Savings Summary Saturday - July 7

Items sent for:

• CVS coupon via Facebook (selected $2 off soda/candy purchase)
• Old Navy coupon via Facebook (20% off next purchase)

Grocery Shopping (and other savings) this week:

• Giant had Coke products on sale, so stocked up on soda!
• Went to Logan's Steakhouse on the 4th and took advantage of the BOGO coupon that was valid on the 3rd & 4th.
• Posted items on Ebay & Yardsellr.
• send in a BIG check towards the mortgage principle.  Heads up to all who send in extra payments - ALWAYS check that the bank is applying the money towards the principle.  I had to call because I checked it and they didn't.  Then I realized they didn't apply the extra money I sent in last year to just the principle either!  CRAP!  I did realize that I have been overpaying the mortgage by $14.50 every month (automatic withdrawal) and it has been applied towards the principle.  YEAH!
• I bought Avon products through Yardsellr this week.  Saved over $15.

Gas Savings:

•  both of us used Exxon card which gives us UPromise $. (Shell was closed due to the power outages (I think or out of gas...) when I needed gas.

• 4 weeks of $10 off $40 coupons from Harris Teeter
