I've been working in the kitchen, cleaning and putting things away. I boiled two dozen eggs today for egg salad and lunches for this week. I am so tired of sandwiches in my lunch, so boiled eggs will be better. I'll add some cheese too.
Dinner today is Pedernales Potatoes, Carrots, Green Beans with Onions, and Sweet Iced Tea.
On Tuesday we ran some errands. One place we stopped was Bi-Lo because I had some coupons I wanted to use with their three day sale.
My favorite coupon site nowadays is Couponaholic.
Couponaholic
I don't even use the Sunday coupons anymore. I let my daughter deal with them because she enjoys it so much. I look at Couponaholic every now and then to see if there are any good deals. The 55¢ off coupon for Skippy peanut butter was a good deal. I printed two coupons off my computer and my daughter printed four coupons and she also had an additional six $1.00 off coupons from the Sunday paper for one jar of Skippy.
The peanut butter was on "sale" at Bi-Lo for $3.12, but it was buy one get one free, which made each jar $1.56. The 55¢ coupons doubled and so our total coupons took off $12.60, which made each jar only 51¢. This was a really good deal.
The also had Pillsbury cake mixes on sale for buy one get one free. We had 35¢ off coupons that doubled, so each box end up costing 44¢ each, which was another good deal.
We did buy a few other things like margarine, crackers, preserves, and olives.
We also got hair cuts today. I saved a receipt from Walmart for $9.99 haircuts and used them at Great Clips today. Haircuts for both of us came to $19.98 plus tip, which saved us $6.00 off the Great Clips price.
I also filled up the car today using my Bi-Lo bonuscard fuel perks and paid $2.44 per gallon. It only cost me $21 to fill up today. I should be dancing in the street at the savings. LOL :)
Back to work and school tomorrow. I hope you all have a great week!

Heck I about danced in the street paying $2.99 gal. for gas today! lolz
ReplyDeleteI'll dance with you...anything under $3.00 is a reason to celebrate! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteY'all are getting good with this couponing thing!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...anywhere under $3 is cause for a happy dance. We saw $2.86 a gallon the other day and filled up coming and going even though we had only used a little...lol
Good idea, Shara. I would have done that too. :)
DeleteThe sad part is that oil companies have us thinking $2.44 a gallon is a "good" deal :)
ReplyDeleteMy Dad would say the exact same thing. :)
DeleteYour peanut butter savings paid for more than half of your bargain hair cuts to sweeten both deals all the more, and we appreciate those sweet deals.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought of that. Love saving money! :)
