Our Experiment Update #1

Well, we started out the weekend needing a red pepper for fajita's, and famous Amos cookies for homemade ice cream.

Starting Balance = $45

Trip to Winco = $2.86
Balance = $42.14

Today I had to send Tyler to Safeway for 2 cans of Cream of Chicken. (can't believe I'm out!!!)

Safeway = $2.18
Balance = $39.96

And of course, I can't give up couponing, so I made my weekly trip to Walgreens.

Transaction 1: x4 Men's Sure deoderant, x2 Men's Pert Plus, x3 toothbrushes

Total = $1.23
Balance = $38.73

Transaction 2: x2 Men's Pert Plus, x3 Reach floss, x2 Neosporin Lip, 1 gallon of milk, x3 baby food

Total = $1.77
Balance = $36.96

Holy Cow! You got all that stuff for $1.23 and then for $1.77. That's awesome. I need to get into this couponing thing...

I knew about the Men's Pert Plus, but not the Neosporin Lip and milk! Were you using register rewards?

The Neosporin Lip was a monthly RR deal, I made a couple bucks on it which almost paid for my milk. And yes, I always have RR's at Walgreens! :)
