The trick is to not let people know how really weird you are until its too late for them to back out.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.comBlogger34125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-69636427873760224022011-05-29T04:22:00.001-05:002011-05-29T10:23:47.383-05:00Get Your Roll On (and I don't mean deodorant)<div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Pre-Event Dining</span></b></div>You gotta feed your couponing machine! Husband and I had a nice dinner out last night, we used my $20 Applebee's gift card from mother's day and only spent $15 (including tip)... I can't believe they charge so much for drinks! Our waitress appeared to be pretty young and was kinda dorky which my hubby thought was awesome. She was nice so we made sure to tip very well. The stuffed meatballs was really yummy if you're looking to try something new.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Event Planning</span></b></div><div>Next it was on to shopping, but first I had to come home and sort out the coupons and lists. It took me longer than I expected so we barely made it before midnight, and they were out of everything on my list and there was a HUGE line. No big deal, wasn't anything I couldn't live without so I started gathering the new weeks items and much to my disbelief they were already out of many of those as well. How could that be? The sale just started 5 minutes ago.... well turns out part of that huge line was people who got there early waiting for midnight. More great news, the store's order day got switched to Tuesday so they wont get more paper towels or Crackerfuls until then (so much for the 2 day sale, good job Walgreen's).</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Main Event</span></b></div><div>Turns out the register was having an issue and not printing the reward for the Crackerfuls, so while we all waited for that to sort itself out I met one of the other couponers "The Harrah's Lady", who turned out to be kinda new to couponing and really a sweet gal! We ran all over the store looking for some of the RR items that seemed to be non-existent and our popcorn filler items. Somewhere in there I managed to find more of the Crackerfuls, yay! I had so much fun talking to her about coupons and finding deals, and our husbands. My hubby always tries to help in his own way, but he is just not into the couponing thing and it was awesome to speak with a live human being about it who actually understood what I was saying. I also sort of met the one I call "Disappearing Lady", she seemed a little cranky (I was getting there myself after waiting so long for the registers to act right and fighting all the drunkies coming in from the casino for Pringles). She would be waiting at the register with us, then suddenly gone for 20 minutes, then magically reappear... she must be related to Houdini.</div><div><br />
</div><div>The Harrah's Lady and I spent about an hour searching for things in the store, gabbing, and waiting for the register to stop being stupid. Finally it started printing the rewards and thus began the longest checkout ever. The other 2 ladies had crackers (and other things) to return and repurchase and I had 9 separate transactions to get through. Did I mention the store was the busiest I have ever seen it in the middle of the night on a Saturday? I've been midnight shopping for a while now and I was shocked by the constant stream of people in the store. It took over an hour to complete my purchases, and my poor hubby was waiting the whole time, completely exhausted and wanting to go to bed. I bought him a candy bar as a little apology/thanks.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I do not think any of us would have made it out alive if it hadn't been for the awesome cashier, Katie! She is so incredibly patient and flexible which helps me keep my cool with all the craziness going on in the store. I wish she worked every Saturday overnight, but she certainly deserves her Saturdays off!</div><div><br />
</div><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">The Nitty Gritty</span></b></div><div><b>Its another great time to stock up on paper towels folks... if you can find them.</b> We spent a total of $9.31 and "saved" $82.28. Not too shabby! Since they ran out of Crackerfuls I ended up leaving with a $0.99 RR, which if I can find the darn crackers I will be using on them with my $1 coupon to get them free (and they come with a $2 RR)!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Check out the photo and shopping list I used to score all these great deals! I like to figure out a couple of transactions of things I want or need and any potential money makers and then I roll them until Im out of coupons. Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions and hopefully my list will help inspire you to get your roll on too!</div><div><br />

I ran by CVS over the weekend with my $17 in leftover ECB and scored 6 nail polish, 6 Sobe, 8 2L of soda, 3 bags of Tostitos, 2 bags Doritos, and 3 Tostitos dips for about $10 and I got a $10 gas card for FREE!<br />
<br />
There are lots of sweet deals, and maybe even a couple money makers at CVS this week. Check out the deals on <a href="http://www.savingmoneyinmissouri.com/category/cvs/">Clippin' with Carie</a>.<br />

You Don't Have Time To Coupon??<div>It's a sad excuse I hear so often, and I admit it was mine at first too. The past couple week's shopping trips, especially yesterday and today, should be a shining example of how much money you can save if you put in a little effort. It only takes one trip to get hooked, so what are you waiting for?</div><div><br />
</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>Walgreen's</b></span></div><div>Last night I ran by Walgreen's on my way home and here is what I picked up for <b>$3.33</b> (savings of $31.09). I started out with $3 RR from <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/05/twilight-shopping-when-vampires-sparkle.html">the other day</a> and used my coupon for FREE John Freida foam hair color and got $2 more in RR that I used with my coupon to pay only about $1 for the razor. Then I got the $5 RR for buying the razor that I used to pay for most of the toilet paper! Oh yeah, and I got another $3 RR to use later!</div><div><br />

