Operation F.F.F is in process, and I did really good yesterday!! I stayed under my 1200 calories, I did my workout routine and I *almost* made my daily water intake. That's a lot of water! Now to day two ... I can do this, I have to do this!
Not so much luck trying to find what I needed at the thrift stores though. Most of what I saw wasn't worth the 25 cents they were asking for it. Oh well, may just need to go to some out of this area for some good deals.
Gotta brag on my coupon trip yesterday though ...
CVS: I had $9 in ECB's already from a earlier shopping trip (I stocked up on Excedrine right before the recall, just my luck!) Anyway - I had coupons for .50/1 Dawn dish detergent and $1/3 American Greetings cards. I got 4 Dawn dish detergents and three gift cards totaling $6.93, take off the coupons and the total came to $3.93. I used one of my $3 ECB coupons and pd .93 out of pocket ... AND got back another $3 in ECB's from the greeting cards!! Woohoo ... so basically on that order I got pd $2.07! So then I was back to my original $9 in ECB's ... They had a 12 pack of toilet paper on sale for $7.50, and since the kids actually behaved while we were in there I let them pick out two Cadbury eggs @ .99 each. My total came to $9.50 - minues my $9 in ECB's and I paid .50 out of pocket!
4 bottles Dawn Dish Liquid
3 Gift Cards
1 Pack of Toilet Paper
2 Cadbury Eggs
Grand total paid out of pocket was $1.42!! Wowza :)
Then at Bi-Lo I got 3 All detergents, two soft soaps and six suave body washes for $15.34 ... saved $21.95 between my coupons and the Bonuscard savings, making each item approx. $1.39. Not bad for laundry detergent, body wash and handsoap of good quality. And even better, I saved more money than I spent.
