Mission Possible 06/14-06/20

This week's Mission Possible is a little later than usual--seems that everyone is busy with summer activities, plus the bargains have been a little skimpy lately, so I decided to wait till later in the week to give us all a chance for a breather.

Our mission, should we choose to accept it, is to take the resources we have available to us--coupons, rebates, Extra Care Bucks (ECB), Register Rewards (RR) and weekly ad circulars--to get the things our families need and can use, all while keeping our total out-of-pocket (OOP) as low as possible. We fulfill our tasks at drugstores, grocery stores, dollar stores, and wherever we can find those bargains and frugal finds that benefit our families!

I've made one trip to Walgreen's this week, (sorry, no picture!), where I picked up the St. Ives body wash, which is free after Register Rewards ($2.99, generates a $3 RR) and 3 Walgreens reusable shopping bags, 3/$1 with in-ad coupon. I spent $4.23 after tax, and received my $3 RR, making a net OOP of $1.23

I did make a Walmart run this week, nothing outstanding, just a few items we needed, and I found that I didn't get as good a deal last week on the Coppertone sunscreen as I thought--I bought two at Walgreens last week, and ended up paying $4.49 after sale and coupons--the same product at Walmart was $4.97, after $3 MQ I ended up paying only $1.97. Either way, I got a bit of discount, but I was wishing I 'd saved more of those high dollar coupons when I saw that price!

So how have you done this week? Leave a link to your post, or leave us a comment, and let's see how well we all did this week!

Until next time...
