Results Week: Week of 5/26-6/1

This has been a crazy week in my life!! Where I work, we have to work every holiday, so I had a busy holiday weekend of work!  Tuesday I did a small couponing trip for the week!!  Decided that Wednesday I was going to work on the blog and get everything caught up and bring more deals.  I ended up not doing it because the internet server was down and a helper that I have, their computer died, as in dead-dead.  So here I am playing catch up and I prepare for our family vacation next week!  No need to worry, I will be couponing and posting deals at the beach!  My goal is to work on them each evening before bed and each morning before my kids wake up and try to run out the door for the ocean! Back to my couponing trip.  I went to CVS & Rite Aid and didn't use hardly any coupons.  It was mainly the rewards.  CVS became a good hotspot for the little travel size items!  I also decided to scoop up some clearance from Rite Aid too!  Also bought an Xtra Detergent because my price is at $1.99 tops and since I am couponing for my soon-to-be college cousin, I needed to help him get stocked up on some goodies!!
