This is a pretty good example of how to roll rewards at a drugstore and get what you want!  The Dove/Suave deal had a lot more products included such as Axe and Suave deodorant & haircare.  In fact, some of those items would have made an even sweeter deal, but I'm a Dove girl through & through!  Everything I bought today is a favorite in our house, especially the M&Ms, which we are using as bribery to potty train our little girl!

My Monthly Savings-July

Since I started couponing nearly 1 year ago, I've never come in this much under budget!  I'm super excited about it too!  Check out the numbers:

July Budget:  $375.00

Total Shelf Cost:			$476.82
Total Coupon Savings:			$   78.45
Total Discounts:			$ 160.48
Total Savings:			$ 238.93
Amount Paid (after         rebates):			$237.89
Savings Rate:			50.11%

I came in $112.11 under budget!!!

Even though my savings rate was only at 50%, I only spent $237.89 for all food, household & H&B products for a month!  To me, that's pretty epic!

Live Frugal.  Live Happy.
