I'm so excited...n I just can't hide it...

So I had ordered some coupons off of eBay last weekend for the ALL laundry soap and the Quaker Rice cakes. I figured that both would be great items to stock up on. Well, the coupons arrived today and I went with ad's and coupons in tow to Walmart (as I figured that Walgreen's would be out of rice cakes this late in the week and heck why make 2 trips.)

Here is what I got:

10 ALL small and mighty Free and Clear 50 oz. $6.97 each
10 ALL small and mighty scented 50 oz. $6.97 each
10 Quaker Rice cakes cheese flavor $2.00 each
5 Quaker Rice cakes chocolate flavor $2.00 each
5 Quaker Rice cakes caramel flavor $2.00 each

Total BEFORE coupons and price match: $179.40

Total AFTER coupons and price match....


$17.30!!!!!



Oh yeah oh yeah!!

(I used the Big Lots ad for the laundry soap and the Walgreen's ad for the rice cakes, I also used the $2/1 ALL coupon and the $0.75/1 Quaker coupon )

Happy Shopping!!

Neutrogena clearance @ WAGS!


I ran into Walgreen's yesterday and as I was zipping through the isles I noticed that they had several different Neutrogena items on clearance. THESE WERE NOT BY THE OTHER MAKE UP!! They were hanging on an end by the cosmetics counter. They had foundation and mascara bonus packs (they included a face lotion/moisturizer with SPF). I picked up the mascara pack because it was $4.49 AND here's the kicker...the Feburary issue of ALL YOU has a $3 off any Neutrogena make up...making it only $1.49...yay....

Don't forget to enter!!

Pick n Save has some pretty decent deals this week especially on meats. There was LOTS on sale for around $3 or so normally closer to $10.

Yo Plus is B1G1 for $2.45 (only $0.45 for 2 after doubled coupon)

All Holiday items are now 75% this includes the cookies, creamers, kleenex etc. (there are several manufacture and IP coupons to pair up with these items)

Tornados are B1G1 and if you have the B1G1 coupons still from signing up to be a Facebook fan that is 2 packs for FREE (sweet)

Oranges are 2/$4 (which is a good price and I don't think we will be seeing oranges for awhile due to all the poor weather so I would get some while I could)

Campbell's Chicken Noodle and Tomato soups are 2/$1 use the $1/4 IP coupon or the one from the paper 2 weeks ago to get them cheap!

Happy shopping!!

If it is not there by Friday they said that they will give me my $17 back...all this because I forgot a stinkin coupon...

Sometimes I wonder...

A few things that happened to me over the weekend....
As I was preparing the bills for the monthly paycheck I went over to the cork board to check out the amount for the insurance policy (we switched carriers because WI's new laws made our other policy sky rocket) anyways the original amount was reasonable so we switched. Well my husbands company decided that they were going to change his monthly pay date this year from the 15th of every month to the friday closest to the 15th...NOT COOL....since we have some direct debits....WELL this is when the change happened. It shows the same 6 month premium total BUT the monthly debit was raised $17.76...NOT in my world...so I will be calling them tomorrow and telling them it needs to be corrected or we will be taking all of our business elsewhere.

Moving on...my mishap with Walgreen's and my forgetting the coupon is turning out to be more of a hassel that one would have first assumed. I checked my card today and the second mistake was return to my card BUT the $17.00 that the manager said would never show up on my card is still there and there is NO refund in site! I will have to return there tomorrow and look for my cosmetics cashiers and have her call this manager to fix the problem...we are talking $17.00 here! You know what I can buy with that???

Lastly, I went in the other room to grab some changing supplies for the youngest and the oldest comes in the room and goes "Uh oh mom..." now we all know that is NOT good. See the youngest has severe eczema so we have LOTS of creams and most importantly Aquaphor...now if you have ever used that product you know that it is very greasy (but that is what helps moisturize so well) The beastie got ahold of this lovely stuff and COVERED the desk, our house warming invitations, the antibacterial bottle, the computer mouse, mouse pad, house phone and of course himself....THEN I WENT TO BED....ugh

LOTS of Sally Hansen Clearance @ Wags!!

