My Target Trip 4/09


So, this is an example of Practical Couponing. No, I didn't score $182.85 in groceries for $0.03, but I saved almost 60% on my total.
And that's what I want to do, save a bunch of money on things I'll use, continue to build up a small stockpile, and have fun doing it, while using ethical practices. I didn't have coupons for about 50% of what I purchased, but I know I saved a ton on those items by shopping at Target, rather than at my local grocery store!
And as for meat and produce, I'll get that next Wednesday at Sprouts Farmers Market (with a $5 of of $40 coupon from RecycleBank!)

$71.94 in products               Total OOP $29.89 + tax.             59% Savings!

  2. According to Google help forums this is an issue with blogger. This is one suggestion.

    " Click on the MANAGE button at the bottom of your list of blogs. This will show all the blogs you're following. Click SETTINGS to the right of the one you want to unsubscribe from, I then got a screen asking me to sign in (again) which I did. After that there's a screen showing details of that blog, and another link on the right allowing you to unsubscribe from it. Hope this helps."
