Lost Receipts Make My Day!

Good day fellow savers! I finally found a reciept that I have wracked my brain trying to find for weeks now. This was my pride and joy, my best saving at Publix to date! OK, alright, this isn't Extreme Couponing amazing BUT for anyone who shops at Publix Supermarket knows getting an almost $50 savings on your grocery purchase is AMAZING!

Which is what I did, my savings was $49.28 and I am so proud of myself. My mom didn't believe me but here it is. This was just when my girlfriend was laid off, we received food stamps, also known as EBT.

This purchase was plenty of buy 1 get 1 free (bogos) deals. I bough a few bogo pastas with bogo pasta sauces, some bogo sodas, meats on amazing sales, chicken discount, and lots of other yummy goodies. I don't know about you but food tastes better when you make it with lots of love and get it an amazing deal.

I have tried my darnedest to try to beat my record for savings, but alas I have not. Doesn't mean I will stop trying, just means I haven't met the right deals as of yet. I still hunt, I still coupon, I still feverishly coupon hunt online for those deals that will make my day, my week and even my year.

Happy savings everyone,
Mel

Halloween Horror Nights 2014 Tickets Purchased!!!

HHN 2014 Ticket Prices

I am so excited to announce I have purchased our Halloween Horror Nights tickets for a steal of a price. As I am trying to save as much money as possible for this trip, I am even managed to snag a super savings on our tickets purchase.

The least expensive tickets for this event are the Sunday- Thursday tickets. Which means you only have admission to HHN Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday nights, no Friday or Saturday nights included. Which is fine with me because the most crowded nights are indeed Friday and Saturday.

Normal price for these tickets are $100. The last couple of years Coca-Cola has partnered with Universal Studios Halloween Horror nights to offer significant discount on tickets if you buy a Coca-Cola product with a special code you enter in the Official HHN site to purchase your tickets. Or you can also purchase your tickets at Publix with the special discount without actually purchasing any Coca-Cola product. Which is what I did.

Each ticket on the HHN 24 online purchasing portal is prices at $95.99. However, with the Coca-Cola discount each other Sunday - Thursday tickets come out to $45.99 (including tax). That is a $50 savings on each ticket, which means I saved $100 on HHN tickets! That makes me deliriously happy!


Happy Savings,

Saving on Birthday Presents and Cat Food

You're birthday only comes once a year and I believe it should be celebrated with gifts and cake. My friend's birthday is coming up and I wanted to get her a little something to let her know how special she is to me. Of course, I wanted to do this on a budget. I purchased gift wrapping paper, a candle set and a Bar sign that's a wine bottle holder all for $7.60.

Kohl's send a coupon the mail once a month. The coupons range from 15%, 20% or 30%. This month I only got a 20% coupon, that is what I used for this transaction. Every few weeks Kohl's offers $10 Kohl's when you make a purchase of $50 or more. Plus I received a $10 off savings pass in the mail which I used for this purchase. The purchase came up to $7.60 with a $96.80 savings.

That was my best purchase of the day. I still got a little savings at Target for cat food and birthday card. My total savings at Target was $1.50.

My total savings for the day was $98.30. That made me so happy! Hope this is inspirational and you get your happy savings behind in gear to get you an almost $100 savings for a day of shopping.

Happy Savings,
Melissa
