Quick Wags trip today. Awesome deals! I spent $.90 in cash, used $18.00 in RR, and got back $17.00 in RR. Woot! I definitely helps when you can find $.10 fillers--little buttons that are no good to us but that can be thrown in the garage sale. Plus 2 pairs of flip flops for the girls. Can't beat that!

Here is what you see:

2 packs of bandaids

2 Neo-to-go

2 Listerine kid's mouthwash

2 packs of M & M (my orders were negative twice so I quick grabbed those)

4 pins at $.10 each. great fillers!

2 pairs of flip flops at $.49 each. great time to pick up a couple of pairs. my girls live in these all summer long.

2 Colgate toothpastes

I spread this stuff out over 3 purchases. A little tedious with 4 kids with me but all went well. :)

Here are a couple of pics from yesterday and today when both Piper was sick and I was still feeling crummy. Ambry took this one of Piper and me laying on the couch downstairs.

Here is one of Piper holding Natalie's baby doll and sitting on the counter watching me make lunch. She couldn't leave my side today. She kept saying "Hold me, mama" over and over. Poor honey.
Here is one of her watching the kids play. Poor honey just wanted to lay down or be held all day. Hopefully she starts to feel more like herself tomorrow.

So apparently I do not have the advantage of being by a "nice" Walgreens! My purchases just never turn out how I want them too. Oh well. Here is what I got. I still did good, just not as well as I was hoping.

4. 3 boxes of Turtles on sale for $.99. This is where my purchase went wrong. They would only take one coupon and wouldn't mark down my others. I should have got all of these for free and instead paid $1.47 for 3 boxes. Oh well.

I paid $15.86 and used my gift card. I will get $10.00 back in MIR.

Transaction #2:

4 boxes of Turtles @ $.99 each. Used 2 $1.50 coupons from insert. Paid $.96 for 4 boxes.

Wow! It has been a week again since I have posted anything. I'd post more, but life here is not terribly busy or very exciting. Basically the same routine over and over and what fun is that? So in keeping with the same routine going on here for the last two weeks, here are some deals to be found this week.

CVS:

1. 7 boxes of Quaker oatmeal $2.50 each, use 7 $1.00 coupons from recent inserts
2. 1 box of Quaker granola bars $2.50, use $1.00 coupon from recent insert (get $5.00 ECB. Part of deal with Quaker--buy $20.00, get $5.00)
3. 10 Soy Joy bars $1.00 each, use 2 B1G1, 1 B2G1, $2.00/10, get $4.00 ECB Comes to $1.00 for all 10 bars after ECB's
4. Advil PM is on sale for $.99 Use $1.00 coupon from here
5. Bic Comfort 3 on sale for $4.99 with $4.00 ECB, use $2.00 coupon from last week's insert, profit of $1.01!
6. Nestle candy bags on sale for $1.50 (2 day sale only), I had a $2.00 off 3 and a $1.00 off 2 to use

I lucked out and got a $5.00 off $30.00 coupon this time which made this purchase even better. I ended up only being able to get the 7 boxes of oatmeal, 1 box of granola bars, 10 Soy Joy bars, 1 Advil PM, and 4 bags of candy. My store didn't get the Bic razors in yet. It came to $36.99, used $13.86 ECB's, paid $.14, and got back $9.00. Not too shabby.

The only thing I got at Walgreens was the L'Oreal Age stuff that is for free this month. It is $19.99. Use the $2.00 coupon, I think from 2 weeks ago insert, get back $19.99 MIR and make a profit of $2.00!

I did a lot better at Rite Aid. Here is what I got:

2. GE 6 outlet power strip $5.00 FAR
3. L'Oreal Age Perfect $15.99 FAR

12. M & M minis for Ambry $.88(she went shopping with me that day)

Everything came to $52.51 and I will get back $54.43 in MIR. A profit of $1.92. Yeah!

