In preparation for our trip, we have been taking inventory and making a list of needed items. The goal is that once we start packing, I don’t have to run out in a panic to grab items. A unique challenge is that this trip is actually longer than our normal ones by 3 days. I also have absolute no plans for doing laundry on vacation.\u00a0 The girls , Kendall and I spent most of the day in Winston- Salem shopping but we manage to maintain some decent savings as well.<\/p>\n

But first, I am going to start with Matt’s savings, one of the blogs I regular follow\u00a0Couponing to Disney<\/a>, posted yesterday about combining Dollar General digital coupons and Ibotta. Matt was able to purchase 8 20 oz drinks for $10.17 in the store. He came home and submitted the items to Ibotta and with a $5 bonus received back $8 in rebates.\u00a0 This puts his total out of pocket to $2.17 for 8 drinks or 27 cent each. Total Savings $9.50<\/strong><\/p>\n

The girls and I stopped for lunch between piano and shopping. I used my McDonald’s app to grab 10 chicken nuggets for $2. Because we always carry drinks, our total was $7.91 to feed all three of us. For the sake of fairness I am only count the saving from the app in my grand total. \u00a0App savings $1.98<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, I received a “rebate\/coupon” from a “settlement ” with the Justice company for $30.\u00a0 I vaguely remember filling out a form online. Lily was able to find 2 bras she liked for a total out of pocket of $1.92 cent.\u00a0Total Savings 30.00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our next stop was JC Penny. I will admit to splurging on several items that were not on my “need” list but I am so glad I did. We ended up purchasing 4 bras, 2 dresses (that matched) and a pink pair of converses for Kendall. I saw the person in front of me use a coupon and asked. The sales associate had a coupon for 15% off. I was also able to use a $10 reward coupon that was sent with my new credit card.\u00a0Total Savings $42.11<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the inventory I realized that I was in need of some items as well. I headed to Lane Bryant where I asked to ring up 2 separate purchases to use a coupon that was sent via text twice. \u00a0Total Savings $93.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kendall requested to go to Walmart to check out the Christmas Ornaments, she has a $25 gift card from her birthday to use for this purpose. I did purchase 5 2-liter Diet Coke. \u00a0Total Savings $2.50<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grand total for saving today $179. \u00a0 Not bad for a Saturday in my book!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
