Check your local pet stores because they are always marking down dog and cat food (fish food too, but I had enough of fish after the flood…) – use your coupons and it’s lottery time! I got everything you see in the picture for $25 and change. Do what I do: When I’m about to hit the pet shops, I first click the Find A Coupon page and type in Dog or Cat food. ALL items come up. Grab the appropriate inserts and hit the stores. Or, if you just happen to stop in and see a nice large assortment, check the page for coupons, then get thee home and clip, clip, clip. Laugh, but the Eukanuba alone was originally $36 with loyalty card – – $10 on clearance!

Then stopped at another Target (63rd in Woodridge) where the Aquafresh pump toothpaste was only $2.04!  Grabbed another 10 boxes of hair color, 5 shampoos and six toothpastes along with two bags of free Starbucks coffee grounds for the garden.
