Not bad but my mistakes doubled my total OOP; I wanted to post this to show you we are human, busy moms, get distracted and not every transaction is going to work like you may think. Even those of us who have been doing this awhile make mistakes. Don't beat yourself up, learn from them and go on. I like to think that it all "comes out in the wash" so to speak. There have been times when deals went way better than I had expected.
This is really neat. Thanks for sharing. I still can't quite meet your savings but I am doing pretty good. Used the Free Franks Red Hot Sauce coupons today at Krogers for the 2 pack that is 2/$4. Thought it would charge me for whatever was over the 1.39 but nope, they gave them all to me for free, and gave me my $2 Kroger catalina back as well as one coupon because I was over. Had to buy a candy egg thing. Was neat.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Hang in there, I will try to do better about posting deals. As you can see also not everything is free or dirt cheap but there are certainly better times to buy things than others.