</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"><b>CVS/Pharmacy</b></span></div><div>I originally had a much larger list, but a few of the items on it either weren't sold at my store or someone was really confused when they did the match up. Lucky for me I forgot to print my list so I took my laptop in with me and was able to move things around on the spreadsheet and make them work. For this trip I started out with $16 in ECB from various trips in April and my $5 off $25 coupon. I spent a <b>grand total of $0.55</b> and left with $17 in ECB! That's $101.76 in savings! Also on my receipt my YTD savings... $747.47.</div><div><br />

There were some awesome Register Rewards, but I just couldn't combine them in such a way that I felt was worth the money I would be spending. I must have written it out 10 different ways. I was determined not to miss out on another toilet paper deal so at 11:30 we drove like banshees to the 24 hour store. Luckily they were out of pretty much everything I wanted. Why is that lucky? Glad you asked.<br />
<br />
After I came home, I was utterly disappointed in missing out yet again on cheap toilet paper so I started looking around online for the next big deal. Much to my surprise the toilet paper deal was still on, and so was the Gillette razor deal, there were also a couple new deals on toothpaste and toothbrushes that made for a winning combination. Then, oh my goodness, there was free body wash... body wash that smells so good it makes me feel hungry. Awesome.<br />
<br />
I went to two different stores this morning, the first at <b><u>5 AM</u></b> (back to the 24 hour store - and no I didn't sleep last night), and then I made sure to get to the other store right as they opened at 7 so I could actually get some more of the body wash. I scored everything you see below for $25.92 and I saved $181.56!!! That's 88% savings!

In the end I think I did pretty well, however I will warn you that you may have issues at the Old 94/Muegge store using a B1G1 coupon with the B1G1 sale. My twit of a cashier refused to take my coupon so I had to pay retail *cringe* for one of my body washes, and then the body wash didn't ring up right, so he thought he would just use my coupon. I said "uh no, its already supposed to be buy one get one free so you are not using my coupon" and I snatched it back from him. Not one of my finer moments, but I really dislike being argued with and for some reason he kept hopping around like he had to go #1. LOL.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-11460371548221624722011-05-08T10:01:00.001-05:002011-05-08T11:12:28.343-05:00Letting Husband Do The CookingI've been busy trying to stock up on juice and protein bars and protein shakes, I realized that when Im on a liquid or mostly liquid diet I am not going to feel like cooking food for my husband that I cant even eat... so I've also started trying to stock up on easy food my husband can cook for himself. I've spent quite a lot already this week, but my deep freeze is better than half full again so thats nice.<br />
<br />
I don't have a picture of my grocery trip but according to my receipt from Schnucks I saved $115.62 and spent $101.70 (53%) for 90 items (thats like getting everything for only $1.13 each)! The cart was overflowing, it was awesome.<br />
<br />
This morning I ran to Dierbergs for a few things and picked up 10 Propel water, 2 2lb Strawberry crates, 1 Wholly Queso, 5 Coke 2L, and 1 Sundrop 2L for $12.50. I dont know what I saved because the receipt doesnt show it, but I had $11.99 (49%) in coupons.<br />
<br />
I still haven't made it to Shop and Save, where I plan to get a ton of Lean Pockets for his lunches, and Im kicking myself for not making it on Thursday since I have a list of about $75 worth of stuff (AFTER coupons).<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for another totally freaking awesome Walgreen's trip in my next post.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-73391989230764212552011-05-01T23:32:00.000-05:002011-05-01T23:32:47.134-05:00Saturday Is For SavingI didn't get all my shopping done this weekend, but I did make a trip to Target last night trying to use my coupons before they expired. Got a lot of awesome deals! I spent $42.11 after tax and my Red Card and saved $45.50! I think I found my new favorite cashier, not very good with the small talk but he makes sure all my coupons go through and doesn't give me a hard time about having multiples.<br />
<br />
All that deal hunting and a total fail at Walmart for my <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/flat-iron-challenge.html">Flat Iron Challenge</a> exhausted me and I think made me a little sore. I should start doing shopisthenics to get in shape.<br />

