Getting back in the groove, WAGS 9/05

I know I've been slacking lately, and not just on the blog! I haven't been buyin papers anBud getting the coupons either. GASP! I know I know, luckily I have most of the recent inserts (at least one copy of each) because my lovely grandmother saves them for me and passes them on, thank goodness! But I came out of hibernation today because I had $10 in RR's expiring today, so I decided to roll them. I was afraid that Wags would be completely sold out of all the good RR items seeing as there were quite a few free after RR items. Luckily they had EVERYTHING I needed/wanted and it turned out to be a fantastic run! Here's how it went:

8/12 CVS

I've decided that in addition to MY personal runs I will begin to post the deals for the week at the stores I frequent like: CVS, Walgreens, and Target so that everyone (if there IS anyone, lol) who follows can know the deals ahead of time and prepare for the week and just use my transactions as a sort of guideline or cheat sheet to check up on. Anyway, here are the deals I took part in today: spend $15 on selected candy (on sale for 2/$1) get back $5 in ECB's and Huggies 2/$18 get back $4 in ECB's. There's also a "hidden deal" in the candy aisle. The orange bags of Peanut butter M&M's that state "medium size" are regularly priced at $3.99 ring up at either .99 or .39. The first store I went to today had them for .99 so I bought one and the second store had then at .39 and I bought 2. So here's the transaction:

Bought:
30 2.07oz Snickers candy bars- 2/$1
2 packages of Huggies diapers- 2/$18
2 medium size bags PB M&M's- .39
SUBTOTAL: 33.78

$4 WYB 2 selected Huggies products
ECB's RECEIVED: $9

Spent: $11.82
Received: $9
Cost me: $2.82

8/4 CVS run

Royally screwed up this run. I had everything strategically planned out with 3 transactions and everything I would pay OOP and go off without a hitch. I should have known that something somewhere would go horribly wrong. They were out of some of the items I wanted, but then I thought I had found the correct item (turned out I was wrong) so the cashier fought with me that my total was correct when I knew it was higher than I wanted it to be so finally she turned the screen around so I could see it and told her to void some of the items. Trouble was she had already scanned in some of my ECB's so I was negative when she voided the items resulting in her voiding some of the ECB's and forgetting to give me back $1.98 of voided ECB's. Ick, I was too frazzled to argue with her though so I took my loss and left. Here's how they went down:

Transaction #1:

Bought:
2 Caliber pocket folders - .49/each
2 Caliber 70 sheet spiral notebooks - .99/each
2 Caliber 3 pack glue sticks -.99/each
2 Caliber stretchable book covers - .99/each
1 CVS brand asprin 100ct - 1.99
SUBTOTAL: $8.91

Used:
Free CVS Asprin CRT
AFTER COUPONS: $6.92

Paid:
$6.76 in ECB's
.53 on a CVS gift card

Received:
.98 (.49 x2) for folders
1.98 (.99 x2) for notebooks
1.98 (.99 x2) for glue sticks
1.98 (.99 x2) for book covers
= $6.92

Spent: $7.29
Received: $6.92
Cost me: .37

Transaction #2:

Bought:
3 30ct Visine Wipes - 3.99/each

= $9

Spent: $8.11
Received: $9
Profit: .89★

7/28 CVS Run

More school supplies are free after ECB's this week for the 3-day sale (Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.) I went last minute yesterday and had to bring Miss Molly because I didn't feel well in the AM. Had to purchase her a Hershey bar before I could shop in peace because she was screaming and trying to crawl out of the cart. I gave her half of the candy, she ate it and sat like a good girl the rest of the time. Finally I could think straight and picked up these items:

Bought:
1 CVS brand 10 ct Tampon- $1.89
2 2-packs Pilot Easy Touch retractable pens- $.99
2 Caliber 100sheet Composition notebook- $.99
2 Caliber 2-pack sticky notes- .99
1 Colgate Total Advance toothpaste- $2.88
SUBTOTAL: $10.71

