We're almost to the end of the month, so how did you do on your savings goals? I went to 2 stores this week, Target and the grocery store. Here are the totals:
Target: 4 candy bars, 2 trial size sunscreen, band-aids, and 2 packs of 10 cups each
Used: 4 Target coupons, 2 printables, and 1 from All You
Total: $1.21
Groceries: 3 gallons of milk, dishwasher detergent, paper towels, 4 Bagel-fuls (.55), 4 Ritz Toasted Chips (.50), Salad Finishers (free rebate item), 2 dozen eggs, bananas, strawberries, green beans, lettuce, grapes, peaches, yogurt (free), McCormick onion seasoning (free), ketchup (free), salad spritzer (free); 26 items in two transactions
Used: 14 coupons (only 10 were doubled; 8 were printables and 2 were for free product)
Total: $25.92! (and submit for $2.79 rebate)
Week 4 total: $26.13 (26 items plus Target)
Week 1: $55.82 (51 items plus CVS and Wags)
Week 2: $51.03 (25 items)
Week 3: $53.23 (55 items)
May Monthly Total: $186.21!
My intention was to shave $50 off my $275 budget by doubling less coupons at the grocery store. Well, that didn't work (especially last week when I doubled 20)! I've been trying to do less grocery stockpiling (it's hard to stop cold-turkey!) and we've been using more of what we have on hand. However, saying no to Walgreens and CVS has really helped my budget this month, and I was still able to surpass my goal! It's been fun to challenge myself to save!

Way to go Jessica!
You did a great job cutting your budget!
You are AWESOME!
Nice job shaving off the $$’s.
I love it when you can tell us how and what you use when you buy stuff. It’s really helpful. I have not yet done the double couponing yet. I made my list and pulled the coupons but got too busy to go. So I will have to try again next week.
Thanks so much for your blog. I love reading it and trying to utilize your tips and recipes ect.
Keep up the great work your doing, pleeeeease,
Lisa
