Ziplocs, Ziplocs, Get Your Ziplocs Here!


I told you about the BOGO deal at Rite Aid on the Ziploc bags last week. There was also a BOGO coupon for the bags. The coupon only took off $2.19, so not quite completely free, but very close to it! My coupons I ordered from eBay came in on Saturday before the sale ended, so I had to drag myself out that evening and try to find enough bags in the stores around my house. I had to fight in almost every store I went to about the BOGO sale and the BOGO coupon, which is par for the course it seems with Rite Aid, even though their policy clearly states that it's okay to use the coupon with such a sale. I finally found enough after 4 stores and I was TIRED. That's a lot of Ziploc bags and a lot of arguing to get them. Whew!


Total Before Coupons: $139.28
Total Money Spent: $25.67
Total Saved: $113.61 (82%)

$1 Flip Flops?


Did anyone get in on the 41 flip flops at Old Navy last weekend? We went past there, but I'm afraid it was one of those deals that just wasn't good enough for me to stand in the line for, especially with all of the kids and not feeling well. Some deals just don't make the cut and this was one of them. Russ took a picture of the line, but keep in mind that the line went MUCH farther than the picture shows.

Thanks For Asking...


Thanks to my dear readers for asking about me and wondering about my absence this week. I've felt less than well this week and to be honest, it's been a challenge just to get up and take care of my family. The doctors are still not a lot closer to deciding what I have wrong with me and all I know is that I hurt. All of my joints hurt and they literally "lock up" to the point where it's difficult to get around. This is very hard to deal with from someone who is so independent. So, we have been making the best of things. Russ has been great with helping out where needed and letting me rest. We just have to continue to move forward in trying to find to find out what's wrong. Thank you again for everyone's concern, and I promise to post deals as I can!

Another Awesome Target Trip


I went to Target last night and managed to get in and out with everything I needed in less than 15 minutes. The kids and Russ were waiting for me in the truck and the oldest was screaming loud enough for the entire parking lot to hear, so I had to hurry! I knew exactly what I needed though- dressing, dressing and then more dressing and some MEAT to go with it! LOL Here's how it turned out after she missed $4 of my coupons!


Total Before Coupons: $95.54
Total Money Spent: $18.24
Total Saved: $77.30 (81%)

Anyone Need Dishwashing Tabs?


I made a trip to Kroger last week before the Electrasol coupon expired to use up what coupons I had left. The funny part about it is, I don't even have a dishwasher! I plan to sell these at our yard sale that we will be having soon. I figure someone will be getting an excellant deal! Here's what we ended up with:


Total Before Coupons: $137.36
Total Money Spent: $27.55
Total Saved: $109.81 (84%)

Tackling Target


I decided to take #1 son with me on my shopping runs this past weekend. I quickly remembered why I usually leave him (and the others) at home when I go shopping. He was actually well behaved, as well as can be expected from a child like Seth, but every store turns into a new place for a "treat." He thinks that just because we have graced the doors of a new building that it qualifies for a new behavior reward. His "treats" quickly eat into my spend/save ratio. All that aside, we actually did okay at Target this week. Here's the math:


Total Before Coupons: $58.01
Total Money Spent: $8.95
Total Saved: $49.06 (85%)

Walgreens Take 2


Okay, so I went back to Walgreens on Sunday to take advantage of a FEW of the deals. To me, the deals weren't all that great this week, but there were a couple that we could use and were low enough oop that I could justify them. My rationalization was that I could buy a couple of the RR producing items and then buy the other items I wanted and use the RR's to pay, thus leaving little oop expense. Makes sense, right? Well, it would unless you have a Walgreens cashier on your hands. Sheesh. Anyway, story goes like this, I put some of my items on the counter (RR producing items) ring them up, check out. Easy enough. Ring second batch of items, hand over my coupons, mass confusion ensues. From what I can tell from my receipts, when prompted for an amount on my B3G1 mac and cheese coupons, instead of putting in $1.59 for each of them , he put $6.00!!!! What?!? Is that mac and cheese plated in GOLD?!? Anyway, when he got finished scanning everything, the register said that he owed me a refund of $1.45. I told him there was no way that it could be right. He insisted it was, and that "sometimes that just happens with coupons." Oh, my. I spoke to the manager afterwards to try and correct it and he told me to keep it for my trouble. I really just think he didn't want to be bothered with it to be honest. Anyway, I came out a lot cheaper on this trip than I anticipated. Here's the math:


Total Before Coupons: $61.08
Total Money Spent: $12.22
Total Saved: $48.86 (80%)


*Plus I still have $8.50 in Register Rewards left to spend from this trip.*

Walgreens Wipe Out


I went to Walgreens this weekend (twice) to get in on a few of the deals. I went on Saturday to stock up on a few more of the diapers while they were still on sale BOGO and I could use the pharmacy coupon making them $2.50 per package. Not to mention, I still had some gift cards to use up from rebates I had done, so I figured no time like the present! I picked up 6 more packages- here's the math:


Total Before Coupons: $49.14
Total Money Spent: $14.17 (on gift card-no money oop)
Total Saved: $49.14 (100%) WooHoo!
