McCormick pure vanilla

The McCormick pure vanilla is $4.99 and on sale for BOGO. I bought 2, used 2 $1.50/1 coupons(from the Dominick's save $60 book), and got 2 for $2. Great price for pure vanilla extract!

I also got 2 boxes of Manischewitz Chicken Broth. They are on sale for $1.50. I used 2 $1/1 from 11/07 RP to get them for only $.50 each. I just used my last Progresso chicken broth from about 2 years ago, so I needed some replacements.

Chex MIx deal

Walgreens deal on Chex Mix
They are on sale for $.99 each. There is a national catalina deal on Chex Mix, when you buy 3, you get $1.50 catalina, buy 4, you get $2.50, buy 5 or more, you get $3.50. So,

I bought 5 bags. I used 2 $.50/2 from the 12/5 GM and 1 $.50/1 IP(no longer available). I spent $3.58 and got back a $3.50 RR, so 5 bags of Chex Mix for almost free!

Happy Holdays!

Not too much to write about. I did get some free Reach toothbrushes and dental floss from Walgreens. They are on sale with the coupon from the ad for $.99. I bought 3 and used 3 $1/1 Reach from 10/10 RP, so 3 for free!

Hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! I am sure there will not be any super good grocery deals this week, but it is my favorite shopping time. I got most my kids gifts last year at that time for this year and saved about 80% on everything! From December 26-January 20th, you can get some super cheap toys and gifts for next year. I will keep you posted as to my finds.

My comical Walgreens experience

So, I went to Walgreens today. Wanted the Goody hair barettes and holiday money holders, as well as a couple other things, like tuna and pop. As I tally in my head, I am up to about $19 with my first items. So, I think, if I spend $6 more, I will get a $5 Jingle Cash for spending over $25. Had to do it. I added in the Walgeens Energy Orange supplement which was $3 with $3 back. I was going to add a couple small bags of pretzel M&M's for my son, who loves them, and passed a sign for the big bags being 4/$10 with $5 back. That was almost as much as the small bags were. So, I bought the stuff I needed, which I will list below, eventually here. When looking at my receipt, it came to $37.36, and I got back $28 in Jingle Cash. Didn't look right. I realized that the cards rang up as $.99 each, and not 3/$2, even after I gave the girl the coupon from the ad. Not too different, but still $2. So, I go to the desk and after much figuring out, get back $2.08 for the difference. Now, I go to the car, and on the floor are 2 $1/2 coupons for the M&M's. So, back in I go, for another $2 off. Now, my total came to $33.28, with $28 back, so my total for all my stuff was $5.28. Here is what I got, finally.

4 pretzel M&M's $2.50 each with $5 Jingle Cash back
3 diet Dr. Pepper 2 liters $.89 each with in-ad coupon
2 walgreens aluminum foil $69 with in-ad coupon
8 gift sacks 8/$1 with in-ad coupon
6 x-mas money holders 3/$2 with in-ad coupon
3 chunk light tuna $.69 with in-ad coupon
1 Goody barettes $2 with $2 Jingle Cash back
1 Activ-on $7.99 with $8 Jingle Cash back
1 Walgeens Energy C $3 with $3 Jingle Cash back

I got back 1 $5 JC for M&M's, 1 $5 JC for cards, 1 $2 for Goody, 1 $8 for Activ-on, 1$3 for Energy C, 1 $5 JC for spending $25. Total JC is $28. I had the 2 $1/2 coupons for the M&M's. My total OOP for everything above was $5.28.

Walgreens

This morning, I went to Walgreens to buy tissue paper. I got a little surprise money makes. Here it is.

I bought 6 Hallmark 20ct tissue paper. It is on sale with the coupon from the Walgreens ad for 3/$1. I paid $2.14. I then got a $5 Jingle Cash reward. So, I MADE $2.86. I went back and got 6 more, so total for the day, I MADE $5.72 for tissue paper I needed!

I'm back!!!
