Brooke's even Better Bargains

Each week, I get a little better at getting the best deals. I am also venturing out to more stores which is fun. Actually I will admit that since I started this couponing thing, I am pretty excited about shopping now. I find myself anticipating the weekly sales paper and find it thrilling to get things for FREE or little money OOP! Thanks to Jenny at http://www.southernsavers.com/ this task doesn't feel like a chore anymore.

Didn't make my goal of 60% or more savings at every store this week, but I am okay with it.

Here goes:

Since it is back to school time I thought I would rack up on some supplies at Office Depot. You won't believe this!

Office Depot total ticket: $43.53
Total saved in store: 17.06 (40%)
Total spent in store: $26.47
Total mail in rebates: 27.26
My Profit: .79

I MADE MONEY BY SHOPPING!

CVS total ticket: $28.88
Total saved: $23.33 (81%)
Total spent: $5.55
Cash back: $5.00

Okay, you must know the items I got for 55 cents. 2 VO5 shampoos, 1 gillette pro fusion razor with 3 cartridges (not disposable), 2 12 packs of coke, 2 scotch magic tape refills.

Walgreens total ticket: $15.38
Total saved: $8.75 (57%)
Total spent: $6.63

Winn Dixie total ticket: 63.36
Total saved: 23.62 (37%)
Total spent: 39.74
Cash back: $5.00

Winn Dixie was my worst experience this week. I only bought items that were on sale, but I didn't have a single coupon. :(

Let me know about your savings.

Until next time...

XOXOXOXO
