Did a run to Walmart today.  Our Women's Ministry group is going to do a shower for one of the locations (unknown to us) for one of the safe houses for the young ladies who have been sold into sexual slavery.  At any rate, we are couponing and trying to come up with things like pads, tampons....anything that would help these young women.  I hit a bonanza at Walmart today!  Poise fresh up towlettes were $2.97 per package, we had MFG Q from Smartsource on Sunday, 1/13 for $3 off one, I got 4 of those and made .12.  They had Kotex panty liners on sale for .94 per package, we had MFG Q from SS 1/13 for 1.50/2, got those for .19 per package, 8 of those....Yeah, all for the shower.  Found other good deals at Walmart today.  Addicted to saving site had a coupon you could print for $2.00 off a 3 lb bag of grapefruit, I got a 5 pound bag of pink for $1.78.  Ruffies Trash bags were 1.62, had a MFG Q for $1.50/2, making those .87 per package.  I printed that Q on coupons.com.  Old Spice Deod was $2.00, I had Q for $1 off 2, making those 1.50 each.  I just ate an entire can of Margaret Holmes canned tomatoes, corn & okra.....man was that good!  We have Margaret Holmes canned goods Q from a long time ago, don't remember exactly when we got them but they are good until May!  They had a great variety of Margaret Holmes canned goods in Walmart, and each can was .98, our Q were for ..35 off each one, making those only .63 per can.  Bought milk and ground turkey, stuff for Chile, paper towels...can't seem to catch a break on paper products.   All in all I think I did really well.  Total before coupons was $117.09, after Q's, it was $85.84.  .27 percent savings, I've done better but not lately, but it's still dollars in my pocket that they did not get!  That's a win to me.  How to figure your percent of savings?  Divide your total amount saved by the total value (before your coupons) and that gives you your percentage of savings.  Okay, have a good day and rest of week, I think that will do it for me for this week.  IF you have ladies items that you would like to donate somewhere, we have a place for them.  Let me know and I will arrange to get them.  God Bless and save some $$$.

I am so sorry I haven't posted for some time, hopefully I can get back to it.  I shopped today at Wags & CVS.  If you have not already done so, sign up for your Wags balance rewards card, after using it, I like it much better than the Register Rewards program.  You can spend your bonus points on whatever you like, no restrictions.  (Except tobacco & prescriptions I think)  Good deal.  1,000 bonus points is actually $1 in the grand scheme of things.  They want you to have accrued at least 5,000 to use a $5 off bonus, and 10,000 to use a $10 off bonus.

Total at Wags I did 2 deals.  First one was Cottonelle bath tissue was $5 for a 12 pack and if you bought 2, you got a 1,000 point bonus AND I had mfg.coups for .50 off each one.  All said and done, I paid .33 per roll for the TP.  They had Lindsey Olive coupons in the Wags flyer for .99 per can.  Then in preparation for cold & flu season, I bought a box of Mucinex for $19.99 (normally $22.99) had a coupon for $2 off 1, which I printed from the FB  Mucinex site and I received 3,000 points for buying the item.  I spent $28.97 for $35.99 in goods and went forward with 4,000 bonus points (or $4.00).

2nd deal, they had Poise & Depend pads 10.99 per package, bought 1 of each for $21.98, used a $4/1 coupon that printed when I did my first wags deal and I had a mfg. for $1 off the other from SS 1/13, then I used $5 or 5,000 of my bonus rewards points (I already had some accrued plus the 4,000 I earned in the first deal, bringing my total to $13.52 saving me $8.56.  Not bad.

CVS was next and I mainly went for the Dawn Dish Soaps, we had coupons from Jan. Proctor & Gamble flyer for .50 off the Dawn hand care and .25 off the regular dawn.  My supplies were low, so I bought 5 of each at .99 each, after coupons they  were .61 each.  These are the small 9 ounce bottles, but they run this sale all the time with Dawn or Palmolive and it works out really well for me.

Okay, that's what I did today.  Let me know if you all find some savvy deals.

God Bless......Rhonda Goff
