Rite Aid- Christmas is Coming!



Christmas is coming! Yes I know it's only August, but when you can snag great deals like this, it immediately makes me think of the upcoming Holiday season.

3 Transactions yielded the following:

2, $25.00 I tunes gift cards
2, Pantene hair sprays-Missing from photo
4, C. Booth bath products (these smell delicious and they are FREE with the $6.00 in ad coupon found in this week's flyer!! PLUS get a $2.00 SCR, a $2.00 moneymaker!)
2, Dickenson's Witch Hazel-One is missing from photo (look for the one's with Mail in rebates attached)

Plus...I got a $3.00 Up reward to use next time from the pantene hairspray!

I noticed that the I tunes cards are selling for approx. $20.00 to $26.00 (yes for a $25.00 card), so I might sell one to make my money back, making the second card and everything in the photo absolutely free!

The C.Booth products are very nice and would make a wonderful gift. Just add a little basket or tie them together with some cellophane and ribbon and you're good to go.

Free Sobe at CVS


Update:
Above a photo of the Sobes I was able to snag this weekend (3 stores, I didn't wipe out anyone). All of them were FREE, I just paid sales tax, no coupon problems, not hassles. Gotta love CVS!

Have you been able to pick up your Free Sobe yet? This weekend I picked up 8 Sobe waters on sale BOGO at CVS. I used the BOGO Sobe Coupons I got playing the Sobe game here The coupons were even coded so that the cashier didn't have to enter the price (I love it when this happens).

8 Sobes BOGO
4 BOGO Coupons
= 8 Free Sobes (I just paid tax)

Plastic Storage Love


Plastic storage is an addiction to me. I joke with E that when we go to target he should keep me away from the storage/organization section of the store because I will want to buy everything. It's an affinity I can't really explain, except for I like to keep things organized. One of my very favorite movies as a child was Mary Poppins and not so coincidentally, in both Mary Poppins and the Sound of Music Julie Andrews was a lovable a neat freak! "A place for everything and everything in it's place".

Anyway, enough background story. I was walking the growl box today when I happened upon a sign that said, "recycle or free". I did a double take then immediately started scooping up as much plastic storage as I could hold while walking the dog. Luckily it was in my next door neighbor's "yard" (cement area)so I made a second trip. I recently bought a bunch of shoe box size containers (and now wish I hadn't), but holy cow I'm more then thrilled at this find. If I wasn't headed to work I'd wash all of them now so I could start organizing my stash of drug store purchases right away. In total there are about 40 different size boxes and baskets and organizers.

Most of the shoe box size containers still have the Bed Bath and Beyond sticker $1.99!! SCORE

Corporate Calling...I'm Bringing Coupons Back!



So I took the day off Friday to for a little R&R. During the day I made a "quick" trip to Rite Aid to pick up some of last weeks deals. Everything was going smoothly as planned until...the cashier looked at my two $10.00 Everlast coupons and told me, "you can only use one".

Now I frequently need to "educate" cashiers about their own corporate coupon policies, but this particular cashier wouldn't not hear it (or see it, as I bring my own copy of the policy for exactly this reason). The cashier called for the manager who also told me (even after seeing the policy)that her district manager said they were "losing too much money" so they are "cutting back on coupon use". She then told me that "they"(district manager) don't "interpret" the policy to mean that customers can use two coupons on a bogo sale.

I stayed calm while the manager went to the back to call her district manager. I explained "in a calm and appropriate manner" that it doesn't really matter what the district manager says, as I have a copy of Corporate's policy, but she was not able to hear this. While she called, I called corporate from my cell phone. Once I got the CSR I told her the situation and handed my phone to the cashier who then handed the phone to the manager.

They were gone for about 5 minutes, but when they came back the manager apologized (after both the cashier and manager repeatedly acted like I was trying to leave the building with a flat screen TV in my pants). The cashier even said to me, "You'd be getting 5 items for $0.76". I responded, "Exactly, that's why I use coupons". She then asked me if I worked for corporate, I didn't say anything, just smiled.

Long story short the manager told me that I was right and she was sorry for the "confusion". I concurred and responded, "I'm glad we're all on the same page".

I don't like to argue, but when I'm right I will be aggressive assertive until I make my point. I left the store with everything in the photo for just $3.20 (two transactions). Plus I'll get back a $10.00 scr on the sunglasses and a $3.00 scr on the secret for a moneymaker of $6.80! The moral of this story is, be assertive, if you know you're right, don't let cashier bully you into feeling like you're doing something wrong. The whole ride home poor E had to listen to me singing my best rendition of "I'm bringing coupons back..." Yeah I Lame, I know.

