February 26, 2008



The final day of Randalls Savings Rally...almost glad! I ended up with a total of 286 items for a total of $7.07 out of pocket and still have $21.32 left on a gift card since some of the catalinas did not print and they just gave me a gift card in place of it. My score today was:

4 tomatoes
1 jar artichokes
1 green pepper
2 Tava used $1.50
7 Pasta Roni
6 Green Giant veggies used .50/2, first one doubled
2 Betty Crocker frosting used .50¢, first one doubled
2 Betty Crocker cookie mixes used .60¢
2 Betty Crocker fruit snacks used .50/2 doubled
4 Clorox bleach used $1
1 Eating Right pasta used $1
1 Mahatma rice used .35¢ tripled

oop ZERO since I used a $20 catalina from the prior order and still have $21.32 left to use on a gift card!


Kroger

21 snack size oranges used .35¢ coupons that tripled
1 Kroger brand pasta sauce used free item coupon that someone left there

oop ZERO

Target

3 - 32 oz Stoneyfield Farm yogurt used free item coupon

oop ZERO

I also got a $5 rebate check in the mail today...wohoo!

I have decided, after many people talked to me about it, that I will no longer include items I sell on ebay in my budget. I will include any coupons that I buy though, since that is the cost of doing business.

Many of you may not realize but my goal was to spend $800 or less a year. Right now with my rebates, and the few transactions I sold on ebay I am at $1110.81 available to spend. What does this mean? This means that basically my net spending this year so far is -310.81 and I could spend $310.81 on crazy stuff with out the use of coupons...and still not have spent a dime of my money. But we all know...I won't do that, lol.

Total available to spend $1110.81

total saved for the year $1924.50
