Mommin' It Up!

August 23, 2010

Few things make me happier than FREE DIAPERS!

Yesterday afternoon I DID get out to Rite Aid! There are tons of deals there this week but the one I wanted most I couldn’t wait for. I hauled the kids to Rite Aid and got this:

For FREE! Free-99 baby! Here’s how it worked out:

Huggies $8.99

Pull-Ups $8.99

Kotex $3.50 each – $7

Reach floss clearance $1.49

total = $26.47

coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable from Red Plum.com

-$2 Huggies printable from coupons.com

-$2 Pull-Ups printable

-$2 Huggies Rite Aid video values printable

-$2 Pull-Ups Rite Aid video values printable

-$1 Reach printable

-$2 two Kotex coupons I one got w/ free samples, one from recent Smart Source insert

-$5 +UP rewards from last week’s deals

total= $5.47 + $1.50 tax = $6.97 and I got back 7 +UP rewards!! 3 for the Kotex and 2 each for the Huggies and Pull-Ups!! So my profit was 3 cents AND the Kotex counts toward another rebate I am working toward. 🙂

This momma is happy! More Rite Aid to come this week, hopefully! I want to get there one more time, sans kids.

What did YOU get??

Couponin’ It Up!

This was a week where once again, I two-timed CVS with Walgreens, something which, until LAST week, I hadn’t done for months! But seriously people, I CANNOT pass up practically free diapers! So here is what I got at Wags:

Three Huggies Supreme $10 each
1 Skippy peanut butter $3
Total = $33
Coupons:
Three $5 off Huggies printables
1 $8 RR from last week’s deals
Total with tax = $12.93
Got back 10 Register Rewards for the Huggies!

I used that RR and the 3.49 one I had from last week to buy the Splenda, grape jelly, orange juice, and milk and paid about $1.40 for all that! YAY!

Then I picked up some more Huggies for my friend and reader Gwen who broke her ankle recently. She was lamenting that she wouldn’t be able to get out of the house and get some cheap diapers, and I couldn’t let that happen! Because I??? LOVE my readers!!!

Next, I did of course go to CVS to get some sweet deals there as well. I needed some Garnier hair products to support my new penchant for wavy hair.

3 Garnier hair stylers $10
Palmolive $1.49
Schick Quattro $8.99
Crest $2.99
Batteries BOGO free $5.99
Total = 29.46
Coupons:
$5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (my CVS takes competitor q’s)
three $1 off Garnier manu q’s
three $2 off Garnier Walgreens q’s
$4 off Schick Walgreens q
$1 off Crest manu q
total = $10.46, but the cashier missed one of my $1 off q’s, don’t know which one, but I didn’t make a fuss. I paid with 10 ECB and paid $2.37 cash including tax and got back 13 ECB! Yippee!

Well that’s all for me this week! I am hoping to hit CVS one more time on Saturday to get some of their great trash bags which are on sale but we’ll see. Hope you all did great too!

The Stockpile Has Landed

I didn’t do ANY CVSing this week. Never darkened the door! There just weren’t any sales exciting enough to get me in the door. Shocking, I know. Hopefully this coming week will be better! I did, however, hit a super-awesome sale at Meijer! Here’s what I got:

It took me five transactions, but I got all of this – over $110 worth of groceries (at sale prices) for just $48.01! I got 24 boxes of Chex Mix/Fiber One bars, and at $2 apiece, those alone would have cost $48 without coupons. Every time you bought five boxes of these, you got a coupon back for $3.50 off your next order. I had coupons for $1 off (some that went to $1 when doubled) for all of these, so I’d pay $5, get $3.50 back, and then use that coupon to buy my next batch! On my last transaction I got 4 boxes, so I have a $2.50 coupon to use next time I go to Meijer. 🙂

I also got six boxes of cereal, five 6-packs of Yoplait kids yogurt, a bag of frozen chicken tenderloins, milk, pasta, frozen chicken nuggets, bananas, bread, five Lean Cuisines, Chex Mix, a fmaily size Hershey’s syrup (woot!), and two jars of Skippy peanut butter!

I haven’t had a haul this good in a long time, so I was really excited. Hope you all did great too! To see how everyone else did, check out Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom and Shopping Superstars at the Thirfty Mama.
