I have not been able to resist the Amazon4-for-3 promotionrecently, so I wanted to share it with you!  Currently there are hundreds of thousands of items on sale at Amazon that can be mixed & matched so that you buy 4 and only pay for 3.  This includes not only books but home & garden items like kitchen utensils, bakeware, glassware, dinnerware, craft items, vacuums and other cleaning items – the list,like I said, literally has hundreds of thousands of items on it!  I’ve ordered two sets of books and items from this offer recently for Sophie’s upcoming birthday.  And I currently have my cart filled with 4 more books. I can’t stop!! Even better, if you sign up for Amazon Mom(which is free), you get free shipping w/ Amazon Prime for 3 months! So you can get some awesome deals! (You can also get big discounts on diapers and wipes thru Amazon Mom, but I’m pretty much just using it for the free 2-day shipping right now!)  I’ve been redeeming my Swagbucks for $5 Amazon gift cards also which I’ve been using on this promo.  It comes out to a LOT of freebies (so sign up for Swagbucks if you haven’t already to start earning bucks to redeem!)

Hope you have fun shopping this promotion! I sure have!  What did you get??

I know I am a giant nerd, but the simple deals I got at Rite Aid and CVS today make me so happy!  I love making money shopping or getting stuff we need for really cheap.  Here’s what  I got today!

First, CVS:

Two 20-packs of Duracell batteries $9.99 each = $19.98
CVS brand crakers $1.50
Total = $21.48

coupons:
-$4/$20 CVS email coupon (I got this last week but didn’t use it, luckily my CVS takes expired CVS q’s for 30 days!)
-$.75 Duracell from 10/10 P&G
-$10 ECB
= $6.73 + $1.01 in tax =$7.74 and I got back 6 ECB! 5 for the Duracell and 1 for using my Green bag tag 4 times! Woot! Since we have trouble keeping up with batteries (even w/ rechargeables) this was a GREAT deal for me! Can’t wait to see what coupons are in the battery packages, too!

Next up was Rite Aid:

Huggies diapers $8.99
Aveeno shampoo $5.99
Nivea body lotion $5.99
total = $20.97

coupons:
-$4/$20 Rite Aid video values printable
-$4 Rite Aid video values Aveeno printable
-$1 Aveeno printable from coupons.com
-$1 any non-prescription purchase Rite Aid video values printable
-$2 Huggies diapers printable from coupons.com
-$2 Huggies Rite Aid video values printable
= $6.97 + 90 cents tax = $7.87 and I got back 8 +UP rewards! 2 for the Huggies, 1 for the Aveeno, and 5 for the Nivea! So, a profit of 13 cents for that! I LOVE getting a profit on diapers!!

So that’s the fun I had at the drugstores today! What did YOU get??

Today I went on a search for washable dry-erase markers at Office Depot. Before I left the house I signed up w/my email on their website to get a $10 off $20 purchase coupon – wow – and of course checked online to make sure they sold washable dry erase markers in stores (Sophie has recently ruined 3 shirts w/ dry erase markers and not even my trusty Tide or Frigidaire machines could rescue them!) I saw the above marker board listed for $9.49, but I didn’t really need a marker board, so I was just going to buy a 6-pack of the wider-tip washable dry erase markers for $10.49 (they were actually $10.99 in store) and then find something else $10-ish to get me up to $20 to use my coupon. Which was fine with me, because we use dry erase markers every day and that was a decent enough deal w/ coupon.

*BUT THEN* at the store, they had the dry-erase boards with the 6-packs of markers attached for FOUR DOLLARS!! $4!?!? Why? I have no idea! They were on an endcap display. I checked over and over again to make sure I wasn’t seeing things! The fine-tip markers were also $10.99 by themselves but yet they were $4 when packaged WITH A MARKER BOARD!?

Um, yeah, I didn’t have to think about that one too long!

I snagged five of the boards, each w/ six markers, used my $10/$20 coupon, and walked out the door 5 marker boards and 30 washable dry-erase markers richer for $10.65 including tax.

What a great surprise! I have no idea how long this price will be good, but if you need either a marker board or some dry-erase markers, go check it out! The marker board is double-sided with lines on the other side so it’s great to practice handwriting, too!
