Savings from coupons and store sales: $6.00

  • After last week’s $10 Challenge, I needed a break from shopping for a week!  So I only hit CVS for the Post Trail Mix moneymaker. (Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my ECBs with me, so I had to pay out of pocket.  Oh well.)  It was nice to take a break from shopping for the week, I have to admit!

    Savings from ‘Free Money’: $2.69

    • Wes and I made around $.69 this week from YouData–are you all checking your accounts?
    • Made $2 in my Upromise account from the Post Trail Mix deal above–my Mother in Law is signed up in our Upromise account did the deal too!

    Savings from cutting costs: $6

    • We’ve been enjoying lettuce from our little garden this week!  It really is yummy…and so fun to step outside our door to ‘shop’ for dinner.  Can’t wait for the tomatoes!

    TOTAL SAVINGS:$14.69

    TOTAL SAVINGS THIS YEAR: $2192.05

    I’m pretty sure there is nothing more frustrating in the whole entire world than when a coupon WON’T PRINT!!  I’m sure you know what I mean.

    That’s why I was delighted to discover this post from Macomb Money Savers about printable coupon troubleshooting.  Did you know that you can typically change only 1 or 2 letters in a coupon’s URL to make it work in a different browser?

    If you are like me andwant to be sure you don’t lose any more hair when trying to print coupons, go here to get some help!
