Wet Ones at Rite Aid 1/2

 Here is a coupon for $1 off of Wet Ones. They are $1.99 at Rite Aid next week, with a $1 Up, making them free after coupon and UP

Wet Ones

Extreme couponing on TLC

I've already had several people ask what I think. Well, to tell the truth, I didn't watch. I had already been warned about it. Here is what I think:

I stockpile. I coupon a LOT. I have gone to recycle bins to get extra coupons. I do not find anything wrong with any of that. Do I have a warehouse full of stuff? No. Do I constantly clear shelves? No. (in fact, if you remember the Aqua Pod fiasco, you remember I was quite vocal about NOT clearing shelves) So I buy more than I can personally use? Often.

With my stockpile, a lot of times I give away, sell, or gift things. There is always a table at my yard sales with new items. If things come up where organizations or people need donations, I do so. I make gift baskets for people I know for Christmas. I don't have a billion things sitting around until they go bad. I have posted pics of my regular stockpiles before. I do not have it stuffed in every corner of my home.

I personally feel that TLC did not want to put people on who do that. I don't think they were looking for people who stockpile for short periods, who work to save money on their bills, etc. I think they were looking for shock value tv. They were looking for people who are out of control. That is not me, and it's not what I want for you.

I have 3 growing sons, and we go through a lot of things. My stockpile helps with that, and it helps me save enough money on our grocery bills that we can afford to do other, nice things. Everyone needs to save money. You don't have to hoard everything on the planet to be a couponer. Do we recommend that you stockpile for 12 week cycles? Absolutely, if you can. (If you remember, I told you a lot of things are on sale in 12 week cycles) If you can't, it's not the end of the world.

Don't get sucked in to this show thinking that is what I am, what the other bloggers are, or what we are trying to get you to be. If you want to watch, great, but keep in mind that most couponers are not like that. You can save money and stockpile without going to an extreme.

I do want to add that one person I know was on the show, Nathan, donates a large portion of his hauls. I cannot speak for anyone else. I do not know him personally, but do know of a website he is affiliated with.

I hope you have a great shopping day!

Kroger

Kroger is having a 10 for $10 sale as well as a P&G sale. The P&G promo is buy 4 items, get $4 off instantly. I do not have my P&G insert (s) I just wasn't able to secure them this week. I will probably get a couple from my mother and grandfather.

Be SURE to check Kroger's site, Cellfire, and Shortcuts for additional coupons to add to your card.

Reminder

Check your grocery stores, Walmarts, Kmarts, etc for gift sets, candles, etc marked down that you can use your coupons on! Think outside the box! If your Gillette gift set has a razor in it, use your Gillette razor coupons. Glade candles in the "winter scents", Febreze, etc...all can use coupons. Just because it's on clearnace doesn't mean you can't use those coupons!

Kohl's Clearance

Kohl's is having a clearance sale! There is lots to choose from. Use code TWENTY4U to get another 20% off and if you have a Kohl's charge, use code SHIP2MVC for free shipping. You can use both codes.

Be sure to go through Ebates for 4% cash back

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

For those of you who aren't aware....

If your Walmart still has any Fusion Razor gift sets (someone cleaned ours out!-not me..lol) and they are half price like the rest of the holiday items, you can use your $4 Fusion coupon on them to get them for next to nothing! The same goes for the Olay gift sets, Old Spice, etc. Don't forget the Olay ones have a free Allure subscription on them, but if you don't want it, you can get a $10 REFUND! Read the print! Happy hunting!

FREE SOAP!!!

See that handy little button for Coupons.com on the left there? Click it, and print a $1 coupon for Coast soap. (and any others that might interest you). Take your coupon down to Kroger where Coast 2 packs are $1 each and you get FREE SOAP!

Cheap Cuponk Game at Target!

Go to Target.com and then store coupons (look under the " see more" tab). Print the $5/1 Cuponk coupon and take it to Target where they are on sale for just $7! This coupon was also in the store Toy catalog, and there is something about a $5 coupon when you buy 3 Hasbro games in one of the store ads. I am not sure if it is a catalina or not. Either way, that's a cheap Christmas gift!

New favorite product

I hope you can get this where you live. My new favorite product is Allegro Marinades. I use the Hickory Smoke one. I marinade my steaks, then grill them on a gas grill and they taste like they came from a charcoal grill. I love it!!!! You can find their products here as well as a locator. Try it out!