<br />
First, head over to <a href="http://www.savingmoneyinmissouri.com/">Clippin' with Carie</a>'s website and check out this week's <a href="http://www.savingmoneyinmissouri.com/walgreens-deals-51-57/">Walgreen's ad match up</a>, lots of awesome deals next week so go pick yours out and print your shopping list.<br />
<br />
Here is a simple example of how you can roll your rewards to maximize savings. Your deal strategy may differ based on the items you need for your household, but this should hopefully give you some inspiration. (Prices do not include tax.)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>TRANSACTION 1</b><br />
1 Noxzema Disposable Razor 4 pack - $3.99<br />
Use the $2 coupon from the May 1 RedPlum insert<br />
<u>PAY $1.99 AND GET A $3 RR</u><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>TRANSACTION 2</b><br />
1 Gillette Fusion ProGlide Manual or Power Razor - $9.89<br />
1 Padded Mailer or Scotch Tape $0.39 with in-ad coupon (filler item)<br />
Use the $4 coupon from the May 1 P&G insert<br />
AND use the $3 RR from transaction 1<br />
<u>PAY $3.28 AND GET A $5 RR</u><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>TRANSACTION 3</b><br />
2 Cottonelle Toilet Paper 12 packs ("Large" rolls) at $5 each - $10<br />
1 Padded Mailer or Scotch Tape $0.39 with in-ad coupon (filler item)<br />
Use 2 $0.50 coupons printable <a href="http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?tqnm=qj1tdcw41685089&bt=vi&o=55011&c=KC&p=cRdOCWhv">HERE</a> (can print 2 per computer)<br />
AND use the $1 Cottonelle Coupon from the Wag's May Coupon Book (available in-store) - takes off $2<br />
AND use the $5 RR from transaction 2<br />
<u>PAY $2.39 AND GET A $3 RR</u><br />
<br />
<b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">TOTAL PAID: $7.66 - WITH $3 RR REMAINING</span></b><br />
<br />
You could stop here and leave the store with $3 in RR for your next trip... or you can keep rolling the rewards for other items that also have RR deals, or spend the $3 on a splurge for yourself (or if you wanna be practical you could pick up some other household products you may be low on).<br />
<br />
If I wanted to continue this roll I might pick up some the Right Guard Total Defense Deodorant for $2.99 with a B1G1 coupon paying only for a filler item and getting another $2 RR. Then I might grab some GUM Eez-Thru Flossers for $2 and use the $2 RR to pay for them (no filler needed) and get another $2 RR. Nearly endless possibilities, have fun with it!<br />
<br />
Happy Shopping!<br />

<br />
<ol><li>Know the <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/p/coupon-policies.html">store's coupon policy</a>! Bring a copy with you in case of any issues!</li>
<li>To get the most savings you will have to do more than one transaction</li>
<li>You may need access to multiple computers to print multiples of on-line coupons or multiple Sunday papers for duplicates of coupons (or you can try a clipping service).</li>
<li>Do NOT expect or count on the cashier to know which products have a monthly coupon book or in-ad coupon available - to have the smoothest experience have all your coupons separated by transaction and ready to go before you head to the store</li>
<li>Register Rewards are mfg coupons. Walgreen's does not allow more mfg coupons than items per transaction. Coupons for an amount off 2+ items count as a coupon for each item. When using a RR with other items you have mfg coupons on you may need to buy an inexpensive additional item so your mfg coupon count does not exceed your item count - this is called a filler item.</li>
</ol><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A note about coupon shopping etiquette</span></b></div><ul><li>Don't be a shelf clearer - we all want to get the same deals you want so leave some for the rest of us!</li>
<li>As a courtesy to other shoppers, especially when shopping during peak times, please try to check out in one of the other store departments when possible; no one wants to wait in line while you have 5 different orders with tons of coupons.</li>
<li>Don't worry about other people's stares or comments, if they want to pay retail then let them but most of us do this to save money for our families and in some cases we do it because we have no other choice to survive - they don't know you or your situation so don't let them get under your skin. Just smile and be polite, they will eat their words and stares when they see your total.</li>

I got a great deal and was so excited that it arrived today. LOVE free 2 day shipping from <a href="http://amazon.com/prime">Amazon Prime</a>, love love love it!<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>I got so wrapped up in setting it up and getting all the computers set up that I forgot to watch <a href="http://tlc.howstuffworks.com/tv/extreme-couponing">TLC's Extreme Couponing</a>. Uh oh... coupon foul! I am having issues getting my laptop to connect, the one computer I thought would be the easiest! Everything else is working great though so I just have to show off the new <b>printing, copying, scanning, faxing, auto-paper-feeding beast</b>!</div><div><br />

