Today I FINALLY received a rebate. $10 from Del Monte for their January rebate. Hopefully the others are in the mail.

They also sent two $2 coupons for free products. I just mentioned that the "dill flavored green beans" should be marked as pickled, since it was quite a surprise to heat them. Great for salads, but not as a veggie.

So, $10 goes into my $20 challenge, and the $4 coupons go into my coupon box to be claimed as savings in another day.

Shopping, well, not as good this week IMHO. Febreze allergen reducer was $3, usually $5, and I had 5 $2 coupons, so I stocked up. Dawn direct foam, $3 (regularly $5) and I had $1 coupons. A few more rebates, a few more sales and deals.

Superfresh came out to $8 for $45.
Weis came out to $75 for $190.

The Weis earns some rebates to be credited later. But, trying not to spend much as I decrease my stockpile, I'm irritated that I still spent so much! Stuff I need and will use, but I'm still struggling with myself to find the balance. This month finances are a bit tighter than usual.
