Couponing for Charity Update #25


Before I begin posting the deals starting 10/24, I figured I should update my totals from this week of which deals I got. If you're new to Couponing for Charity, here's the background. This was my plan, and below reflects only what I'll be donating. I do keep some deals for my family. I hope you'll consider joining me in my quest of freebies for those less fortunate.

CVS:
  • 1 Schick razor ($8.49, got $5ECB, used $4MC=$.51MM)
  • 1 Mentos gum (bought 2 at $1.79 each; B1G1 deal; used 2 $1MC=$.11MM each)
WALGREENS:
  • 1 Nivea mens body wash ($4.99, on sale for $2.50, used $3MC=$.50MM)
  • 1 Blistex ointment ($2.59 sale price, get $2.60RR=$.01MM)
  • 3 Campbell's cream of mushroom soups ($4.50, used WC to save $2.13, used $1.50/3MC=$.87 total)

KROGER:
  • 2 Dial liquid hand soaps ($1.63, on sale for $1, used 2 $.35MC doubled=$.60 total)
  • 1 Crest toothpaste ($2.99, on sale for $1, used $.50MC doubled=FREE)
  • 2 Bumblee tuna packs ($1.99, on sale for $1, used $1/2MC=$1 total)

TOTAL PRODUCTS TO DONATE THIS WEEK: 1 razor, 1 gum, 1 body wash, 1 lip balm, 3 soups, 2 hand soaps, 1 toothpaste, 2 tuna
TOTAL VALUE OF PRODUCTS TO DONATE THIS WEEK: $32.59
TOTAL SPENT THIS WEEK: $1.34

TOTAL PRODUCTS TO DONATE TO DATE: 1 lotion, 6 toothpaste, 2 heat wraps, 7 lip balms, 2 body wash, 1 shaving gel, 2 razors, 1 lipstick, 1 multi-purpose solution, 1 candle, 6 first aid kits, 2 deodorants, 2 travel wash detergent packs, 1 cough drops, 2 pantyhose, 1 gum, 3 soups, 2 hand soaps, 2 tuna
TOTAL VALUE OF PRODUCTS: $126.15
TOTAL SPENT: -$2.90 (that's negative nearly three bucks)

So, I actually splurged and spent some money this week because I'm preparing a stash to donate to Second Harvest. I realize I haven't covered my tax, but I'm willing to take a little hit for charity. Normally, I'd be spending close to $10 to donate 10 cans of food. With couponing, I can donate more with less. Having fun yet?
