8-15 Deals


This week I decided to try something different. I normally go deal shopping later in the week, but I find I have issues find items. So this week I went on Sunday. I only had 1 issue finding an item and I think it was because my local store does not carry it. I went to Target, K-mart, Dollar General and Walgreens. I also have one deal from last week that I forgot to include. Here we go!!

(4) Glade Limited Addition- pd ($0.46) for all 4
(2) Axe Shower Gel-pd $4.48 for both
(2) Pampers Wipes- FREE
K-mart:

Disney Fund Update 8-14-10

Last time I updates we had $103 dollars in the Disney fund. I have done a HORRIBLE job of keeping up with this! I also have been rolling my weekly money instead of putting in the Disney fund like I have meant to. So therefor I am a FAILURE! LOL

I have been using our printer to print out online coupons, so my husband is making me spend Disney money to pay for the new ink. So I had to take out $20 for that.

I got a rebate check for $6 from the Armor All rebate I sent in for.

So this is what we have now:
$103 - $20 for the ink= $83
$83 + $6 for the Armor All rebate= $89

Now we have $89

I hope to do better at adding in left over deal money, since that was the whole point of starting the Disney fund in the first place!

8-8 Deals!!


This week was part good and part BUST! I shopped at Target, Walgreens and Dollar General. The one that was a bust was Walgreens. I set out for 3 deals and only ended up with one, but I guess that is better than none.
Here is the run down of what I got.
TARGET:
(4) Cat Treats: $0.16 each
(6) Shout 4 pack: FREE
(3) St. Ives Travel Body Wash: FREE
Walgreens:
(2 boxes) U by Kotex Tampons: $0.50 each

Disney Fund 7/18

This week was a GREAT week for the Disney Fund!!

I never posted how much I had from last weeks $10, actully the last 2 weeks $10. So for the last week I had $10 left.

I received a rebate check from SC Johnson for $5.

I also got called to do a marketing research round table discussion. It paid $75. I get there and they didn't need me, but I still got paid the entire $75. We are taking $25 out and my husband (Dan) is taking my to dinner and a movie. The $50 left is going into the Disney Fund.

I have also been paying less than $1 amounts with $1 and putting the change in a piggy bank. So I am only going to account for dollars. Once the piggy bank is full I will cash it in and add it to the Disney Fund.

So we are adding a total of $65 to the fund for the past 2 weeks.

We now have a total of $103 in the Disney fund!! WHOO HOO!!!!

7/18 Deals

Well ladies this week was a bust! I am soo upset!

For the 1st time I had a horrible trip to Target! The cashier was rude and then when a coupon would beep she would just take it and act like it worked, when it didn't! After getting to my car and really looking at my receipt I immediately went back in the store and returned everything to get my money back!

Walgreens was not much better. I couldn't seem to find anything I went for. I am going to attempt to go back tomorrow. I hope I have more luck!

We will see! I hope you all had a better week than me!!

Disney Fund 7-6-10

Dan and I have decided that we are going to go to Disney World in 4 years. It's a long story why 4 years, but there is a reason. Anyway I have decided that I want to fund our trip! With all the savings, rebates, side jobs, etc. So this is the 1st post with what is in the Disney Fund.

Another thing that we are doing is Dan is going to give me $10 a week to use for my "deals". At the end of each week what is left will also go in this fund. That was started this week!

So I have been couponing for a little over a month now. I really started June 1st ish. In the past week I have saved:

$1.27 in change
$20.00 for Dog sitting my parents dog
$10.00 from a return
$10.00 from a SC Johnson Rebate
$3.00 from my grandma b/c she bought some of the things I got really cheap.

Grand Total of $44.27

Not bad for ONE month of saving!
