After a rough start I am hoping for a quite month.

After being on heavy duty antibiotics for a week I am feeling better and my Asthma seems to be under control again. I was able to get out a little and get a few deals.

Today 2/12/09:
Shop n Save they are having their $10.00 off when you spend $50.00 but I went in with no real plan (big mistake) Normally I stick right to that $50.00 or split into 2 $50.00 to maximize the deal but I was tired and didn't bring my calculator. I purchase a 100.00 GC for $90.00 (Q in the Entertainment Book) because I needed to start using up those coupons and this seems to be a month that I may have extra money.
3.39 Kashi Honey Seasame Crackers -3.39 Q

5.00 Culinary Circle Sausage Pizza
1.25 Dr Pepper 2 L - 1.25Q WYB above Pizza
5.39 Tyson Honey Tenders -1.00Q (DS has been bugging me for these)
1.74 x 6 PopTarts 12 pack -1.00/2 x 3 (another DS request)
1.34 R&F Spaghetti 2lb package
2.50 x5 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks -1.50/5 RR from a couple of weeks ago
____
75.84 (see I went way over -10.00 final total 38.77 Not to bad I guess. Used gift card from last May.
Plus I got a $3.00 RR and .03 off my next gas purchase.


Running total for the month
$480.18 -$20.31 -$43.62 -$30.56 - $90.00 = $295.69

I have already been checking out next weeks ads and I don't see much.
I know I still have to buy the FAR items from Walgreens and I have been picking up a couple of razors this week to get the $6.00 RR. Price w/ tax 5.34 on WAG GC.
I also had a Tupperware party so I am sure I will be spending more than I should there but they had some great deals.
