Hmmm....so tomorrow I am going back to get the Ecotrin (I'm a dork I left the coupons at home on the desk...and that they actually had!) So I will go back and get some of that tomorrow.

Coupon Information Corporation

The Coupon Information Corporation has a GREAT site that lists all of the fradulent coupons that are out there. Being new to couponing myself I was really happy to stubble across this site. If you ever have a coupon that you are in doubt about it would be a really good idea to go on over to their site and check it out. As a good deal is NOT worth getting in trouble over. Yes, we may not know that a coupon is good or not so it is best to just check it out on the site. Many of these coupons on this site I have seen on ebay. THAT IS TERRIBLE! Some of the sellers are selling multiples of the items also.

Lets keep couponing FUN and most importantly LEGAL!

ugh...

Today is soooo dreary that I feel like blah and don't even want to go out anywhere. I did want to go Kmart and Walgreen's today to get some more cheap/FREE items but I don't even know if I will have the energy. I have been cleaning most of the day and that had aided in wiping me out. The boys are filled with mischief being stuck in the house as well. They are like mini tornados that fly through as soon as I am done cleaning one area....ugh...I wish it was nap time...lol

So those GREAT Walgreen's totes that we got the other day...well I am pretty disappointed in mine to say the least! After bringing all of my items in today and unloading...I noticed a HUGE hole in the one all down the seam...now I have a sewing machine and can try and fix this but wow I thought it would last a little longer...bummer!! I did see some pretty cool ones at Kmart though today...I may have to snag one of those instead...they are much bigger too...

Target FREE Reuseable tote for Earth Day!

My Kmart Deals 4/19

I awoke bright and early this morning (much earlier than I would have liked) to go shopping for the Kmart Doubling event. I stayed up pretty late last night making out my list of great scores and freebies. I went to 2 different stores, as both of my local ones were participating. The one in Plymouth is MUCH better and had a nicer selection of items versus the one in Sheboygan.

My best friend, her sister, my younger and both of the kids all ventured out. Our first stop was the Kmart in Sheboygan. Needless to say this was a bit of a hassel as 3 out of the 4 of us had problems with the cashiers and coupons. One of the cashiers tried to say that our Smartsource Easy Mac coupons were no good. We all showed her that they each had different serial numbers. We did get it all cleared up, but it was a bit more of a hassel than I think it should have been.

Plymouth was GREAT! I had several people tell me how awesome my coupon binder was. I even passed out some coupons to fellow shoppers. (I had extra and love being able to help :) Anyways, here is what I all got for only $27.54!! I saved $131.60! $3.62 was tax...I am VERY pleased with what I got and plan to make another trip this week for some more great freebies!


Here is the breakdown of items:

3 Veet Bladeless Shaver Kits clearance $4.49 ($2 IP cpn=$0.49 each)

I have been getting my things in order today for tomorrow at Kmart...I have some pretty good game plans. I will post deal pics and price and what I have gotten later in the day. I was busy finishing up some laundry (it was SUPER nice today and great to hang out the blankets...they smell sooooo fresh!) Then we had to go to church. So check back tomorrow and I will tell you all of the GREAT things that I was able to score for FREE or SUPER DUPER cheap (I checked prices earlier this week)...I just want to make sure I have the correct amounts and what not before I post them. Best wishes and good luck to everybody at Kmart tomorrow!! Night!!

Attention Kmart Shoppers!!

Just wanted to show you all what the little coupon book looks like so you can run out to Kmart and get yourself one before they are all gone. There were some right in the front of the store, as well as by the health and beauty areas. So make sure to be on the look out for them. Inside them are SEVERAL awesome coupons! Including a $2/2 Sunsilk that you can use for the $6 RR deal at Walgreen's! Hurry since that deal ends tomorrow!!! It also has GREAT $1 Tide coupons, $5 PUR water system coupons, and many many other great ones!! $75 worth...don't miss out!

Spent only $17.49 saved $671.28!!!! HOLY FRICKEN COW!

So let me start by saying I did SEVERAL transactions and went to 3 different Walgreen's today. Only because some of the Walgreen's did not have the items that I was looking to buy. My friend N.W. told me that she had stopped at the Kmart and they had some great little coupon books with $75 worth of coupons in them and that I should get one before heading to Walgreen's....