All in all, a good shopping day. I will be posting Meijer deals later today. There are some pretty good deals this week! There will also be new pics of the girls, since I haven't put up any new pics for a while.

Oh me, oh my...I LOVE CVS and Walgreens! I hit up both stores this afternoon with the girls and left feeling oh so very happy.

I split up the order into two transactions. Transaction #1:

2. 2 St. Ives lotions
3. 1 Garnier Fructis conditioner
4. 1 Colgate toothpaste

I used two .50 peelies from the St. Ives lotion bottles, .75 Colgate coupon, 1.00 Garnier coupon, $5.00/$15.00 CVS coupon, and 17.00 in ECB's. I paid .99 in cash and received back 18.96 in ECB's. Yeah!

2. 1 Venus razor
3. 2 Gillette skin care shaving gel

I used 2 1.00 Gillette shaving gel coupons (the product itself was on sale for .99 so these were free after coupons), 4.00 Venus razor coupon, 1.00 Garnier hair gel, 5 off 15 CVS coupon, and 4.99 in ECB's. I paid 1.45 in cash and received back 10.99 in ECB's!!! A very good deal.

So to conclude the CVS trip, I paid 2.44 in cash, used 21.99 ECB's, but got back 29.95 in ECB's! And got $43.48 worth of product! Excellent shopping excursion today. :)

Here is what I got at Walgreens:

4. 2 jane coverup sticks

13. 1 Sunsilk hair spray

I used 2 B1G1 Oral B toothbrush, 2 1.00 Sally Hansen, 2 2.00 Oust, 3 2.00 Jane, 1 B1G1 Windex, 2 B1G1 Trident along with 2 B1G1 Trident Walgreens, 2 B1G1 Russell Stover along with buy 3 for 1.00 Walgreens, 2 Sunsilk 2.50, 3 2.00 Sunsilk, 1.00 Sunsilk coupons...I think that is all. :) I paid $8.38 in cash! I will still get 4.00 back after MIR too. It was so cool looking at the end result of savings too. Before sales and coupons? Total was 81.30! Yeah!!!

So there are my deals that I have gotten so far. Caleb was even happy with this one. He really wanted some of that Lypsyl. So my deals even made him happy this week. :) Happy deal hunting to everyone this week!

I have a bunch of pics to put up of the girls last week from a little vacation that we took. Hopefully I will be able to put them up tomorrow. :)

All right, this is the second time I am going to be posting this. I accidentally deleted all of this the first time around. Hopefully I can do this post without any major accidents.

Here are my deals for the week so far. First stop was at Rite Aid where I bought:

1. 1 Lysol disinfectant spray
2. 1 Garnier conditioner
3. 1 4pk of lightbulbs
4. 1 Crest Pro Health toothpaste
5. 4 Jane makeup items
6. 1 2pk GUM toothbrushes

Total was $32.18. Jane makeup was B1G1 and I had $17.74 in coupons. Total OOP was $10.41. There is a mistake on my receipt though and I will have to go back to fix it. One of the Jane makeups did not ring up as B1G1 despite what the sign directly underneath it said. :( So I will still get $2.24 back in cash hopefully. Also I will get back $7.48 after mail in rebates. So total OOP of pocket after MIR will be $2.93, and hopefully after $2.24 back from Jane makeup mistake, total will be $.69! Yeah!
Second stop was at CVS where I bought:

1. 1 Schick Titanium razor
2. 1 3pk of Irish Spring Soap bars
3. 1 small Tresemme hair spray

Total was $12.48 after tax. I had $6.30 in coupons and used $5.29 in ECB's. I spent $.45 OOP and received $6.00 ECB.
Last stop was at Walgreens where I bought:

1. 2 6pks of Charmin
2. 1 Garnier hairspray
3. 4 boxes of Life cereal
4. 2 boxes of Celestial Seasonings Tea
5. 1 Excedrin migraine
6. 20 pks of seeds for my garden and flower beds