It totally makes sense, I mean they get reimbursed for the full face value of the coupon so why shouldn't we get the full face value too?<br />
<br />
As I was brushing my hair I remembered my coworker Angie saying she thought my hair would look nice straightened... but I lost my flat iron on one of my work trips to Chicago. That was my "Ah ha!" moment and the Flat Iron Challenge was born.<br />
<br />
I decided to plan a trip to Walmart where my coupon overage would buy me a brand new flat iron! Here is the one I picked out for $22.99 (online price) and it says you don't even have to dry your hair first! Although I'm a little apprehensive about not drying my hair first, I <b><i>am</i></b> a lazy hair styler (pony tail most days) and it got great reviews on the wet function.<br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_178976684">Remington Wet 2 Straight Ceramic Flat Iron, 2"</a></div></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://www.walmart.com/ip/Remington-Wet-2-Straight-Ceramic-Straightener-2/5855128"><img border="0" height="196" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8o0hW041kkg8B89csMcW8rD11Zno23HYTxd75bfTi10ZmmUKKJAmTGCkHQiWA6t7iR44gg1R7cpuq9_aigbfBGBJU7YHECwvSGhzyUXS2R9bhhiRQneigsu2BoGzN3oWTzeJsRU7ftqso/s320/RemingtonWet2Dry.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sounds easy, right? Find some coupons that are more than an item and get cash back... in general yes its super easy, but trying to find $23 worth of overage at $0.02-0.15 a pop is <b><i>freakin hard</i></b>! So far I have a list of 55 items with a retail total of $91.89 and coupons totaling $110.00 for an overage of $18.11 - and I have a small list of possible money making coupons and a few others I need to check and see if I still have the coupons for. Hopefully they have the items I'm looking for, and they are still the same price since I'm not sure if some of the prices I've noted from other bloggers were sale prices.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm still looking for coupon overage deals and trying to make a game plan to make this go as smoothly as possible in-store. If you read the <a href="http://walmartstores.com/7655.aspx">Walmart Coupon Policy</a> the register will automatically prompt them to call a manager if any of the following occurs: 40 coupons per transaction, $50 or more in coupons per transaction, or any single coupon for $20 or more for one item. This means I will want to split my shopping into 3 separate transactions to keep it both under 40 items and $50 worth of coupons. This will be epic!</div>Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-19900198641714010912011-04-22T17:58:00.015-05:002011-04-22T22:14:44.665-05:00Rollin' Rewards, Saved By WagsEver since the <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/eenie-meenie-miney-moe.html">Target incident</a> I've been more than a little apprehensive about coupon shopping. I keep thinking the cashiers are all going to think I'm doing something against the rules, or my coupons won't work, or all the deal items will be gone. I almost considered giving up on couponing *gasp*!<br />
<br />
The thing is, I really enjoy looking for the deals and then figuring out how to make the most of my money and coupons. It keeps me busy, makes me happy, and saves my family a ton of money.<br />
<br />
Shopping last night reminded me how much I love couponing and has restored a little of the confidence I lost after the <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/04/eenie-meenie-miney-moe.html">Target fiasco</a>.<br />
<br />
Thanks again <span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: large;"><b>Lauren</b></span> (Cosmetics at Walgreen's on Old 94 and Muegge in St. Charles) for being such a friendly and knowledgeable cashier and helping me get through all my crazy shopping orders! You helped me get back my passion for couponing and I'd love to help you get started!<br />

<b>Side Trip:</b> On my way home from work yesterday I stopped by CVS to see if they had any of my rain check items in and they finally did have the toothbrushes I wanted! So I snagged those up and paid $2.14 for all 4 (saved $16.86), used part of my ECBs to buy the bunnies, AND somehow walked out with $4 new ECBs!!!<br />

<br />
I finally got my Target shopping done last weekend... on the last day my coupons were good through, despite being told I couldn't use my coupons one day and then being accused of coupon fraud the next day. Third (and fourth) time's the charm, right?<br />

Unfortunately that is exactly what happened tonight. My choices were very limited, older lady with short hair and older lady with long hair.<br />
<br />
I only had a few items and not a lot of complicated coupons (so I thought). I get to the register and the lady tells me that she cant take my coupons on the travel items I was purchasing, sets them on the counter, and told me to take it up with the manager because its against the store policy to accept them.<br />
<br />
I was irritated since I knew it was not against the store policy and had her call the manager over. When the manager arrived she asks if the coupons didn't scan, so I promptly spoke up stating that she refused to even try. The manager told her to scan them and if they work to take them. The cashier rebutted that the coupons were for $1 and the item was only $0.99. Much to my delight the manger said "I'll explain it to you later" all the while the cashier is still muttering under her breath that its against the store policy.<br />
<br />
They still wouldn't take 4 of my store coupons because the computer said the items didn't exist in my purchase when they clearly did... and even if they were taken off the, total was way too high. By then I'd had enough and instead of trying to go through everything line by line I asked them to void the transaction and return my coupons.<br />
<br />
I've had some not so great trips before, but this trip by far takes the cake and goes down in my record books as the-worst-trip-EVER! I guess I'll try again in the morning.<br />
<br />
This just serves as another reminder to make sure you know the store's coupon policy.

