Mama's Little Loves

Trip to Walgreens included:

1. 4 Zarbee's cough syrup
2. 8 Vick's Sinex
3. 6 bags of Ricola cough drops
4. 4 Olay Regenerist face scrub
5. 1 Olay body lotion
6. 2 Olay body wash
7. 6 Secret deoderant
8. 2 Old Spice body sprays
9. 2 packs of 2 each Olay soap
10. not pictured were 11 caramel pieces (filler items)
11. not pictured were 3 hi liters (filler items)

I spent $20.20 out of pocket. I used $40.20 in RR and got back $64.00 in RR!!! That was a $23.80 money maker in RR's. Too bad I couldn't get that back in cash. Oh well. I will use some of that for groceries if needed this week.

I also went to Meijer and got:

1. 2 Sunday newspapers (for coupons)
2. 1 case of pop for Caleb--yes, I know, horribly horrible for him but I would rather buy it and save some money on it rather than him buy it at the gas station like he has been doing.
3. 1 Diet Coke for me--yes, I know horribly horrible. I need to kick my caffeine habit.
4. 2 loafs of bread
5. bananas
6. 1 onion

I used $6.00 in Meijer CAT's that I had and a $5.00 RR from Walgreens which brought my total to $2.43. Not too shabby.

So for this monthly experiment, I am going to try to separate money spent on deals and money spent on food and see where I come out at. As of right now it is $20.20 on deals and $2.43 on food. I will try to separate the two as best I can through out the month and hopefully come in at under $300.00. Join me if you would like and see how each penny is spent and where it goes.
