My vanity sunk my savings

Once again, the ladies at www.thefrugalgirls.com have turned me on to some great savings. This week, I got a Sunday paper and clipped, clipped, clipped the coupons. Then, I waited somewhat impatiently for The Frugal Girls to do the math for me. Here's how I made out this week....

Excedrin Extra Strength Express Gels (20 count)- Regularly priced $3.59

Used $3/1 Target coupon

plus $1/1 Excedrin mftr coupon

Total- Free!!! Plus, I snagged a bottle that included a free 8ct. sample of Excedrin PM!!!

Secret Clinical strength (travel size)- Regularly priced $2.49

Used $2/1 mftr coupon

Total- $0.49

Lean Cuisine Entrees- Regularly priced $2.49 each

Sale $1.80 each

Used $1.10/2 mftr coupon

Total- $2.40 for 2, which is $1.20 each

Nice & Easy Foam hair color - Regularly priced $9.99

Used $1/1 Target coupon

Plus $3/1 mftr coupon

Total- $5.99

Now, the hair color was not something found at the Frugal Girls, but I wanted it and I had 2 coupons so... come on! It was still a good buy. All said, I spent just $8.45 for everything pictured above, and since I used a gift card, it was free to me.

Total percentage of savings- 62%

If my Vanity had not gotten the better of me- 74%