In fact I might even have leftover budget! Sorry husband, that does not mean you can buy Duke Nukem or whatever other video game you are drooling over today.<br />
<br />

1 Facial Buff, 4 Purex 3-in-1, 2 Gain Dish Liquid, 2 Coke 2L, and 3 Coke 12pk (not shown). I spent $9.47 after coupons and ECB's, and received $5 ECB for next time. Apparently I saved $50.07, and $25.58 of that was coupons/ECB!<br />
<br />
<br />
I also scored a $6 Physician's Formula coupon from the kiosk!<br />
<br />
After that, I ran to Walgreen's to grab 4 Irish Spring deodorant that was free after coupons and RR for my brother-in-law-in-law, then I used the RR to buy 3 Kraft Deluxe that was on sale, and a bunch of Easter Candy. I think I spent $9. Why, oh why, does the candy have such a hold on me?<br />

<br />
We got 2 Mountain Dew 12pks, 2 Tostitos Chips, 1 Dip, 1 Sierra Mist 2L, 1 Jug Apple Cider (clearance!), 2 TGIF Appetizers, 2 Up&Up ibuprofen, 2 Up&Up dryer sheets, 2 Dentyne Pure 3pks, 1 Shout Wipes Travel Size, 2 Scrubbing Bubbles cleaners, and 1 Clorox 2. This time I handed over my coupons one by one and made sure each one scanned.<br />
<br />
Our total was $31.94 and the receipt says we saved $31.78, and since their receipts are completely illogically organized... lets just go with that - nearly 50% savings!<br />
<hr /><br />
After we got home from Target I wanted to go back to CVS and exchange my highly overpriced, ill-thought-out purchase of Coke 12pks from earlier this week. I put together a quick list from the new ad and grabbed some coupons for some <b>Midnight Shopping</b>!<br />
<br />
When I arrived and scanned my card I was pleasantly surprised with a $5 ECB from the magic coupon kiosk for my winter beauty spending, woohoo!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4dk7OghrxAnsW2ub1tGdMmx4jtRsSqzNY1B6GBGqfRF7Ls3DqHZGgN8IiLa_swLwziQp9hmaoVddRL4uSaB5vzXdZ50n8ejnHQRnpAtjbFMzUrA2daetJpNqgk_r7ZAu4xcXEKPM-V59z/s1600/CVS+20110320.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4dk7OghrxAnsW2ub1tGdMmx4jtRsSqzNY1B6GBGqfRF7Ls3DqHZGgN8IiLa_swLwziQp9hmaoVddRL4uSaB5vzXdZ50n8ejnHQRnpAtjbFMzUrA2daetJpNqgk_r7ZAu4xcXEKPM-V59z/s320/CVS+20110320.jpg" width="320" /></a>First I bought the Renu contact solution with a $5 coupon from <a href="http://coupons.com/">coupons.com</a>, and paid $8.58 on my FSA card and got $3 ECB. Since I plan ahead for contact supplies on my FSA card I don't count this as an out-of-pocket expense.<br />
<br />
I'm proud of my next purchase because I mostly figured this deal out all by myself! I bought 12 Cottonelle Fresh Wipes on sale 3 for $4 and used 6 <a href="http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=vi&tqnm=qlahbaf21955073&o=55008&c=KC&p=PyaeLjX4">$1 off 2 printable coupons</a> (<a href="http://bricks.coupons.com/Start.asp?bt=vg&tqnm=qlahbaf21955073&o=55008&c=KC&p=PyaeLjX4">or here for Firefox users</a>). These are part of an ECB deal when you spend $15 on various household products you get a $5 ECB. I get confused sometimes and didn't think of using the $5 ECB I got from the kiosk! My total spent was $5.37, I saved $39.68, and got a $5 ECB.<br />
<br />
If you don't have extra ECB to use, you can still print 6 of the coupons (you will need access to 3 computers) and get them for $0.83 each after coupons or $0.42 each after coupons and ECB!<br />
<br />
My final transaction was for 2 Ritz Crackers, 2 Wheat Thins, 7 Coke 2L, 1 Dawn dish soap, 1 24pk Nestle Pure Life water, and 1 Physicians Formula eye shadow. I used the rest of my ECB's from the previous week, plus the $5 ECB from the last transaction, the $6 off Physicians Formula coupon I got Thursday, and a $5 off $25 coupon I got in my email. I didn't have enough to also use the $5 ECB from the kiosk so I just held onto it. I'm always shopping at CVS so it wont go to waste. My total spent was $3.09 and total savings of $42.28 plus I got a $5 ECB.<br />
<br />
Grand total for CVS ended up being $8.46, saved $81.96, and walked out with $10 ECB.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-7113830718643546312011-03-20T04:00:00.007-05:002011-03-20T14:03:39.697-05:00Stuff You Don't Wanna MissIn the spirit of sharing I wanted to throw together a quick list of some of the recent printable links and links to the coveted P&G coupon booklets.

