So sad! I have been so busy in my life and the deals haven't held anything I really use that I haven't really shopped in *gasp* 2 months. I did a quick trip in November and another one last week. Plus I plan on going today to get even more. So expect the posts to start coming again! I also threw in a pic of my Black Friday shopping!
Free deodorant and cheap kleenex.
Value: $112.56

Meijer is having buy 10 items for $10 and get the 11th item free. They also had shredded cheese for 3 for $5 and there is a $5 off 5 available online. Makes shredded cheese $.69 a bag instead of $2.50. As you can tell, I bought a lot! It freezes well and it doesn't mess up the cheese, so I stocked up on 20 bags of it.

Have you been to Rite Aid this week? Don't forget to check out the blogs on the right for great deals this week! I'm again waiting to take a picture because of all the deals. Sneak peek anyone? I got 40 double rolls of Cottonelle and two large boxes of kleenex for $7. Also got free listering, quaker oats, and cheap Zantac. Picture coming soon...when I'm done raiding my local Rite Aid!
SHOPPING UPDATE:
To date I have purchased $8,846.10 worth of stuff and paid $147.03 for all of it. On average, I save 98.3% off of everything I buy.
I also did a flea market last weekend and made $270! Flea markets aren't a second income by any means. But they cover the cost of the products I keep for personal use plus the cost of coupons and my gas getting to the store. Well, maybe there is a little profit in there :)
Rite Aid was amazing this week. All detergent and bounce dryer sheets were 75% off, with coupons made them super cheap! Everything else was free or a money maker (especially the johnson and johnson products!). It was crazy fun. I took the money I made from the deals to pay for the All and Bounce. I would have had $8 money maker without them.

Where have I been? I have not been couponing over a month, which is almost sad. My husband and I finally moved into our new house and between setting everything up and the house warming party, it's been crazy. So, I stopped by Rite Aid long enough to grab the stuff I know I would use...dish soap :) Free after coupon!
Value: $7
Paid: $.45
Milk was on sale and used coupons to make it free (usually no deals on milk since it's a staple, but since it's a new brand there were actually coupons). The soup was also free. I ended up buying the mac and cheese because all the other items would make me a negative penny each so I needed a filler.
Value: $28.15

So the toothpaste and toothbrushes were $2.49 on sale and for each one you purchase, you get a $2 Up reward. I also used $1 coupons to make it a money maker. I wanted to roll the $2 up reward into a new transaction, so I used the smaller items (scope and lotion) to pay $.39 per transaction after coupon and Up reward. Although these cost me a small amount for each transaction (40 in all!), I can actually resell for $1 to $2, so it was worth it to me.
Value: $188.01

This is my second time selling my extra stuff. I don't stockpile like some people, but I had 10 full boxes of stuff to sell. There is more in the boxes underneath but space was limited (I had a ton more makeup) My sale was short since it was my birthday, but I did make $184 and still have 9 full boxes. Hopefully I can unload more of it next time.
This is older so I'm not quite sure what I did to get these deals. However, I will give a heads up for this weeks deals. At Rite Aid buy the 20 count Motrin PM for $3 and get a $3 up reward for your next purchase. Use a coupon to make it a money maker.
