If you are a new reader I would like to introduce myself and my blog.
I have tried “couponing” in the past, I would spend all this time cutting out coupons, taking them to the store, try to shop with them and when it came time to check out I would save maybe $7- $12.
It just wasn’t worth it! My time was worth more than the little amount I was saving.
I was lucky enough a few years ago to have a good friend, Susan W., take me by the hand and show me what I was doing”wrong”!
Since then, I have cut our families grocery, toiletry, and “extras” budget from about $1300 a month to under $450.
My blog is dedicated to showing you how to do this also, teaching you where, and how to find all the best deals that I find. Whether you need to cut your grocery bill because of financial reasons or you want to improve your lifestyle this is the place for you!
To find all the current drugstore and grocery deals, click on the store logo’s on the right side of this blog, if you are interested in humorous stories about the life of “mylitter” click on our family photo!
My Litter, includes my crazy fun children, ages 12, 9, 7, 6, 3 and 1, my husband Paul and numerous pets!
Join me and “MyLlitter” as we find the best deals, one deal at a time!
Weclome!

Bath & Body Works, saved 82%!
Shellie went to Bath & Body Works today to get the 4/$10 Antibacterial Soaps she posted about HERE. “When I walked in, I discovered that they had all their 4oz candles priced at $5. That was too good a deal for me to pass up.
So I filled a basket and the total before all the sale prices and my coupons came off was $62.79 (includes tax). Here’s how I knocked off 82%:”
(4) Candles – $20
(4) Antibacterial Soap – $10
-Used $10/$30 coupon I posted about HERE
-Used $10 Gift Card I had been saving from HERE
Final Price (with tax) = $11.65
“I plan on bundling the soap and the candle and giving that as a gift. I may try to add something else kitchen-y to the bag. But the bottom line is I got 4 Christmas presents today for only $11.65!”
