Taking a Break for Lent

I am sorry to announce that I will be taking a break from couponing for the 40 days of Lent.  It has just taken up too much time and energy that I think would better be served taking care of my family and working on my degree.  No worries!  I will be back after Easter raring to go.  I will still use my coupon book to do regular grocery shopping for my family but spend no more than 15 minutes planning shopping trips.  I am also giving up cell phone games.  There are plenty of other couponing blogs and websites you can visit in my absence:

TotallyTarget.com
Passionforsavings.com
TheKrazyCouponLady.com
WildforWags.com
WildforCVS.com
CouponMom.com
Afullcup.com (reference me, kholan, if you're a new member!)

Remember, if you need a coupon database, there's one at howtoshopforfree.net and afullcup.com (members only).

Happy shopping! :)

Best in Beauty Rebate $15/$50

There's a great rebate going on right on the P&G beauty Facebook page.  Buy $50 of participating products and receive a $15 gift card rebate!  It will probably be like an AmEx or Visa gift card that you can use anywhere.  This can make a good deal even better, because it has to be $50 before coupons!  The dates for this rebate are 2/15/12 - 4/28/12, so that gives you a fair amount of time to find good deals to accompany this.  Remember you have to keep all your receipts and UPCs for each item purchased to qualify.  I never just go out and buy stuff to get a rebate.  It's only when the item goes on sale that I use a coupon, and if there's a rebate tied to it, that's even sweeter.  Sometimes the rebate itself makes it a good deal, but I would not recommend just going out and spending $50 to get $15 back, that's not what we do here.

Happy shopping! :)

Freebie Alert: Tylenol Precise



Freebie alert!  There is a $5 in this week's Red Plum (2/19).  It's only good for a week through 2/26, so hurry!  Farm Fresh has these on sale for $5.  Price match this at Walmart to get them for FREE!  I just got back from getting mine.  Really glad that I thought of this because I have been to Farm Fresh every day this week for Super Doubles and they haven't been in stock.  Don't know why I didn't think of it sooner!

Target trip today!!

Had to run to Target in the snow (I know, I'm obsessed...) because I found a great deal on KY and Jergens!  While there I found a steal on Almay eye makeup... Kicking myself for not keeping a binder.  If you're going to coupon at Target, you definitely need a binder!!  I also had to get some grocery things that I got with the gift card from trans 1.  Here's what I did:


Transaction 1:
(2) KY Yours+Mine 3 oz. $14.99 = $29.98
Buy 2 get $10 gift card
(2) -$7 facebook coupons
$2.99 each

Paid $16.93, got $10 gc

Transaction 2:
Pecans $4.84
Powdered Sugar $1.49
Marshmallows $1.87
Marshmallow shaker can $1.49 (we had to make Hoth cocoa [V-day present, yes, it's Star Wars!] because it was snowing today)
(3) Jergens lotion 12.5 oz. (ad says 10 oz. but these rang up at same price) $2.96
-$2 1/1 SS
$.96 each!  (Really great lotion deal)
Total: $19.20
After gc and coupons: $3.20


While there, I did some browsing to see what good deals I could find.  Since I didn't bring my binder (I have to admit, it's a little embarrassing!) I took pictures of the deals I thought had a coupon and then consulted my binder/internet.  Sure enough, this is what I found:
Almay intense i color on clearance for $2.38 - $2 1/1 SS = $.38!!!  Will definitely have to go back for those!

Also saw an Air Wick Freshmatic Ultra for $2.48.  Can't tell from the picture if it's the starter kit or not.  If it is, there's a $2 for that.  If it's just the device there's a $1 coupon.  Both are in the 1/29 SS.

Happy couponing! :)

On the way out, I saw gud products on clearance. I also went home and read my weekend ad and saw a deal for DIAPERS which I always do, so I spent a little more:

Huggies Supreme $7.97 - $2 - $1.50 ZVR = $4.47
Huggies Jumbo $7.97 - $1.50 - $1.50 ZVR = $4.97
Huggies Pure & Natural $7.97 - $1.50 - $1.50 ZVR = $4.97

Today's Trip: Harris Teeter and Walmart!


Here's what I got today.  I'll also be including a list of other great deals that I wasn't able to get today (printer issues).