Used:
1 $1.00 Colgate Advance coupon (7/12 SS)
AFTER COUPONS: $9.71

Paid:
$9.98 ECB's

= -.27 + .73tax = TOTAL .46 on CVS gift card

$1.98 (.99 x 2) for Caliber/CVS compostition book
$1.98 (.99 x 2) for Pilot EasyTouch pens
$2.00 for Colgate Total Advance toothpaste

Spent: 9.98 + .46
Received: 9.83

7/27 Target Trip

Got me a good moneymaker deal going on at Target today, I'm real excited! Kellogg's Poptarts are on sale for $1.52 (regular price $1.99) and Kellogg's has their "Fuel for School" rebate where you but 10 participating items receive $10 rebate. To get your rebate you'll need to create a Kellogg's account then go here to download and print, be patient though, I hear the form takes a minute to load. To make this deal ever sweeter there are .75 off Kellogg's Poptarts Target coupons that I printed from afullcup.com Target coupon generator, and since it's a Target coupon you can stack it with a manufactures coupon! There are .55 off one Poptart product in the 6/7 RP and .55 off one Blueberry Muffin Poptart on the website.

Smart Ones weight watchers meals are on sale 5/$9. On afullcup.com Target Coupon generator there are $1.00 off the meals and combine with this printable for $1/5 meals you pay .60 for each meal bought.

Also, the Softsoap Ensembles hand soap pumps and refill bases are on clearance for $3.00. There are $2.00 Target coupons on afullcup.com Target coupon generator making it $1 for the soap. A while ago there were tearpads for a $4 rebate when you buy 1 pump and 1 2-pack of refills.

And there is one more deal to report, in the toothpaste section of Target on the endcap there are packages of Crest Whitestrips trial size for $4.99. Inside the package is a $7 coupon that doesn't have any exclusions. The boxes aren't sealed very well so it's easy to take the coupon out prior to purchase to use it on that order. Be forewarned, the coupon DOES beep and says "Item not found," some cashiers don't have a problem hitting the K1 button to accept the coupon anyway and others will become bewildered and call a manager over in which case I would just say you didn't want the item because they will most likely not push it through. Here was today's transaction:

Bought:
10 Smart Ones Weight Watchers individual meals $9/5
10 Poptarts 8ct $1.52
2 Softsoap pumps $3.00
2 2-packs Softsoap refill bases $3.00
1 Crest Whitestrips trial size $4.99
SUBTOTAL: $50.19

Used:
10 $1.00/1 Smart Ones Weight Watchers Target coupon
2 $1/5 Smart Ones Weight Watchers
10 .75 Poptart Target coupon
5 .55 Poptart coupon
4 $2.00 Softsoap Target coupon
1 $7.00 Whitestrips coupon
AFTER COUPONS: $12.94

Receive:
$10 for Kellogg's "Fuel for School" rebate
$8 for 2 Softsoap rebate (will send one rebate to my parent's house)
TOTAL REBATES: $18

The rebates makes this transaction a $5.06 moneymaker.

Wal*Mart, maybe they're not so bad after all?

No, Wal*Mart still is as bad as they have ever been, but maybe they're starting to get the hint that people don't so much like them. They have 2 HUGE deals going on right now. First of all the regular price of Hefty One Zip storage bags either quart size (22 count) or gallon size (17 count) are $1.00. In the 5/17 RP there were coupons or $1 off ANY Hefty OneZip, making the bags at Wal*Mart, FREE!!! (There were also blinkie machines in vaious grocery stores that had the same coupon so be on the lookout, although rumor has it those machines came down last week.) The second deal that's going on now if for Pull-Ups flushable wipes. If anyone if familiar with the "CleanTeam" brand this is the new name for the CleanTeam wipes. In this Sunday's insert, 7/19 SS, there are coupons for $3/2 PullUps flushable wipes. The regular price for the soft packs (they also come in a hard container but those cost more so be sure to look for the soft packs) of these are $1.64, so buy 2 of the soft packs, use the $3/2 coupon and pay .28 OOP, or .14 a pack! I went to Wal*Mart today to use up the last of my Hefty coupons and to use some of my wipes coupons so the transaction went like this:

Bought:
3 Hefty OneZip gallon storage bags $1.00
4 Hefty OneZip quart storage bags $1.00
4 PullUps flushable wipes soft packs $1.64
SUBTOTAL: $13.56

Used:
7 $1.00 off any Hefty OneZip
2 $3/2 PullUps flushable wipes
AFTER COUPONS: .56

Ended up paying $1.42 OOP after tax for 7 boxes of bags and 4 packs of wipes.

