A few Deals :)

It seems not having a photo to post of my deals is keeping me from blogging at all... So no photos but here are some deals I'm crazy about right now:
Target:
In the Travel/Trial size section look for a 2 oz bottle of "All Small and Mighty 3X Detergent" it is priced at $1.00 use the $1.50/1 coupon from the 4/20 Red Plum insert or the $1.00/1 Hangtag Coupon (I've found these on bottles of ALL at Wal-Mart and Food Lion). The Target I bought mine at marked the coupon down to $1.00, so no overage, but still free :)

Food Lion:
I recently found out about the Food Lion printable coupons... ever since I did we've been eating lots of free cookies at our house. Go to this link to print coupons for free cookies ("Free 12 Count Fresh in Store Baked Cookies" expires May13th) and free baby wipes($1.50/1, Expires 7/1)! The Food Lion Baby Wipes are regularly priced at $1.49 - so the coupon will peep and either be pushed through, or will be marked down to $1.49. Two other favorites: the $1.00 off Food Lion Ice Cream (Expires 5/27) is a great coupon- you can get Ice Cream for about $2, and the $1.00 Food Lion Chicken Breasts (Expires 5/27) is a great deal when they are marked down or on sale- I've gotten Chicken for about $2 several times!

I love Overage!

These KY's have lots of overage at Wal-Mart- they are in the travel/trial size section at select stores! I am excited I finally found them at the 3rd Wal-Mart I tried. They are priced at $1.67 and there are coupons in the 3/9 Red Plums for $3.00 off any KY product... lots of overage! :)

I LOVE Kroger! Saved $105.20, Spent $13.22

I have been having so much fun at Kroger this week! I went on Monday and got tons of the deals- went back again today and bought all of this (see photos below) for a total of $13.22! ...I'm starting to make friends with the cashiers at Kroger, as I go once or twice week. As I handed my coupons to the male cashier I told him that my total was going to be a dollar plus tax (my first transaction) and he said, "I bet the total is going to be at least $5"... and my total (on the first transaction) was $1.88! I mostly paid taxes, $o.91 was tax. He told me, he checked out a lady once, who got her total down to one cent...I have a bit more to learn to get that good! ~~~ I had coupons for just about everything I bought! The pizza crust was free after coupons, as was the cookie mix, the crescent rolls, and the Buddies bars!

Here are the totals for each item, after the buy 10 get $5 off promotion & coupons:
First Transaction:

8 Cookie Mixes (free)
3 J&J Buddies bars (free)
1 Dawn Detergent ($0.50) (Used a $1.50 off coupon)
8 Pizza crusts (free)
13 Cresant rolls (free)

Total: $1.88

Second Transaction:

10 Cottenelle ($0.49)
2 Ziplock ($1.20)
1 Grape Juice ($1.00)
5 Sweet Rolls (-$0.10 each) (These were the best deal: overage! Too bad they only had 5 left!)
2 Crescent Rolls (free)
3 J&J Buddies Bars (free)
1)Butter ($2.59) (we needed some to make the free cookies!)

(note: my math is off by +$0.03 ;-) )
Pre-Total: $10.36
Tax: $0.98
Total: $11.34

A closer look... lots of rolls, cookies and pizza crust!

Yea for $.49 Cottonelle! Stocking up!

I LOVE long receipts! The coupons are the longest part of the receipts :)

Totals! First Receipt: total savings: $65 ~~ Second Receipt: $40.20

Super Savings Saturday ~Walgreens~

Well another week, another reason to hit all the Walgreen stores in town! I got lots of the Olay soap deal! I pretty much got all of this for free/ got paid to buy these items when you factor in the $24 I got in Register Rewards for the soap! ~ On the way to deals there are road blocks sometimes...
I had a confrontation with a Walgreens manager yesterday... She confronted me- what a mess! The manager would only let me buy 4 of the Maybeline lip glosses on my third transaction at her store (they were on clearance and FREE after using a coupon, she was mad that I had so many coupons and limited how many I could buy, which was not fair, because managers usually want people to buy items that are on clearance so the store is not "stuck" with an item they no longer carry). I tried to explain this to her, but she would have none of it... So I contacted the 1-800 Walgreens number this morning and made my case to them, and then later today the Head store manager of the Walgreens store called me and told me that yes, I was right- I could buy as many lip glosses as I wanted, they are on clearance and she wants to get rid of them... so she said she would hold the rest for me and I could come and buy them all! So I went in later today bought the remaining 13 lip glosses for a total of $1, which was tax. Sweet! :) ~It is so crazy that because of my studying/ reading on Hotcouponworld I know more about Walgreens policies than a Walgreens manager does! :-P

All this for pennies, my friends :)

Totals: 16 cents and 9 cents.... (I love the negative subtotals: -39 cents and -41 cents! -Had to toss in a filler!)

Totals: 69 cents and $2.66 (TP and Jackson's Meds)

13 lip glosses for a total of $1.00 (I only paid for tax, they were FREE baby, yea!)

Jackson Turns 1!

Our little baby turned 1 today! My friends the McNiffs sent Jackson a beautiful Steiff Penguin for his birthday! ...Jackson enjoyed his cake... he got his face covered in icing in a matter of seconds! :) ~We love our Jackson-Boy!

All This for 11 Cents!?!?! Thank you Walgreens!

Wow! I had a very successful trip to Walgreens today! My total for my first transaction came up negative eight cents! (Because of overage from the combining of Jane online coupons and Walgreens EasySaver in store coupons) I had to quickly toss in a "filler" - a chapstick. I was amazed at this deal my self... With the "filler" my total was 11 cents! What a blessing! I was able to get all the items the nurse from the pediatrician's office told me to get for Jackson's cough. After only paying 11 cents I decided I should spend some money at Walgreens (!!!), so I used my remaining Jane coupons and used the overage from the mascaras to get a humidifier for Jackson's room (another item the nurse recommended). The humidifier retailed for $30, but with the Jane overage (from the ES mascara coupons) I only paid $18.17! Sweet! :) I'm getting pretty good at this! Thanks HotCouponWorld and MoneySavingMom! (P.S. On these two transactions I saved $159.91)

All This for 11 Cents!?! Awesome!

Proof! I love an 11 cent total!

The Jane deal helped me get overage to buy a humidifier for Jackson's room!

Homemade Bread!

I told Tony about this receipt... and he made the bread today... It was so good! I covered my slices with butter! So good!
