Haven't went shopping in days. . ..

Something must be wrong with me.
I haven't went shopping in days, and haven't even
had the urge to do so.
Honestly I think I might have gotten a little
coupon shopping burn out.

For July I am going to be trying to cut my grocery shopping
down from 4-5 days a week to 2-3 days a week.
Not only to save on gas due the rising prices.
But I always seem to be running around grabbing
deals, instead of tackling other things around the house
that need done.

I am going to use this Friday, July 4th
to sort, and organize ALL my coupons.
Hopefully I make it out alive. LoL

We are going to celebrate our 4th of July with
family & friends on Saturday.
An then of course we will be back to the flea market
on Sunday to sell lots of goodies and make lots
of money to get some more debt paid off.

Finished up June Monthly CVS Deals

It always seems like I am late to catch the boat with
certain deals lately. Just like this time with CVS monthly
June deals. Dh and I ran to 3 differant cvs stores,
did multiple transactions, and still was not able to
max out all the deals.


This is how we did overall with multiple transactions:
4 CVS Brand Bandaids
3 Brut Deodorant
2 CVS Brand 24pk Water
2 Pampers 48ct Diapers
5 Huggies Baby Wash
8 Small Fusion Shave Gel

Total ecb used: $39.93
Total ecb earned: $24.96
Total spent oop: $6.79


We did use more ecb then we earned.
Which is not how we normally do it.
But at least our out of pocket was low.

Bogo Lifesavers & Schick Refills

Wow it has been almost a week since I last posted.
Sorry about that.
Been so busy crazy with things here at the house.
an things still haven't slowed down a bit.

I feel so overwhelmed with running around,
tracking deals down, to make some extra cash at the flea market.
To help pay down as much debt as possiable this summer.
That I am going nuts.

I can't complain to much.
Since we really have scored some great deals
in the last week.

On Saturday we moved our indoor space
at the flea market to a larger area. $3 a more a week
but we have A TON more room to display and sell things now.

The weather was awful on Sunday so we didn't setup outside
and sell. We just were inside at our new booth and sold a TON!
We are now in a high traffic area, unlike before which helps.
