Dollar General Clearance Saved 89%!!

I shopped at two different Dollar General stores today. They are having a $.10 sale for all of their summer items and some home items. They are also having a $1 sale for their clearance clothing.
This is how I did....
At the two stores I shopped today, they didn't have much summer items left.
But I was able to save a lot on some clothing!

Before Clearance-$121.50
Saved-$108.00
OOP-$13.50

Saved 89%!!!!

Most of the clothing I purchased was for my kids next summer wardrobe.
Three of their items were 2 piece sets, so technically $0.50 a piece!

I was able to get a few items for myself and my hubby too!

This was a GREAT deal!!!!!!

Firehouse Subs





Ever since Firehouse Subs opened in the town where my hubby works, we've eaten there a few times. Although until a couple of days ago, it had been a few months since we visited.  So we took our kids out for supper there. We thought our boys (ages 2 years & 3 years) would love the fire department theme! Of course they did!! We enjoy it too, my hubby is a volunteer firefighter, my dad was the firechief of the same volunteer fire departement for years, my hubby's father was a firefighter and my sister's husband is also a fireman. So, we really LOVE that this restaurant was founded by firemen and it helps firemen. They also give a discount to firefighters. Right now kids eat free there on Mondays and Wednesdays. It happened to be a Monday when we went, although we didn't know about the kids promotion. This was a great deal for us!! (It was blog worthy, as I told the hubby!)

This is what we got....
*2 adult combos
$5.69+$2.19=$7.88
$5.49+$2.19=$7.68
(6 inch sub, chips and drink)
*2 kids combos
$3.69 each
(grilled cheese, small pack of oreos, drink & a firemans hat)

Total Before discount....$24.15

My hubby recieved a fireman's discount....$2.19
(This is the cost of the chips & drink.)
Our kids meals were free.......$3.69 each

Total discount.......$9.57

Our total OOP.....$14.58

If you average that out for a family of four that is $3.66 each!!

That is a great deal for eatting out and helping a good cause at the same time!!!

Walgreens Shopping 7-15 Saved 71%!!!

This has to be one of my favorite Walgreens shopping trips!!! Mainly because I found every item that I went to purchase! I also checked out at the cosmetics counter so no one was waiting behind me and I did not feel rushed. My cashier was very patient with my coupons and my four transactions. That always helps too!

To anyone that is starting couponing, please make sure you ready Walgreens coupon policy carefully!! It is definately one of a kind and has taken me a while to catch on to!
