Easy breezy beautiful , FREE covergirl cosmetics at Rite Aid

 
 I took a short break from Rite Aid shopping since the deals were not all that good but I have to say that they have been coming up with some "I just can't pass that up" deals lately. I went there yesterday and got the following items for a whopping $1.93 plus tax $2.18 = $4.11 Out of pocket (oop)

1. The Covergirl face cosmetics were on sale for Buy one get one (bogo) and I had a buy one get free coupon from P&G 2/07/10. This make both items FREE
2. The Trident gum were also bogo, regular price 1.49 and I had .75 coupons from SS 2/07/10 which also makes them all FREE
3. The Pampers were 9.99 and I used a $2 off 1 coupon from PG 2/21/10 
4. The Pampers wipes were 2.49 less $1.00 coupon from P&G 2/07/10

I have a $5 Riteaid rebate check and a Riteaid $3 off $15 coupon as well. If I had the $5 off $25 Rite aid coupon my total would have been $2 less but no need crying over that lol. 

Don't forget that you can get a raincheck if an item is out of stock.

You know I don't have a baby but I know someone who is about to so the diapers and the wipes will be great gifts.

Happy shopping

Staples deals this week

 
You know that we go through a lot of printer paper when working with printable coupons and shopping lists. Staples has this deal going on now that I would not miss, each time they have this I make sure I buy the limit 
Hammermill Printer Paper 500 sheets $1 (after easy rebate - done online)

You will pay about $5.99 per ream of paper, take you receipt and go to www.staples.com rebate center to put the information into the system. In a few weeks you get a check in the mail that you can deposit into your bank account. I usually keep this money to buy other items that they have on rebate again.

I have dry erase boards at home so I also picked up
2 - Quartet EnduraGlide Dry Erase Marker, $1
2 - Dry Erase Board Eraser, $1

These you do not have to submit a rebate for, they will ring up $1 at the register.There are a few other items on their flyer that you can check out, but these are what I found to be the best deal for me.

Happy Shopping

P.S. Make sure you get a Staples Rewards Card from the cashier.

Hurry to Kroger for your flour before Saturday

There is a great deal on flour at Kroger that you all mest get ... if you use flour that is. The 5lb bag of flour is $1.49 and there is a 0.75 cents coupon available which would make each bag .75 cents each. Not a bad price for flour at all. You will need to get them by this Saturday night 3/6/10

Here is a link to the coupon you will need to go through the pages to find it and print. If you have any issues let me  know.

Paying your car insurance in full saves you money!


Ok ... the ever present coupon queen in me, makes it very hard to let go of $652, even if it is for our car insurance. I used to think however that paying monthly was great because I  did not have to let go of  a lump sum all at once and let's face it most of the times we do not have that kind of spare change just lying around. Needless to say I am a convert to paying in full. Here is an example of how much you could be saving by paying you premium in full:

[]
Payment options
[]
Total cost

Pay in full
and save an additional $108.00

$544.00 total cost for 6 months

Automatic payments from your checking account
(includes $1.00 fee per installment*)

Pay $113.69 now, then 5 installments of $101.06
$618.99 total cost including fees (includes $43.00 discount)
[]

Pay installments by Web, phone, or mail
(includes $5.00 fee per installment*)
[]

Pay $113.69 now, then 5 installments of $113.67
$682.00 total cost including fees

As you can see paying in full (we do this online via a card that gives us 4 points per dollar) saves an extra $108. This is every 6 months so over $200 per year. Check with your insurance company what options are available to you.

Happy hunting

Ok .. this is what less than $20.00 got me at Publix today. I  spent about $7.00 on the 2 boxes of soymilk and syrup alone, without those my total would have been lower.

This coming weeks sale is also a great week to stock up on frozen veggies for FREE.

The picture is not clear so here is the list

12 - Bags of Birdseye frozen veggies
