I am sure you all are tired of hearing about the Huggies coupons on the coupon bar to the right. Well I will make this brief and tell you that they have been reset so go and print 2 more. Remember to use them tomorrow at Walgreens to get 3 packs of diapers for about 5.00.

K-Mart double coupons!!

KMart is doing it again! Many stores around the nation are offering Super Double Coupons from October 1 (that's today!) through October 5, 2008. And this time around, the Bloomingdale and Crystal Lake stores are included!

There are some exclusions and details which need to be noted: Coupons up to and including $2 will be doubled. No overage will be given. Only 4 of the same coupon may be used per transaction. Limit of 75 coupons per customer per day. No printable coupons will be accepted.

That said, there are likely plenty of great deals to be had. Mercedes lists a bunch of deals she came up with here.

It's been so long since any store around here has had super doubles, so I will be going for sure! My pocketbook can use all the help it can get this month!

doing good so far!

Well, let's see.......since I last posted, I did the hot dog, bun and watermelon deal at Jewel (Albertsons) adding Gatorade at the last minute and spent $6.17 and had savings of $24 something. I also went to Walmart for school supplies, did really well on that and also bought my 2 sure deodorants for the mail in rebate using a coupon each on the deodorants. I also bought Honey nut cheerios and Lucky charms with the q's I had. My total was $34.82 and I had a total of $8.55 in q's. Friday I did the diaper deal again at Walgreens and with my 5.00 rebate back I bought a cute candle that was on clearance for the family room I just painted. Today though was my best at Walgreens yet.....I bought 5 powerades, 2 schick razors, 3 boxes of cereal all for $11.17 and had $23.60 in savings. I used 3 Powerade q's, B1G1 for the razors, and 2 $1.00 off the cereal plus the Powerade q in this weeks flyer, and the 2.00 off from the July savings ad. Not bad for a newbie!!

So for me it is really about changing my thought process since I now have more razors, diapers, and powerades than ever in this house, but I won't need them for quite awhile. Especially since Powerades are treats and we drink mostly water and juice.

I did do the math and added all my receipts and my savings......I was shocked!!! I thought I was pretty frugal but doing these deals has made me see that I can really pinch it if I pay attention to the sales ads, keep my q's organized and go to more than one store. So far since June 25th I have spent $140.00 and saved......drumroll please $104. and some change!! This total does not include the 114.00 I spent at Aldi on July 5th since that was normal grocery shopping for me. I hope to keep adding to my stashes around here so that next week when I go to Aldi and our harvest market I will only spend 50.00 total......that will shock the hubby!! I al;so took 100 from my paycheck and put it in an envelope that I hope will not need to be used until Christmas!
