Victory at Walgreens!

Today at Walgreens the hubby got to participate in all the savings. He purchased most of the items, used the coupons, saw the total dwindle to mere pennies, and best of all most of the goodies were for him!
Anyone still pay retail for the Fusion ProGlides? My hubby absolutely loves them, and since they're basically $0.99 - $2.99ea every few weeks I can coming my coupons with the sales and get them from free with my Xtra Bucks, Register Rewards, or Up Rewards. Quick tip: It's way cheaper to buy the razor than the cartridges.

Because of Walgreens' strict coupon policy, I had to practically pay for every item separately. Took some time, but was worth the savings. I'll stick with an estimate, bc truthfully I have no desire to dig through all those receipts!


4 Gilette Fusion Razors
Sale $9.99
Mfc -$4.00
RR -$3.00
Total $2.99ea
2 Old Spice Bodywash (not pictures)
Reg approx $5.00
Mfc bogo deodorant free
2 Old Spice deodorants
Free
Total
Around $22.00
RR Used (well a whole lot!)
Final cost was a couple of dollars




















Also purchased was...
2 Baby Magic
Free
1 Poligrip
Free
1 Motrin PM
Free
2 Nivea Lip care
Free
Colgate Total
Free
FREE!!!

How is that possible? Each of these items cost somewhere in the vicinity of $3ea and all earned their total value back in RR...which I of course turned around and used on the first transaction!

Good deals on laundry supplies this week!

Big time savings at CVS today!

All the inserts I can get my hands on..sorted..and cut..then filed away in my binder!
SmartSource and P&G are the inserts this week. P&G is my fav and is loaded with great deals on Tide and diapers!


Just a few of the inserts I sorted through this morning. Olivia enjoyed helping me cut, and Noaa enjoyed laying beside me on fresh newspaper :)

Introducing....my stockpile!

I coupon to save money... and I save money by stockpiling. Think about it. If I can catch Suave deodorant on sale for less than a quarter, then I had better be using multiple coupons to stock up! Stocking up eliminates that uncomfy feeling of finding yourself stuck in the potty with no toilet paper in the house.
I have been couponing for a while, but the stockpiling just began a bit over a month ago. My first item was Pantene mousse.. I go through about a can a week with these lovely locks, so it made sense to stock up like mad when I found them on sale and used coupons to get them for less than 50 cents each. Any other Pantene girls out there? Those bottles will run you anywhere from $3.75-$5.15.
The easiset and cheapest items to accumulate are the soaps, lotions, shampoos, deodorants, and toothpastes. In fact, I have to stop myself. I really don't need anymore soap.
Laundry detergent and toilet paper takes me a bit more time, but I'm doing a lot better than I was 2 months ago!
I love the groceries stores in my area. Every one of them doubles coupons up to $0.99! This has allowed me to stock up on Peanut butter, pasta sauces, cereals, and popcorn for pennies! The skippy and pasta sauces were the biggest deals at $0.11 each after coupons. And my popcorn was about $0.30 each after Giants doubled my coupons while it was on sale!

Today was a lot of fun. My thrifty spending has made it possible to buy two shelves to start our stockpile on! Prior to tonight my kitchen cabinets have been overflowing. And there is nothing more agravating than your pre schoolers finding the stocked up peanut butter and eating from every container with a spoon. Seeing all the Cheerio's boxes opened hasn't been a picnic either.

So here is what I have so far... Looking forward to building on it, especially in the grocery department, and donating the excess to my favorite causes.

$75 of dining for me and the family tonight! Final bill - $6 plus the tip!

How the heck did I score this big of a deal?
Go to restaurants.com. Select from participating restaurants in your area or in a town you plan to visit. Choose the amount you think you will need, and at checkout type in DINE for the promo code. The balance of the account will adjust to 80% off the amount of the certificate!
Keep your eyes open on the minimum purchase needed to use the certificate though. If you buy a $25 certificate but the min purchase is $50, then be aware that'll be $25 out of your pocket at the restaurant.

To my college friends - the Jeffersons in Oxford has this deal going!

Thanks to http://freebies2deals.com/ for the heads up!

Found a jewel in the middle of Dumfries....

Decided to head North about 6 miles this time to the little town of Dumfries, where I hoped to find more J&J products at the local Rite Aid. You know how you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover? Well, I totally did. Pulled up into the park lot and though, eh.. this doesn't look like too nice of a store. It's in a somewhat run down shopping center and is definitely older than what I am used to seeing now a days with all the chains building brand new stores.
Nonetheless I went in with my coupon book and wandered to the baby aisle. Found exactly what I needed, but didn't want to wipe the shelf clean of the Johnson Naturals. The store manager happened to be standing beside me and said he could order more for me. The truck comes in every Saturday! Every Saturday? The one in Stafford only gets a truck twice a month. Turns out this is a super busy store with a super nice manager. He ordered 8 more for me before I checked out...which brings me to my transactions!

Of course no one person needs this many J&J products, so the bulk of it will be donated to young E1-E3 familes and aside from what my kids will use, the rest I plan to send to a coupols of very special pregnant ladies :)

I love the possibilities with couponing!

Rite Aid Deals!

My trip to Rite Aid was a bit rough today. Mainly because the girls were with me, and of course running all over the place.
I was able to score some great deals, but I didn't tons of transactions and use UP rewards back to back simply because the kids were driving me... well crazy.



















