Well shoot- it is nice and sunny outside which makes the inside of the house look like a cave. Anyway- this was a good shopping trip and I couldn’t fit everything in one picture. So I stopped at Raley’s, Safeway, CVS and Target. I would not have hit all those stores except I needed to check some things for the blog. So here goes:

Revlon Nail Polish $1.45- used $5/2 Revlon coupon I got from the scanner
I did get the $5 credit and actually $1.69 toward each Vitaminwater. Plus CA has .05 CRV per bottle so the total was $10.66. I used a $10 ECB and paid .66.
I got a $5 ECB back for the Honest Ade and Vitaminwater.
PS: I am not including the Rite Aid trip this week because everything I bought will be donated- except the ice cream! I will just roll the +Ups into a rebate for my money back.

Well done! I overspent this week, but I bought a ton of Ranchers Reserve meat this week at Safeway and used a bunch of $2/1 coupons. In the end, the meat was a pretty good deal! Oh and we love the Sea Cuisine fish and when I was walking through that section I found a tear pad of $1/1 Sea Cuisine coupons so people might want to be on the look out for those!
i have several coupons for Honest Tea. How many do you need to buy to get ECB? Please describe the tea deal. Thanks
Cathy you can check your ad- it is Buy $15 in Kraft items and get $5 ECB back. There are several items included and the tea was $1.50 each I think. The ad didn’t mention Vitaminwater but it was included at my store.
Hi there- just wondering what your weekly budget is? I’m actually trying to start a weekly budget, thinking $80 a week. I’m so bad about keeping track of what I spend. I only buy organic eggs, poultry, and most produce. I think I can do it! (I hope.)
