I ended the year by purchasing $41.51 worth of products for just $1.03 out of pocket. That’s a savings of 97.6%! Here is a list of what I was able to purchase in December:

Mach 3 Razor

5 Boxes of Instant Potatoes

3 Boxes of Pasta

2 Gillette Deodorants

1 Bottle of Bleach

1 Bottle of Nivea Body Wash

1 Package of Nail Files

3 Nail Clippers (I made $1 each time I “bought” these which helped my totals!)

1 Box of Hot Cocoa

2 Bottles of Carpet Fresh

Since I started keeping track of my food, toiletry and cleaning donations back in April I have been able to give $665.03 worth of items while paying just $29.97 out of pocket for it. That’s a savings of about 95%! I hope to continue this hobby in 2010 while giving even more through the use of coupons.
