Frugal Friday

Welcome to the very first Frugal Friday! Every Friday I'll be posting about my weekly grocery shopping, coupons & hot deals! I am not totally prepared this week, so I'm going to share what I got today at Publix. I was waiting for today because Dollar General has a printable for $5/$25 purchase, good TODAY ONLY! Publix in my area accepts them as a competator. So I printed two and broke my stuff up into two transactions. This is what I came home with (note Morgan on the table going after the bagel crisps).

First transaction: Out of pocket (OOP) - $10.28 Saved - $36.65
Second transaction: OOP - $22.95 Saved - $23.41

So I got a $93.29 worth of groceries for $33.23!

Aside from coupons, requesting free samples online is another great way to save! There have been a lot of Facebook promos lately, too. Here is a sampling of some of the things that have come in my mailbox this past week:

Aveda shampoo/conditioner samples
coupon for $.99 off a $.99 bag of Ruffles
3 coupons for a FREE 1/2 gallon of 8th Continent Soymilk
coupon for FREE Renuzit cone
$10/$10 purchase from Victoria's Secret

And speaking of Facebook, if you are going to be anywhere near a Bath & Body Works this weekend, head over to their Facebook page where you can print a coupon for a FREE 1.6 oz. candle! And check out the Downy Facebook page tonight, 1/28, at 8:00 EST where you could score one of 10,000 sample of April Fresh Downy!

So now it's your turn! Feel free to link up your frugal posts for the week. Anything from a great shopping trip, how you organize your coupons, free finds or even frugal tips! Just PLEASE make sure you link back here, and only link your permalink, not the url for your blog! If you arent linked back to me, I will have to delete your link. Thank you! :)
