Sorry to be MIA. Things here have been CRAZY! I've been having a bout of depression. I feel better today. My sweet Hubby is taking me to Vegas for my birthday. We leave on Monday and get back of Friday. I really need to get away.
I want o catch up on my mail call. Since my last post I've gotten:
Pepsi deal coupons from a rebate.
Domino Sugar recipes with 2 sugar coupons
$5.00 gift card from Save a Lot from the Fuel Your Family for Free promotion. I wasn't in the promotion area so they sent me a gift card.
That's all I can remember.
I have to go through all my coupons today and take out all the expiring ones. I have to see if there's anything that expires today that I don't want to miss out on.
I have to go to Target to take advantage of the Pepsi sale. I'm going to buy 5 12 packs for $15.oo. I have 5 $2.00 coupons. This brings the total to $5.00. If you buy 5 packs you get a $5.00 gift card so I will actually get the Pepsi for free. My grandaughter wants Sierra Mist so I'll probably buy that since I still have Pepsi left from the orginial promotion.

Tuesday's Mail Call
Today I got my Dairy Queen gift card for posting the value meal menu on my blog. Yippee! I now have $5.00 toward my next blizzard fix.
I also got my electric/water/trash/cable/internet bill. These are all combined into 1 utility bill. Thanks for the short month it was $94.00 cheaper than January's bill. It's $31.00 more than lst year. The rates have gone up and this winter has been so cold.

OH NO!!
I was making some turkey salad for my lunch...
I had cut up some turkey from last nights dinner
I added some green olives and celery.
I went to the refrigerator to get out the mayo.
OH NO! There was only a spoonful left. I scraped the jar clean.
I went back to the refrigerator to get out the Mircle Whip.
OH NO! Less than a spoonful left.
I scraped that jar clean too.
The turkey salad turned out just right, but now I'm out of mayo and Miracle Whip.
I went to the computer to look up Hellmann's to write and tell them how much I loved their product in hopes of getting a coupon from them to help with my next purchase. Lo and behold they are offering a $1.00 coupon for mayo on their website. I was able to print two coupons by using the backspace and refreshing the page. Now, I hope Walmart has a good price on the Hellmann's mayo since Giant Eagle doesn't take internet coupons.

February's Totals
I ended up $91.38 under my $400.00 budget for February. Here's the final numbers.
$312.85 OOP
629.18 Shelf
168.86 Coupons, EBC & cats used
304.71 Total Saved
This is a 48% savings. I shopped Giant Eagle twice last week. I went on Wednesday to take advantage of the sale that was ending that day. I went back on Thursday to shop this weeks sale and to use the coupons that would be expiring in February. I shouldn't have to go shopping this week unless I go to CVS to take advantage of any good sales that I can't live without.
