Today I paid $0.00 for $33.68 worth of items. I know it looks like I went crazy with the baby wipes but I really do put them to good use so I figured I might as well stock up on them right now.
You can’t tell from the pictures but while most of the wipes were a 64 count, two of them were a 72 count and one of them was an 80 count that I pulled out from waaaaaaaaaaaay in the back of the shelf. Score!
My dentist has said that my teeth are strong and I firmly believe in the ACT mouthwash so whenever I get a coupon I buy it because it is a bit expensive.
I saved $1.50 by using manufacturer’s coupons and that is being transferred to the Coupon Savings account in ING later today.

Morem’s last blog post..What is a Covered Call
Actually I am not the master…there are people who save a lot more than I do…but I am working on getting better.
Baby wipes are not just for the intended use. They also can be used to clean rubber stamps when you are done with crafting projects. : )
I use them to blow my nose since my nose is very sensitive to toilet paper. After repeated blowing I do not have the skin peeling off my nose!!!!
I just mailed an ECB, coupons and my card to my mother in the ‘burbs to pick up 2 bottles of Gilette shampoo/conditioner ($2 coupons + 3 ECBs earned = free!) and Wisk detergent (2/$9 – two $1.50 coupons = $6 with 2 ECBs earned). It’ll cost me $2 out of pocket and I end up with 2 ECBs less than when I started…totally worth it for laundry soap (massage therapy uses a lot of linens!). Here’s hoping it arrives in the mail before she heads off to a funeral in Colorado tomorrow afternoon.

Good for you on that deal. I don’t have anyone to help me get stuff 🙂
My son’s website will help you save a lot of money. It lists deals, coupons and free stuff. You can find what you are looking for and pay 50% off sometimes more. He finds these great deals on the internet and posts them in one place.
