How can I.....

give 25 boxes of diaper wipes at a baby shower and not go broke? The Grocery Game. I have been a gamer for almost 2 years. The key is stockpile!!and COUPONS! I have enough shampoo for the 4 of us for at least 6/8 months or more, as well as body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes. I haven't bought cereal since August. I have done this all with a budget of $100. a week. This week I only need Milk, fresh fruit, yougurt and fresh veggies,and will pick up some free toothbrushes. I have donated tons of stuff, I have also sent stuff to my niece in San Francisco who is going through the job corps program and doesn't make a whole lot of $$ and since I get the stuff so cheaply and or free, I pay more in postage then I actually paid for the stuff I send her. Below is a photo of some of the stuff I got last weekend with the proctor and gamble coupon. The deal was buy 5 p&g products and the coupon printer at the checkout will spit out a $10 coupon, which I just kept rolling over and over and over to the tune of 33 transactions, some of which totaled 0 or .35 it was such a adrenaline rush!



This photo was just the stuff I got on Saturday, the girls wanted to go to the dollar store and there was an Albertsons in the same parking lot so guess what....I went and did some more coupon rolling!
Here is what I got for the 2 days I did this, not everything is in the photo.
46 diaper wipes
4 pantene shampoos
1 always pads
50 always pantiliners
8 cans of Folgers
23 kandoo kids handwash
25 dawn dish liquid

32 cases of capri sun juice pouches
16 boxes of yogo fruit snacks

Total saved: $551.80
