Dave's Card was pretty much the same just without the M&M's.

Total after coupons and ECB's was .84 Total Savings was $38.98 and I got back $16.95 in ECB's for next time.

How did CVS treat you this week? I might go back for a couple things later in the week since I want to check into the free BIC razors.

Ok so I know it's the 5th but here's my recap from last month and my goals for this month.

We have been doing better at not spending much extra and most of the bigger purchases we made last month were planned things. I'd like to improve on this during July. As I said our savings goals have changed quite a bit and we are still working. We added $355 to the saving account last month and that's great compared to previous months but I'd like to add more this month. In order to do that I'm going to be shopping less. I will most certainly buy as many free things as I can to stock up for the yard sale this fall. I make great money selling my stockpile and that money will go towards savings this time.

I had lots of slip ups last month and wasn't keeping up with my totals on the side but I'm starting fresh and I'm going to try again. Since I've never kept track of all my purchases this is a learning curve for me. If I keep getting better I'll go back to accounting for every penny again but for now I'm going to focus on grocery and H&B purchases, my savings through sales and coupons, and on what we've added to savings.

I haven't been shopping this month yet so all my totals are at zero. That will be changing very soon though. LOL Feel free to share your tips, tricks, and goals with me it's so inspirational to hear how you all are doing. I'm going back to cleaning and tending my container garden (it's getting a much needed rearranging and some love today) I'll post some pics when it's done to share with you all.

Here are some deals that I will be getting in on this week. Let me know if you see a super deal.

Hershey's Syrup BOGO $2.39 (I don't have any coupons but I use this in my mochas)

Sweet Baby Ray's BOGO $2.29 (There's a coupon for this but I'm not sure I need it)

A1 Steak Sauce BOGO $4.19 ($2mq)

McCormick GrillMates $1.99 (I know there's coupons out there)

I'll also pick up some Raid with the PQ and MQ out there and some Apple & Eve juice.

Not a whole lot of deals that have me moving but I'll go out and pick up a few things. Is there anything that you see that's a great deal? Let me know what you get this week.

I won't be around today to post my weekly recap but check back tomorrow for it. We are heading out to Daytona in a bit and won't be back till late tonight. Have a great start to your weekend!!!! I might check in via Twitter if I get to do any shopping today.

If so I have a great place for you.
