Walgreens GREAT buy tonight

Okay, I took the little one and headed to Wags tonight. Couponing at Walgreens makes me a little nervous because, well, I am slightly intimidated by their cashiers as they sometimes give ya grief about the coupons. I took Benn on purpose because I hoped that having the sweetest, cutest little boy in my cart smiling, saying hello and waving to the cashiers would make them nicer to deal with! My evil plan must have worked as tonight was a good night for couponing! I had no problems scoring this terrific, totally legitimate deal: all the items pictured below cost me a total of $1.45 + tax!!!

Oscar Mayer bacon: normally $3.99 each, on sale Buy1Get1Free, used 2 coupons for $1.50 off = $.495 each

OreIda fries: on sale for $.99 each, used a coupon for $1.50 off two = $.24 each

Planters Trail mix: on sale for $1.99 each, used 2 coups for $1.50 off, used another WalGreens coupon for $.50 off each = FREE + $.02 overage

GRAND TOTAL = $1.45 + tax

Couponing Craziness!!

I have been super-couponing lately. And I love it!! Let me share with you some of my deals:

Target

• Huggies diapers: on sale for $8.50 each, minus $1.50 Target coupon, minus $2 manufacturer's coupon = $5 each
• Up&Up baby wash: on sale for $1, minus $.50 Target coup = $.50 final price, PLUS the wash had a $.75 off coupon for Up&Up wipes on it, which I needed, so it was pretty much FREE plus another $.25 off the wipes
• Johnson's Buddies bars of soap for kids: $.97 each, minus $1 manufacturer's coupon = FREE
• Connect 4 game: marked down to $10.09, minus $4 Hasbro coupon, minus $3 Target coupon = $3.09 final price (a birthday present for Luke!)
• Kid's Crest toothpaste: on sale for $1.49, minus $1 Target coupon, minus $.75 manufacturer's coupon = FREE and then some (they gave me the overage, which isn't a common occurrence)

Walgreens

• Colgate Sensitive toothpaste: on sale for $3.99, minus $1 manufacturer's coup = I paid $2.99 + tax, BUT I got a "Register Reward" for $4 off my next purchase, which I immediately used in my next transaction!
• SpiderMan toothbrush: normally $2.99, on clearance for $.75 - bought it for Luke's Easter basket figuring that the $1 coup I used on the Colgate made it pretty much free
• Reese's Dark PB Cups: on sale for $.49 - I tried to use a $.75 off coup (hoping for overage), but the cashier said I couldn't get it for free, but that he'd give it to me for $.01 (weird) BUT he gave me back my manufacturer's coupon, which I promptly took to WalMart (see below) = $.01 for the candy bar

WalMart

• Reese's Dark PB Cups: $.55, minus aforementioned $.75 coupon (adjusted down to $.55) = FREE
• Hungy, Hungry Hippos travel sized game: $5.24, minus $4 Hasbro coupon = $1.24 (Luke's Easter basket!)
• Colgate Whitening: $1, minus $1 coupon = FREE
• Reach Floss: $.97, less $1 coupon = FREE, plus $.03 overage
• Suave antiperspirant: $.97, less $.50 coupon = $.49

Wowza!!! And I have some more great couponing stories to share!!

One more time!

This is my new blog. I tried blogging once before... about my kids and family... I just looked at that blog and saw that my last post was in March of 2006. Well, that was a bit of a bust. Let's see if I am any better this time around. Keep your fingers crossed.
