HOT NEW Marcal Small Steps $1/1 IP = FREE Toilet Paper at Shoprite
I was about to post a great $1/2 Marcal coupon when I came to their site and found this instead!
The single rolls of toilet paper are regularly priced at 99c at most Shoprite stores, making for Free toilet paper after coupon!
This is such a great Earth Day coupon!
And, in honor of Earth Day......
A few reminders to help you save money and the environment while still getting all these great IPs.
1. Use scrap paper to print coupons. Anything from school reminders to junk mail will work!
2. Set your printer to draft and greyscale to use the least amount of ink.
3. Read the information on the coupon before printing. A quick glance over can reveal any specifications that may make you decide to skip an IP.
Any other tips on saving while printing are surely welcomed!

Shopping totals week of 4/3-4/9
I've set a running total of $120 to last through April 30th. I usually set a weekly budget but felt that it might work better to keep a monthly running tally, so that if I am over one week and under the next it equals out better. However, I am wondering if having those weekly limits keeps me on better task....I'll have to see how the rest of the month plays out.
Here's the week in pictures:

Wednesday Tip Day----Stinky!
PHOTO CORTESY OF WWW.THESTONESOUP.COM
I just opened my May 2010 issue of "Family Circle" and right there on p15, I found a great tip.
Since it's fresh in my mind, it will work perfectly for today's tip!
Love fish, but hate the smell left after the meal.
Sprinkle a "bit" of cinnamon on a baking sheet and bake in a 250 degree oven for 10 minutes to get rid of the smell!
Have a kitchen tip to share, post it in the comments!

Shopping week 3/27-4/2----I REALLY DID IT!
You may remember that I set a goal for the 5 weeks beginning 2/27 and ending 4/2 at an average of $25 per week. I needed to stay under $17.71 in order to meet that goal and I did it! I spent a grand total of $11.98. That means I ended the month $5.73 under budget. I had planned to run out today and pick up a few odds and ends, which would have put me closer to breaking even, but since that never happened I get to end the month a few dollars under!
I'm working on April's budget and thinking that rather than return to my normal $40/week budget, I am going to set a goal of $30/week. I've also decided that since I rarely stay on target in any individual week, I will set this budget as a running total. So, from 4/3-4/30 my budget is $120.
Adams: $5.69
Shoprite: $0.00 (used a $5 CAT)
CVS: $1.28
Freihofer's Bread Outlet: $3
Shoprite: $2.01
Total= $11.98
Total Savings = $212.69
94% Savings!!!
