Wednesday Day #16
1.I've had a great day at WAGS! I spent $0.77 OOP for $46.83 worth of goodies. I also used an extra $3 in RR's.
Thanks to Hounding with Frugalsuz, I was able to devise a plan of action. I went in WAGS with an extra $5RR and $3 RR to use during my deals.....
1. Buy
Bayer Monitor $14.99 -used free Q $14.99
0 OOP
GET $5 RR
2. Buy
Nivea Bodywash $4.99 use $1 man. Q
tuna on sale for $.79 with in ad Q
gift wrap on sale for $ .39 with in ad q
Use $5 RR from Bayer Monitor
PAY $ .17 OOP
Get $5 RR for Bodywash
3. Buy
Ecotrin 45 ct $2
Rembrandt toothpaste or mouthwash $5.99
gift wrap on sale for $ .39 with in ad Q
pay with 2 RR's --$5 and $3
Pay $ .23 OOP
Get back $6 RR and $2 RR
4. Buy
3- 12 packs of diet pepsi $11
1 gift wrap on sale for $ .39 with in ad Q
pay with $6 and $5 RR
Pay $ .42 OOP
Get back $3 RR
So you leave with a $3 and $2 RR and $46.83 worth of goodies! I'm so happy that some of my Wags are now taking more than 1 RR per purchase! Can you say practically free diet pepsi?
2. I'm so happy I scored another coupon for Pace picante sauce. I play the game everyday and this is the 2nd time I've won a coupon!!
Total OOP today $0.77

Tuesday day #15
******I got my $79 VISA GC from Lowe's today!!! I feel all better! I have officially recouped from last week. ******
1. Took breakfast and lunch to work. Didn't even drink a soda!
2. Spent $ 0.25 OOP at WAGS! I bought Bayer Glucose monitor, Rembrandt toothpaste, Ecotrin, Bayer Crystals, Nivea Bodywash, wrapping paper and little .20 barrettes for fillers using RR's. Gotta roll those RR's.
Got another $5 RR moneymaker! (I'm up +$20 in RR's-I plan to try to get at least 1 a day)
3. Got home and opened my mail and I'm so happy to get the Visa GC from Lowe's.......................
Now I'm trying to decide how use it- I want to use it for groceries and some drugstore deals. See if I could use ONLY GC for groceries for the month of MAY? Since I have $10 GC to Target already and a $25 Target GC on the way, I think maybe I can do this. 10 + 25+ 79=$114!!
4. I will be getting $31 on my Walgreens GC. I really didn't put my heart into the rebates this month, so sad they have discontinued this program.
5. We had a personal challenge this month-paid a big bill $2,000 in cash(really didn't want to touch savings) ..on top of our regular monthly bills. We did it and we're proud. I'm so glad this month is over. Pay day is near....we now have more confidence in our ability to budget and be frugal. Darlin Dan has been a real trooper!!
6.Entertainment tonight--American Idol & Dancing with the stars!!

Total OOP for week #2 $74.88 (yikes)
I'm feeling bad about my total OOP for this week. But, with my money makers, maybe it won't be so bad!
1. Last night, I made homemade low carb pizza. You are probably thinking, is there such a thing as low carb pizza? YES-the crust is made out of cheese and eggs-the toppings are regular-we had pepperoni! I had everything on hand-did not have to buy anything just for this.
2. We are having crockpot roasted chicken tonight! Darlin Dan will probably want a sandwich out of it-he loves sandwiches.
3.Darlin Dan cut the grass yesterday-no paying a service for that.
4. CVS run-Nothing OOP-received $9 ECBs!
5. WAGS run- OOP $1.22 (but gained $15RR's!)
6. Donated female grooming items to the non-profit organization Darlin Dan works for.
7. Tonight's entertainment-Dancing with the Stars!

My latest money maker idea
Actually I got this idea off of Hounding with Frugalsuz' blog last night. She bought a boat load of glucose monitors at WAGS-with Q's of course-so nothing OOP and RECEIVE $5 RR! I actually have quite a few of these Q's, so starting today I will try to use up my Q's if possible. I could possibly make up what I spent this week! I will donate these to my part time job!
So far, I have 3-so I have made $15 in RRs.