FIRST STOP...Kmart....I grabbed a few booklets and then browsed some of the items that I had coupons for to prepare for this Sunday's Double Coupon event. I just wanted to get an idea of prices and then see what I could get for little to nothing...that's the name of the game right...lol!

**( Again I did SEVERAL transactions at each store to achieve the LOWEST OOP and the best deals. I did start with $8.50 total in RR before shopping so that helped keep down OOP costs)**



Here is what I got total:
*26 Loreal Men's Skin Care products (clearance $1.69-$2.69) used $3/2 manuf. cpn
*18 Sunsilk Shampoo & Conditioners (some even had bonus mousse or shine gel $2.09) used $2/2 manuf. cpn got $6 RR for each 6 did separate transactions
*1 Nivea Cream (clearance $3.29) used $1 manuf. cpn
*3 Zicam ($3 clearance) used $2 manuf. cpn
*3 Fiber Choice Tablets ($2.49) got $2.50 RR for each
*3 Colgate Toothbrushes ($3.29) got $3.50 RR for each
*2 Phsycians Formula Lip Gloss (clearance $4.29) used $1 manuf. cpn
*1 Phsycians Formula dual eyeshadow (clearance $4.79) used $1 manuf. cpn get $10 MIR from spending $10 on Physican's Formula Products
*4 Hershey coconut kisses (clearance $0.62) get $5 MIR
*2 Breyers Ice Creams (2/$6.29) used 2 $0.75 manuf. cpns
*3 Skintamite Shave Gels ($2.99) got $3 RR for each
*2 Edge Shave Gels ($2.99) got $3 RR for each
*2 Scrunci Hair ties ($2) got $2 RR for each
*1 Pringles Southwest Chips (clearance $2.49) used $0.50 manuf. cpn
*1 Poppycock (clearance $2.99) used $0.50 manuf. cpn


AND I still have one of the $6 RR from the Sunsilk left for next time!! YAY!!

Total $17.49 with tax OOP
(after $15 in MIR and $6 RR left)

Total saved $671.28!
(that is with coupons, RR both used and left, MIR and after clearance)

$421.89
(Total saved w/o taking into account clearance)

No matter how you look at it I think I did FANTASTIC!! I did especially well if you take into account all of my GREAT clearance finds and the drastic mark downs. The Loreal men's items were marked down from $10.49-$11.49 that is just awesome!! Great for those baskets I will be making for Chrismtmas and etc. for all the guys in our family. I feel so accomplished today...

Have expired coupons?? Send them to the Miltarty personnel

So last month I went through and sorted out all of my expired coupons. I was just going to toss them into the recycling when my best friend told me that we can donate them to the Military! WOW! I thought that is so awesome! That is so much better than simply throwing them away! Go over here and you can find a list of bases that accept the coupons. They can only use manufactures coupons for up to 6 months past the expiration date. NO IP coupons OR store coupons. Since a lot of coupons expire at the end of the month now you have something nice you can do with them. It is nice to be able to help out in small little ways.

Make sure that you clip the coupons (to save on shipping costs) and that you fill out a small customs form (it takes like a minute). Postage is the same as if you would be sending them here in the US. You mark the value $0 since they have no value unless used. This is a great way to do something with the coupons that you know you will not be using either.

Make sure that you do not put the city and country as then it may be reroute through the countries mailing system. Use this sort of format:

Family Service (or info as written here)
Unit Number, Box Number
APO AE 00000

Preschool Projects FREE kit!

Do you have little ones? Well here is yet another great "freebie of the day" is from Preschool Projects! I just went to their site filled out the quick and simple form and hit enter. It said that my free sample kit would be sent out shortly. I am sure that Tristan will LOVE this! They have great fun projects that will keep him busy and entertained all summer long until he enters kindergarden.

FREE 500 Gillette Razors everyday!!

Found this courtesy of my "freebie of the day box" and thought that you guys may be interested! Starting at noon EST you can go over here to try and snag one! This will happen everyday until 5/16 (so if you miss out today you'll have another shot!) I got some of these razors for my hubby when they had that GREAT Target deal and he LOVES them. He said that it doesn't even feel like he is shaving...nice!

FREE Pasta Dish from All You!

Go over here and fill out this QUICK (I mean quick) form to receive a coupon for a FREE pasta dish. Not sure what it is, but FREE is FREE!

Thanks, Hip to Save!!

