CVS:
I bought:
  1. Tide $5.69
  2. (2) Revlon eye shadow $6.99 each
  3. 2 candy bars (fillers - will use as stocking stuffers for DH)
1. The eye shadow is B1G1 this week = -$6.99
2. The magic red coupon machine gave me a $3 off any Revlon earlier this week = -$3.00
3. Used -$1 off any Tide
4. Used $10 ECB from the iTunes GC deal last week
= $1.30 OOP ($.29 + $1.01 tax)

PUBLIX:
I bought:
  1. (2) Special K cereal B1G1
  2. (4) Ragu spaghetti sauce B1G1
  3. (2) Nestle morsels $2.50 B1G1
  4. (2) Campbell's Select Harvest Soup B1G1
  5. 1 Tylenol Gelcaps 50 count $3.99
  6. 1 Hershey's Kisses 18.5 oz. Halloween clearance $2.75
  7. Little Blends Yogurt $2.79
  8. 4.38 lb Red Delicious large apples (on sale $.97/lb, got 7 apples)
  9. 2.33 lb bananas $1.61
  10. Disposable aluminum pans $1.79 (my friend had a baby boy today & I'm taking dinner over later this week)
Total before coupons: $31 something.

Used:
$5/$30 Publix coupon from a mailer
$1 Target coupon on any Kelloggs cereal X 2
$.75/2 Ragu X 2
$.50 on Nestle morsels (wish I had a second one)
$.50/2 Select Harvest Soup
$2 Target coupon on the Tylenol
$1 Mfr coupon Tylenol
$1 any Hershey's Kisses
$.55 Publix Yogurt coupon
$1 Mfr yogurt coupon
$1 Target coupon on the apples

Total after coupons = $15.37 including tax.

Then I went to TARGET to get my actual groceries for the week. I also got some other items like plastic storage bins, 2 large and 1 small. I got a ton of stuff, so I'll highlight just the great deals:
  1. Artisan bread in the bakery dept reduced to $1.25 less $1 coupon from target.com = $.25
  2. Ground beef $1.49 each, 85/15% kind (not what I usually buy, but the 93/7% was $4.49!) less $.50 off any ground beef PDF coupon. I got 4 of these; we'll be eating meatloaf (one for my friend who had the baby), chili, and Cheeseburger Macaroni.
  3. Reach floss $.97 less $1.00 Mfr coupon - FREE with overage.
  4. Nutrisse hair color, $7.39 less $1 Target catalina and $2 Mfr. (my secret is out!)
  5. Rayovac Batteries, package of 2, $1 in Dollar section less $1 mfr coupon = FREE
  6. Halloween M&M's 75% clearance to $.74 -- as if that wasn't great enough -- I used a $1/2 12.6 oz Halloween M&M's coupon from target.com. Bought 8, final price $.24 each. I gave away 2 of my extra Q's to 2 ladies in the candy clearance aisle.
  7. Glade Candles & refills 6 at $2.50 less (3) B1G1 coupons. Got $5 gift card. The candles and the $5 gift card will be part of the Teacher gifts my boys are giving their 10 teachers this Christmas.
Before coupons, $177. After coupons = $145.

TOTAL SPENT: $160
TOTAL SAVED: $61
I'm happy with that.
