School shopping for Tyler clothes..

This year, Tyler felt he wanted to have specific jeans. O'Course, I gave in to him since this is his high school years. I thought I would be paying around $50 for all to get the free shipping. What do you know, after looking for about an hour, we couldn't find the jeans he had before. However, he did find another pair that he likes, so I placed the order and ended up spending $39.98 and that even had free shipping.. Hot Dog!!! Now, we get to wait for it to show up and find out if they will actually fit him. This is why I hate to order clothes off the internet because sometime clothes does not fit right. Now, we play the waiting game of 6 to 8 days to ship to find out if they actually fit or if I have to send them back. Picking was slim and we got what we can. Now, I just need to worry about some shirts for him and a few more school items. However, I get to finish school shopping after school has started September 6th. Can the days count down faster.

Shopping trips at Dollar General, Family Dollar, and Dollar Tree Deals

I had a notion today to go school shopping.  haha.. That did not happen. However, I didn't do to bad when I did go shopping. My first stop was Family Dollar. Family Dollar only has the Faygo that my son likes for $1, so I picked up 4 and I ended up clearing the shelve with those 4, and before I cleared the shelf, I asked to find out if they had more. He told me, no they do not have anymore until Thursday night. Okay, thanks and he told me to go ahead and take the last 4. I would have spent $31.93 and I saved $10.25 leaving me to pay out of the pocket of $21.68. Also, I found the Keri Lotion that everyone has been talking about for $3.00 and I used my $2.00 coupon and end up paying $1.00 each.
Dollar General was my next store. I walked in and picked up all my items and made it to the register. I had 3 coupons for B1/1F, well the first coupon went through not a problem. The other 2 were a issue. They wouldn't scan or take off $3.50 for the free items. The CS even called another CS to fix the problem and manage to not get a hold of the other CS. They had to do it differently then it was suppose to happen. However, I did get those free. I ended up doing a total of 3 transaction. The first transaction I spent $34.68 with a saving of $6.65 leaving me to pay $28.03. This was a bad choice that I made. However, my second transaction were the four Dove products that would not work in the previous transaction. For a total of $21.35, I saved $7.00 and paid $7.35 out of pocket. Then I realize that I forgot to pick up something else while I was there for my father. Well, I went back and picked up those 3 items. For a total of $10.25 of product and saving of $3.00 leaving me to pay $7.24 out of my pockets. That wasn't too bad this time.
Then I went to Dollar Tree Deals, I only purchased 9 items and had coupons. However, when I went to the register, I couldn't use internet printed coupons and I told the girl to take the 4 items off since I couldn't use those coupons. I ended up spending only $5.75 for all that I purchase. I had a saving of $1.50 leaving me to pay $4.25. However, I came home to look for the coupon policy for Dollar Tree and couldn't find it. I will have to do some more serious looking.

Complete total of items purchase $72.03 with saving of $28.40 and paying out of pocket of $43.63. Now I think I have cut into my budget for this week. And I still have to purchase those jeans for my son to use for school and I already know that will be $50.00 already but I will have free shipping by the time I am finish with that.

Farm Fresh Visit on August 17th

On August 17th was a very busy day. I babysitting for my sister while she was in court. I had plan to gather up my coupons while I was with the natives. However, that did not happen. However, when my sister got back from court, we both figured out our shopping list and coupons, so we could go shopping. My last post about Farm Fresh and receiving 6 $5 coupons and 1 $2 coupon from them the week before. I only had plan to use a few of them so I could use the others for this coming week purchase. I didn't take a picture of this purchase and wish I did. However, I walked in the store only planning to pay a little under $5 for all  my purchase. I manage to only pay $1.12 for $65.70 of food. That was a 100% saving. I did so awesome that day and my sister was waiting for me and was amaze that I only spent that much money for it all. I just wish I had more of those $5 coupons that I got from all that general mills items the week before. I also was short a couple of items and my sister gave me 4 things to put with my order and coupons. However, I thought I gave the lady all my coupons and when we both got home, I realize that I had one coupon that I didn't give the lady. If I would have gave the lady the coupon, I would have had to find a filler to end up paying ZERO for all my food. Since the coupon would have double from $1 to $2. So, I did great that week. Thanks sis for talking me into using those other coupons that I was planning to use this week. I had a great and awesome day then.
