And both the kids got a dollar toy each. My total came to $56.52 before taxes!
With today's prices on food, I tend to buy everything I can, generic. There usually isn't much of a difference, if any, to the taste versus the name brands. In some cases, the generic tastes even better than the name brand.
There are certain items, though, that I (have tried the generic, but) will not compromise. There's no since in buying the generic if you do not like the taste. It's a waste of money if you do not use the product.
Items I only buy name-brand.
Such as:
-Orville Redenbacher Popcorn - No other popcorn taste anywhere near as good. I will not buy any other brand.
-Dr. Pepper vs. Dr. Thunder - I will never again buy Dr. Thunder. It gave me a terrible bladder infection.
-Velveeta Shells & Cheese - I bought the off brand about a week ago. It tasted like oil.
-Country Crock margarine - Nothing tastes like it
-Ore-Ida French fries - they've never been soggy like generic
-Certain condiments; A1, Hunts BBQ sauce
Then there's the products that I prefer to buy generic;
-No-stick canola spray/cooking spray
-Cereal
-Milk
-Bread
-Shredded cheese
-cookies
-certain condiments; ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise
I love to get gift cards in the mail enabling me to get free stuff. Usually all you have to do is go to the website and sign up. What are your favorite places to get gift cards from??
Some of my most recent gift cards I've got in the mail:
Almost-freebies
I had coupons for all the above items, that made them all very cheap. I got all but one item from Walmart.
We'll start with the Dove Deoderant, which was the only item in the picture I got from Target. It was .99 and I had a .75 off coupon, making it total .24
The Dixie napkins were priced $1.47 and I had a $1 off coupon, making the total .47
The Edge shaving cream was priced at $1.47 and I had a $1 off coupon, making the total .47
The Electrasol was priced at $2.47 and I had a .75 off coupon, making the total 1.72
The 2 Clean Team refills were priced at $1.64 each and I had a $3/2 coupon, making the total .14 for each (.28 together)
Total paid for the above items? (before tax) = $3.18
I got 5 free magazines in the mail this week. I got the Dove shampoo & conditioner in the mail from Walmart. The rest, 2 Clean & Clear, 2 Kotex, 2 Johnson Buddies Soap and the KY Jelly (hehe) I had coupons for and actually made money off of some of them. All together I made $2.61 off of the products.
I am getting better at couponing! So I thought I'd share my shopping trip from today. (Prices are all before TAX)
Total before coupons = $24.05 {before tax}
A Big Whopping $5.97 of that was just the Huggies Diaper Wipes!
Total after coupons = $6.80 {before tax}
After my .50 coupon off the diaper wipes, $5.47 of this was still just the Huggies Diaper Wipes!
Savings of $17.25!

The Huggies diaper and the sample-size Huggies lotion & body wash I got free in the mail from WalMart. I got all 3 magazines free in the mail for signing up for them through another website (I got the Ready Made mag through StartSampling)(for the others can't remember which sites, will update if I remember). I had a coupon for a FREE Nestle Crunch Crisp candybar. I had a coupon for a free 8.45 oz. Cascade Crystal Clear Rinse Agent. I had 2 coupons for $1 off any Johnson Buddies product, the soaps were priced at 94 cents, so I made 12 cents off of them. I had a $5 off coupon for ANY Zantac, and a $5 off Zantac Cool Mint. The Zantac pills were priced at $3.98 each so I made $2.04 off of them!

If you're looking to buy clothes for you little one (or big one), you need to go to your local Old Navy, or oldnavy.com quick! I, for one, get totally excited when there's a sale, lol!!
They are having a 40% off sale. I went to my local store last night and saved over $60!
Look at all I got for only $90.07 (and that includes tax):
I then went on their online store and bought Princess a pair of shorts & a pair of capris for only $23.30 including tax & shipping. (They have $5 shipping!!)
Where do you like to shop & who has the best sales?? I'd love to have more places to shop!!!!
