Couponing with Mom

So on a very RARE trip, my Mom and I got to go couponing alone last night! It was fun, we're exhausted and Mom will have smooth legs, clean teeth and smell good for at least the next 6 months! We went to CVS, Walgreens, Winn Dixie and Target. Add in the hour it takes round trip and we didn't get home until 10 pm. Wow, the money we saved! 


Let me start with the post run Publix trip with the WHOLE family (sweaty hubby included):

There are several items not shown in picture because we had a get together that night and cooked out. Also, I'm not sure if some of these Target coupons are still available because I've had them for awhile and they aren't showing up for me but may still show for those who haven't printed them yet.

Long trip, busy weekend, but well worth it! Without coupons I would have spent $397.31 which use to be my entire month's budget. Because of coupons I only spent $143.97. Overall I saved 64%!  The only things I didn't get this week diapers but that's ok because I still have a pile from the Walgreens brand BOGO a few weeks ago when I paid $1.50 a package.


The only things I'll need to pick up over the next few weeks will be milk and meat. I can live with that!
