Today went to Walmart & Walgreens

At Walmart bought a few things and a $10 toy for a birthday party my son is going to on Saturday. One of the deals I got was 30ct Halls cough drops for 0.18 per bag after 1.00 coupon.
Total was $37.44 and $28.44 after coupons - that's a 25% savings!

Then to Walgreens on way to work and this was the transaction:
Scunci 18pk $2
Fiber Choice 10ct $2.49
used $2RR & $2RR and paid $0.80
and rec'd $2 RR & $2.50 RR
NET $0.30 6% a 94% savings!

Not a bad if I say so myself.

Sick Kids

Ugh, I have two sick kids. So no shopping for me yesterday as planned. And I really wanted to make two more stops at Walgreens. I am really hoping that I can get one more in this afternoon but I am doubtful about it happening. My son started off with a bad cough on Wednesday and woke up with a fever Thursday and then Thursday night the baby got a high fever and now she has a cough too. So wish me luck that they are both on the mend and it doesn't spread to anyone else.

Free Pantyhose @ Walmart

Today I made a quick trip to Walmart to get some fabric to recover my daughter's windowseat and while there I made a cool discovery. I had a few of the No Nonsense 1.00/1 coupons, and while looking through the products saw that they carry a single pack for $1.00. So Free Pantyhose!!!!

Target Deals

This week I was able to get some good deals at Target!

I haven't been to Target for quite awhile so I had to go check out their clearance section. I was able to find a pair of cool tennis shoes for my daughter for $3.74 and a long sleeved t-shirt for my son for $2.48. I had also printed off some coupons from their site before I left and here are some great grocery deals:
Market Pantry fruit snacks $1.54 - 1.00 = .54 per box
Cheetos 4oz bags $1.29 - 1.00 = .29 per bag
Market Pantry artisan bread demi 0.97 -1.00 = free
Dole pre-cut salad 1.54 marked down to 1.00 - 1.00 = free

Some of the coupons expire 4/11 and some 4/25, so I am hoping to have time to go back this week. They also should have new coupons on their site today, but I haven't checked yet.

More good Walgreens deals

Last week at Walgreens I got 5 Edge shave gels and 5 Chapstick naturals for FREE!
The deal is you buy them and get a register reward for the amount back. You can only do one of each per transaction. I believe the edge will go for three more weeks, but the chapstick was just last week.

Dove Walgreens Deal ~~~ .02 Soap

This week's great Walgreens deal is on Dove products. Dove is on sale 25% off this week, and all month long they have a Register Rewards deal buy 8, get $10 RR.

So yesterday I got bars of soap for only the tax.
The single bars of Dove soap are on sale for $1.19
8 @ 1.19 = $9.54 + tax = $10.19 and got a $10 RR
so paid .19 for 8 bars of soap!!!!

Needless to say I will go back again to get some more, hope they have more.
Gotta keep the RR's rolling.

My Huggies totals

Well as I suspected, I wasn't able to get all the diapers I wanted but I am still happy with what I got. And I am very excited to share my totals with everyone.

Transaction 1:
3 Huggies @ $10 - 3 $5 coupons = $15 paid and rec'd $10 RR

Transaction 2:
3 Huggies @ $10 - 3 $3 coupons = $21 paid and rec'd $10 RR

Transaction 3:
3 Huggies @$10 - 2 $3 & 1 $5 coupon = $19 paid and rec'd $10 RR

Total paid for 9 packages $55 - $30 RR - 6.75 rebate = $18.25 or $2.03 per package!!!!!

I am so bummed that this Walgreens deal is over now. But we can hope they have some good deals for next week.

Sweet deal on Huggies at Walgreens!!

For any one with little ones you can appreciate this deal.

This week Walgreens has Huggies jumbo packs on sale for $10.
Coupons.com has Huggies $5 and $3 coupons available for printing. I was able to print 12 using my home and work computers. Walgreens is also offering a $10 register reward deal when you buy $25 or more of huggies diapers.

So, this is what I plan to do if my Walgreens has enough diapers: make 4 transactions

2 transactions will be:
3 Huggies @$10 - 3 $5 coupons = $15 paid and get a $10 RR back

2 transactions will be
3 Huggies @$10 - 3 $3 coupons = $21 paid and get a $10 RR back

It's like getting 12 jumbo packs for $32 ($2.67 each)
plus then I can send away for a 0.75 rebate on each pack making them less than $2 per pack!!!!

I suggest you run, not walk to your local Walgreens.

Beautiful February Day

Wow, today was such a beautiful day for February in Iowa. It got to 40' today. There was a lot of melting going on out there today. I am still really busy doing taxes but I had to take advantage of this weather a little. So Cole and I went to the store and got a few groceries that were on sale and then we washed the car before we came home. It was so great not having to bundle up!

Now I am getting ready to watch the Budweiser Shoot-out. I am a huge NASCAR fan, and love those Hendrick teams. Go Jeff, Jimmy, Jr and Mark!!!
