2 packs of Riccola cough drops
4 big pack of gum
Oh and free 8 X 12 pic that I sent to photo shop must pick up tommorrow
Total was $2.36

Smiths: (had a little drama here don't do self checkout with coupons BAD IDEA I held us up by like 15 minutes but the little checker lady was nice so that was good
4 Carnation evaporated milk
3 Colgate toothpastes
3 boxes of Hot chocolate Mix
12 Big Lindt Chocolate bars
Total 8.36

Albertsons: out of everything but I got
2 boxes of Veg for a dollar

Walmart
I had other that coupon shopping to do here but I felt that I did really well I, I won't list it all but the checker rang me up and it was like 101.00 and when I gave her my coupons it came to $55.00 i WAS LOVING IT I did not have coupons for everything there but I know that if I did it would be much less! I got 50 razors for free! YEAH I love it ! Thanks Keri for making me jealous with all the great deals you are a awesome person! Amanda Thanks for going along on the journey with me and your DH has been awesome to help us ! We are going to save lots of money for our families.

I just want to say if you have a family big or small this is such a great way to help make your money stretch it does require a little work and organization but your saving money and if you are lucky enough to get to stay home with your little ones this can make a big difference in your families life!

Ok and I also did a 40lb box of chicken thanks to Keri again, I canned it all up and now I have 40 more meals on my shelf, I never knew what a blessing those bottles can be , I did it for ease, and now looking at it I realize that wow if we had to eat our food storage and not go to the store ect.... my family could always eat a meat with one meal a day! I don't have 365 bottles but currently with all the other meats I have bottle I am like a third of the way there! Don't be scared of pressure cookers they are awesome and the time I put in really saves me time and money and could be a real blessing to my famly if that need arises ! So once again thanks Keri you are awesome!
