This week, ShopRite is having an amazing catalina deal. When you buy 10 items from their selected list, you will receive a $10.00 catalina!
Note the bottom left-hand corner.....Sobe Life Water and Lipton Naturals Iced Tea are $1.00 each. That means, when you buy 10 of these you'll receive a $10.00 catalina - which makes them FREE. And who doesn't love free??
There's also another sweet sale going on right now. Saving Star has teamed up with Quaker to offer us a fantastic deal. When you buy $15.00 worth of select Quaker products, you will receive a $5.00 deposit to your account.
I matched this deal up with $1.00/2 Quaker Oatmeal coupons that I printed last week. (They're no longer available.)
So here's a breakdown:
Transaction #1
10 Sobe Life Waters - $1.00 each
Total: $10.70 (w/tax)
Total OOP: $10.70
Received: $10.00 Catalina
Transaction #2
10 Sobe Life Water - $1.00 each (was supposed to be 4, but my son put 10 in the cart & I didn't notice)
6 boxes of Quaker Oatmeal - $2.99 each
Coupons Used:
(3) $1.00/2 Quaker Oatmeal
(1) $10.00 Catalina
Total Before Coupons: $26.64
Total Coupons Used: $13.00
Total OOP: $15.64
Received: $10.00 Catalina + $5.00 SavingStar deposit!
Transaction #3
10 Sobe Life Waters - $1.00 each
Total Before Coupons: $10.70 (w/tax)
Total Coupons Used: $10.00 Catalina
Total OOP: $0.70
Received: $10.00 Catalina
Transaction #4
10 Sobe Life Waters - $1.00 each
Total Before Coupons: $10.70 (w/tax)
Total Coupons Used: $10.00 Catalina
Total OOP: $0.70
Received: $10.00 Catalina
I plan to roll this Catalina all week long to stock up on Sobe. My hubby & my kids LOVE this stuff, and it certainly will NOT go to waste in this house!
In case you lost count in the math up there, I've gotten 40 bottles of Sobe so far. (I've only been home an hour, and three bottles have been confiscated by the men of the house!) The total OOP for all 4 transactions is $27.04. But if you subtract the $14.94 that I paid for the oatmeal, my total OOP for the Sobe is $12.10! That evens out to $0.30 per bottle! I cannot believe that.
I plan on rolling the Catalina 2-3x per day, for the next 6 days. (At the end of the Catalina deal, my last $10.00 Catalina will go towards my shopping order next week.) If I manage to get 30 bottles per day with my Catalina rolling, I will have a total of 220 bottles of Sobe (less whatever has been devoured by then) The total breakdown will end up being an amazing $0.11 per bottle.
I'm in utter shock and awe at the moment......

Homemade Fabric Softener
Posted by
Heather
To go along with my Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent, I made a batch of Homemade Fabric Softener. This recipe couldn't be easier. I could even have my 2 year old make it & it would still come out fine!
I use the Downy Ball for my fabric softener. I found it at Target for $2.29 and it works great. Especially since I don't have a fabric softener dispenser in my washer.
What You'll Need
1 container (an old fabric softener bottle, clean milk jug, etc)
6 cups HOT water
1 1/4 cups distilled white vinegar
1/2 bottle of conditioner (use a cheap brand, like Suave or VO5)
How To Make
This couldn't be easier. Fill your container with the ingredients, and shake it. THAT'S IT! To use it, just fill your Downy Ball to the MEDIUM line and toss in the washer.
You will seriously be amazed at how soft your clothes are! I know I sure was.
The total for this fabric softener will vary, depending on what conditioner you use. This batch costs me about $0.60 and it will last 6-8 months!

Homemade Powdered Laundry Detergent
Posted by
Heather
I read a lot of articles and webpages about making your own laundry detergent in lieu of buying commercial-made laundry detergent. I'm a pretty skeptical person, so I highly doubted that something made in my kitchen could work as well as the products that I have used my whole life. But, after seeing how cheap it was to make, I figured that I had nothing to lose. So off to the store I went to gather everything I needed.
Seriously, making your own laundry couldn't be easier. And it takes all of about 5 minutes of your time to make. You'll be shocked, I promise.
What You'll Need:
2. Add 1 cup of Borax, 1 cup of Washing Soda and 2/3 cup of Baking Soda (optional). Stir well to combine.
3. Add 1T - 3T of powder to each load, depending on how dirty your clothes are.
4. Enjoy extremely clean, fantastic smelling laundry for months.
Seriously, that's it. Two steps, and you're done. Three steps, if you count adding to your washer.
For the sake of science, I decided to test this mixture on a load of sheets. I figured that replacing sheets would be a lot easier than replacing clothing. So, with butterflies in my stomach, I started the washer & added the powder. (This is highly recommended, as this mixture doesn't usually fully dissolve so adding it on top of the clothes isn't the best option.) I added the sheets to the washer, then filled my Downy Ball with my Homemade Fabric Softener (click the link for the recipe).
When the washer was done, I opened the lid and was fully prepared to be disappointed. Boy, was I wrong! The smell alone was amazing. So clean! I moved them to the dryer, and ran them through. When they were nice & dry, I took them out & took a big sniff. They smell amazing. Plain & simple. Almost as though they were hanging on a clothes line in the country all day long. And that amazing Homemade Fabric Softener made these sheets feel like cashmere.
Positively amazing.
Price Breakdown
Borax - $3.49 (makes 7 batches)
Washing Soda - $2.99 (makes 7 batches)
Baking Soda - $2.16 (makes 7 batches)
Fels-Naptha - $0.99 (1 bar per batch)
Per Bath Price
Borax $0.49
Washing Soda $0.42
Baking Soda $0.30
Fels-Naptha $0.99
$2.20 per batch
This batch will last 2-3 months, depending on how much you use per load. Seriously, who doesn't LOVE saving money?

What You'll Need:
1 bar Fels-Naptha Laundry Soap

Borax
Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (optional)
How To Make:
1. Using an everyday kitchen grater or microplane, grate the entire bar of Fels-Naptha.
3. Add 1T - 3T of powder to each load, depending on how dirty your clothes are.

How to Calculate Your Total Savings
Posted by
Heather
I've been asked how to calculate your total savings on your grocery bill.
Here's a simple way to figure it out.
At the bottom of your grocery receipt, most stores will calculate the total you saved during your shopping trip.
To calculate your total savings into a percentage use this formula:
Total SAVED + Total Paid= TOTAL VALUE
Total Saved ÷ Total Value = PERCENTAGE YOU SAVED
For example (using my receipt from today):
Total Saved = $126.97
Total Paid = $81.89
Total Value = $208.86
$126.97 ÷ $208.86 = 0.60791918031 or 60% SAVINGS
