So, I lost about $3 ECB’s this trip, but it wasn’t too bad. I got some tanning lotion that I needed, but I saved money buying it this way. Most of these were monthly deals. The razors are earning $3 ECB’s this week (May 18-24). They were out of some of the other things I wanted to get. Oh well.

You may be wondering why in the world I bought so much milk! Well, as I was browsing the refrigerated section, I noticed a little sticker on the milk case that said, “50% off milk expiring within 3 days”. So, hoping I’d get lucky, I looked in the case and sure enough I found 4 gallons that were expiring in two days! So, I got them for $1.94 each. Yay! They went into my freezer for future use. That was the best deal yet! From now on I’m going to go straight to the milk section to look for more expiring milk!
Thanks to Money Saving Mom for some of these coupons! You can still get these deals, so go get ‘em!!

That is great on the milk! If I had found those…I wouldn’t have to worry about putting them in my freezer…cause they would have gotten used up in three days!
Good job on your deals!

Candace-
Yeah, the milk has always tasted fine to us! It’s a little slushy at first as it thaws, but it’s good!
