disappointment

Well, I went back to Walgreens, got 2 more Nyquil bottles. Everything went fine.

Then I went to Food Lion. No Aquapods. Anywhere. Cashier said some woman came in and bought them ALL. Now, I have to tell you, when I was in there yesterday, there were TONS! I mean, everywhere. Now none. Guys, this is why I put on the bottom of my post about it to please not buy all of the water. Other people like to get in on these deals. I never, ever clear shelves, no matter how good I think the deal is. I may go back a few days in a row, but I try to give other people the opportunity to get in on the deals.

Please, please, please remember to treat others how you would like to be treated.

As for me, I hope they get in more soon. Maybe I'll actually do three deals next time. :P

Have a great shopping day.

What a day yesterday

I had such a good time shopping.

First, I went to Food Lion for water. I bought 6 packs. The first 3 for $3, got the coupon. Bought 3 more, got the coupon. FREE water! I may go "buy" some more today.

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

Then I went to Walgreens after hearing the Nyquil RR was rolling. This time I bought 2 SWIRL. In the ad, it says the swirl are excluded from the sale price. I did buy them, but they did not ring up $5 here. They were $5.99. (some people say theirs rang up at $5, but not here) The RR still printed. This is YMMV (your mileage may vary) because the RR SHOULD still print, but if it doesn't for some reason (machine problems, etc) they COULD use that as an excuse not to give it to you. Anyway, my trip went: (IVC is the coupon book in the store. They put one out every month. It stands for Instant Value Coupon, and you CAN use a manufacturer's coupon with it)

3 Dulcolax- 6.99 each = $20.97
2 Nyquil Swirl- 5.99 each =11.98
1 Colgate= 2.99
2 coloring books .29 each = .58 (fillers)

2 $8 Dulcolax coupons
1 $3 Dulcolax coupon
1 $1 Colgate coupon
1 $1.50 Nyquil coupon
Nyquil IVC $2 x 2= -$4
Dulcolax IVC $2 x 3 = -$6
1 $5 RR from previous Nyquil

subtotal .02
tax $2.19

got $5 RR and $2 RR

I may go back and get more Nyquil today, too. At least if we get sick, we'll sleep good.

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

After that trip, I went to Walmart. No huge new deals there, but I bought:

4 Gain dishwashing liquid .97 each, used $1 coupons ( free with .12 overage)
8 Yakisoba Japanese noodles .48 each, used .50 coupons (free with .16 overage)
2 Ragu $1.50 each, used $1/2 coupon ($1 each)
2 Old Hearth bagels $1.68 each, used $1 coupons (.68 each)
3 Kraft Macaroni Homestyle Deluxe dinners $2 each, used $1.50 coupons given to me by my friend Jennifer at jennifersikora.com (.50 each)
4 cans Alpo .67 each, used $1/4 coupons (.42 each)
1 Post it super sticky pad $1, used $1 coupon (free)
1 Greased Lightening cleaner $2.87, used $1.50 coupon ($1.37)
1 Immodium $2.97, used $2 coupon (.97)
1 Mr Clean magic eraser $1.96, used $1 coupon (.96)
1 Success brown rice $1.74, used $1 coupon (.74)
2 Glade solids (cones) $.98 each, used $1 coupons (free with .04 overage)

I also found a nice throw pillow for my sofa for $2.50 on clearance!!

It was a nice day for me all around.
I hope you have a great shopping day!

Free/cheap water at Food Lion!

Here's how it works:

Multi-packs of Aqua Pods water are $1 each. If you buy 3, you get a $3 catalina. These print after you pay. There was a $1/2 coupon in the 8/29 Smartsource insert. If you have the coupon:

Buy 3, pay $1.50, get back $3 cat, go back, buy 3 more, pay with the cat, etc.

Even if you don't, you spend $3 OOP and get $3 back..buy some more.

The only way you spend out of pocket after your first run is if you have tax in your state on it. (YAY KENTUCKY NO TAX ON FOOD!!)

****PLEASE**** don't take all of the water! Always leave some for others!!!