CVS....

Today I am thinking of making my FIRST trip to CVS. (There are no CVS pharmacies located here so I will have to drive 25-30 minutes thus the reason I have never went before.) So, I am a tad nervous about this whole adventure, seeing as how I have never been there before. Yes, I know about the ECB and all that hoopala. I even signed up for a card online (I think I should have done this at the store, as it said it would be here in TWO WEEKS!) Though I am determined to get my 4 bottles of FREE Purex laundry soap. So, my whole point here is if anyone has any quick pointers or great deals for me...I AM GAME! I would like to make the trip as worth while as possible. Oh and one more quick question, do the ECB expire as quickly as the RR? Just so I know if I should spend them while I am there versus making another trip (or forgetting later). Thanks!!!

Coupons & eBay!

Lots of people ask me where I get a lot of my coupons, well....eBay of course! I sell things on there so I am really familiar with it. Every now and again when I am looking for some specific coupons I turn to eBay. Now yes, they CAN'T sell the coupons but they sell their time rather. I do use a LOT of my coupons from my Sunday papers or my printables. But MANY of my deals are made possible all thanks to eBay. If you haven't looked there before I recommend that you check it out! You may be able to score some really sweet deals!! And you pay for the paper, so why not pay someone else for a little of their time and effort to get yourself a great bargain!

My coupon binder :)

I finally broke down and got WAY more organized with my coupon binder. I had one of those tiny acordian ones and it just wasn't cutting it. Then I used ziplock bags and envelopes. Finally I have something that WORKS awesome (I used it at Walgreen's today in fact). I was working on it while Tristan was in karate, all of the other moms were in aww...I had my label maker and everything. Well, probably 6 hard hours later she is done. (I think I may need a LARGER binder in the REALLY near future) But it is nice to be so organized. Tristan made me a label that says "mamma's coupons" how sweet....I really think he just wanted to play with the label maker though...lol

I made little label tabs for the sides to help me be more organized. Hopefully Kmart will be a breeze with this little tool :D

YAY More CHEAP Soy Joy bars!! $0.48 before tax!

Sooo... apparently the 2/$1 Soy Joy deal at Walgreen's is good until the 25th. So, I got some more B1G1 coupons and headed on over there. I got 50, yes 50 bars (they are REALLY good) 1 Chapstick and 1 Fiber Choice Tablets all for $1.95!!!!! They have 4 flavors at my Walgreen's and let me tell you they are ALL yummy!


WHOOO HOOO!!! And to top it off I got a $2 RR and a $2.50 RR to buy more stuff!! Everything I got came to like $0.04 each! I used 25 B1G1 coupons, 5 $2/10 coupons and two RR from the Colgate toothbrush and the Edge Shave gel.

I saved $74.50!!!

ONLY $1.95 OOP ( that is a little over the price of just 1 BAR!)

Holy smokes, I just really looked at my receipt and my total was $0.48 before tax ROCK ON!

Walgreen's 4/13

I made a quick run to Walgreen's on Monday and forgot to post it. I did spend $15.82 OOP BUT I got back a lot of RR. I did 2 transactions to help minimize OOP costs.

Here is what I got:

2 Bounty Basic $0.95 used $0.25 manuf cpn
1 Scrunci Elastic Bands got $2 RR
3 Jalepeno Almonds (filler) $3/3 and hubby likes them & ate one before the pic
1 500 ct Q-Tips $2.99 used $0.30 manuf cpn
2 Caress Body Wash used $1 manuf cpn
3 Vaseline Lotions $2.69 used $1 manuf cpn
1 Colgate Max Fresh Toothbrush $3.29 used $0.75 manuf cpn
2 Edge Shave Gels $3 RR each
St. Ives Scrub clearance $2.99 used $1 manuf cpn
St. Ives Elements clearance $3.29 used $2 manuf cpn
Glade Fragrance Candle $9.99 used $4 manuf cpn & $3 ES cpn
2 Axe Shower Gels 2/$10 used 2 $1 manuf cpn got $3 RR
4 Lean Cusines (I forgot to take them out for the picture...oops) clearance $0.99 each



So after my transactions I had the $6 RR, the $3.50 RR & the $2 RR. I probably could have done more transactions to keep OOP lower, but I was in a hurry and ended up using them today when I got the other greats deals so I am fine with that :)
