Updated my shopping list

If you have not been following this year, we are trying to save money on our grocery bill. 

I have created a grocery list and expense sheet so we can keep up with our spending. I went ahead and started mine as of last week. You can start it whenever you like. 

My goal is to help you save money on your grocery bill without stress. When I first started couponing, I made a list of everything I bought on sale. Then, if it went on sale somewhere else, I would know if it was a good price or not. You do not have to do this but it really help me save money. Now I can pretty much rattle off what is a good price for several items. 

I stopped at my Dollar Tree last night and picked up a couple of items.

• Capri Sun resealable 4 packs  (I bought 3, really great deal)
• Tortellini (For next week, another great deal)
• Cheese puffs..(They just looked good)
• Tomato Sauce and hotdogs (daughter and her slob)
• Suckers (we eat a lot of candy)
• Vienna sausages (cause #3 & 4 love them)

I spent $12.00 on items I just "had" to have.

I'm going back to Homeland today to get another Kraft deal. Here are some coupons available.

• Mayo $1.99 (50¢ SS 1/18)
• Miracle Whip $1.99 (50¢ coupon or $1/2 SS 1/18)
• Peanut Butter $1.49 ($1/2 Homeland Book or coupon)
• Philadelphia Cream Cheese $1.49 (50¢ coupon)
• Parmesan Cheese $2.99 (75¢ coupon)

If you purchase the items above and the remaining in Jello or Pudding, it would only cost you $8.40. That equals to 84¢ an item.

My printer has lost it's mind so I can't print. My plan is to get the mayo, miracle whip, peanut butter, jello and pudding. It will cost me $8.90. Which 89¢ a piece is still not bad. 

If you plan on stopping by CVS today, don't miss the Spend $12 get $6.00 extra bucks deal going with Colgate, Speed Stick, Irish Spring and Soft Soap. I realize this is not part of our grocery bill, but it will save you some money. Each had a coupon in the paper this weekend and you can mix or match deals. There is also a Speed Stick coupon available to print here to go with this deal.

I will let you know the deals I pick up.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! I love to help and will do what ever I can to help.

Thanks for following.

CVS Tresemme Possible Money Maker 1/29 *updated*

*UPDATE*
A couple of sites have stated that the B1G1 coupon is only taking $3.50 off which is fine. So here is the update deal.

Tresemme 2/$7.00
$2.00 off any two(2) Tresemme products
B1G1 Free RP 1/27
75¢ Ibotta, if included in sale  (Sign up for free here) 
Possible total after Ibotta refund: 75¢ for 2


Tresemme is a mm this week if you received the $2 off two Tresemme haircare products from the magic machine and stack it with the B1G1 Free from RP 1/27. 

For my new couponers, this is how it works and explained in English.

Tresemme shampoo and conditioner is 2/$7.00.

The magic machine is the big red box in CVS, that you scan your card on "daily" to receive coupons. It was printing (and may still print) $2 off two Tresemme haircare products. Since it does not specify, it can be for any Tresemme item. But to get the best deal, you always match up with what is on sale. Then Buy 1 Get 1 free is taking off $6, plus you stack (included) the $2 off is makes it a $1 money maker!

HOWEVER, at CVS, they will not give you money back so make sure you purchase something else to use your extra dollar on (the overage).

If I have just totally confused you, I'm very good at that...just ask my kids.

Leave me a message and I will answer any questions. ;)