It was lots of fun to have her along, but I'm not sure her wallet agrees! </div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;">First she wasn't buying anything, then it was maybe some knee-highs, then it was oh sure Ill get some lady products, then she wanted peeps but also had to get a nummy for her hubby and came back with no peeps and some weird egg laying chicken thing... and then while we were in the checkout line she spotted some popcorn that she had to run off and get.</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;">That was the most ADD shopping I have ever seen in my life, very entertaining though.</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;">I was a tiny bit more organized with my shopping trip. First, I bought the diapers in two separate transactions, spent $12.89 each (saved $8 each), so I could get two $3 Register Rewards.</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"></div><div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584172935438250994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikB3pN7qOCfpwAMP7yu57hRN6SD1PPo2hYuJ8XQKqJSNa0IeTqGsO8mNSdvqHdRc4IVFlEXEFceDZZ7PsO0kUE-cBFl77k3-BGAR6DSFTleCfWxSA4uv8M4HaKfM_mC_77JCWAy3At5Qqk/s320/photo-777868.JPG" /></div><br />
<br />
Then I bought everything else, with coupons and my $6 in Register Rewards... and due to some last minute additions, forgetting a coupon, and a slight miscalculation I did spend $3.77 out of pocket... but still saved $32.20!<br />
The Dawn smell in yellow is pretty yummy too, pineapple something!<br />

What deals have you scored at Walgreen's recently?Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-87568528362767827982011-03-08T01:24:00.001-06:002011-03-08T01:26:33.054-06:00Hungry Monster StrikesDo not grocery shop when you're hungry! Sounds like good advice, right? Sometimes you just cant avoid it... like today. I had a late breakfast, missed lunch, left a few minutes early for a doctor's appointment, and went straight to the store with my tummy growling. My $25-30 shopping trip turned into nearly $100 and that is why "they" say you shouldn't shop hungry, and I believe "them"!<br />
<br />
I joined the <a href="http://www.savealotsavings.com/">Smart Shopper Club</a> over at <a href="http://www.save-a-lot.com/">Save-a-Lot</a> and got my $5 off $25 purchase coupon so I decided to grab some things on the way home. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWe0q8g2WC5066040jfT0ZX4tdj1kirzAFiMgEgHK-8RkEgPit4x6RxWyZ7ZMu-hbcfw__cslKKFyXv43FCNcjrS4-aaEc3J_y4p9JPnukQCuip8qmcp_bHvn-ZsEFOxMaQQJSGbBNWD8/s1600/image002.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIWe0q8g2WC5066040jfT0ZX4tdj1kirzAFiMgEgHK-8RkEgPit4x6RxWyZ7ZMu-hbcfw__cslKKFyXv43FCNcjrS4-aaEc3J_y4p9JPnukQCuip8qmcp_bHvn-ZsEFOxMaQQJSGbBNWD8/s320/image002.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<i>Some things</i> quickly turned into practically one of everything in the store! I got <i>some</i> meatballs, <i>some</i> frozen dinners/lunches, <i>some</i> crackers, <i>some </i>screamin cheese (so good!), <i>some</i> fruit, <i>some</i> macaroni and cheese, <i>some</i> jello and pudding, <i>some</i> chicken nuggets, <i>some</i> cheese, and lots of other <i>some things</i>. At least now I wont have to go grocery shopping for <i>some</i> time!<br />
<br />
On the bright side I was able to scope out more of the special buys still available at my store. It pays to shop around, so don't forget to check other local retail or grocery stores for their prices and specials before you buy. Here's a few of the deals with any matching coupons I could find:<br />

Part 3Target is becoming one of my favorite places to shop... I just wish the darn cashiers could figure out the coupons. Twice in the last week, Ive WATCHED that stupid register and they still managed to muck up the coupons (and its always the big ones, like my $5 off 12 Weight Watchers coupon and my B1G1 Swiffer refill).<br />
<br />
Luckily I've have the good fortune of being neurotic (or stupid) enough to decode their idiotic receipts and the ability to persuade the manager to give me credit even though I didn't come back on the same day.<br />
<br />
After all that... I think I made out pretty good. Check out my booty (Argh)! After my coupon refund I paid $26.52 which was a savings of $60.81 in-coupons-thank-you-very-much.<br />

Part 2Walgreen's has some pretty good RR deals this week, and I planned out this big elaborate list with 11 different transactions. I was going to hit the jackpot with this week's specials.... until I went to four different Walgreen's and couldn't find the stupid Motrin that was on sale. According to one of the store managers there was recently a big recall on Motrin and that's why they were out. I don't know if I believe that considering the Motrin that wasn't on sale was still in plenty of stock. Bitches.<br />
<br />
I did manage to get a few things on my list that didn't require a RR to get a good deal on, and unfortunately didn't produce one either. Thanks to <a href="http://www.savingmoneyinmissouri.com/walgreens-notes-from-the-field/">Clippin' With Carie</a> for the heads up on this deal.<br />
<br />

