These deals are good from December 20-December 26. I plan to spend next Saturday taking up many of these great offers!
Also, don't forget to get your paper on Sunday! In some cases it pays to buy two, just check ahead of time to make sure there are coupon booklets in that Sunday's paper.
Robitussin is $6.99 each. If you spend $10 on Robitussin products then you get back $3 in RR's! There were several $1/1 coupons in the paper which means after Q's and RR's you could pay as little as $4.49 each.
Dove shampoo/conditioner/styling products - Buy 2 get one FREE ($4.99 each)
$1.50/1 conditioner
$1.00/1 any hair care product
Pay as little as $2.49 each.
Kleenex 78 or 110 sheets - Walgreens Q for $.79 each
$.50/3 manufacturer's Q
Makes them $.62 each!
Campbell's Chicken Noodle or Tomato soup - Walgreen's Q for $.59 each
$.40/4 manufacturer's Q
Makes them $.49 each!
Russel Stover Boxed Chocolate 11 to 12oz - Walgreen's Q for $3.99 each
$1/1 maufacturer's Q
Just $2.99!
Hot Wheels Vehicle - Walgreen's Q for $.49 each (limit of 10)...this isn't something I intend to buy, but it's a great deal for those of you with kids into Hot Wheels OR a great item to buy and donate to Toys for Tots.

Back in the game
It was really weird getting back into hard core couponing again after a several month hiatus. The big disadvantage? Having to re-build our stash/stockpile. There are a few things we still have together but there is even more that we don't and unfortunately it takes money to build that up. Anywho. Here's how this week has gone so far...
Since I'm not working and Steven only gets paid bi-weekly, I try to do the majority of our shopping on payday and just get essentials and really great steal deals the following week. My big tip for you is to check out IheartPublix an amazing blog IMHO. She posts the weekly ad information along with links to some printable coupons on Monday night. This is a great help because not everyone is lucky enough to have it come in their mail on Tuesday, and if you don't get it then, you have to wait until the store releases it on Thursday! It's a big help for me to know what is on sale the upcoming week so that I can save even more. Example: We ran out of mayo. I was planning on just grabbing a jar during my trip today something that would have cost me $3-4 for one jar, however, after checking out IheartPublix, I found out that mayo is going BOGO next week! Same price for two!
Currently we aim for $60-70 each week for groceries since we have to provide for 2 adults, 1 toddler and 2 large dogs. Which means I had a cap of $120 today for two weeks worth of groceries and I did it! We'll need a little more than normal thanks to Chirstmas next week and multiple Christmas parties and celebrations between now and then (which require extra baking and cooking). Plus, I got extra of a few things to fill the cabinets.
Total before tax, coupons and savings: $188.76
Total saved: $77.24
Total spent before tax: $111.52
My best deals of the day: (after sales and coupons)
Juicy Juice bottles (BOGO) normally - $3.49each paid - $1.25 each!
Tylenol Cold and Sinus (on sale) normally $5.69each paid - $1.99
Kraft Mac N Cheese (BOGO) at $1.29each - B3G1 FREE coupon = $.32 each!!!
Chex Cereal (BOGO) normally - $3.49each paid - $1.25 each
Betty Crocker Mufin Mix (BOGO) normally - $2.59each paid - $.90 each!
Green Giant Steamers (BOGO) normally - $2.39each paid - $.75each!
There are many other great sales out there but stock up quick because they end tomorrow!

Being Frugal...
The last year has brought about some pretty significant changes in our lives. My husband and I have both lost our jobs, I'm unemployed and going to school full time, he's making half what he was, and we are facing bankruptcy and the loss of many things that make our lives comfortable. So, in an effort to try and lower our outgoing costs I'm looking into saving money and cutting costs anywhere, and in anyway that I can.
By looking up some amazing blogs, and searching the internet high and low for great deals and sites, I've made a huge impact already and I haven't even fully started yet.
If you are looking into starting a savings journey as well, here are a few good places to start...I hope you'll join me on this journey as I change our budgets to fit our changing life.
