Our visitors have left, and I am now back to my regular shopping routine. I did spend extra this week though, as my middle son is turning six next week, and I have promised him a big party. Thankfully I have been shopping year round for the best party deals, so I do not have [...]
My family really did not need more cereal, because our pantry is full of cereal. Still, I could not stop myself when I discovered that one of my favorite cereals – Honey Bunches of Oats – had come out with a new cereal, that it was on sale and I had coupons. One of the [...]
This week I did not do much grocery shopping, as we are lucky to have visitors for two weeks. Instead of shopping, I have been spending a lot of time on the beach, which is the best kind of frugal fun. My pantry is completely filled up, and so is my freezer, my fridge and [...]
I did two Publix shopping trips this week, as I made a quick trip on the way home from the beach earlier this week. We still have visitors, so we are spending a lot of time on the beach ….and loving it! I was finally able to pick up some of the Italian Days coupons, [...]
First I got sick, and now mydad is visiting, so my usual shopping routine is way off. Still, I am just taking it easy and enjoying the visit. You can see the details of my shopping trips by clicking on the titles or the images. See my: My 1st Publix Trip Trip My 2nd Publix [...]
I am so excited, because today I found some great on package Target meat coupons. These Target meat coupons are pretty random, but I always make sure to look in the meat section every time I am at Target. I found $1 off stickers on the ground beef, chicken legs and on the ground pork. [...]
Last week I unsuccessfully attempted to use my $0.99 Coke Zero Coupon at CVS to get a great deal on Coke Zero at CVS. However, the coupon did not scan, and I was basically told that it was fraudulent. I called customer service, who told me that if it did not scan the coupon would [...]
I am absolutely horrified by the amount of money that I spent this week, and I am not looking forward to seeing my totals. Still being able to spend the money, when I need to spend it to get the deals helps my family’s budget in the long run. I was able to purchase all [...]
I ended up with a very expensive Publix trip today, because my Publix store actually had the Kimberley Clark coupon booklet and mail-in-rebate “Start Your Year Out With Big Savings” in stock. I had a $10 off $100 Doris coupon that I had brought with me, just in case they had the coupon booklets with [...]
Since Aldi shocked me by increasing their egg price to $1.99 for a dozen of eggs, I have been searching everywhere for a decent price on eggs. Target had them for $1.59, and Publix had a dozen of eggs for $2.19. None of these prices appealed to my frugal budget, so when I saw the [...]

I had the feeling that today would be the day that we would get the Target toy clearance would get to 70 percent off, and I was right! I got to my local Target store, just as they were beginning to mark everything to 70 percent off. I bought a lot more toys than last [...]
This afternoon I made a quick stop at CVS on my way to the park with the boys, and I sure am glad I did. I was able to get $1 All Detergent at CVS, a deal that does not come around often. The 50 oz All 2x Sunshine Energy with bleach alternative is on [...]
Target’s Christmas clerance finally went to 90 percent off this week, and I spent a little extra on a mini chopper, so I am a little over budget, but I am confident that I will do as well on my grocery savings in 2012 as I did in 2011. See how I saved $7666 on [...]
I went to Publix early this morning to pick up some cheap Flintstones vitamins at Publix and a few other deals, and I also hoped to get some cheap snacks for the kids. I ended up spending more money on meat than usual, because Aldi did not have much meat yesterday, and this is where [...]
