Late post, sorry

Went to Walgreens on Sunday. Got the free stuff from the ad. Nothing too interesting, except the service. Here is what happened. I did two orders with the chapstick and blister spray. I also had one pair of socks in one of the orders. I then realized that I forgot something. I went back through the store to get a couple cans of the tuna and craisins. Also, I bought the Pepsi that was on sale with RR's. I wanted to do the transactions separately, to use the RR's on the tuna and was told that I could only do 3 transactions a day. I pointed out that my orders were on different products. I was not even buying any of the same items. She still said I could not do that. Hmmmm. I asked her how that made sense. How could I not be allowed to go into the store and buy products. I could see if I was trying to purchase the same item over and over in separate transactions. It is a good policy to regulate people from shelf clearing. However, not being able to shop for other items? Does not make sense to me. I was not too happy. She said she would do it this time, but it was not allowed. Now I know why I usually go during the week with my "regular" people working. Grrrrr.

Jewel

Just a heads up, fruit snacks are on sale at Jewel this week. Don't know if I am going to do it, as I have many, many boxes. Also, lots of times, the fruit snacks go on sale for $.99 a box, making this deal a real steal, but if you need them and don't want to risk missing out, here it is :

Buy 4 Betty Crocker fruit snacks, get a $2.50 catalina. The fruit snacks are currently on sale for $1.50 a box when you buy in quantities of 4. Buy 4 boxes for $6.00, get back $2.50, total OOP is $3.50. You can print up $.50/2 coupons on coupons.com and smartsource.com. Use 2 coupons and your OOP is $2.50 for 4 boxes of snacks.

Didn't pay for the babysitter, but ...

WalMart today:

3 crystal lite pure water boxes($1.97)
4 Dentyne gums($.96)
2 Johnson's mini lotions($.99)
1 Johnson's q-tips($.97)
1 carefree liners($.97)

I had 3 $2/1 crystal lite(from vocalpoint.com), 4 $1/1 gum from 6/13SS, 3 $1/1 Johnson's, 1 $1/1 carefree from 4/25SS, 1 $2/1 razor, 2 $1/1 sponges IP. My total was $17.32. After coupons, I MADE $.68.

Jewel:

8 8-packs of Aquapod 11 oz water bottles($1.99)

I had 4 $1/2 from 5/16 RP and preferred price was $1. So, $4.08 for 64 water bottles.

Give me a break, give me a break....

Yes, I am talking KitKat's here! Here is what I got yesterday, to my kid's and husband's glee.

Walgreens:
4 8-pack packages of KitKats($1.50)
3 8-pack packages of Recess Peanut Butter Cups($1.50)

I used the in-ad candy coupon, making each package above $.99. My total was $7.11. I then got back a $5 RR from Hershey's. My total: $2.11.

For me, I got:
3 Hershey's York peppermint pieces(which I am in love with!)($2.99)
1 8-pack package KitKat($1.50)

I used the in-ad coupon for the KitKat. My total was $10.61. I then got back a $5 RR from Hershey's. My total was $5.61. Not the best, but worth it for me. The cheapest I have found the pieces candy is $2.50 each at WalMart or on sale. Since I must have them after dinner every night and I go through at least 3 bags a week, I decided to do this. It is the "healthy" dark chocolate after all!

Was it worth taking 3 kids?

No, but we needed a much needed new toy break! Okay, here is what I did today.

Walgreens:

Transaction 1:
1 Renu contact solution($7.49)

I was looking for the Huggies diapers deal, which I read on jillcataldo.com, but I did not get a $3 off Huggies from my CVS card. The deal is as follows, in case your CVS spits out the coupon at the self checker. Buy 1 box Huggies(56-96count) for $19.99, get $9.99ECB. There is a IP for the diapers for $3. If you get the coupon from CVS, use it too. The diapers end up costing $3.99. Again, did not work out for me.

So, total for today, I MADE $.12.

Also, when I bought the Jergens, they were in the spot of lotions that were $4.59. I thought I got those, and was surprised when they rang up as only$1.99 each.) So, free lotions.

I did not need the razors, as I have a container full, but I really like these and they were only $.49, so I splurged!

In a second transaction, I got 3 boxes of Ziploc baggies. They are on sale for $1.99 each. I had a $1/2 from 5/16SS and $.40/1 from 5/16SS. My total was $5.17. Ziploc has a $5 rebate when you buy 3 of their products. I will send away this, making my total $.17.

Unexpected trip

Well, I was not planning on going to the store, but my biggest boy wanted corn dogs. I don't like them, but he has been asking for a while, so we took a quick trip. While there, I happen to notice the Breakstone sour cream was still $.99. So, I bought 5. Total $5 and change. I had 2 $1/2 coupons(Dom) and 1 $.55IP. I MADE $2.50. With the corn dogs, I was out $.53. Not bad!!
