A Dull Shopping Week this week 5/31

All of my cubbards are full and I don't need anything, so I don't plan on going major grocery shopping this week. I will get some pop and chips for my sons 16th birthday party. I will also go to CVS for the milk and Suntan lotion deal. Other than that...........pretty dull.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!



Well I did pretty good at CVS today. I missed using a $2 CVS coupon and I missed the huge money maker that Moneysavingmom.com and savingourcents.blogspot.com post for the Neutragenia Sun care products. But I did OK.
I don't normally do more than 2 transactions. So I do have oop (out of pocket) expense, but its still a lot better than I ever did before I used coupons and sales. So if you did several transactions and used the deal from above, you could spend no oop I'm sure!! :-) Have fun!! I hope you get all the Monday deals!!

Not bad!! Like I said before, go find the real Neutragenia deal!! Also remember, you can always do several transactions and walk out paying little or no OOP!!! That is a wonderful thing, I just don't have the "want to" I guess.
