toiletries

We wrapped up the latest frugal challenge this week, collecting toiletries to donate to Freedom House on a $10 budget.

All in all, there were five of us participating – Me, Ann, Tiffany, Eleanor, and Zoe – and we collected a total of $260.01 worth spending $44.61!

My total was $52.63. This round’s winner was Ann; she took advantage of Martin’s fuelperks, among other strategies, to pick up $82.94 while spending less than $7! Tiffany came in second with $66.35.

As the sales played out this year, we picked up lots of cheap Old Spice body wash and deodorant ($.49 each with coupons during Kroger’s P&G sale) but almost no toothpaste. The small Suave deodorants and Carefree liners were less than ten cents each at Kroger after doubled $.50 coupons.

You could have got FREE toothpaste at Walmart. Their colgate 4 oz tubes were .94 and the $1 coupons made them free! ( well .06 money maker but they never give me the overage! :( ) But great job guys!!!!!

I didn’t even realize I won this round! But in reality the real winner is Freedom House. It is amazing what a few people clipping coupons and watching sales flyers can do to help out others. :)

Thanks for coordinating this challenge,