I'm Still Around and Still Shopping


Took a little break from posting (not shopping), because I've been so busy with work. Isn't it horrible when your job takes away time from your hobby? But I've still been managing to get a few great deals. Last week I was able to snag the Olay products at Rite Aid for a money maker and today I made trips to ShopRite, CVS, and Rite Aid.

Today I headed over to CVS to snag some of the sunscreen that's on sale. I was a little worried since it was an unadvertised deal (so I thought). But when I arrived my cvs actually had a tag on the shelf clearing stating that the 2oz size that retails for $2.19 IS included in the buy 2, get $5ECB!

RUN, DO NOT WALK, to Babies R Us!!



Update--I went back to Babies R Us to pick up some more BabyGanics. Please note that the manager does need to enter his/her "code" to make the transaction work. For some reason the registers let the cashier take off the dishwasher detergent, but would not let her take off the full price of the laundry detergent without the managers code (I'm wondering if there's a price limit for the cashier to safe guard the company, so the cashiers don't have the ability to put through high value coupons without a manager's approval? (the kit's were $19.99, and laundry detergent $14.99).

The manager (different one then last time) did question me and I did have to "prove my case" about why I should be allowed to use the coupon with the sale, but once I explained it (and told him that the dishwasher soap when through without any problem) he agreed and had the asst. manager enter her code. If you have the coupons, I'd say it's worth a try, the worst thing that can happen is they say no. I'd give corporate a call if your manager isn't agreeable.

Believe me you will be glad you did. First step, go to your local WalMart to see if you can find hang tags on BabyGanics products. The hang tags I had were bogo. Conveniently, Babies R Us is having a BOGO sale on BabyGanics products. Also don't forget to bring your 7th generation coupons for the bogo 1/2 off sale. If you're a regular organic shopper you know that most of these cleaners run $4-7 bucks a pop. My Babies R Us had them all on clearance for $1.99!!

Here's what I got:

1 box of seventh generation dish detergent $1.99
1 bottle of fabric softener (a little beat up but who cares) $1.99
2 Bottles of toilet cleaner $1.99 each
2 bottles of liquid dish detergent for dish washer $1.99 each
2 bottles of multi purpose cleaner $1.99 each
2 bottles of BabyGanics dish washer detergent $6.99 each
2 bottles of BabyGanics laundry detergent $14.99 each!
2 BabyGanics Essentials kits (these include a cleaner, air freshener, foaming hand sanitizer, dish soap, and bonus pack of wipes) $19.99 each!

Coupons:
3, $1.00 off any 7th generation product coupon
2, $2.00 off 2 seventh generation cleaner coupon (hang tags on bottles)
3, BOGO BabyGanics hang tags (found at WalMart)

Paid:

$8.75 ($3.77 of which was sales tax!), did two separate transactions so I'll submit for two 7th generation rebates (one of which I'll submit for my mom, Thanks mom!)

Total MADE (yes that's right I MADE money buying everything above):
$1.25!
plus $95.82 worth of free product (sale prices, not retail prices!!) I was so pleased with myself I was almost shaking when I got to the parking lot. Woo hoo!Now I can toss (donate) all of my old cleaners and switch to all organic yay!

Help Me, I Can't Stop Shopping at WalMart


If you've been reading for a while you probably already know that I have a love/hate relationship with WalMart. Love the prices and deals, hate their general business practices. But with deals this good, it's hard not to go:

Bought:
3 Hungry hungry hippo games @ $4.00 each
1 fabric softener $3.97
1 snuggle sheets $3.47
2 Monopoloy deal card games @ $3.00 each
5 Cans of mighty dog @ $0.57 each
2 Kiss nail art stickers $1.87 each
3 Clean and clear face wash travel size $0.97 each
1 Rimmel facial bronzer $4.28
1 Taco bell salsa $1.54
1 Bag of Starbucks coffee $7.48

Subtotal= $51.16!

Coupons:

1, Rimmel product for free from All You
1, $1.00 off taco bell salsa from All You
1, $1.50 off starbucks
3, $1.00 off clean and clear
2, $2.00 off kiss nail printable
1, $3/5 mighty dog
2, $5.00 off monopoly printables
2, $3.00 off All from this week's paper
3, $4.00 off hungry hippos printable from hasboro

Paid $6.22 ($2.75 of which was sales tax). I was really happy with this Walmart run because basically I got everything above for less then one package of starbucks coffee. And, thanks to another blogger I recently learned that you can take your empty bag off starbucks coffee into any starbucks for a free Tall coffee, who knew? And I've been throwing them away this whole time!

My apologies for all the terrible photos lately. I keep trying to take them at night and cannot figure out a good setting on my camera.

Who Said You Can't Coupon Shop at the Mall?


