So I just got home from grabbing my two Carvel cakes…I just had to go get them!! I was under budget this week and since they were such a great deal I thought it woudl be a nice treat for everyone!!
I think I did great this week!! I had a little help thanks to a bunch of free product coupons. When three coupons scanned they took off the full coupon price of $7.99 and since the chicken was only $3 I got some massive overage!! I didn’t even realize it until I got home and started looking at my reciept!! Honestly had I known that I was going to get that much overage I probably would have grabbed a couple more bags of chicken!! I was also lucky to get a $15 CVS extra care buck for answering a survey so I was able to use it to score a big box of diapers and three 12 packs of Coke for next to nothing!!
This week I spent $35.76 for $188.52 worth of groceries!! That means I saved 81% this week using coupons!!

How did you do this week? Leave a comment or link to your weekly totals!
I stumbled upon your website about six weeks ago and this week saved almost 80% off of my total. I purchased $109.90 worth of groceries for $23.22. I can’t believe I didn’t do this sooner. Thank you, Rachel.
I spent $10.65 for $128.79 worth, saved $118.14 = 92%
Looks like a great week for you! Nice on the overage. I have gotten two CVS surveys for $5 each so far. I’d love one of those $15 ones! Thanks for the linky list–fun to see.
You did fantastic as always Michelle! Seriously, you are the Publix Queen, and I sure hope Publix appreciate all the business you bring their way.
My local Publix finally started accepting Target coupons, which makes me very excited, and hopefully it will help me save even more in the future. I am still trying to get back into the swing of things after a fun vacation.
How do you get all the “free product q’s”. Is that from your maintaining this wonderful website that allows you particular “kickbacks” or am I missing a whole other realm of couponing?
