This was a good week for cheap condiments!!! Which was GOOD because I needed to stock up! And man…. those Mayo, mustard, etc… are EXPENSIVE. Not to mention the fact that we go through nearly 1 bottle of ketchup and 1 bottle of Ranch dressing a WEEK around here. Ross would eat it straight from the bottle if I would let him! (ewww… gross. I know.)
At any rate I feel like I have “arrived” in the couponing world. I made my first run – huge load for next to nothing out of pocket!

Johnson’s Baby Products- $3 each
Buy $25 get $10 back in ECB (total down to $15)
(8) $1 off Johnson’s products
= $7 for 9 Johnson’s products or $0.77 each
(as a ps to this… I have hit so many good Johnson’s deals and it may look like I am hoarding Johnson’s but truthfully all three of my kids still use it and we go through one large bottle of body wash and shampoo a WEEK!)
Then I used $20 in ECB’s from last week and $10 from a gift card
My total OOP on this trip – $0.88
AND I got back in ECB’s another $20.98 to work with next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
