I
started out the week with a little more double couponing last Monday at
Walmart.
·
1 bonus jar of Best Foods mayo (included a
package of Knorr soup to make spinach dip with) $3.98, less $2 in coupons =
final price $1.98
·
1
package mild Italian sausages $3.78, less $1 in coupons = final price $2.78
·
2 large
cans premium chicken breast $2.28 each, less $2 in coupons = final price $1.28
each
Once
again I paid for my coupon items with my Walmart gift card, so no out of pocket
expense. I will, however, still track
them on December’s spending roster.
Monday
night I filled up my car at the Fred Meyer gas station, used my rewards card to
save an additional 3¢ per gallon. Final
price was $3.54 a gallon. First time I
put gas in the car since 10/13/12!
I did
some work for my elderly next door neighbor, collected her mail and hauled her
trash to the curb all month plus I raked her leaves. She paid me $35. I always tell her I’ll do it for free but she
insists on paying me.
I
knitted four more hats for the Holiday bazaar and recruited two more people to
set up a booth. It should be interesting
to see how it all works out. I am
starting to get really excited about it.
I
finished two birthday gifts for my girls this week and am thrilled with how
well they turned out. The fabric I used
was given to me by a friend and the pattern I used was one I bought last summer
on sale at JoAnn’s for $1.99. I already
had the thread and buttons on hand that I used too so no out of pocket expenses
for these gifts. I’ll post more about
these gifts next week after their birthdays are over.
The
brackets for the eyeglasses arrived and I was able to complete my new display
area, which I quickly filled with pretty ladies frames. I am so pleased with how it turned out and I
think it looks every bit as good as the ones they sell at the frame display
company. I am excited to get the next
one done and put up next month.
The
girls and I went to Big Lots and picked out a new seven foot unlit artificial
Christmas tree. I did want a pre-lit one
as they tend to stop lighting up after a short while and then you are stuck
with a tree full of dead lights. We
happen to like untangling and re-tangling strings of lights and wrapping them
around a tree. J
While
at Big Lots we also picked up a few items to decorate our shop with. I have a small budget set aside for this and
we found quite a few things to get there including items to put together a
wreath to hang up on the outside of the shop.
We spent $20 of our budget there and then on Thursday I spent another
$20 at the dollar store. We are now
ready for Christmas at the shop.
I made
one meat free meal for us last week and we ate up all our leftovers so no food
waste at all. We did not eat out last
week either.
Just wondering how you do double couponing at Walmart? I didn't know that there were any Walmarts that did that. That is great though!
ReplyDeleteI use my Albertson's coupon doublers at Walmart. It is part of their competitor price match guarantee. See if yours will do it.
