	***TOTAL*****				$102.90		$79.96

It's pretty easy to decipher but here's a breakdown. I have my quantity and description of each item (including size which is VERY important. When price matching it needs to be the same as in the ad). Next comes store you are price matching too followed by the price you want to match. I then have in a formula that times my quantity by the price I'll pay to give me the total price for that product. I list any coupons, minus them from the price I'll pay which gives me my net price. Next to that you will see an empty column called  RETAIL PRICE. That I fill in while in the store. I put in what I would have paid had I paid the WalMart price for it. Now, one thing you will need to do is make sure that the WalMart price isn't lower than the price match price, which does sometimes happen. If that happens, don't price match it (duh!) but still note the retail price and cross out your price match price. You should be able to copy and paste it into your word program and print it out for your own use. Or, have fun, create your own using your own template and mine as a guide

So, for this week, my total is $102.90 and after coupons it will be $79.96. After my trip tomorrow I will be able to share what the retail price is and get my total savings. 

Now, here's a deal YOU can get in on even if you have no coupons in hand. The coupons for the creamers are ONLINE. You want in? Well here you go!

***TIP - YOU MAY WANT TO CREATE A SEPARATE EMAIL (GMAIL, HOTMAIL, ETC) JUST FOR COUPONING TO MAKE IT EASIER TO KEEP ORGANIZED***

COFFEEMATE CREAMER COUPONS

fill out the quick form to sign up and you will get to a page where you can print 2 different coffee mate creamer coupons. 1 is for .55 off 1 the other is for .75 off 2. These are on the list and on sale for .99 (which is already a steal)! You can use the back button and it will let you do 2 of each coupon! SCORE!

DEAN'S DIPS

Sign up and they will send you a coupon to your email for $1.00 off any 2 12 oz or larger dip. Current pricematch price is $1.00 so you get 2 for $1.00 which equals $0.50 each!

HILLS BROTHERS COFFEE

$1.00 OFF COUPON. That makes the can of coffee $4.99 after coupon

The coupons for the Ritz crackerfuls/8 pack of coke are a store pack coupon. What does that mean? You know those coupons that come displayed on the aisle's in a big pack? Yeah, those. It's one to save $1.50 if you buy an 8 pack of coke AND a box of Ritz Crackfuls. I broke it down to .75 each on my spreadsheet to make it easier to calculate. Look for those by the crackfuls! Maybe you'll get lucky (I've had mine, courtesy of my co-worker Heidi, for a couple weeks now so not sure how long they will last at your WalMart either)

I hope some of you have the great Pepsi coupons from a couple of weeks ago. A 2 Liter bottle of Diet Pepsi for $0.45? Now THAT'S a deal! ($1.00 on sale - .55 coupons = $0.45 out your pocket).  

I'm off to hunt for some more coupons (see my last blog for some great online printable coupon sites) and who knows - maybe you'll get ANOTHER blog from me tonight with some links to some great coupons you can use this week to get some more steals of your own. 

Again, feedback is ALWAYS welcome. Please follow me if you are so inclined and .... clicking on the ads to the right are free for you and help me out tremendously.
