I was really surprised to discover that I had not been to CVS since before Christmas, in fact, my ECBs expire this week. The reason behind my long absence has been simple, no really deals that I wanted\/needed to grab.\u00a0 This week was a huge change. I started the trip with 2 $0.89 ECB. I also received $2 ECB for winter spending on Matt’s card.<\/p>\n
Here is a breakdown by the numbers
\n5 total transactions,( one of my card and four on Matt’s).
\n$7.88 total spent
\n$84.72 total saved of 91% with taxes included and 95% taking out the $3.68 of sales tax
\n$6.50 in ECB left.<\/p>\n
I purchased:
\n6 12 pack of Coke (Used 6 free 12 pack coupons from my Coke rewards)
\n4 packs of M&M ( used 2 Buy One Get One Free coupons)
\n2 2L Liters (used a 0.24 coupon that printed from red machine)
\n4 Bottles so L’Oreal Shampoo ( used 2- $4\/2 from 01\/03)
\n2\u00a0 Packages of Crest Sensi strips.<\/p>\n

This is one for the record books!\u00a0 My total grocery spending is less than $12 for the month so far!\u00a0 I did make a trip to the building today to check out what we have in the freezers and did a little bit of organizing so we can get our pork order from Zaycon tomorrow. We have enough of a variety with the pork order that I am going to say we are going to plan on coming in under goal for this month of $200 and reduce the grocery spending in February to $500. That will get us totally on the right foot with groceries and may in fact help to control\/reduce grocery spending for the year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
