November Monthly Totals

I have to say ... This month was my best month yet! I spent $368.85 but got $2,076.32 in products!! That is over $1,700 in free stuff this month. That works out to be an overall savings of 83%!!

Wags 11/30

I made my weekly Monday morning trip into Wags this morning. I got all the above for $6.20 OOP. I was able to use $23 in previous RRs to pay down these items and got back $17 in new RRs to use later.

Now something to keep in mind. Some areas get a larger ad then we get here in my area so some of the deals that are posted on the blogs don't work in the smaller ad areas. So what I do is check that ad that comes in the Sunday paper (or you can check that ad in the store) to see if those deals you wanted to take advantage of are available. That being said, I always still check on deals that I don't see in the ad because sometimes they are still running but not in the ad. For example, the Village Natural bath items that are listed in THIS Hip2Save post didn't show up in the ad but when I went to the store I found that they were the same price listed and the RR does print. I also went ahead and did the deal on the kids toothbrushes listed in that same post even though they weren't in the ad. They were advertising the RR at the store (spend $10 in kids dental care and get back a $5RR) but the prices were slightly higher then listed in the post. But it was still a good price in my opinion and still worth doing.

Okay so ... Here are the details:

Kids' Dental Care (Crest Sesame Street Toothbrush, Zooth Character Toothbrush, Oral-B Stages Toothbrush or toothpaste 4.2 oz.) 4/$10 = $5RR
** At my store they were not on sale 4/$10 but they were $2.99 each. So here is how the deal worked for me

4 Zooth or Oral-B stages toothbrushes for a total of $11.96
Used four $1/1 coupons from the 11/1PG (expires 11/30)
**Hip2Save mentions using the Coloring book coupon as well but I have never seen those coloring books at my store.
Pay $7.96
Get back a $5RR
Final Cost $2.96 or $.74 each which I think is pretty good since good deals on little kids toothbrushes are much harder to come by.

4 Oral-B Indicator floss products 2/$5
Used four $1/1 coupons from the 10/11PG (expires 11/30)
Get back a $3RR for each two purchased.
Final Cost FREE!

2 Glade scented oil candle holders 2/$5 (many of the Glade products can be used in this deal)
Used two $2/1 coupons that I had gotten previously out of other Glade products. They often have coupons in their packages.
Got back a $1RR for buying 2.
Final Cost FREE!

3 Village Naturals Sleep or Stress Therapy (12.6 oz-20 oz. Shower Gel, Body Lotion, Bath oil or Soak) $3.99 each
Used three $1/1 coupon found here.
Got back a $2RR for each one (make sure these go in seperate transactions)
Final Cost $0.99 each!

3 Ecotrin 45 count $1.99 with in ad coupon
Used the $10 off 3 coupon from the 10/11RP
Use the $1.99 in ad coupon
Final Cost FREE + $4.03 to be applied to other items!
**Make sure to hand the $1.99 in ad coupon over AFTER the manufacturer coupon to avoid any beepage!
**Now this is one of those things where YMMV (Your Mileage May Vary). I got a checker today who adjusted my manufacturer coupon down to $5.97 to make these free but not give me any overage. I of course would've liked to get the overage but it's up to the checker to decide how to do it.

I also got 12 Christmas Gift Bags - 4/$1 to use as filler items.

As always, I use Hip2Save to keep up on the deals and plan my Walgreens trip. You can see her most recent Walgreens postings by going to Hip2Save.com and then clicking on the "Walgreens" link in the Store Specific list in the right hand column.

Wags on Black Friday!

Okay so anyone who knows me knows that I DO NOT GO SHOPPING ON BLACK FRIDAY! Period! But today we went out to lunch as a family and my husband wanted to get a Utah Utes shirt for the big BYU vs. Utah game tomorrow. I told him that there was no way that we were going to Walmart but that I would be okay with a trip into Walgreens. I didn't figure they would be super crazy this afternoon and they weren't too bad. I had a list of great Black Friday deals that are good only for this weekend that I wanted to take advantage of so we all made a little Wags run together.

Albies Doublers this Week

Sorry for the lack of posts this week. I am having technical difficulties with my computer. I have gotten onto my kids computer to do a little post.

There is an Albertsons ad in the Sunday newspaper with a set of three doublers coupons. Check out THIS AThriftyMom post for some ideas on how to use them. Or just use them along with coupons on items that you need for Thanksgiving this week. Remember you can go to couponmom.com (there's also a link in the blog list to the right) and put in your state and a keyword of a coupon you are looking for to find coupons for an item that you might need.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 software

Got an email from my friend Margie with a good deal idea for you:

"I also ran across another great deal for Christmas. Costco sends out coupons in the mail to costco card holders. One of this months coupons is for $30 off their Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 software (retails $79.99) and then on Adobe's website they offer another $20 mail-in-rebate. You get the $80 software for $30 after coupons and mail-in-rebate. Makes an inexpensive gift for those who love to edit their pictures. The only downside of this deal is that you have to be a Costco member and have your coupons they mailed to your home."

