Love Dollar Days!!

With a grocery budget of $20 a week I have been keeping my eyes open for great non-grocery item sales and have found a couple for this coming week! I am giving myself a generous $15 for non-grocery items for the week and I think I will be able to get some great deals!! Here are a couple I have found:

Target:

• *Great deal on ink buy one get one 50% off - BUT I don't need ink right now so I personally won't be doing this deal but I thought I would share*

• All Rubbermaid Easy Find Lids are on sale! This is a great deal for me! I love these storage containers because they really do stack great in my cupboard and I don't get attacked by lids when I open the door! I have 3 Coupons for $1 off so I am going to be able to get three new containers for about $5. Since I have been cooking so much now from scratch it will be great to have some more containers to keep my leftovers in!

• Dunkin' Donuts coffee is on sale this week for $6 and I have a great $1 off coupon! This is my FAVORITE spurge coffee and 12oz for $5 seems o.k. for a luxury item!

• There are also great deals on Honey-Nut Cheerios and Pampers Cruisers BUT I was able to fit 6 boxes of Cheerios into my budget last week so I am good for cereal. The diapers sale looks really great but, thanks to a great X-mas present and my coupons at Walgreen's, we are set for diapers this week!

• Also, I noted that Target will give you $.05 off your purchases for every Target reusable bag you bring in. Luckily, I have one and will be using it during my purchasing this week!

Target total: Coffee for $5 will come out of my grocery budget therefore my budget of $15 for non groceries is reduced only by $5 for my rubbermaids!

With $10 left I am heading off to Kmart dollar days! My goal is Softsoap for $1 and I have 3 coupons for $.35 so I can get 3 softsoaps for $1.95! Wow! I am glad I didn't succumb to my Bath and Body Works craving two weeks ago!

With these great purchases, I still have $8.05 left in my non grocery item budget! The Walgreen's add comes out tomorrow and with any luck, there may be another great diaper sale that I can combine with my coupons and actually be able to stock up!

**My goal for this weekend is to:

1. Cash out my consignment store money (around $20);

2. Take back my mother-in-law's cans and bottles (that she has generously donated to the cause) AND

3. Cash in a jar of change (also donated to the cause)

~Once I have done my errands I will be hoping to have a nice tidy sum to subtract from credit card E on Monday~

Well, that is the plan! We shall see how it comes out! I will happily post my success next time!
