Rite Aid Trip 01/06/10

Thanks to my soon to be seven year old son for this picture. This was my first trip to RiteAid in a while. I did not even have a 5 off anything coupon. I did not go to my fav store as yet either. On sale are the Stayfree pads for

"buy 1 get 1 free" I used that with the Stayfree buy one get one free coupon in this weeks insert to make both bags of pads free.

This deal is a must have folks. If you miss this one you will be very upset at yourself so hurry into the store. Most Rite aids only restock once every 2 weeks. You can also get a raincheck if they are out of a certain kind.

There is also a "Game of life" promotion going on, where you get a game board from the store and pieces for buying certain items. check your sales ad for more details.

Free Chips Ahoy at Walgreens

I went to walgreens today and did this deal.

Buy (2) 6oz boxes of Chips Ahoy at .99 each and get back 2.00 in RR which makes them free. These are great for snacks for the kids or a treat for the parent :-)

I did not have any coupons for these either.

Sunday's Walgreens Trip

Here is my first trip to Walgreens for today. Missing from this picture is 4 single AJC and 1 foil paper. I called several stores in my area and no one had the double stack of AJC so I had to get the single ones. I will check back on my way out later and also the mall to see if I can find some. I did the above in several different transaction but I will just list items, prices and coupons used.

4. Electrasol $3.49 - $2.50 (from todays SS insert) = .99 plus $1RR back. Remember that you have to do these one at a time if you want your RR to print

 8. Reynolds foil paper $1.79 - $1.00 mfr coupon from a small booklet that I found at publix last year plus a walgreens in ad coupon so they were free.

3. Dividers for .49 each

2. L'Oreal hairspray $1.29 - $1.00 mfr coupon found at the cosmetics register = .29 each 

4. Sunday single ajc $8.00

So my total was not so bad today for all this stuff.

3.49 x 4 = 13.96 - 10.00 = 3.96

1.79 x 8 =  14.32 - 8.00 - 7.20 = -88

.49 x 3 = 1.47

1.29 x  2 = 2.58

8 x 1 = 8.00

16.89 - 10.00 rr = 6.89 plus tax

Got back $4 rr

Jan 01, 2010 Walgreens Awesome Deals

There are a few deals going on in this picture and I am very excited about them. I will list them for you all. I went into Walgreens today to kill some time while I wait to meet with someone and also to get a box of perm, yes the one in the picture $5.99 no coupons just had a 5.00 & a $2 register reward from the bayer monitor & Cheerios deal. I hate buying something and not getting back a RR so when I know this will happen as it would here if I just bought the perm, so I started looking around the store for something to buy that would be inexpensive and give me back some RR.

As I passed the lotion section of the store I noticed a orange sticker(which means clearance) next to a bottle of Jergens lotion and a red tag stating that I would get $5RR for buying 2 Jergens items. The price on the 16.8oz "Soothing Aloe Relief" was 3.59 so I bought the 2 pictured for 7.18-7.00rr paid .18 plus tax then I bought the perm :-)

Here is the breakdown for the other items

1.Sara Lee Honey Wheat Bread found at a different store for $1.00 each

2. Jergens 12.5 fl.oz lotion 4.29 each buy 2 and use a $3.00 off 2 coupon found in the 12/06 SS insert. Total $8.58 -3.00 = $5.58 and get back 5.00RR. If you have rr you can use them with this deal to make it even better.

3. The Banana Boat sunscreen were on clearance for $2.12 and $2.74, there was a $2.00 off coupon on a few of the bottles in the store so really cheap sunscreen for this summer.

4. The L'Oreal items were $1.29 each and we found $1.00 off ANY L'Oreal coupons at the cosmetics counter.

I bought a few packs of bubble gum to help out the cashiers. They need to sell a certain amount so when I can I buy what is usually on special at their counter. The Jergens seem to be a monthly RR deal, I will check it out on Sunday and update the post.

Happy shopping all

Theme and Purpose for 2010

As this new year approaches, I am compelled to try something new this year. I do not usually make resolutions just set goals and try my best to get them accomplished. As a student of the bible I was drawn to the theme of  "Community Service" for 2010. We sometimes get so caught up in our own little world that we forget that God has a bigger plan for each of us. I think this year I would like to take a more personal approach to community service. Here is the plan and I hope you all will join me.

CHARITY begins at HOME

I know that we all have friends and family members that we see going through the valley and it seems like their storms are never ending. I have a few of those in my circle and feel compelled to help for a season. With tha persons permission, this year I will help out a different family for each quater of 2010. If they need food when I go shopping I will set aside a portion of my budget just for their household. I will teach them how to do what I do if they are willing to learn. Whatever THEIR need Iwill try to meet it or put them in touch with someone who can meet that need for them.

My hope is that at the end of the three months, someones life will be different (for the better) thanks to the power of the living God.

Pray about this and let God show you who your clients will be. I hope you will all join me in this and spread the word to others encouraging them to join as well. Imagine what we could accomplish.

Post a comment with you thoughts on this.

Have a blessed new year all.

Time to clean out your coupon files

Well it is almost 2010 and most of our coupons will expire soon. Make room for the new coupons by cleaning out the old ones. There will still be a few good ones left over from this year so check before throwing them out.

January 3rd papers will have 4 to 5 inserts so be ready for them. This is a great time to get a friend involved in saving money by couponing this year.

Happy Shopping
