I came home from work, spent an hour or so rounding up/cutting out coupons and checking ads then I went shopping. I hit just Krogers and Walgreens. Tomorrow will be target but I am already a winner and $105.47 to the good. Walgreens was a smaller trip so I will start with that.

I won't go through all the individual things from Krogers but highlights are

My Total savings was $58.27, $37.86 in MFG coupons, $18.70 in store coupons and plus card savings, $1.70 in bonus savings (double Coupons)amounting to 56% of my total!

I will hit Target tomorrow after work but one thing I have to do and fast is find an organization system that works and get it together... It is difficult to find things just stuffed into an envelope.

If you sign up at Redbox now they will give you a code for a free movie rental Free Movie Rental

AND a biggie. You can get free Oreo cookies tomorrow and download more savings at Nabisco Cookies This is good tomorrow June 7th and for the first Monday of each month for the rest of 2010 *while supplies last* To get the cookies you must buy a bag of cookies and a gallon of milk. Limit one per household.

OK so I have been trying to come up with some ways to start cutting some regular costs around here. I have been perusing The Coupon Goddess which led me to Hip2Save and Totally Target. So I sent DS#2 out this morning to get the Sunday paper and discover my wealth! Thought I would use what I have learned to save some $$$.

K-Mart is also on the Gift Card bandwagon. Get a $10 GC when you buy $35 or more in P&G products. This is if you are a Shop YouWay Rewards member only so it would pay to sign up.

OK, that's it for now, I need to get ready for work unfortunately! :-(

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

I joined a program today called SocialSpark. This is a program where bloggers have a chance to try and review products and write about them in their blogs! I like that idea since I sure love to give my opinion!(+) You are free to say or write whatever you want regarding those products.You get paid to offer your opinions...good, bad or otherwise!(+) I also get a chance to offer you some great coupons for the products I review as well and I just love gift giving so this seems like the perfect fit.(+)


The sign up process was quick and easy (+). The first challenge was to write about the process which was also easy (+). You can also donate the money you earn to charities (+++)(susan G Komen and The American Red Cross are on the list) You get to choose which offers appeal to you as well (+)So? Am I making you think you might want to give it a try?

You can go to SocialSpark to sign up or better yet, read their Code of Ethics before for you decide.

Give it whirl and see what falls out. You don't have a thing to lose!
