Well, Dragged my husband out of bed this morning ( He is already back in bed!) to hit the Pick N Save Super Doubles. I did 5 transactions (50 coupons). It was a stock pile trip, not a menu planning trip. I did 66% savings. A lot of the shelves were emptied, but I did get some freebies and good deals. I have done inventory of my stockpile EXCEPT for the freezer, which I still want to do this weekend. So, I will replan my menu plans for the month of Nov.
Here is my 5 transactions all in one.
8 boxes of Breakfast Scambler Sandwiches, $2.99, $1.00 coupon that doubled.
2 packages of Chicken Hot Dogs, on sale .78 cents each
2 4 pound bags of sugar
1 pack of Charmin TP
1 package of Italian Sausage
1 10 pack of razors
2 packs of Pillsbury Brownie Bites
3 boxes of Hot Cocoa
12 cans of Healthy Select Soups, 2/$4.00, I had $1.00 off coupons, making them .50 cents each
3 bags of Bear Creek Soups, $2.99, $1.00 coupon that doubled.
9 containers of yogurt ( I used these for work) $1.00 each, had 3/$1.00 coupons that doubled.
4 4pks of Yogurt Delights ( I will also use for work) $1.88 each, had .50 cents off coupons that doubled
30 cans of cat food ( on clearance for .29 cents a can and I had a $1.25 off coupon)
1 box of Mrs. T's Perogies, on sale $2.39, I had a $1.00 coupon that doubled
4 boxes of Tic Tacs, $1.29 each, $1.00 off coupons that doubled
10 packs of 5 React Gum, on clearance .74 cents and I had a 2 $1.00 off coupon that doubled. I did get overage on this, normally Pick N Save doesn't do overage.
3 packs of Xtra Gum, $1.29 and I had .50 cent off coupons that doubled, ( again, my husband and daughter chew a lot of gum so I stockpiled at these prices. I do note that these are not necessities)
2 bags of shredded cheese ( cheap quesdillas), on sale
1 block of cheddar cheese, on sale
3 boxes of Capri Sun Drinks, I had $1.00 off coupons that doubled
So my total before coupons was $200.04 and after was $66.79. Basically a 66% savings. My daughter also asked the stocker, and got, 28 Langer Juice Coupons. So, I will be able to pick up 28 more juices over at Woodman's before the end of November. I haven't bought juice (except for Capri Suns) since summer. Which has saved us nicely.
Now, I have to work on my menus for Nov. I was blessed with a bunch of free bread from church. We received buns, loafs of bread, garlic rolls, etc. And I was blessed with lots of tomatoes, banana squash and pumpkins. So I have to fit those into the menu.
November has 30 days, not including Thanksgiving.
30 breakfasts
11 at home lunches
20 at work lunches for me
10 at work lunches for my husband
29 dinners ( Not counting Thanksgiving)
So, I have to figure that out and make a menu from my inventory, stockpile. I plan not to grocery shop much in November. Except for what I need to bring to our family Thanksgiving meal.

How Frugal is your Halloween?
Since I am a working mom of 2 kids, I am always busy and trying to play catch up. So, am I ready for Halloween? YEAP! I am! I would love to hear your tips for a frugal Halloween, but here is how we did ours!
Candy... Bought One bag of Hersey's Chocolate Snack Bars, $1.99 on sale and I used a $1.00 off coupon. So I paid $1.06 with tax.What doesn't get taken by the trick or treaters will be saved for winter S'Mores in the fireplace! Bought the clearance suckers at Walgreens. On clearance for $1.50, Used $1.00 RR's. So I paid $1.17 for 2 bags. Enough for the trick or treaters.
Costumes....Bought last year at Walmart 90% clearance, kept in rubbermaid. I paid $1.49 for my son's costume and my daughters was about .70 cents for all the pieces ( orange wings, orange skirt and orange fairy wand set)
Pumpkins...My son got a little one from Church school. Then, we went to a local farm where the pumpkins were $2.00 each for the medium ones. 2 pumpkins = $4.00. Patterns from the internet - Free!
Decorations... My daughter made tissue paper ghosts and we used a black garbage bag to make a spider on our front lawn. Using raked leaves, filling the black garbage bag and then long black garbage bags strips for arms. :) Done.
Gift bags for my son's class at school.... Pencils ( Disney Princess and Disney Cars, from Clearance Valentine packs, NO, they don't have hearts or anything on them!), Halloween Stickers ( Walmart 90% off clearance from last year), Pencil Top Erasers (Full Box, .39 cents after rebate from Menards), Tattoos ( don't remember what I paid, I bought TONS of them on clearance a LONG TIME AGO). And candy ( Again, from Walgreens Clearance Suckers!). So, I probably put about $4.00 into everything for these!) Even the plastic bags I used were from Menards Rebates!
Party..our local downtown businesses have a free fun Halloween Party for the kids. We will be attending that in our costumes.
That is it! I can do face painting on my daughter for her orange butterfly princess costume.
That is it. Simple, Effective...and inexpensive!
What are you doing to keep the costs down and the fun up??

Walmart New Price Matching Policy!
For the Holiday Season, Walmart is going to Price Match Items even AFTER you buy them! So, if you buy something at Walmart between Nov. 1st and Dec. 25th, then see an advertisment for the exact same item somewhere else, you can bring back the receipt and item and Walmart will give you a gift certificate for the difference!!!
Some exclusions do exist, so make sure you read the fine print. Here is the LINK to the article on MSN.