I cleaned them out of the wipes so I will have to go back after they restock.

Helluva Target deal on SIPPY CUPS!

Earlier this week I was told by a lovely member of the coupon board that Target is clearance-ing some of their sippy cups. This is a great stoke of luck because they are the Playtex twist and click straw kind with prints on the actual cups (I will post a picture for everyone in this post) and the straw ones are the only sippy's Molly uses at home! The ones we have now we've had for a while and they're getting kind of, well....yucky. Earlier today I went to the Target closest to me and drats, they didn't have any of the sippies. They had the single versions of the cups, but those still rang up full price. I did however snag a cute pair of shorts for next summer for Molly for $1.50 in size 2T, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Then after I picked Molly up from daycare I made Target trip #2 for the day. It was to a Target a little further out there but boy oh boy was it worth my time! I found FOUR of the clearanced sippy cups. They are still shelf marked at 6.99 but ring up for, guess how much? $1.87! I bought all four packs, 2 girly ones and to more boyish ones. I was so excited, yay for new sippy cups!

Here is a picture of the elusive sippy cups. Remember, shelf priced for 6.99 or at some Targets I think it's 7.99. If you're still unsure you can use the little price checker things located in Target, they should show up on there at 1.87 if they are the correct ones. Happy hunting to all! (Thank you to Jen from the coupon board for the picture reference!)

Sunscreen Deal at Wags

Woo-hoo, second day in a row getting out and bargain hunting! Give myself a right ole pat on the back, lol. I let some RR's expire over the holiday, okay, ON the holiday. $11 worth of RR's to be exact expired on July 4th. I was nervous to go and use them but they didn't beep and the cashier didn't inspect them. Here was the transaction:

Bought:
2 Coppertone Nutrashield SPF 70 6oz sunscreen - 10.99 each
4 Pencils as fillers - 4/$1.00
SUBTOTAL: $22.98

Coupons used:
2 $5 off Coppertone Nurtashield sunscreen
TOTAL AFTER COUPONS: $12.98

Paid with:
$11 in RR's
and TOTAL OOP: $.98 plus tax

Received:
$10 RR WYB 2 Coppertone sunscreens

This transaction ended up "costing" me $1.98 because I lost an RR on the transaction and had to use .98 OOP, but I needed to roll the expired RR's. I will use the $10 RR to roll into the Huggies deal buy $20 worth and receive $5 RR because we are in need of diapers, though when aren't we? It's just a plus that I get a deal on it too!

Bargains at Last!

Arugh. Some personal issues in my life put my bargain hunting at a temporary halt, but I'm back and ready to roll. Those ECB's that is! CVS had a 3-day school supply sale this week running from Sunday-Tuesday, today. I dragged my sorry butt out of the apartment today to make a run. Luckily I rolled some EBC's not long ago because I thought all mine had expired on the 11th, but yay, they don't expire until the 23rd! Well anyway the CVS I went to was pretty well cleaned out but I did get some of the deals. I really wanted a pair of the scissors that were on sale but I couldn't find them and had to pick Mol up from daycare so I just passed on it. Here is my transaction:

2- .99 CVS brand "Caliber" notebooks
3- .99 8 packs Papermate pens
SUBTOTAL: $4.95

Paid:
4.97 worth of ECB's
OOP: $0

Received:
4.95 in ECB's for each item bought because they were buy at .99 get .99 back.

It's already come in handy because Molly had a blast with one of the pens and notebooks tonight. She looooves to draw.