*I am in no way affiliated with Allegro, and they did not send me anything to make this blog post. :) This is completely my opinion.

yesterday's shopping trip

Ok, yesterday............was a long day. Like freakishly long. I had a bunch of UP rewards to spend, so first I went to Rite Aid. I got:

3 packs of Skittles, on sale for .50 each and used (3) .25 VV (video values) coupons= .75/3 (I think I also had a $1 coupon but I don't remember on how many- which would have been slight overage)
6 Alka Seltzer powders $5 each- (5) $3 coupons = $12/6
2 Samy Hair products, BOGOF $4.99/2, used (2) $2 VV coupons= .99/2
2 king sized Twix bars $1.59 BOGOF= $1.59
1 Pet rock (don't ask) $1.49
I also used a $5/$25 coupon
$1 VV (general) coupon
7 UP rewards

I paid $3.71 OOP and received $24 in UP rewards

***************************

1 Contact Cold and Flu $6.00

I received:
$1 RR for candle
$1 RR for Purex

shopping this week

It's been a little nutty this week with the kids home from school for fall break. I haven't done a ton, but I did get in on a few deals:

Walmart:

4 Kotex liners .94/each, used (2) $2/2 coupons= .24 overage
1 pkg Avery labels $4, used $5/1 coupon= $1.00 overage
Olay bar soap $2.48- $2 coupon (sent to me from someone) $.48
Garnier Herbashine Haircolor, clearance $3.50, used $3 coupon= .50

Walgreens:

1 Halls Refresh $1.00, got $1 RR
1 Noxema razors $3.99, used .75 coupon= $3.24, got back $3 RR
2 Nivea bodwashes for men $9, used (2) $1 coupons and 1 previous $3 RR= $4, got $4 RR (needed filler)

Then I took the $2 coupon out of the razors and did that deal again.


Rite Aid: Yep, I went.
Some of the Sinful nail polish was ringing up .99, some $1.99, although it was all marked $1.99. Nail polishes are BOGO1/2 off, so the .99 ones were ringing up one at .99 and one at .50, but you got back $1 in UP rewards for every one purchased. I bought several and received an UP for each one. I went back today, but I kind of screwed up.
I decided to buy the colors I wanted, clearance or not, and picked up 6. I also picked up 2 bags of M&M's Fun packs. (2/$4, with $1 UP back) I forgot one of the colors in the basket though. In the end, I bought 5, 2 M&M's. I used (2) $1 M&M coupons, and 7 $1 UPs, paid $1.55 OOP and got back 6 $1 UPS

Food Lion:
The best deal I got there this week were the Ronzoni Garden Delights pasta on sale for $1 each with the $1 blinkie in front of them. All were free.


Have a great shopping day!

Just go into your account settings and set everything to private if you are worried about that. :) Be sure when you do set up a Facebook, you like me here to get stuff posted on your wall.

Have a great shopping day!

Food Lion trip today

I love this BOGOF sale!!! I had a great time!

Here are some of the deals I got: (remember BOGOF rings each one up at 1/2 price)

First, I wanted to use my 2 $5/5 Kraft coupons, so I got:

4 Philly Cream cheese (the soft ones) .94 each =$3.76
2 Kraft cheese slices-$1.19 each= $2.38
4 bags shredded cheese $1.39 each= $5.56
Total: $11.70, used 2 $5 coupons, making all if it $1.70 :)

I also bought 5 Kraft macaroni and cheeses for .38 each. I had a coupon to get a free Capri Sun wyb a 5 pack, so I decided to try it with buying 5 seperate ones, since that was what was in a 5 pack and it worked. There is a deal to get $5 off of your order wyb 5 items: Capri Sun, Jif, Smuckers, etc. So I used the Capri sun toward that deal.

(If you have a $1 off Jif and Smuckers you can also use those coupons, but I didn't have it in my box)

I got 2 Jif ($2 each) 2 Smuckers jelly ($2 each) and 1 Capri-sun ($2.07/free with coupon) The total there was $8, got $5 off, so $3 for all of it

Planters Flavor Grove nuts are BOGOF, making them $1.74 each, and I used .75 coupons.

2 Cinnamon Toast Crunch (my 6 year old's favorite) $3.70 for both (BOGOF), used a $1/2 coupon, so $2.70 for both or $1.35 each.

Ritz Crackers 3 for $5.76 (BOGOF), and there was a tear pad to get $2 off of 3, so $3.76 for 3 or $1.25 each.

Kraft Miracle Whip $3.98/2 (BOGOF), used a $1/2 coupon, so $2.98 for both or $1.49 each

Cream of Wheat Cinnabon $3.79 (not BOGOF) Used $2 printed coupon I had. $1.79

Food Lion snack mix $2 (not BOGOF), used $1.10 FL coupon from tearpad $.90

3 Taco Bell dinner kits (BOGOF) $4.47, used (3) $ .75 coupons (on product)= $2.22/3 or .74 each

2 Ronzoni penne (BOGOF) $1.40/2, used $1/2 coupon= .40/2 or .20 each

2 Ronzoni spaghetti $1.12/2 (BOGOF) used $1/2 coupon = .12/2 or .06 each

Nilla Wafers BOGOF $1.59. Used a $1.00 off wyb Nilla and Jello gellatin or pudding. It was .99, so I'll just count it as free pudding. :)