Does anyone know of any coupons for Sally Hansen products out there?? I was in WAGS the other day checking out in cosmetics and happened to turn around while I was waiting for the manager to come and fix my receipt. Well nearly their WHOLE WALL of Sally Hansen items were marked on clearance all around $1.79 from footcare to nail polish they had a TON of awesome items. I also noticed that they had Listerine on clearance and there is a $2 off in ad coupon. Which would make the listerine $0.79 unless of course you had a manufacture coupon which would most likely make it a money maker!! Check the store there are massive markdowns and great deals to be had!

Note to self...

Dear Self,
Nice attempt at "trying" to take Mookie with to do lunch at school. As much as all of the other kids enjoyed his olympic sprints through the lunch room and hallway as you were trying to clean the tables and keep order it just wasn't as productive as one would have hoped.

The trip to Pick n Save and Walgreen's did not turn out as intended either. For the simple fact that you forgot 2 WAGS coupons which came to the grand total of $16.80...smooth move ex-lax...yes you did have to wait for a manager to come and correct the it the first time AND then return to the store after picking up Tristan in quite the doozy of a snow storm...

LESSON LEARNED....DON'T BRING MOOKIE IN PUBLIC....check...

(*sigh*)
If I had a white flag I would have hung it today...Mookie won...I was defeated by a 2 year old....

Snapfish

So....I signed up for a new Snapfish account the other day on Dec. 31st and received a $10 credit in my account. I thought this was pretty cool and wanted to get an address book, then I also saw that I got 50 FREE prints (after I contacted them the first time...COOL...so I uploaded my Christmas pics and went to town. Then when I went to check out I saw that my $10 was gone. Apparently their system said it was the 5th yesterday but it was only the 4th...so I proceeded to contact the LIVE CHAT...the first person told me to get my cart ready and contact them again so that they could manually take off the $10....SWEET...so I spend the next hour creating and what have you and then I contacted the LIVE CHAT again and this person was not as user friendly. They tried to tell me that I had to pay full price and then they would refund me....ehhh NO!

FINALLY they fixed it and all was well in the world again :) Persistance does pay off!

Tomorrow I may have to get some newspapers

So I am running LOW on newspaper coupons...why you might ask...well I have not bought any since eh October-ish...I have seriously taken a step back from the "gotta coupon" every moment of my life...I have been more so getting deals from the IP coupons and onces that were mailed to me. I still have been getting some sweet deals, but I think that it is time to go out and replenesh the stash...MAYBE just MAYBE even put them in the "binder". I say it that way because all of the girls at my Walgreen's tell everyone about the "binder" and how awesome it is. (Well thanks guys) I have even had some older people tell me that it was fantastic...(thank you also) They really are quite convient if you have them organizer properly. Though I think that this year I may down size from the 4 inch (yeah I said 4) to the 1.5 inch that hubby bought me for our anniversary...which by the way was VERY sweet of him. At least he is starting to take this coupon thing seriously...lol


OH btw there are supposed to be 5 inserts...this was the motivating factor to go get some :)

Cafe Steamers $0.78??

I have to run out to get some Yoplait and cheese in a little bit and I heard that the Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers were priced at $1.78 which after the $5/5 coupon would make them $0.78 they are good and I will take that :) I also wanted to check and see if they still have the Merry Madagascar plates, cups etc left because that is the theme of Mookie's birthday next year if they still have some...hey I can get away with it since his birthday is the day after Christmas!

It's my birthday ....phewey

I knew this day would come. Personally I do not feel any older than when I went to bed last night which is a plus. BUT I did check out the "smile lines" a little more thoroughly than usual...with a sigh I might add. My husband came into the office and asked me if I wanted him to make me breakfast to which I replied, "No...BUT you could wash the dishes for me..." (thanks for the idea CJ) and he AGREED...well Happy Birthday to me after all!