Part 1For the two of you out there who actually pay attention to this blog... here is an update on <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/02/too-much-napping-shopping-lists-done.html">this post</a>.<br />
<br />
I set out after work last night with my mind on my money, and my money on my mind... and lots of coupons.<br />
<br />
Insert rant #1: The night's chaos began at CVS. In true CVS style every single store in the Saint Louis metro area vastly underestimated the number of people who were going to buy the toothbrushes on sale this week - and they had none. I mean for real, you know the sale is coming, you know there is a coupon in the paper STOCK UP ON THIS CRAP! If I were a store manager I would make it a priority to scan the freaking coupon/deal blogs and actually pay attention to the upcoming sales and try to make sure I have more than 3 of something that is going to be a hot item. Doesn't take a genius... or perhaps it does.<br />
<br />
Ok, now onto the fun part... here is what I bought. Guess how much I paid, go on guess. You'll never guess! Come on, come on... GUESS!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisCoPmiHMDyoRNuEMG1DkOMzAy9uqKih_Nk0whH6D7XZDpr2WDPE6Re_0JUEqoSnaKqPteAisP6rtluqstW6ObvZ2FP7zmEan9hm9_vJameU6Tp2LNSwWbsU7pXHYggMTRbXQkKb7S87hw/s1600/IMG_1863.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisCoPmiHMDyoRNuEMG1DkOMzAy9uqKih_Nk0whH6D7XZDpr2WDPE6Re_0JUEqoSnaKqPteAisP6rtluqstW6ObvZ2FP7zmEan9hm9_vJameU6Tp2LNSwWbsU7pXHYggMTRbXQkKb7S87hw/s320/IMG_1863.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>If you guessed $5 you are WAY wrong. You are the weakest couponer, goodbye. Wait for it...... waaaaaait for it.... I paid a whole whopping $0.02.... but here's the best part (you're going to love it) - I got $6.58 ECBs back!<br />
<br />
I already had $9 worth of ECBs in my wallet, which is how I got this amazing deal... but you can get in on the money making action too. If you look in your Sunday paper from 2/27 in the P&G insert you will find a $0.75 off Crest coupon, or if you were one of the lucky ones to get the Facebook P&G coupon booklet there are $1 off coupons. Here is an example of how to roll your rewards using multiple transactions to maximize your savings/profit (you will need multiples of some coupons, here I assume you are using the $0.75 Crest coupon): <br />
<br />
#1 <br />
Buy 1 Crest Pro-Health (several varieties on sale) - $3.29<br />
Use $0.75 off Crest 4oz or larger from the Feb 27 P&G insert<br />
Pay $2.54.......Get $3.29 ECB (limit 2)<br />
<br />
#2 <br />
Buy 1 Crest Pro-Health (several varieties on sale) - $3.29<br />
Buy 1 Dawn 9.5-10.3oz - $0.94<br />
Use $0.75 off Crest 4oz or larger from the Feb 27 P&G insert<br />
Use $0.25 off Dawn dish liquid also from Feb 27 P&G insert <br />
Use $3.29 ECB from #1<br />
Pay $0 (possibly tax).......Get $3.29 ECB (limit 2)<br />
<br />
#3 <br />
Buy 1 Oral-B Cross Action power toothbrush (if you can find it) - $6<br />
Buy 1 Dawn 9.5-10.3oz - $0.94<br />
Use $3 off Oral-B power toothbrush from Feb 27 P&G insert<br />
Use $0.25 off Dawn dish liquid also from Feb 27 P&G insert <br />
Use $3.29 ECB from #2<br />
Pay $0 (possibly tax).......Get $3 ECB (limit 2)<br />
<br />
<br />
#4<br />
Buy 1 Oral-B Cross Action power toothbrush (if you can find it) - $6<br />
Use $3 off Oral-B power toothbrush from Feb 27 P&G insert<br />
Use $3 ECB from #3 <br />
Pay $0 (possibly tax).......Get $3 ECB (limit 2)<br />
<br />
For around $3.00 out of pocket, you'll get 2 toothbrushes, 2 toothpaste, 2 dish soap and $3 more to spend now... or later - on whatever else you might need or want to treat yourself to!Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-10266786312606689762011-02-28T03:58:00.001-06:002011-02-28T03:59:30.829-06:00Too Much Napping = Shopping Lists Done!Not only did I sleep in today, I also took a two hour nap... and when you combine that with far too much caffeine and tornado sirens at 11 pm you get a wired crazy coupon lady who is determined to cash in on the deals with coupons expiring today (Monday Feb 28).<br />
<br />
I now have lists and coupons organized for CVS, Walgreens, and Target! Here's the plan - I'll let you know how it goes!<br />
<ul><li><b style="color: red;">CVS</b>: Buy 2 toothpaste, 4 power toothbrushes, and 1 dish soap. Spend $0 cash... starting with $9 ECB and leaving with $10.29 in ECB.</li>
</ul><ul><li><b style="color: red;">WALGREENS</b>: Buy 6 motrin, 1 always, 5 baby shampoo, 5 vicks drops, 4 puffs tissues, 4 gillette razors, 11 hydrogen peroxide, 7 gal water, 2 welch's juice. Spend less than $8.</li>
</ul><ul><li><b style="color: red;">TARGET</b>: Buy 4 olay facial cleanser, 4 olay body wash, 2 3pk dentyne, 2 bleach, 2 dryer sheets, 4 cleaning prod, and swiffer items of unknown price. Before swiffer Im hoping to spend less than $20. I would use my <a href="http://themadprincess.blogspot.com/2011/02/welcome-to-m-p-mart.html">leftover gift cards</a> to pay but I promised them to hubby for new shirts and such.</li>
</ul>And my mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law think <i>I'm crazy</i> for buying four newspapers every week! I think they are crazy for NOT buying four papers every week.Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3787589942890361838.post-50926342346279429322011-02-27T21:49:00.002-06:002011-02-28T00:00:10.208-06:00Welcome to M. P. MartLast week Target had some of the best deals on frozen food EVER! The deal was that if your buy ANY 7 frozen food items you got a $5 gift card. Pretty simple, huh? The deal gets even better if you use coupons.<br />
<br />
Here is a great example: I stacked two Target coupons for $5 off 10 Weight Watchers entrees with a $5 off 12 and a $4 off 10 manufacturer coupon, paid about $20 for 22 dinners and got $15 in gift cards back!<br />
<br />
If you missed out on this awesome sale and that makes you sad, then you need to start "Liking" the crazy coupon people on Facebook and subscribing to their feeds from their websites... <b><i>seriously</i></b>. Links to the ones I frequent are on the left side of the page, and they all have links to their Facebook pages. Dont forget to head <a href="http://www.facebook.com/dingobones#%21/pages/Mad-Princess/190695867623286">here and "Like" me on Facebook</a> too!<br />
<br />
<br />
I know its hard to tell what all is in there, but as you can see I stocked up my brand new deep freezer! For a complete list including totals, see below the picture.<br />