Harris Teeter:
(6) Uncle Ben's Rice $1.67 - $.85/3 = $1.10 each
HT Vinegar $.67
Hillshire Farms Grilled Essentials $3.50 - $1 IP - $1 ZVR = $1.50
Kleenex Cool Touch $2.59 (should have been $1.29 BOGO... will have to go to CS, ugh!) - $.40 mailer DND5 - $.50 ZVR = Should have been free if doubled... Ended up paying $1.49, will have to go to CS for the $1.29...
(6) Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt 6 oz. $1 - $.75/3 blinkie DND9 = $.75 each
Sambazon juice (not pictured) $2.50 - $2 IP (from coupons.com, no longer available) = $.50
Activia 4-pk. $2 - $1 IP (Allyou.com, there's also one in the Feb All You) - $1 ZVR = FREE (The ZVR reloads!!!)

Total before coupons: $29.90
Total after coupons: $2.71, with $1.29 to get back from CS = $1.42
(Technically I should get another Kleenex free since it rang up incorrectly.  It pays to know!!!)



So, that was fun.  Then I went to Wal Mart because some coupons I had for FREE items were expiring today.  I did two transactions:

Transaction #1
1 KY Jelly $2.84 - $3 IP = $.16 MM
2 Reach floss cinnamon (mmm!) $.97 - $1 IP = $.03 MM
I paid $.02 after tax for these.

Transaction #2
3 Advil PM 20 ct. $4.36 - $1 = $3.36 x 3 = $10.08 - $10 MIR = $.08 for three!

An important thing to remember when doing rebates is to not have two things you are planning to use a MIR for on the same receipt since most require an original receipt.

So, here are my totals for today!
Total before coupons: $48
Total after coupons and MIR: $1.52

Wheeeeee!  That was fun. :)

Results: Harris Teeter and Farm Fresh!



Went to Harris Teeter and Farm Fresh today... had a BLAST!  Andy and I are eating healthier (Yay!) so I'm not getting a lot of the junk these days, even if it is a "good deal."  (Although when you consider healthcare costs down the road, the savings are negligible).  Here's the rundown:

Transaction 1:
Pampers big box $24.99 - $1.50 P&G - $1.50 ZVR = $21.99
Vicks Nature Fusion $5.99 - $3 P&G - $3 ZVR = $.01 MM
-$20 Credit
+ 5% tax $1.25 = $3.23

I did NOT get the cat for the $10 prepaid card... I went to CS but they told me it had to be $30 after coupons... Pretty sure this isn't the case (it never has been in the past), but I will wait to see if it works for others and then possibly call CS again or corporate.

Transaction 2:
Domino Light brown sugar 2lb. $2.35 - $.50 = $1.35
Cottonelle Moist Wipes $2.59 - $.75 cat (DND9) - $.50 ZVR = $1.34
3 Pampers Wipes $3.29 - $.50 - $.50 ZVR = $1.79 (ZVR only comes off once, other two were $2.29)
2 Dole Pineapple $1.15 - $.50/2 = $.65 each
Solo Plates BOGO $1.99 - $.75 = $.24
Carpet Fresh $1.69 - $1 = $.69
HT Kidney Beans (needed for recipe) = $.77
In Style magazine $3.99 - $2 coupons.com - $2 S* = FREE after SavingStar!
Earthbound Farms Organic Spring mix salad $3 - $1 in-store special (found this on the spring mix only and is stackable. See if your store has it!) - $.75 = $.50
Minute Steamers brown rice $1.25 - $.50 = $.25
HT Greek yogurt $1 (I had a $.75/3 cat, but turns out it was expired!  I got this anyway because I thought I should pay for something... :) )
-$20 credit from prescription
+ 5% sales tax $1.06
+2.5% sales tax $.27
Grand total: $2.41


Totals for Harris Teeter:
Total before coupons: $87.10
Total spent after coupons: $5.64

Then I went to Farm Fresh and got a lot of produce, but these are the things I used coupons on (not all things were on sale, some things we just needed!).  It's nice to take advantage of Farm Fresh doubling up to $1 on Wednesdays. :)

Glade Electric Warmer (I have had the scents forever because I got them for really cheap with coupons but I never had the warmer!) $3.69 - $1 = $1.69
Gerber 2nd Foods $1.12 - $1/4 = $2.48/4, or $.62 each
Pull-ups moist wipes $4.79 - $1 = $2.79
Orajel training toothpaste $3.99 - $1 = $1.99
Oral B toothbrush $3 - $.75 = $1.50

So no great deals... I didn't have the Activia coupon or I would have definitely gotten that.  Overrall, though, I saved $9.50 with coupons.  Not the biggest number but I have been scouting prices for these things (training toothpaste) and I know that I got the best price.  Plus, it's things we would have bought anyway that we needed that I had coupons for.

Happy shopping! :)