___________________________________________________

On another note I had a garage sale with my "stash" last week. Ran from 9am-3pm Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Did okay for the amount of items in my stash, made a decent $230. Even tried selling pre-pregnancy clothes that I no longer fit into and baby clothes Molly grew out of but neither really sold, just strictly stash items. Fine with me! I began with so much stuff, like 2 Rubbermaid tubs and then bags and bags of other stuff. Now it all fits in the 2 Rubbermaid tubs. Now I just have to restock and resell once again!

Ahhh, Summer!

Woo hoo, thumbs up for summertime! Jon's little sister is here for the week to get her mind off everything that's happened at home. Jon took Monday off work (he seems to have this disease, some form of Monday-itis, quite crippling) so we decided to all go to the public pool! We had lots of fun, and of course Molly did too. She was shivering most of the time but she still wanted to splash and play! She's SUCH a brave little girl, scooting off the edge to Daddy or Jolene's outstretched arms. The only "bad" thing was the baby pool was soooo slippery on the bottom! The girl could NOT get her footing whatso ever and took a couple good dunks. They startled her but other than that she's just fine. We took TONS of pictures and I'll share a few of my favorite here for all of you to see.

Walgreen's

Finally made it out for a Walgreen's run yesterday. I fully expected them to be out of everything worth while, I mean it's a heavily couponed area and it was already Tuesday, 3 days into the sales. I was pleasantly surprised though finding enough of everything I needed to roll my RR's. First transaction went like this:

8 jars Ragu pasta sauce 2/$4
1 St. Ives Oatmeal Scrub body wash $2.99
1 Rolaids soft chew 18 ct Cherry $2.99
3 Right Guard Deodorants $2.99/each
3 Butterfinger Buzz candies $ .42/each
SUBTOTAL $32.21

Coupons used
3- .60/2 Ragu sauce
1- 1.50 St. Ives
1- 1.00 Rolaids
3- 1.00 Right Guard
and $6 for Wags Ad Q for .99 Right Guard (scan once, takes $2 off each Right Guard)
AFTER COUPONS $18.91

Paid with
4- $2 RR's
1- $10 RR
and 1.51 on a Wags gift card
TOTAL $19.51

Earned
$8 RR WYB 8 Ragu/Skippy/Hellman's
$3 RR for St. Ives
$2 RR for Rolaid's
TOTAL EARNED $13

NOTE: I had to buy the Butterfinger as a filler for my transaction. A filler is used when you have more coupons than items. The register will only accept enough coupons for which you have items for. Without the filler I would only have been able to use 2 of the RR's to pay, instead of the 5 because RR's are manufactuer's coupons. It doesn't matter how much or how little your filler costs it just needs to be there so the coupon can "attach" itself, so the cheapest item in the store makes a perfect filler.

I then went back for a second transaction:

Bought
3 Walgreens Reusable Shopping bags .99/each
3 John Freida Root Awakening hair care products 3/$15
1 St. Ives Oatmeal body scrub $2.99
SUBTOTAL $20.96

Coupons
3- 3.00 off John Freida
1- 1.50 St. Ives
and 1.95 for Wags Ad Q making bags 3/$1
AFTER COUPONS $8.51

Paid
$8 RR from Ragu
$1.77 on Wags gift card (1.28 was tax)
TOTAL $9.77

Earned
$5 RR WYB 3 John Frieda Root Awakening Products
$3 RR for St. Ives
TOTAL EARNED $8

Today's Bargains

So, someone (*cough*Christine*cough*) suggested that I keep up on my blog again and post about my daily exploits in the coupon world. So today was an awesome Target run, got 6 Glade Fabric and Air Refreshers, 8 Glade Scented Candle Tins, 1 2-pack of SoftSoap bodywash, and 1 2-pack of Irish Spring bodywash for $4.76 OOP (out of pocket). Not going to lie, that felt REALLY good! After being out of the swing of things for a couple of weeks what with school and then Jon's dad's passing it was a much needed bargain run. I'm also going to detail my transaction for any of you who are wondering "How?"

