No, no, this won't be all I blog about anymore, I promise. But perfecting my new craft and hobby, while dealing with two little twerps who have decided they are too cool for naps, has made me a very busy mamma!
In the Week 1 post, I set a few goals for this week . I said that I wanted to see a 40% savings at the grocery store, and to get our total purchase under $200, and a 60% savings at Target, spending no more than $40.00 for the week. Well, turns out I needed diapers and printer ink so we went way over $40 at Target!
This week was rough at Safeway. I'm finding that actual grocery (not toiletries) coupons are hard to come by. I did manage to keep my total just under $200.00 though, and I saved a total of $90.48, which was $46% of my bill and meets the goal I set for myself!
At Target, I saved $67.13, that was 40% of my bill. Not exactly the 60% I was hoping for, but really, that's fantastic considering that 64% ($107.06) of my bill was diapers and printer ink, which almost never go on sale or have significant coupons. That means I saved 67% off the rest of my stuff this week.
I also ventured to Walgreens this week. With the new no napping business we need excuses to get out of the house, and although Walgreens is the furthest store from me, I've been impressed with their sales and coupons in the past two weeks since I started this new adventure. Boy, am I glad I did it! I saved $56.63, which was 189% of my total bill! I swear I even got paid to take a few items home with me!

| 29 Items = $23.95 - That's like paying $0.82 per item! |
A few of my bast deals this week:
- Diaper Bag = $0.00
- Complete Contact Solution = (- $1.00)
- 2 Degree Deodorants = (-0.06)
- 2 Suave Deodorants = $0.09 each
- 4 Old Spice Body Washes = $2.00 plus two free deodorants and 2 free body sprays.
Well, we'll never need deodorant again! But, if we do, I swear, I'll never pay for it again!
I always admire the organizational skills required for couponing! And who wouldn't love free deodorant??