Transaction 1
2 Xtra Laundry Detergents
Reg: $3.49ea
Sale: $1.97ea

-$3.00 (from RG body was)
-$1.00 (from Halls cough drops)
-$2.00 (from J&J baby wash)

Total Paid: $0.44
Total Saved:$10.00

This transaction was supposed to put me over $100 worth of items spent that qualified for the Winter Rewards. Spend that amount and receive a $20Up. I did some research and it appears the card number used on my transactions today was incorrect. I received the discountes rates, but it started my Winter Rewards all over. Thus, I will be contacting the store tomorrow to see if I can merge those accounts or if I should simply return all items and re-do the transaction.

Semperfimommy wants her $20Ups! Rah! :)

Craigslist Junkie

Some people go antiquing, others can't stay out of the pawn shop... I can't seem to go a day without browsing Craigslist. If you haven't explored the best way to buy and sell used items, you're missing out! I love getting rid of items we no longer need without the hassle of a yard sale.
Today I managed to bring home a 6 drawer dresser for the kids clothes. $10!
Now to convince the hubby to help me haul it upstairs!

Success at Walgreens!

Finally had a good run at Walgreens! We were stuck in Woodbridge today due to a huge fire on I-95, so we piddled around Walgreens and went out for pizza.

Late night run for Gatorade..always an opportunity to score a good deal!

Had to make a late night run for gatorade. My poor little girl is sick, and we're keeping her hydrated with plenty of electrolytes. Giants had them on sale 10 for $10 on the 64oz bottles. I suppose that's a decent deal, but it hurt not to have coupons for the purchase!

Skipped over to CVS and gathered up some good deals. The manager and I know each other on a first name basis now, so we enjoyed a little chat. He also gave me a heads up of a sale this weekend. 75% off all Valentine's.. woohoo! Time to stock up for next year!

I'm too lazy to take a picture tonight, so you'll just have to trust me on this one ;)

Here's how the trip went.

2 Xtra Laundry Detergents
Sale: $1.88ea
2 Colgate Wisps 4pk
Sale: $1.94ea

Walgreens and I simply do not get along

I've tried my hardest, but it seems I can never walk away from Walgreens feeling nearly as accomplished as I do at CVS and Rite-Aid. They're a bit more strict on their coupon rules. And the Register Rewards you are able to gain, aren't as easily spent when purchasing multiple items of the same thing.
Here's how I did today.

Don't be a shelf clearer! Now's the time to special order!

I like to preview all the drugstore circulars a week or so ahead of time. I can prepare my coupns and really save up on items when they're at their lowest cost.

Starting Sunday, Walgreens will have their Lysol no touch Soap dispensers on sale for $4.99! Pair that with the $3 off Mfc coupon in Sunday's paper, and I'll leave with a great deal of $1.99! I love that I have some Register Rewards left over, so hopefully there will be no out of pocket expense.

Usually items like these get swiped pretty fast. A good way to get what you want at the sale price, esp if you plan to buy a lot, is to special order. Call or visit the manager, and order the number of items you need! Basically you're odering a shipment of supplies and having it sent to your store! Pay when you pick up.

Managers and sales clerks are a lot happier for you and your Krazy savings, when you don't clear a shelf and leave other customers with nothing :)

At $2.99 each, drop the modesty and stock up!

This morning when I logged into one of my favorite coupon sites, I noticed a special Valentine deal on a year round treat! I could be arrested for withholding information so good!

K-Y Yours + Mine 3 oz for $2.99 at Target!(Reg: $24.99)

Alright.. wipe the smirk off your face and get a grip. I've seen FaceBook statuses more risque than a little bottle of liquid on the Tampax aisle.
Not that most of you need to be directed to the deal. Unless you've been hiding under a rock, everyone has cut the corner of that aisle and somehow managed to keep walking straight with one eye peeled to the goodies.

So with Valentine's weekend a mere week away, grab your partner (or yourself..hey, no one's judging) and doe-si-doe down to Target and cash in on this steal of a deal. Heck, stock up while it's cheap! Purchase a few for your friends. It makes an excellent wedding gift ;)

The best coupon ($7 off) can be found on FB. Just follow the link and "like" the page to print it. Unlike it when it's all over if you wish.
In the mean time, enjoy seeing your entire friend list flock to the page!

Whoe! Relax! Get the kids out of the car and go back to the dinner table.
Sale starts tomorrow

Quick finds at Target

Dropped the family off at the gym this evening, and since my foot is still broken, I decided to mosey on over to Target with my coupon book and see what kind of deals I could snag.
I rarely shop at Target, so I'm not as familiar with their offers, but nonetheless I think I came out fairly well.
I was stopped in the aisle by another coupon shopper who was impressed that I too carried a 3 ring binder in the child seat of the buggy! We shared a "fist bump" and moved on.

Feb 1, I purchased 2 Crest 360 toothbrushes that were bygo free, however the cost of one was a $7.85, and me being Krazy and all.. well I just couldn't stand the expense. So, upon returning the items and the cash back into my pocket, I scoured the aisle for two items I was on the prowl for. Here's how I did!

Rite Aid trip

I've been to Rite Aid perhaps 3 times in my lifetime. So, after reading about all the success people were having from www.thekrazycouponlady.com, I decided to give it a go. Sifted through their sales paper, and read about deals others were getting, and of course clipped all my necessary coupons first.
Not a bad trip for my first run, but I'm bugged by the thought that I could have done better. Could have been a bit smoother too. Since the cashier was a newbie as well, it took 30 minutes to check out.
