Shopping Break

No shopping for me this week. I know I just took a week off, but I need to start working towards using my food up right now. We may be relocating very soon and I don't want there to be any waste from opened packages, bottles, etc. So for the next few weeks I will be necessity shopping (milk, produce, etc) instead of coupon shopping. Since I won't have any ad match-ups or savings deals to pass along I will try to be better about adding coupon and freebie deals that I find. If I notice a super great deal I will try to pass those along as well. Happy shopping everyone and hopefully I will be back on track again soon!

That gives me a 50% savings this week!  I also received another $5 gift card to use towards future purchases.  Pretty good for all the health and beauty products I bought this week.  I should be set for a little bit J However, I noticed there are some OPI nail polishes on clearance and I have a couple of coupons so next week I will more than likely be picking up some more nail polish.
