2 Secret
4 Soft Soap

Coupons Used:
2 (Any) Secret @ .50 cents each (12/19 p&g saver)
Kroger doubled these to $1.00 each
2 Febreeze set and refresh @ $1.00 each (p&g quarterly mailer)

Kroger doubled to .70 cents each

I also saved $4.00 for the P&G mega sale this week.

Total retail: $17.99
Total savings: $14.60
Total oop: $3.31 - 81% savings!

*** I know some may think, "That's great, but she's only getting air freshener and soap."  True... this time.  :)  It may seem odd to stock up on things like air freshener.  But we use it in the bathroom, it's as much a staple at tee pee for us!  :)  So it makes sense for us to buy it when we can get it for .79 cents a can, rather than almost $3.00.  And the soap... we use it daily.  We should buy enough at .18 cents a bottle to last for 6 months to a year.  There are those out there that go crazy.  (Seriously, I've watched You Tube videos!  Just search "My stockpile"!  People are nuts!  :)  So it's important for me to remember 'why' I am doing this.  I've already managed to cut my grocery bill down to $100 or so a week (I'm still learning!)  I used to spend $200+!  It doesn't pay to live right next door to the most expensive grocery store in town!  :s  Hopefully I will be able to post a great Grocery shopping trip this week!  Come on good sales!  :)  Oh... I also thought I should mention:  I've become gun shy buying lots of items at once with my coupons.  Too many times things get messed up, and I'm out a good savings.  Since Kroger is 5 minutes down the street, I don't mind making a few multiple trips in this week while I am out doing other stuff.  Not every does this, or cares.  But it works for me.
