A little Money Saving challenge update

Rite Aid
2 pks of 45 Dixie paper plates (Bogo sale) $3.99 -$3/2 video values coupon (great deal $0.45/each)
2 Ricola cough drops $1.50/each, $1/2 Q, got back $1UP reward. Currently this is best deal in my area, we needed some since I have been sick.
I used 1 UP reward to pay.
Total out of pocket= $2.43 (subtotal was $1.99, tax was .44).

CVS
We finally started to run low on tp, DH will only use charmin so doing the free deal at riteaid for generic brand wasn't an option.

I bought 2 big packs at cvs for $9.99/each, -$1.50 (2 Qs)
1 dawn for $0.97-$.50 Q= $0.47
1 pk puffs tissues with lotion=$0.99-$0.25 Q (again we needed because of sickness and DH is picky)
4 boxes of raisin bran @ $1.79/each, my grocery store sells for $4/each so this was great deal to stock up for DH.

Grocery store deals
5 Green Giant boxed veggies-sale $1 each, 2 Qs doubles to total of $2.20=$2.80 for 5
3 Campbell's soups $1/each, $1 off Q= $2 total for 3
3 Ragu $2/each-$1.25/3 Q=3.50 total after doubles.
Bananas $0.49/lb got 2 pounds
Blistex chapstick $1-.50 Q doubled=Free
Got 1 discounted meat.
Total was $14.41 for 14 items.
Saved $19.45

DH made a stop for me
2   45 pks of Glad forceflex for $5.99/each- two $3 Qs.=$2.99/each.
5 Oranges for $2
This was great deal for trashbags for us. The $3 Q was an Internet printable, not sure if it's still available.
I'm still trying to update the monthly budget-but I know we're still under for groceries.

Got our electric bill-budget for winter months=$150, bill this month was $95. YAY :)