We've been talking about our lack of freezer space for a while now and this sale came at a time when the freezer is full! <span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>So we bought a deep freeze.</b></span> I can't wait to fill it up!<br />

<br />

We went for the TP sale on my favorite brand and ended up getting a few other things. No coupons, but we found a fun table cloth on clearance and I did use my red card and saved 5%! Spent $33.78, Saved $3.15. ALL ABOARD!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Next Stop - Walgreen's</span></b><br />
<br />
I did two transactions, boring in comparison to my last big 25 transaction trip (25TT), but I still scored some awesome deals.<br />
<br />
<b>Transaction #1</b><br />
I bought 1 Garnier Herbashine and 2 Garnier Nutriesse Hair Color, each on sale for $5 and a Crunch Heart for filler item. I used two $2 off and one $3 off coupons along with my $6 Register Reward from the 25TT; Paid $2.54, Saved $23.97, Received $5 Register Reward<br />

The cashier announced my total of $1.36, and while being completely oblivious to the line behind me, I admit I couldnt help myself and I jumped up and down a little, giggled, and clapped for myself. The lady behind me steps forward and said "Oh wow, how did you do that?". I was still in a coupon happy land daze and I looked at her and said "COUPONS! and Register Rewards, did you see all that stuff I got?" and then I babbled something about checking the ads for the Register Rewards deals and that I buy four papers every week. She seemed extremely impressed, and I was elated to spend so little. I used the rest of my 25TT Register Rewards ($8 and $6), the $5 Register Reward I just got, and a bunch of coupons for a total savings of $72.20.<br />
<br />
Final Stop - CVS<br />
On the way to CVS it suddenly dawn on me that I only had 15 minutes to get there and get my Curel lotion before the sale ended. Oh no!<br />
<br />

I rushed in the door, scanned my card at the magic coupon kiosk... but no $3 coupon like the ad promised! I ran to the lotion isle, grabbed my bottle (on <i>sale</i> for $8.99) and two other smaller bottles I thought were marked $1, ran to the counter and started checking out. While I was checking out I tried to ask the lady why I didnt get my $3 coupon, she was totally clueless and eventually after showing her the ad she agreed to just take the $3 off. The small bottles I thought were $1 rang up as $6.79, but I opened my big mouth saying I thought they were $1 so we had to go check the isle, and it was $1 off, not for $1, nice thing was while there the second time around I found a peelie for $2 off the highly overpriced smaller bottle, SCORE! So after my $3 off, and the $5 Extra Care Bucks from my last trip my total was $6.21, saved $10. Not bad for two bottles of Curel. Oh and I also got there in time to get the $3 Extra Care Bucks for spending $10 on Curel. Woohoo!Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13574301354947752841noreply@blogger.com0
