I had a big week! This was the first time I had ever ordered coupons, and I don't know why I was such a big dork and nervous about using them. I think I did really good this week, and I got soooo much stuff! (Good thing becaue next week dones't look very good!)

3 Triscuits (These and the Wheat Thins will go towards the rebate)
2 Wheat Thins

1 Pam Spray
1 Reddi Wip
3 BC Cake Mix
1 BC Frosting

I also got $2 off eggs cat.

Transaction #3:

3 Wheat Thins
4 BC Brownie Mix
1 Cake Pan (Free with BC deal)
Total OOP: $8.00
Card and Q savings: $19.94
I also got $2 off eggs cat.

Not bad considering my precouponing days I would spend $100, save $20 and be happy with that! My my, how things change!!
My mom wants me to bring my binder and receipts home so she can see first hand, lol!

You did great Kelly! It's so wonderful that your mom wants to see what you are doing and supportive. :)

Wow was it crazy at GE today. I don't have an itemized list of everything, but I bought 137 items. Original price would have been 212.36, I paid 96.41 OOP and got 3 Steeler bucks and four 5 OYNO and one 2 egg cat. Pretty good shopping today. I was bummed thought that I couldn't find the energizer batteries anywhere or Marcal napkins.

UPDATE... I figured I would list some of the good deals that came with my orders. I did 4 different transactions.

1. 4 Febreze
1 Birds eye (had to get the Steeler bucks)
2 ICBINB sticks
I used (4) $1 Febreze coupons and $1 Bird's eye coupon and (2) $1 ICBINB coupons.
OOP 10.60, but got $5 OYNO and $2 OYNO and Steeler bucks

2. 4 Dawn Hand renewal
used (4) 50 c. coupons and $5 OYNO
OOP 1.48 and got 5 OYNO

3. 4 Febreze
1 Birds eye
used (4) Febreze coupons and $5 OYNO
OOP 1.60 and got $5 OYNO pluse Steeler bucks

4. Very big, but some highlights were:
48 Purine chewy treats
10 Hefty plates
4 BC icing
3 more Febreze
Baking items, diapers, wipes
used (12) $4 Purina coupons, 10 Hefty 50c coupons, (4) .50 BC icing, (3) $1 FEbreze and lots of other stuff with coupons too, but too long to list. Used $5 OYNO, (2) $2 Egg cats, $5 off GE coupon by mail, and a $2 OYNO
OOP 82.72, got another $5 on your next order, $2 egg cat and steeler bucks.

I like seeing when a total goes from over $170 down to 82.
OOP 82.73

I spent $14 today on a quick trip (my doc was supposed to have called in a script, but I think there was a disconnect between him and their VM).
I got
3 Bags of Purina One cat food
2 boxes Cheese Nips (kids don't like Wheat Thins)
1 box Wheat Thins (husbands)
2 Birds Eye
4 Dawn
1 Mr Clean spray
3 Febreeze air effects
1 Kraft shredded cheese
1 Kraft block cheese

I still have my 2 $5 OYNO left to take to the store in the afternoon.
Cat has food for quite a while too (George likey the Purina One so far).
I was pretty proud that I got as much as I did for so little in so much pain! (Doc thinks I ripped a muscle or cracked a rib with the coughing I had going on through this bronchitis)
So, I'll be getting all of my other fun stuff in the afternoon, yay!

My turn..not the best of brags, but it is the day before Thanksgiving and I had all 5 of my kids with me..9, 8 5, 2 and 4 months old...than in itself was a feat.

I had to go to 2 different stores, but

20 febreeze
20 popcorn
22 Swiss miss
10 Birds Eye
6 Energizer batteries
2 ICBINB

19.xxoop
30 Black and Gold bucks
14 oyno left to spend

Still have 18 more Swiss Miss to buy, 2 Mr Clean and 2 Dawn...planning on rolling the oyno that I have left.
Hoping I can run to the store and not let the coupons go to waste..the 2 yr old started with a cold, hubby and the boys are at basketball practice and I still need to go to sleep so I can go to work tonite..
