayed within my budget. :)
Also, this past week, a thrift store was going out of business. The day we stopped all music, movies, clothes and toys were free. Everything else was a quarter. I spent .75 cents but I got several needed things. I got my children some clothes. I found several books for my daughter and myself. I found gift wrap for .25 cents. I also found 3 bag straps for free! While you are probably thinking that is not exciting, let me explain. A friend of mine gave me 3 sports bags with no carry handles. We needed bags like these for camping and traveling, but we wanted carry straps. We searched Walmart, Target, Gander Mountain, and several other stores...we didn't find anything we liked. Now, here in the middle of a thrift store we hadn't planned on visiting was 3 GREEN STRAPS!! They were the exact same color as the bags!! We left with a box full of goodies!
Two days later, on the way home from camping, we stopped again...just to check it out...and everything was free!! So, I picked up a bunch of kitchen/cooking items for the camper and some wicker and plastic baskets. :)
Other than that, I am staying home, riding my bike for errands and hanging clothes laundry.
Happy Frugal Friday. I heard rumor that Pick N Save will be doing Super Doubles tomorrow, but I can't confirm that. Hope you have a happy weekend! Also, make sure that you clean out those coupon binders this weekend!!!

grocery prices and coupons
As the economy continues to stay where it is and the TV show Extreme Couponing continues to ruin the hobby of couponing, what have you been doing to save money? I know my coupon habits have changed quite a bit. The rules at many stores has changed. My price book is used more and when things are on sale I seem to stock up on basics more. Most coupon values have dropped drastically.
What are you doing to keep your grocery costs down? Have your couponing habits changed?

End of the month notes....
It's the end of the month and the start of a new month..time to clean out those binders....Happy Summer!!!
I found out I was low on my stock pile of laundry soap, so I found Menard's had Laundry Soap for $1.50 for their 30 load bottles. I bought 10 bottles and used my rebates checks, so no out of pocket expenses. I now have laundry soap for the entire summer.
Also, I did go to Logli's and do the triple coupons. After their clearance prices and sales, my bill was $90.74 after the triple coupons it was $55.81. My best find was Ink Cartridges for my printer. They were on Clearance for $2.00!!!!! So, I bought all 6 of them and can you image what they would have cost if I bought 6 all at once! I will have enough ink for the summer!
I also stopped at Woodmans. I used the SunDrop coupons to get the free SunDrop and also my free Small Steps TP. I also found a great deal on Grand Jr. Biscuits! .33 cents each!! They were the Honey and Butter flavor, the other flavors are full price. I got 10 cans. I found this deal because some guy was FILLING his cart with cans of biscuits and I got curious and went over to check out what he was doing. Glad I did. Mydaughter loves these biscuits!!!
Overall, we are still not doing many big shopping trips. We are living more off of stockpile and being creative in our meal planning.
Here comes summer!!
