My CRAZY Safeway Trips !!!

OK I am out of control sometimes! I saw on Saving 4 My Family an awesome Catalina deal with Windex, Pledge and Scrubbing Bubbles. Click on their link above for the details

So I hurried to my favorite Safeway with a hole in my pocket and $ and Cats (from a previous promo) to spend! Dont worry I didnt wipe out the store:-) I split up my transactions between 2 stores so I saved some for other people!

This is what I got:

28 Bottles of Windex ( I will sell @ my garage sale)

8 Bottles Scrubbing Bubbles

2 Bottles Pledge Multi Purpose Spray (I bought the wrong one originally had to return it, they only had 2 bottles left)

2 Pledge Mulit Purpose Duster ( I did not get a Cat for this, needed it anyway though)

Total before Club Card & Coups: $225.39!

OOP (Money Spent Out of Pocket): $7.52!!! I had $16 in Cats as well as Coups

Still have $5 in Cats

That is whopping 96% Savings!

Woot Woot is all I have to say!

Amazing Organic Goat Milk Soap!

I just have to tell everyone about my favorite soap of all time! Yes it's true I actually PAY for it. It may seem like a hard thing to do when you can get so many soaps/shampoo's and body washes for free or make money on them at Walgreens

BUT.....

This soap is amazing! It last's 3 times longer than any soap I've ever ''bought'', it smells and feels amazing and it's all natural all organic. Knowing that it has no harmful dye's perfumes or who know's what makes me feel a lot better too.

My 3 favorites are:

Peaches N Cream (love this one for my face)
Refreshing Cucumber
Citrus Glow

So I would recommend checking out Organic Way Soap and see for yourself how great it is.
