It's been a while...

This summer has been crazy and really hard to coupon with three kids.  My little one is soooo easy to take shopping when I don't have the 2 older ones to contend with.  This is the first week of school and I already have done a lot of shopping.  Here is my score today.  I spent $11.18 which seems like a lot actually but I had to get some essentials like milk and yogurt.  If you take the milk (1.99) and yogurt (6.75 all together) that leaves $2.44 for three bags of tortilla chips and three boxes of toothpaste.  The chips were $1.49 and I had (3) .55c/1 coupons and the toothpaste was $1.49 as well if you buy 3 and I had (3) .75c/1 coupons plus doublers.  So the toothpaste was .24c each and the chips were roughly .57c each.
I could have made money on the toothpaste if my Safeway doubled internet coupons b/c I have (3) $1/1 coupons that could be doubled.  I may still go to another one and see if I can do it again.  Even though I honestly have more toothpaste now than I know what to do with, I could always give it away to shelters or for our Operation Christmas Child boxes that we do every year.
Now that the kids are back in school, I am hoping to be back here more often!
