July Totals

There haven't been as many deals this month it seems. I've been doing some low-key shopping - focusing on the "freebies" and rock bottom prices items. Because of my stockpile I haven't had to purchase too many "need it now" items. I've also been trying to spend my catalinas for the need it now items, where I usually buy it on extra stuff that we don't necessarily need. And I've been using up my gift cards as well. I've gotten gift cards from transferring prescriptions and using offers that stores provide to get your Rx business.

CVS $0.76
Meijer $13.04
Target $7.38
Kroger $14.81
Walgreens $11.89
Schnucks $10.25
Jewel $13.18

That's a monthly total of $71.31!! I have some catalinas left over to use in August too!

I've received rebates and mailed in rebates, which I detailed in their own posts.

July rebates received

$7 Suaza tequila
(4) $4 Edy's ice cream
$3 Cortaid
$4.50 Pilot Pens
(2) $2 Constellation wines
$2 Sutter Home

Total of $36.50 received!

June Totals - better late than never!

Even though I felt like I did a LOT of shopping in June - I was surprised to see my totals were pretty low!!

I used some strategic planning and used my catalinas from previous orders to pay for my next ones. I think I did surprisingly well - even if I must say so myself... and I do say so. LOL

I also received some gift cards to CVS for transferring prescriptions, so that saved my CVS bill! My children were on vacation with Grandma for two weeks and my youngest is doing VERY well with potty training - so my diaper costs have gone WAY WAY down. He's now using 1 diaper overnight and maybe a Pull-Up during the day.

Kroger $13.49
Schnucks $12.48
CVS $4.62
Walgreens $17.17
Meijer $24.36
Target $10.90
Jewel $16.83

That's a grand total of $99.85!! WOO HOO!!!!

I also received $23.13 in rebates and sent in $38.82 worth. I already posted regarding the details on these.

Here's to another "slow" month in terms of budget!
