Here I sit on a Sat. morning trying to get my coupons together and I was looking thru the Target sale ad and came across a box of 30 Quaker Chewy bars for $4.99. That sounded like a great price and I was going to Target anyway today and I have a $.55 off coupon, so when I broke it down to unit pricing, here's what I discovered....
Target:
30 count $4.99
minus $.55 coupon
= $4.44
now divide that by 30 for price per bar and that's 15cents per bar. pretty good, huh? well when I broke it down using Kroger's ad, here's what I figured out...
Kroger:
10 count $1.49
minus the same $.55 off coupon
= $.94 divided by 10 and that comes out to 9cents per bar!!!
multiply that times 3 to equal the 30 count box at Target and the SAME 30 bars are $2.82 at Kroger!!! That will save me $1.62!
so lesson learned...ALWAYS break deals down to unit pricing! You may be surprised!
Jan. Savings
Ok, I haven't kept up with my receipts very well this month....it's just been a weird month!
I dug out all I could find and went thru both of my spending accounts and for Jan. 2010, on groceries/toiletries I spent $212.22 and saved $433.33!!!
Not bad for not really being obsessive with the coupons, huh? LOL!

Have you ever...
Sunday, January 24, 2010
Have you ever had one of those months that has just flown by and you feel like you haven't gotten anything done??? That's me this month!
With my daughter's 9th birthday this month and family coming in for that, I haven't couponed or kept track of all my purchases the way I usually do! I just noticed that I haven't even added up my savings for this month yet and it's almost over!
I guess I need to dig out those receipts and really get it together!