6 Glade Fabric and Air Refreshers @ $2.99/each
8 Glade Scented Oil Tins @ $1.67/each
1 2-pack SoftSoap Bodywash @ $6
1 2-pack Irish Spring Bodywash @ $6
SUBTOTAL= $43.30

Used 6 $2 TARGET coupon for Glade Fabric and Air = $12
2 $1 TARGET coupon for Irish Spring and Softsoap = $2
1 $1 Manu. coupon for Softsoap bodywash =$1
1 $1.50 Manu. coupon for Irish Spring = $1.50
8 $1.50 Manu. coupon for Glade Oil Tin = $12
also used 2 BOGO free Glade Fabric and Air, which actually bound to the WRONG Glade item and only scanned for $1.67, but I caught it so she scanned each coupon twice (it said free up to $4.29, so $3.34 is still under) for a total of $6.68 off on those coupons.
TOTAL AFTER COUPONS= $8.12

Paid with a $5 Target gift card because the Softsoap/Irish Spring deal is buy $2 get a $5 giftcard so I "rolled" by one gift card into another.
TOTAL OOP= $3.12 +tax and get back a $5 Target gift card.

I was TOTALLY psyched for this run! Hopefully I can get to Wags and CVS tomorrow for another Pampers deal (CVS, will post deal later) and the Dove RR deal at Wags.

Friday the effing 13th

So I'm not normally superstitious, but after yesterday's fiasco's I can't help but be.

On Thursday Jon comes home ranting and raving because they (meaning the university) towed his Honda. It had been sitting in one of the visitor parking spots for some time now because it doesn't work. He had been trying to fix it but to no avail, and I guess people in the complex had been bitching and whining about it sitting there. I'm sorry, but is there any reason you can't grow a pair and confront ME personally about the problem? Be an adult about it. Ugh. We had to call Jon's parents and they came down with the pickup and the trailer to get it out of the impound lot, for $133 no less. Ugh again. And here's the kicker, Jon took off work to help get it out of the lot, well, the front desk at BV gave them the WRONG ADDRESS for the impound lot!!!!! I thought Jon was going to get in a lot of trouble with the bitchy-boss but I guess it was okay. His parents took the car back to their house so at least the car's not MY headache anymore.

Then, we get up on Friday and realize that, hm, he's $18 in the NEGATIVE even AFTER HIS $270 PAYCHECK! Apparently Jon had written a check for $50 to the tool guy, told him not to cash it until Friday, BUT, stupid tool guy completely ignored his requests. Then the worst part is that we now have FIVE overdraft fees, FIVE! All for 37.50. But his account shows NOTHING ever in the negative! Even now, NOTHING was ever negative! Not even after his overdraft fees, because they came directly out of his paycheck. He went in to talk to the bank yesterday and argued with the personal banker because they were in the wrong with the overdrafts. He said that he would have to talk to the manager to see if they could get the overdraft fees reinstated. Well, Jon told them they either reinstate that money or he's closing his account and they won't ever get his business again. So far they have put ONE overdraft fee back in. OMG! Like THAT is going to make up for you poor business practices. We're over it. Even if they do put them all back the account is getting closed. Piece of shit banks.

On a good note, I did some more Daytona 500 deals! Woo-hoo! I did pay more OOP then I wanted to, but what keeps me going is that I paid less for 10 items than I would have for JUST the 2 packs of diapers I bought. My total after coupons was $19.20, and the total for the 2 packs of Huggies alone would have been $19.98. I also went to Target where the Gilette Fusion are on sale for $7.99, buy 2 get a $5 Target gift card. There are $4/1 coupons in the P&G from this past weekend which make the razors $3.99. So for around $9 I got 2 Fusions Razors and a $5 GC for future deals. Yay! That one was fun though because Jon went and did the deal, my bargain hunting boy! lol. I really wanted to do the BRU wipes deal this weekend and a couple RiteAid transactions, so I hope that the bank puts the money back in so I can do a BRU deal before the President's Day sale is done.

