weekly wallet wins {week 9/52}

Thanks for joining us on our Mission to Financial Freedom!  It wasn't a landslide week, but I found a few deals at the end of February!

saving money on weekly wallet wins

For the Little Ones

Valentine's Clearance 90% off at Walgreens
     10 Activity pads @ $.19 or $.02 each
     1 pink rubber ducky @ $.19
= $.19 + $.19 = $.38

These made great filler items for some the other deals/transactions I had at Walgreens this past week!


For Our Tummies

Butterball Turkey Bacon on Sale at Walgreens
     2 packages @ $1.29 each
     used 2 $.75 off coupons
= $2.58 - $1.50 = $1.08 or $.54 per package

Hiland Whole Milk on Sale at Walgreens
     1 gallon @ $2.99
     submitted for $.40 Ibotta rebate
= $2.99 - $.40 = $2.59

Banana Chips @ $.99

Used 2 $2 Register Rewards (from transactions below), so my total for the bacon, milk, and banana chips was only $.66 out of pocket

FREE - Leftovers all week long!  Last Sunday, Alexander the Great made a gigantic batch of chicken fried rice for our HOME Group.  Either our group didn't eat much or we made way too much...or both, but we had tons of leftovers.  So, instead of using up all of the groceries I had bought for meals last week, we ate chicken fried rice.  Over and over and over again.  And I even froze a full 9x13 sized pan of it for sometime in a few weeks!


For the Bathroom

It may not be exciting, but it is necessary.

Kotex Feminine Products Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off at Walgreens
     1 box @ $5.79
     2nd @ $2.89
     used 2 $1 off coupons
     used $4 Register Reward from last week
     submitted for $1 Ibotta rebate
= $8.68 - $1 - $1 - $4 - $1 = $1.68
Received $2 Register Reward
Earned 1,000 Reward Points (like $1)
$1.32 Moneymaker!

Speed Stick Gear on Sale at Walgreens
     1 deodorant @ $2.99
     used 1 $2 off coupon

Received $2 Register Reward
$1.01 Moneymaker!


Extra Income

Extra Teaching = $500
     I got my first bonus paycheck for subbing for a professor that has taken an unexpected leave of absence.  It added about $500 to my February paycheck!  Yay!