Here's proof that you can go to the mall and "shop" and not spend anything. Sunday E and I headed to the local mall to pick up a free pair of cotton undies and a free piece of Godiva Chocolate.

The Godiva is for being part of the Godiva Rewards club (just scan your card, similar to a cvs/grocery card) and pick a free piece from the case each month!

The undies were part of a VS mailing. I do have a VS credit card from years ago that I no longer use, but I'm pretty sure this mailing was because I'm a member of their "Pink club". When I think about it now, I could shoot myself in the foot for all the expensive underwear I use to buy. $10 bucks a pair, no more! I'll stick to my cotton freebies!

Amount spent OOP $ZERO!

$28.92 spent, $96.32 worth of Groceries!


People who say you should shop around for the best grocery deals are definitely right. We recently found that our local A&P (the smaller of the two in our area) has excellent markdowns on meat and baked goods on Sunday afternoon/evening. Last week I got a whole organic chicken for $7.00! This week I got a pound and a half of individually packaged chicken breast for $4.00, a huge Focaccia bread with roasted veggies for $2.00, a package of fried chicken for E's lunch $2.00 and a 12 pack of jumbo glazed donuts for $1.50.

After A&P we headed to ShopRite to get...
Free:
Heinz mustard and brown mustard
4 free boxes of Ronzonni pasta
3 free packages of Carolina rice
1 package of free Halls cough drops

Super Cheap:

4 packages of Sargento cheese ($0.49 a piece)
2 Tropicanna OJ ($0.75 each) using a bogo coupon and a $1.00 coupon
and 3, 7lb bags of Worlds best cat litter $6.99 each (used 3, $5.00 coupons) Not shown in photo

Plus:
Strawberries $1.99
Tangelos
Bananas
Asparagus $1.99 a pound
hazel nuts ($3.49 ouch!)

Total of both trips was $28.92, not too bad since I got meat and cheese and juice that all would have been pricey without discounts/coupons. Without coupons I would have spent $96.32, can you imagine spending $100 bucks for groceries for two people?

Disregard the shih tzu in the photo thinking "If I go in for the kill real quick, mom won't notice I'm eating her dinner".

Walmart $39.13 for $1.27! Free Golf Gifts for Father's Day!


I recently had a 2 hour conversation with my mother about all of my coupon shopping and all the great deals I've been getting recently. We hung up and about 3 minutes later I got another call from my step-dad. The conversation went something like this...

Dad:"Hi,how are things going?"
Me: "Oh pretty good, just hanging in there"
Dad: "How's the new job going?"
Me: "Stressful, but good."
Dad "So I've been thinking about your coupons and do you ever get coupons on like...golf stuff or car stuff?"
Me: "Umm, to be honest I don't really look for that stuff, but I could check to see if there are any sales somewhere, or maybe a rebate?"
Dad: "Alright, well if you find anything let me know"

So, this trip is for him!

Bought:

3 Veet hair removers @ $2.00 each (mostly for the overage with my $3 coupon)
3 Callaway golf towels on clearance for $1.00 each! (scan them, they were marked $2.00) (reg. $15.00 each!)
2 boxes of golf balls on clearance for $2.00 each (scan them, they were marked $7.00)!

2, $1.00 on any kotex product from samples in the mail

Paid
Out of pocket=$1.27!! I was so thrilled I almost did a little happy dance. I had to add two bags of candy to my order because my subtotal was negative! I've never had that happen before. I wish I had done a total beforehand (I would have bought something more useful then candy with my overage). The man behind me in line was amazed. It was a good day, and yes I can get good deals on golf stuff:)

Free Eukanuba Puppy Food! Plus Pet Deals



Recently adopted a puppy? Know someone that did? Want to make your local shelter very happy?

Here's the link to a coupon for $10.00 off any size bag of Eukanuba Puppy food! I bought a small bag on sale at Petco last week for just $9.99. I don't have a puppy and our little gray dog eats Blue Buffalo, so our local shelter will be getting this bag.

Blue Buffalo also has $5.00 off dog food and $3.00 off cat food coupons here and Cat's Pride litter is offering a coupon for a free bag of litter when you join their group on catster here I signed up a few weeks ago and got mine really quick. We use World's Best cat litter because it's all natural, so our free litter will also be going to our local shelter.

Have you scored any great pet deals lately?

Johnson and Johnson for FREE, $16.41 Money Maker!


So the Rite Aid I typically go to now knows me and they tend to believe me when I tell them things like, "yes, you can use a bogo coupon on a bogo 1/2 off".

Note: Transaction 3 would have cost $5.50 if I hadn't paid with a gift card, making the OOP $21.08, still a $3.92 money maker (even if you never bothered to submit for the Renpure)!
