You can get really good deals with Walgreens. I got about 3 years of free toilet paper from them :) Post your deals on Walgreens if you find any, I am sure there are many who would love to do WGs too. Thanks Jamy Liz,

I have decided to take on a new store and would love advice from other couponers on Walgreens. I started this week and I will admit it is a litle confusing. With Walgreens, there is another step in calculation that is not so with Publix. I think it will pay off in the end- but if anyone can offer any advice I would love it as it is new for me. I have been reading up on Walgreens on other sites, but if people can tell me there favorite sites, that would be great! I'm trying to figure out a good scenerio to go with the electrol that's free after rr, but it's difficult since I don't have many rr to roll. I've got 5rr from glucose monitor, but then I'd have to eat 4rr on other items and it doesn't seem that there's really too many other good deals this week. Maybe I should just get electrol, pay OOP $1 after Q and have 1rr each for next week? Any advice?

As long as we start getting good deals again, I don't think I'll have any problem with $2500 for the year. Which that's incredible to think that I was spending between $400-500/mo before couponing and not helping the extra 2 people! And there'd still be times when the cabinets and fridge got bare. My cabinets and fridge haven't been bare since August! OK so you put mine up here for me ;) my biggest goal is to get more shelves up and get more organized!

My goal for the year is to start donating to St Francis House. I am starting this week by giving them the Ivory soap that was on a deal.

Iheartpublix come up with a great excel sheet for shopping. I think this year, I am going to include 2 columns on how much I saved and how much which are yard sales. I challenge Julie to get her budget up by this week. She has 7 people in her budget and she said she would set $2500, do you think that is reasonable ? Might be others who read it might want to share their 2010 budget ? Laura,

So, new budget is $1900 for 2010, only $9.60 less per week, giving me a budget of $40.40 per week. I plan to track better this year - I'm pretty sure I came in under $2600, but honestly I don't really know.
