Items sent for:

• n/a - nothing this week.

Grocery Shopping (and other savings) this week:

• CVS
• last Saturday, I stopped & got some more $2.50 12pk coke products - ended up getting a $1 ECB for using my green tag and a $10 gift card for the $30 participating products.  I was shocked.  I thought the deal was for in one transaction- need to start look at the small print a little better!
• Best Buy
• Downgraded on my Quicken software (from Premier to Deluxe - wasn't really using the software to the fullest). It was on sale for $59.99, used (2) $5 rewards and used the balance on a gift card - ended up spending about $30.

Gas Savings:

• Hubby used the Exxon card which gives us money in the Upromise account.
