Love my peeps!

I just want to give a big shout out to all my friends. In no specific order you know who you are, The Burney Bunch, Stine-Bean(steen pronounced), CECE BUCH, My Mexican Clan (gabby and group), EagleBizBoss, and all the ladies who take my coupons with such amazement and patience. I love all of you, and hope you continue to read my blog and tell me how I can help you save money. It is my pleasure and I hope you learn and maybe profit a little. With gas prices so high, we can barely visit. Lets save money on the things we use everyday so we can travel to see our loved ones. Leave me a message on my blog please. Tell me what you saved, lets show the world or a small part of it how we do things.

My favorite,,,, CVS

I have to post this quickly,,, but this is GREAT!

6X8 Kodak photo album, take your digital prints and get them made on the spot at CVS. Use their Kiosk to make a cute layout for this awesome little book. It is 7.99 and you get 7.99 back in rewards. You can do this twice. A few weeks ago there was a 3.00 off coupon, which I happened to save for just this type of deal. I also used the 3/15 coupon that I found at http://thecentsiblesawyer.blogspot.com under her CVS blogs, and the 2off beauty products also found on her site. She also will tell you where to find a coupon for 4$ Airwic Freshmatic Ultra Mini air Freshner Kit.

Photo album 7.99
Airwic 4.99
CVS hand 1.49
soap
filler .53
----------------
15.00
airwic 4.00
cvs 2.00
album 3.00
ECB 1.00
3/15 3.00
___________________
2.00 plus tax OOP (out of pocket.)

ECB's earned 7.99!

I am laying it out for ya! Now go get your coupons and get to shopping! You too can find these deals, and my ladies at CVS are so sweet, and patient when they see me coming!

Walgreens Razor Sharp

Walgreens has Schick Quattro Razors on sale for 4.99, and Schick Xtreme 3 for men on sale for 4.99. In the 7-13 insert there is a B1G1 Free coupon, and about 3 weeks ago there was a coupon for 2.00 off any Schick product. Walgreens also has a coupon that expires 7/26 for 2.00(limit one).

Review
4.99+4.99-4.99-2.00-2.00=.99
With tax I paid 1.18.

Not bad for two packs of Disposable razors. These are nice razors, with multiple blades and strips for moiturization. Stock up!

Rite Aid is ALLRIGHT!

Thanks to the Sunday paper, and Rite Aid I was able to stock up on several different FREEBIES.

Vive Shampoo and Conditioner B1G1 (riteaid special) B1G1 7-13-08 Newspaper plus 1.00 off coupon.
Advil 20 ct. Geltabs 4.69 In the Rite aid weekly ad there is a 4.00 off coupon, this can be paired with your 2.00 off coupon in the 7-13 insert.

Electrasol geltabs 3in1 on sale for 2.99. In 7-13 insert there is a great, wonderful, awesome 2.25 off coupon! Plus Rite aid has a 2.00 Rebate on this item.

Lysol Wipes B1G1 (rite aid special) B1G1 7-13 insert, plus 1.00 off coupon from coupons.com if you buy 2.

Lysol Neutra Air aerosal spray B1G1 (rite aid special), B1G1 7-13 insert, plus 1.00 off coupon in a Sunday paper a few weeks back.(I didn't write down the date sry)

So lets review:
Advil 4.69-4-2= +1.31
Vive 4.99+4.99-4.99-4-99-1=+1
Electrasol 2.99-2.25-rebate 2.00=+1.25
Lysol Wipes 3.49+3.49-3.49-3.49-1.00= +1.00
Neutra Air Free plus 1dollar overage= +1.00

Now you have +5.56

Now you have to use fillers to close the gap on this, maybe you have a coupon for something else you need, you will be charged tax on most of the items. Remeber to get your total over what you have extra. A filler is something else in the store that gets your total back into, the negative number.
Rite aid has some wonderful specials and great opportunities to save you money, with hundreds of rebates.

I look forward to the Sunday paper now, and any opportunity to save my family money while buying things we already use. I hope you can save some money too!

Kroger savings!

Today I really felt great about my Kroger shopping trip. My total balance was 176.08. My total savings.... $95.05. That was all in the same shopping trip. The Enterainment Book was a great source of savings today. It had 15% off coupon for the month of July. Along with my other coupons it really saved me a lot of money. Of course I used this one first to maximize my savings, and then I used my coupons. Total 30.55 in Mnf. coupons, 1.95 in doubles coupons, 62.55 in store coupons and kroger plus card savings. That included my 15% discount with the kroger coupons. The coupon paid for the whole book, which was free with my 2009 order, and there are so many other great coupons to take advantage of before this year is over. Not only did I get two weeks or more worth of groceries, I got a Venus Razor (ecoupons and sunday incerts), Toilet paper, two packs of batteries(duracell), Johnsons Baby soap, Downy Fabric Softner and much much more. Look for the savings! Save your money for a rainy day, or a sunny vacation. It is so easy! Your family will appreciate it, and you will find yourself being able to buy NameBrand Items that you normally would not have purchased.

You can print it twice. It is on sale at Riteaide 2/4
Use both coupons and they are free.
Herbal Essence Shampoo 2/5. $3 coupon in this weeks P&G Sunday paper.
Riteaide will also give you a rebate online for the additional $2.
So once again FREE!!!
They also have ALWAYS pads on sale B1 get one half off. There is a coupon in this weeks paper for B1G1, I think this will work together, and you may even be able to find another coupon from a few weeks ago for always and get a discount on the second item. If you use coupons you can probably follow this advice. I am still learning myself and will try in future posts to be more clear.

There is a coupon for $2 off ribbons body wash, and it is on sale at Ingles for 2.98, this stuff smells so good, It is by Olay. So for .98, you can indulge in some smell good.

In last weeks paper there were coupons for Duracell .75, Also you can load up your Kroger card on P&G's ecoupons where there is a $2 coupon, The batteries are 2 packs for $6, Kroger will let you buy one pack for $3, so you could get a pack of batteries for .25! Who doesn't need batteries!
Another good deal on the E-coupons is for the Venus Razor, In this weeks Sunday paper there was a $2 off coupon, and your e-coupons will give you an additional $3 off. Thats a savings of $5. Wait until they go on sale and you could get it practically free.

I hope this helps some of you out there save a little money on the items you already use, or just to help you stockpile a bit.
