September definitely made up for my less than stellar Summer savings… My September coupon savings totalled $22.57, which brings my year to date totals up to $171.04! I also looked back on my totals, and noticed that all of my coupons were used at Walgreens. Our local Walgreens is very coupon friendly, and the savings show for it.
We’ll see how October goes.
With disappointing July savings ($2.75) past me, I’ve managed to save a bit more in the month August. I shopped smarter and took along my coupons too, and saved $8.70. That brings my year to date total up to $148.47, and I hope to have even more savings this month.
How about you… with the recent grocery price hikes are you saving with coupons, or finding alternative ways to save those precious grocery dollars?
I’m still keeping track of my monthly coupon savings, but the month of July brought a tiny bit of savings. I saved $2.75 in the month of July, it brings my year to date savings up to $139.77! I hope to do a little better in August, and see some great savings.
What about you… Are you using coupons to save on your groceries?
About six months ago I switched fabric softener brands to save on my laundry costs. I used to buy Downy Free and Sensitive , but when it hit $7.00, I knew I had to find another brand. I still needed a “Free and Clear” formula, and luckily I came across Purex Soft Sensitive for $2.98!
The price was right, but the scent was a little strong for me. I made it work, by saving a used bottle and splitting the fabric softener evenly between the two bottles. I then fill them up with water, and I have enough fabric softener to last me a few months.
When it was time to restock the Fabric Softener, I had a coupon for $1.00 off. After the coupon savings and stretching the fabric softener, it only cost $1.00 a bottle to cover all of my laundry needs. That is much better than spending $7.00 a bottle for Fabric Softener.
Do you have any tips or suggestions to help stretch your laundry supplies?
With our grocery dollars working harder than ever, I’m still trying to shop and save with my coupons. My June savings were pretty small, but every little bit helps. I saved $5.60 during the month of June, and that brings my year to date total up to $137.02. I hope to save a little more in July, but with the prices on the rise, we’ll see how it goes.