Total was $35.97 after tax. I had $10.46 in coupons and used $12.00 register rewards. Total OOP was $5.54. I will get $3.99 back after MIR and also fot $4.00 RR. I then turned around and used the RR's on 2 Crayola Color Wonders, 2 Hello Kitty dolls, and 1 bag of chocolate mints. I then spent $.48 OOP on that order. After all of that total cash OOP was $6.02. After MIR I will have spent $2.03 for everything. Yeah!
In conclusion... I spent $16.88. I still have $2.24 coming back in cash from Rite Aid and $11.47 after MIR. Total out of pocket once I receive the mail in rebates will be $3.17. And that $3.17 bought $80.63 worth of stuff.

Oh how I love getting good deals. And a huge part of knowing what is on sale is thanks to Money Saving Mom. If you don't read that blog, you should. Now. :) That is all for me tonight. Happy deal hunting this week!

12. family size Herbal Essence shampoo, reg. $6.99 on clearance for $3.00
    

Before coupons everything rang up to $52.51. After coupons my total came to $36.36(with tax). I had a Walgreens gift card from other purchases. My grand total out of pocket?

$.67!!!!! I don't know if you can count the gift card but I am...What I mean is that I put whatever rebates I get back on a gift card and I used that on this purchase. So maybe not quite as good a deal as I thought? I don't know. Either way I was extremely happy to only dish out $.67! I also got a mail in rebate for $4.00 back in register rewards that they couldn't print at the register for some reason. So I still have money coming back. Yeah!
On this trip to Meijer I got:

1. 4 boxes of Cheerios, reg. 3.19, on sale for $1.67 a piece
   
2. 2 grape jellys, reg. $2.09 on sale for $1.50 a piece
   
3. 3 loaves of Aunt Milly's bread, reg. $2.99, on sale buy 1 get 2 free
   
4. 2 Excedrin, reg. $4.88 on sale buy 1 get 1 free
   
5. 1 bag of carrots, reg. $1.50
   

Total out of pocket before coupons was $18.13. After coupons and tax my total was $9.48. Not too bad since 2 Excedrin regular price without coupons would have cost that much. The only thing I didn't have a coupon for was the carrots. Oh well. I needed some of those anyway.

So there are the deals I got today. I didn't think I did too bad. :) For others who do far better than I do on saving, check out this link to Super Savings Saturday.

All right. Here is what I ended up getting at Walgreens:

1. 3 tubes of Aquafresh toothpaste
2. 2 cans of Raid
3. 2 packs of Pledge wipes
4. 2 bottles of Lysol toilet bowl cleaner
5. 3 tube things of Lysol Sanitary wipes
6. 1 bottle of Shout
7. 1 Windex
8. Bubbles for Ambry

After coupons, I paid $29.11. Not quite as good as I was thinking. Apparently I need to work on my adding skills. I will get $7.00 back in rebate form though. So I will end up spending out of pocket $22.11. Not near as good a deal as I was thinking. Oh well. Live and learn. I guess for the amount of things I got, it wasn't a terrible deal.

At Rite Aid, I got these items:

1. 1 7UP 2 liter
2. 1 Lady's Speed Stick
3. 1 Duct tape
4. 1 Clairol Nice 'n Easy
5. 1 Colgate Total
6. 1 Garnier Fructis Conditioner
7. 1 2-pack GUM toothbrushes

After coupons, I paid $13.69. I enrolled in their online rebate form offer, which is so easy and the rebate will come back twice as fast. The only thing about Rite Aid that is different than Walgreens is that they won't let you use more coupons. What I am trying to say is that they won't let you make money basically on a product. Anyway, after I receive the rebate check from them, I should spend out of pocket $3.71. This was a little bit of a better deal at least.

For next time, I now have a better idea of prices of things. I think I will stick to Target for my cleaning supplies. It is still a better deal there with coupons and then I don't have to mess with any mail in rebates. Now I just need to get to CVS and see how their program works out.
