My posting has slowed lately due to a small hiatus that I have been submersing myself in! My husband, youngest baby and my camera were away for a week starting the day after we returned home from vacation. I cannot believe how quickly I have forgotten how "slow" my life was before them. My oldest son was in school throughout the week and at night I found myself without many things to do but relax and breathe in the peacefulness of my hiatus from pretty much everything. Now that they have returned along with my camera I can once again start posting my deals and vacation pictures! With that being said lets start with the deals first and then I will post about our vacation later!
Quick Side Notes:
I did purchase coupons on ebay for my purchases at CVS and Publix. I spent a total of $11.00 on coupons for my CVS transaction and a total of $4.23 for my Publix transaction. I do deduct money spent on coupons from my grocery budget and use what is left over to purchase groceries throughout the week.
I received a free coupon from one of my Ebay sellers this week. I purchased the 2 coupons for free multi-roll Charmin and they also sent a coupon for a free 200 sq ft. roll of Reynolds foil!! AWESOME!!!
My local publix allows you to use 1 manufacturer and 1 competitor coupon per item. I was able to use these to get the Nabisco crackers FREE this week!! 20 BOXES!!!
