Photo Show and Tell – Reader Success Stories!

This is my favorite post of the week.  his post motivates me to continue saving and to continue typing away on this blog each day!  I LOVE to see how everyone is saving – what everyone is buying and how much money everyone is saving!  Remember that there is no “right way” to save.  We all have different goals, priorities, etc.  In my opinion, as long as AddictedtoSaving.com is helping you save more money today than you saved yesterday, then we are all experiencing success!  Feel free to email me photos of your success stories – make sure to tell me where you shopped, how much you spend and how much you saved!  Now.. let’s begin with the Photo Show and Tells!!

Carmen bought everything in the picture above at Walgreens.  She spent $89.45, Saved $95.99 AND received $37RRs!!  Carmen is a couponing newbie so imagine the damage she will do once she really gets into this!! Great job!

Carmen also sent in the picture above.  This is from her CVS shopping trip.  She was able to score a ton of toiletries and most importantly (to me :)) Starbucks Frappucinnos!!  Carmen spent $48.46, saved $71.82 and received $15 ECBs!!  This is 72.2% savings when you factor in the ECBs she received!  Way to go Carmen!

The photo above was taken by Kelly after she hit up Walgreens.  Kelly is what I would call an expert Addicted to Saving shopper 🙂  She also bought another Nestle bar as well as two Ring Pops that are not pictured.  Kelly started with $5RR. Used one printable for $3 off 2 Dove Deodorants, 1 mailer coupon for $1.50 off men’s body wash, 1 coupon from yesterday’s RP insert for $1.00 off men’s body wash, 2 $3.00 coupons for Dulcolax Balance, 1 coupon for b1g1 Crunch Bars, 1 printable coupon for $1.00 off Dentek, $1.50 off the Dove Conditioner in yesterday’s RP. I did this over three trips and spent a total of $7.00 and change!! And, to make this better, Kelly now has $12 in RR to use next time!!  Go HERE to see this week’s Walgreens ad/coupon matchups!  GREAT job Kelly!!
