My Publix take for the week
Just like the past couple of weeks, this week did not allow for any AMAZING deals. I managed to do ok though saving 41% at Publix.
Retail: $138.71
Actual: $81.82
Deals of note:
1. With the help of a BOGO sale + mfr coupons I got four Skippy Peanut Butter Jars for $0.22 each
2. Four 3oz Weber Seasonings at $0.50 each after 2/$3 store sale + four $1 mfr coupons
My CVS take for the week
Good deal on Pampers diapers over at CVS this week. Pampers "Baby Dry" 31ct are on sale for $8.99 with $3.00 back for ECB's. Combine that with a $2.00 manufacturer coupon from 7/31/11 RP coupon circular and you get the the diapers for the equivalent of $3.99 each (60% savings). Pampers Sensitive Wipes 64ct are on sale for $2.49 each and Nestle Pure Life 24pk water is also on sale for $3.39 each. Nestle Water coupon $1/2 is in the 7/31/11 RP2 circular.
I just got back from CVS with the following:
1st purchase - Five Packs of Diapers and two cases of wipes
(One $3 CVS Birthday Reward, Five $2 mfr coupons and two $0.50 mfr coupons)
Retail: $66.53
Actual: $35.93
2nd purchase - Four Nestle Pure Life 24pk water cases and two 96ct CVS brand Antacid Tablets
(Two $1/2 mfr coupons and $15.50 in ECB's from the Diaper purchase above)
Retail: $26.54
Actual: $3.84
All totaled.......Retail: $93.07, Actual: $39.77.
I saved $53.30 which comes out to 57.3% savings!
NOTE: In order to take advantage of the Extra Care Bucks (ECB's) that I earned I had to break my transaction up into two seperate ones. That comes in handy when shopping at CVS.

TLC's show EXTREME COUPONING good or bad?
I personally had heard about the immense savings one could garner from couponing long before TLC's new show but I must admit the real motivational trigger that got me off of my butt and learning how to actually do it was the show itself. So do I condone the show? No. You would think I do but nope. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the informative side of the show but there is definitely a negative side to having this knowledge spread so widely around the country. The obvious reason is that it is now no longer a little known secret. What was once for a select few is now so popular that coupons are becoming more and more scarce, stores are adopting new and more restrictive coupon policies, and of course there are those who take advantage of things and ruin it for the rest of us......
New additions to the Blog
If you have not been here in a while or usually just skip straight to the Freebies page then I wanted you to know that I just added a section on the sidebar giving you a preview of daily FREEBIES from Craigslist Space Coast Region. I also added some feeds for news results containing Extreme Couponing and Publix.
Enjoy!
Space Coast Couponing Group Forum
We are indeed getting a steady stream of visitors here every day however we only had one vote on the Poll asking how many of you would like to see an actual forum where we can all get together and share ideas, trade coupons, etc...
I am planning on conducting the Poll again sometime in the near future. Thank you to the one person who voted! :)
$15 worth of coupons in Aquafina 24pk
Here at my house, we have yet to drop the water bottles in favor of a water filter. Just to reiterate, I started my Frugal Savings Journey only back in May. Old habits die hard and I am making progress. I hope to soon cut out cable tv, eating out, and our bottled water. It is just so darn convenient though!
So we ran out of water the other day and I went to the store just for water. I normally wait for Walgreens sales on their water which is usually around $2.39/24pk but I can't wait for the next sale so my options were $3.99/24pk Aquafina or $3/Nestle 24pk with coupon. I opted for the Aquafina and I will tell you why. The Aquafina case had $15 worth of misc. manufacturer coupons inside. I figured that as long as I use $1 worth of those coupons I made up for my choosing Aquafina over Nestle. Ideally I would always go for Dasani if it were cheaper due to it's enhanced taste! Alas, Dasani is never cheaper.
These are the things you need to keep an eye on. Most people would not even notice the "$15 In Coupons Inside" label and just get the $1 cheaper case. Reward for catching this was the following 12 coupons:
1. $1 off any 1 Starbucks Frappuccino Coffee Drink or Doubleshot 4-pk
2. $1 off 1 20-22 cnt Frito-Lay Multi-pak
3. $1 off any two 12 oz. can 12-pks or two 2-liter bottles of Lipton Brisk products
4. $1 off on any two 16.9 oz 12-pks, 1-gallon jugs or 1.5 liter bottles of Lipton Iced Tea products
5. $1 off any two 64oz Gatorade or G2 products
6. Buy any four Snack Pack Pudding 4-pks, get one FREE
7. $1 off any two 20 oz. Sobe Lifewater products
8. $1 off any two packages of Energizer MAX brand batteries
9. Buy any eight Chef Boyardee products, get two FREE
10. $2 off when you buy one 16 oz. 4-pk Rockstar Energy Drink product
11. $1.50 off any three Orville Redenbacher's products
12. $1 off when you buy any two 10-16 oz. bags of Rold Gold Brand Pretzels

Modern Bartering
Before currency everyday goods were bartered. Items that were not needed or wanted were traded for items that someone else had that you needed or wanted. Unfortunately the old method was not exact when it came to the actual value of the items.
www.listia.com is today's version of bartering.
List your stuff, earn credits, buy other stuff with credits. I have not used it yet myself but I thought it fit the whole saving/couponing theme.
