I have to admit, I was SUPER psyched to shop this week! SUPER psyched! There were so many great deals and so many things to try (I love the not knowing and then testing deals!) that I ran out first thing this morning. It would have been better if I’d waited a few hours so that I could have done the $3 Nature Made moneymaker at CVS instead of the $1 moneymaker that I did, but I have no regrets! As long as you know about both deal options, I’m good. 🙂 Here’s what I did this week (and a huge thank you to my 5 year old who begged to set up the photo this week. She gave it some flair!):

After all was said and done I spent a total of $6.47 for everything. I would have LOVED to get some cheap Suave Body Wash at Walgreens, but that wasn’t in the cards in my area (read more about this before you shop!) I hope this gives you some ideas and have a blast shopping this week!
