Free fabric softener and cupcakes!!!

Last night I made a trip to Walmart to do some Christmas shopping and picked up a few other needed items. I had coupons for $2.00 any Snuggle brand product, and there were boxes of softener sheets on the shelf for $1.87 each. I had 2 coupons, making them both free plus overage. Also, a while back I entered a contest and won a box of Little Debbie chocolate cupcakes, and I have been waiting to redeem my free coupon. As the ILs are taking us to Disney (minus gas to get there, food and any souveneirs), these will make a nice treat. I have been stocking up on cheap snacks to take with us, to help save a little bit of money.

So far in my box I have:
Little Debbie cupcakes
3 single serve bowls of Honey Nut Cheerios
cheese crackers
Chex Mix (4 bags)
Peanut Butter
Granola Bars (2 types)
Quaker True Delight bars
Chex Mix bars
Goldfish (2 bags)
Applesauce
Club crackers
Cheez-its (2 small boxes)
dried cranberries
dried fruit bits
raisins

Everything was pretty much either free or under $1, by using coupons.

Saturday's savings

Walgreen's this morning added $2.00 in coupon savings to my piggy bank's total. I used $1.00 off coupon on Lindsay olives and 2 (.50 off) Progresso soup coupons.

another $1.00 up

saved $1.00 on Hillshire farms lil' smokies at the store last night. I'll be wrapping them in crescent roll dough and eating them for lunch today!

Piggy has eaten $33.73 in coupons so far this month!

Quick catch-up

Haven't done much shopping lately as it's been so cold that I haven't wanted to go outside! However I did run to Walgreens this week and got a few items, mainly their free after RR deals. I did however purchase some Chinet paper plates that were on sale for 2.99 B1G1. I had a $1.00 off coupon that I used, which brought that total down to $1.99 for 2 packs. Perhaps not the best deal, but they are good quality and I will be taking them with us when we go out of town over Christmas. We are planning on driving down to Florida to visit my BIL and SIL and we'll be taking along stuff to eat on the way there. As a side note, I always try to keep paper plates, plasticware, paper towels, snacks, drinks (bottled water usually) in the car at all times. This is especially great during the summer for impromptu picnics.

I do, however need to go to the grocery store today as the cupboards are incredibly bare. I was hoping to hold off till DH got paid again on Tuesday but there is no way that is going to happen with what we do have left!

Wednesday night at Schnucks

Had to make a quick run to Schnucks last night for a few things. Picked up some lightbulbs, 5 bags of Chex Mix that were on sale, a bag of pretzels, some juice drinks...and I think that is it. Anyways, I used $1.50 in coupons for the Chex Mix, which makes Piggy grow to $31.73 in savings!

Quick grocery run

I needed to get a few things from the grocery store, mainly Ziplocs to re-package the tons of meat I bought on Sunday at SAMS Club.

My coupon savings totaled to a whole whopping $1.00, but because I bought 3 boxes of ziplocs, I can turn around and submit for this $5.00 rebate through SCJohnson. This adds $6.00 to my piggy bank, bringing my total to $30.23!
