Publix Trip 1/30/12 Spent $82.65 Saved: $86.86 -- 51% Savings!

Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:

Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved


We got stocked up on toilet paper this week and restocked a couple things in the pantry. Also, we bought a roast for extended family dinner night! Picked up some Jimmy Dean D'Lights breakfast sandwiches, too (for me...my diet!)

    We will be donating a pack of toilet paper, some hamburger helpers, and a box of Betty Crocker potatoes this week! The Lord has given us a family to help! For a while I have not felt like the Lord was pulling me in any direction to give, so I have been keeping all donation items, waiting on the Lord's guidance. I'm thankful that I was patient because He brought a special family into our lives and we were able to take and give them 4 grocery bags FULL of food and toiletry items!! I'm so Thankful to be used by the Lord to spread His love. It's all because of Him. He gets all the praise and honor and glory! Without Him....I would be nothing! I always encourage each of you to give of your abundance...There are people hurting and waiting on us (Christians) to reach out and "love" them...Pray and follow the Lord's guidance and I promise you won't be disappointed! God Loves you! I hope you all have a blessed week!!

    Publix Trip 1/14/12 Spent $86.28, Saved $157.79 -- 65% Savings!

    Wondering how I get my Percentage Saved? I use the following equation:

    Total Savings / (Total Spent + Total Savings) = % Saved

    We had a good freezer stocking trip today!! I took both my girls and the hubby stayed home. He usually goes with me because we only had one vehicle up until the Lord blessed me with one for Christmas. I was so used to him going with me that I was scared to tackle it on my own...a little childish, I know, but I'm just being truthful! So, I got up and took the girls while he was still sleeping this morning. (He works nights.) But anyway,

    Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent Review

    You may or may not know this, but I am a Purex Insider and I have been chosen to try this new product: 

    Purex UltraPacks Liquid Laundry Detergent
    What are Purex UltraPacks? 
    They are convenient pre-dosed liquid laundry detergent packs, which look like this:

    • Each UltraPack contains 2x Concentrated liquid laundry detergent, giving each UltraPack double the cleaning power in ever drop.
    • Purex UltraPacks are formulated and safe for all machines, including high-efficiency (HE).
    • Purex UltraPacks dissolve quickly once the washer is started--even in cold water.



    Purex Ultrapacks liquid laundry detergent is available in 2 scents: 

    Mountain Breeze and Free & Clear.


    I have used this wonderful product for about a week now and I am in love! These convenient pre-dosed triple action liquid laundry detergent packs make doing laundry easy! No heavy bottles, No pouring, No spilling, I just add an UltraPack to my front loader before I put the clothes in, turn the washer on and that's it! My laundry comes out clean and smells so fresh! 

    My husband actually does most of our laundry and he was ecstatic about the convenience of the UltraPacks, but a little skeptical in thinking that the UltraPacks would dissolve and clean so well. He was pleasantly surprised at the results and so was I! 

    The new Purex UltraPacks Purex UltraPacks liquid laundry detergent is set to launch next month, February 2012, so you can try them out for yourself and Purex has been so generous to provide me with some very valuable coupons to give away to my readers!! 

    Leave a comment below telling me how this product would make the chore of doing laundry easier for you and you will be entered to win! You have until Friday January 6th at 12 p.m. to enter!! Good Luck! =)