Sorry this is long, but a Molly sidenote too. My girl can eat, and eat and eat. She has a GREAT appetite and I have yet to find a food she will refuse, until now. She loves her veggies, carrots and peas and squash and sweet potatoes, LOVES the veggies. She's not a fruit girl though, she will eat bananas and apples, but not a whole lot more. I did get her to eat some blueberries though, alone and in a tofu smoothie. She likes avocados too, which is great because it's a superfruit with tons of nutrients. BUT...she HATES peaches! She will put them in her mouth, kind of lick it for a second, and then spit it right back out. The first time she did that I thought she was just getting used to it and I would introduce it a couple other times and she would be fine. Nope, they had peaches for lunch and snack (yeah, who thought of that? Same thing for snack as lunch?) and she would not eat them! She ate potatoes though for lunch and graham crackers for snack, but would not touch the peaches. Too funny.

Woo hoo!

Lately I've been trying my darndest to save money. And I have succeeded a little! I've been clipping coupons religiously and my parents, my grandma, and Jon's parents have been sending me some too. I've got a great little stash going on, and I've been trying to organize them, but there are so many! I have a 2" binder with 30 pages of inserts like you would use for baseball cards with different coupons tucked inside them. That fits some of my coupons, well most. But I still have a TON I have yet to cut up and store. I'm going to need another 30 or more pages! I also have a small checkbook size expandable binder that I use when I'm going to the store. I just take the coupons I'm going to use and file them accordingly so I have then all ready for when I check out. Now here's what I'm so proud of!

Kroger is having a Daytona 500 promotion, buy 10 of the participating items and receive $3 off your order at check out automatically. Here was my first run with corresponding coupons:

4 Chef Boyardee @ $0.88/can
2 Ragu Sauce @ $1.69/can
4 Betty Crocker fruit snacks @ $2.00/box
Total before coupons: $14.90
Take $3 off automatically for the Daytona 500 promotion.
Also I had a loadable coupon on my Kroger card for .50/1 Ragu from shortcuts.com.
I used .35/3 Chef Boyardee coupon (doubles so .70 off), a .75/2 Ragu coupon (doubles 1.25 off), and 2 .50/2 Betty Crocker fruit snack coupon (double so 2.00 off)
Total of coupons: $7.70
Total out of pocket: $7.20 for 1o items = .70/per item

That run also generated a 2.50/OYNP (on your next purchase) catalina because of the fruit snacks. The catalina promotion is buy 3 BC fruit snacks get 1.5 catalina, buy 4 get 2.50, and buy 5 get 3.50.

That run then rolled into the next one:
2 Multi Grain Cheerios @ $2.49/box
3 Chef Boyardee @ .88/can
5 BC fruit snacks @ 1.79/box
Total before coupons: $16.57
3$ off automatically for promotion.Had 2 loadable coupons for .75 off box of Cheerios (1.25 off total), 2 .50/1 Cheerios coupons (doubles, 2 off), 1 .35/3 Chef Boyardee coupon (doubles, .70 off) and 2 .50/2 BC coupons (doubles, 2 off) and used 2.50 OYNP cat from deal before.
Total of coupons: 11.70
Total OOP: 4.87 for 10 items= .49/item AND got 3.50 OYNP from BC catalina deal

On another note, is was 50 freaking degrees out today! When I finished my midterm and straightned up the house a little I went to get Molly and we took a walk. It was kind of chilly by 4 in the afternoon, but she had a little hooded jacket and a blanket. I had a sweatshirt and was fine. I took her our in her NEW stroller! We have a Peg Perego P3 stroller in Orange Revi. If you want you can look it up, it's so cute! I got it on e-bay for about $212 plus a matching diaper bag, a stroller rain cover, and a carrying bag. I know, so not a bargain, but I LOVE this stroller. It turns on a dime and stears like a dream. Jon really like the handles, now if we could only get them to extend like they're supposed to! Poo. Hopefully we can get that fixed. Also, it's a fullsize stroller but folds like an umbrella stroller. It's amazing, I can't say anything negative about it. Oh I think you're probably bored of my ramblings for one day, I'll just leave you with a little video of my precious girl!
