How Much Can I Save in a Year? July Link-Up!


   
 Well my savings kinda took a nosedive this month due to us traveling over half of it.  My best savings were at Target, by far! However, I also go in some great internet deals at Shutterfly thanks to some great coupons from registering at various places and target.com thanks to their great daily deals!

July Savings 
$61.01

2011 Total Savings
$534.72

Best of Savings

Free or Almost Free Items this month with coupons:

-2 packs of Sharpie Markers (Free)
-Scotch tape (Free)
-McDonald's medium smoothie (Free)
-Pack of Fischers Hot Dogs (Free)
-2 packs of pens ($.02 each)
-Infant jeans from Target ($0.50)

A Little Savings Tidbit



-I was so excited to find these jeans at Target on clearance and be able to use a coupon from their website! The coupon was for $2 off any infant or child's jeans...which means I got these for $0.50! Because you can print two of each of their coupons I had an extra and was able to give it to a girl I know that I ran into there in the baby section, which allowed her to get in on the same deal! Even if Adeline skips over 24 months, which I know happens sometimes, what a great piece of clothing to donate!

-I also recently "Liked" Money Saving Mom and Coupon Divas on Facebook to make the deal finding even easier! I know, I know...come into the 21st century, right?! I follow Money Saving Mom religiously as one of my favorite savings blogs, but by liking these websites on Facebook, I am able to find the deals a little more quickly and as they are posted.  Just works for me. :) (And of course, I already "Like" Thankfully Thrifty for awesome quick deal updates!)
  
Now it's your turn! Grab the button and link up below with a deals post of your own.  Whether its an update on your savings so far this year or just a great trip you had with great savings! Anything goes! Also, make sure to go check out Thankfully Thrifty to see how Ashleigh's savings are going so far this year!

  3. Thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. Target clearance is the BEST! I have gotten so many cute little things for my baby girl. They just had all their little summer shirts for 1 dollar each on clearance so I stocked up for next year. Congrats on your baby girl. I'm following now!