2 Ore Ida fries $4.50/2, used a $1.00/2 Food Lion coupon, so $3.50/2 or $1.75 each

Kingsford Charcoal (our grill is gas, but we use this at picnics sometimes) $3.49 (BOGOF) Used $2.50 coupon, so .99

Perdue popcorn chicken $7.99, free coupon from SheSpeaks, so FREE

Also things I bought at BOGOF: green peppers, small carrots, boneless skinless chicken breasts, picnic ham

I did the Glade deal:

4 Glade candles, used 2 BOGOF coupons and 1 $1.50/2 coupon (The bogof coupons are getting a free one because I'm buying one, the other is off of the candle I'm buying to get the free one) This required a manager key, but it took. It's up to the cashier usually if you can use the other coupon, but most stores take them that way. Not all. Total: $6.08, get $3 off instantly, total $3.08, got back (2) $2 Catalinas, making it a .92 money maker.

(I also noticed 2 packs of scented oil are $4.99, buy 2 and use a BOGOF coupon, then the $3 will come off and you will pay $1.99 for 2 twin packs. No catalina, but cheap if you can use them)

I also did the biscuit deal again that I posted before.
6 small packs Pillsbury biscuits .69 each = $4.14, use (2) .75/3 coupons =$2.64, get back a $3 cat.

I also bought Louana canola oil $1.99-.50 coupon $1.49

After also buying a few other things I needed, the total was around $239 before MVP card, $139 after the mvp card, and my final total after coupons was $84.94. I got back $7 in catalinas, making my total after $ back $77.94 :)

I feel good about it! :)

Simple Card

I want to start off by saying that Simplecard.com sent me these cards to try and asked that I blogged about them. The opinions are my own.

So, I've ordered lots of custom cards. Simplecard.com offered me these postcards (a $19 value) to try, and I had never done postcards before, only greeting cards (greeting cards are $25- shipping included), so I thought I'd customize some to have on hand.

I REALLY like the quality. They are nice and thick, ready to mail, and the picture of my boys on the front is crystal clear. I was able to pick the font and have my name and address already on them. On one side (the part where you would write a greeting) I simply had printed: "Hello there! Just thinking of you and wanted to say hello!" That way, underneath, I can write a personalized greeting. On the other side is my name and address so I just have to stamp them and drop them in the mail.

I think I may use them in the future. The price is a little higher than I normally would pay, but I really am pleased with the quality and how quickly they came.

Short shopping trip yesterday

I hate to run some errands, so I blew into Walgreens.

I bought:

Emergen-C 10 pack for $3.49 (produced $3.50RR so FREE)
Vick's Sinex $6- used $4 coupon and it produced a $2 RR, so FREE
Charmin 6 pack double roll $2.99 with in-ad coupon, also used .50 coupon ($2.49)
3 activity pads (fillers $1/3)
2 Pantene Restore Beautiful Lengths shampoos. They were free, and here's how:

They are supposed to be on sale 2/$8 and get a $2 RR. They are ringing up BOGO50% off. ONLY the Restore Beautiful Lengths work for this deal. Use (2) $2 coupons from the Sept P&G insert. After sale and coupons, the total is $2 OOP, and you will get $2 RR back. FREE after RR!

I paid with last week's $1.50 and $5 RR, paid $5.65 (Tax included) OOP and got back $7.50 in RR

That makes me smile! Have a great shopping day!

How about free biscuits?

Pillsbury:

Pillsbury Refrigerated Baked Good Products (9/6 - 10/3): (Crescents, Cookies, Sweet rolls, Grand Biscuits, Grand Cinnamon Rolls, Pie Crusts, Dinner Roller,
Loaves, Bread Sticks or Pizza Crust)
Buy 4, get $1
Buy 5, get $2
Buy 6 or more, get $3 on your next order

Buy 6 for $4.14, use 2 $.75/3 coupons (my store even has these blinkies in front of them!!)
Total: $2.64, get back a $3 catalina.

I tried this today and it's working. :)

Coupon printing help

Some coupons print in IE and not FF and vice versa.
Look in your address bar for help!!

If your address bar looks like this (I erased the http:// to prevent a link):

bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wg&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

then the wg makes is a FF link

if it says

bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=ri3peuo59687503&bt=wi&o=53740&ci=1&c=GM&p=TyQrvJAY

then it is a IE link. (It may also say vi, so it wi doesn't work for you, try vi)

So, if you have FF and your link is IE, then simply change the wi to wg and try to print! It won't always work, but it will work a good percentage of the time. Only do this if you aren't having luck printing a coupon. You don't have to do it with every one.

**you can also use xs if you are using Safari
