November Totals

  I struggled to decide whether or not to post this, because it doesn't seem right to boast about giving.  However, it is nice to show that you don't need to spend a lot to give a lot.

  This November, with the help of donated coupons, we donated over $207 worth of product for a net cost just 70 cents*.  Included in this were 8 packs of razors (4 not pictured), 20 bars of soap, 6 body washes, and eight deodorants.  It would have been more but I was out of town and unable to shop the week of Thanksgiving when there were some GREAT deals.

  How did you do?

*Final price after store credit and rebates.  Does not include sales tax.

Apology

I need to apologize for not posting the deals for this week, 11/25-12/1.  We have been traveling for the holidays and I have had limited access to the internet.  

If you would like to research coupon deals, one of my favorite websites is www.thekrazycouponlady.com.  They feature coupon matchups for the three major drugstores.

New coupon deals for the first week in December will be coming soon.
