Do you buy refills for these soap dispensers!

Im sure Lysol would prefer we buy the refills for these but I find they cost more than other soap refills. So I thought I would see if I popped the top off if it would still work without spilling and it does. Im not sure if it will work over and over but in the meantime I can use it and wait for a sale.

I think lysol should make the bottle refillable. It would be better on the enviroment. Any thoughts?

Grocery tracker Update!

So my link to grocery alerts coupon tracker won't seem to update for me so I had to do it manually. I didn't find to many deals today.
The best was at SDM the Royal facial tissue was on sale for $2.99 with $2.00 coupon $.99 for 6 boxes. For some reason they were ringing in at $3.49 and $1.49 weird I got them from the same spot just different color boxes. Nice deal though I bought 18 boxes of facial tissue and a dozen eggs paid $3.31
.
Best deal I found at Safeway was Red Hot $2.50 a bottle used $1.00 coupon = $1.50.

Total money spent on groceries today was $64.71. Total spent since Jan1/12 $609.46. Total saved using coupons since Jan1/12 $357.11.

Total saved on cigs to date since Jan 17/12 $107.93.

Will do a little more shopping through the week still would like to go to Sobeys and NoFrills.
Thats it!
