We all know the economy sucks and everyone is looking for ways to cut back and save a few bucks. My family is no different. I save a ton of money each month with coupons and other deals. I will be tracking my coupon savings weekly so you can see how I save and maybe find a deal or 2 you can use too! Be sure to check out the links on the right side of the page for more great savings inspiration. Happy Saving!

March 2011 Week 2

Not a great Week, but there were definitely some deals out there to be found...

Kmart (spent $5.06 saved $20.00) I did 2 transactions here so that I could use those 2 $10 coupons from last week. After getting home, I realized that the Coke rang up .30 higher than they were supposed to, which was an additional $3.00 out of pocket, but I hate Kmart with passion and decided that it was not worth the $3 to go back in there! Both transactions were identical.
6 Diet Coke 2 Liters
1 bottle Extra Virgin Olive Oil

PetSmart (spent $20.26 saved $9.00)
2 (20 lb) bags Pedigree
 
Kroger (spent $14.17 saved $24.62) also had $3 Cellfire bonus coupon!
1 canister Kroger Shortening
1 (2 lb) bag Kroger Powdered Sugar
4 pkg Butterfinger Snackers (used two $1/2 MQ and $1/2 Kroger EQ)
2 boxes Corn Chex (used two 0.50 MQ)
2 boxes Rice Chex (used two 0.50 MQ)
1 (12 Roll) pkg Charmin (used $1 MQ and $3 Kroger EQ)
2 bottles Silk Soy Milk (used two $1 MQ)


Amazon (spent $22.34 saved $9.57) On Amazon, if you sign up for Amazon Mom, you get free 2-day shipping and and extra 15% off diapers and wipes.
Right now they are also running a deal when you sign up for subscribe and save, you get an additional 15% off (I selected the 6 month shipment, that way when my diapers come in a couple days I can cancel the subscription and not be billed again.)
There is often a 20% off coupon code for the diapers in the American Baby or Parenting magazine, which I did not have this time :(
1 (156 ct) box Huggies Diapers

Adding it all up:
Total Grocery Bill $ 125.02
Total Savings $ 63.19
Total Out of Pocket $ 61.83
Percent Saved 51%