HERE is the link to the Adobe website with the rebate form.

(Thanks Margie!)

Disney Movies - Blu-Ray & DVD Combo Pack

I love Hip2Save! She really makes it easy to get good deals on everything, including things for Christmas gifts. I just did the exact same deal she posted about HERE.

If you're planning on purchasing the "UP" DVD combo pack once it's released, then you may want to go ahead and pre-order it on Amazon! Currently, you can score UP (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray] for just $19.99! Plus, when you purchase the combo pack, you'll receive $10 off the purchase of a second Blu-ray title from this list. Just enter promo code DISNEYBD at checkout to receive your credit. You must purchase both items together to receive the discount.

I bought the UP (4 Disc Combo Pack with Digital Copy and DVD) [Blu-ray] and Pinocchio (Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition + Standard DVD+ BD Live) [Blu-ray] for just $29.98.

We don't have a Blu-Ray player yet but I am sure we will get one in the next little while so this will be nice because we will have these movies on both Blu-Ray and DVD.

Albies 11/4

Albertsons has a really great General Mills promo going on this week. Buy $30 in participating products and get back a $15 catalina coupon good on your next shopping order. Essentially this makes all these items 50% off without even having to worry about coupons. Combining this promo with coupons just makes them that much better deals.

Here is what I did:

Transaction #1:

6 boxes of Cheerios 8.9 oz - $1.88 each ($.94 with the promo factored in)
Used six $.55/1 coupons from here or here
(Or there is a $1.00/1 coupon if you haven't already used it here or here)
Using the $.55 coupon makes these each $.39!!

6 boxes of Kleenex Facial Tissue 110 ct $.99 each ($.49 with the promo factored in)
Used six $.50/3 from 11/1 smart source or here
Final price $.34 each when you buy 3

3 Knorr Pasta Or Rice Side Dishes $.99 cents each ($.49 with the promo factored in)
Use one $1.00 off 3 coupon here and here
Final price $.17 each when you buy 3

1 Lipton Dry Soup Mix $.99 cents each ($.49 with the promo factored in)

3 Progresso Rich and hearty Soup & Traditional soup $1.69 each ($.85 with the promo factored in)
Used one $1/3 coupon here , $1.00 off 2 or $1.10 off 3 here
Final price $.35 -$.48 each

2 Kleenex Dinner Napkins 50 ct. $1.99 each ($1 with the promo factored in)

My total OOP on this was $25.12 and I got back three $5 catalina coupons to use on my next order.

Transaction #2:

6 Progresso Rich and hearty Soup & Traditional soup $1.69 each ($.85 with the promo factored in)
Used two $1/3 coupon here , $1.00 off 2 or $1.10 off 3 here
Final price $.35 -$.48 each

1 Lipton Dry Soup Mix $.99 cents each ($.49 with the promo factored in)

4 Viva Bill Roll Paper Towels 115-ct. $1.99 each ($1 with the promo factored in)
Used four $.40/1 coupon from 10/11 smart source or here
Final price .60 cents each

12 Knorr Pasta Or Rice Side Dishes $.99 cents each ($.49 with the promo factored in)
Use one $1.00 off 3 coupon here and here
Final price $.17 each when you buy 3

I used the $15 in cats from my last order to pay for some of this order. My total OOP on this was $9.41 and I got back three more $5 catalina coupons to use on my next order.

So in couponers math :) all this cost me $19.53!! Without coupons and promos this would've cost me $96.09! That's a savings of 80%.

Albies Deals 11/4 - 11/10 - Select Stores

Looks like Albertsons has some really great deals coming up this week on a lot of items. I would check out THIS PYP link and plan your shopping trip ahead of time. This will be a good way to stock up on a lot of items!

BTW - If you are short on coupons on something that you really want to stock up on and you live in my neighborhood and can stop by, just email me and let me know what you are looking for. I am very well stocked on many of the items that are great deals and I can try to round up some extra coupons for you. :)

More Almay Ideas @ Wags

So I went through my makeup stash last night and took an inventory of what I had. I found that I had PLENTY of everything except for eye shadow. So I wanted to use this Almay deal that Wags is having right now to get myself some free or super cheap eye shadow.

Here is what I did to get all this for $1.48!!

Instead of buying a foundation ($9.99) and a mascara ($6.99) in a transaction since I don't need anymore mascara, I bought a foundation and an eye shadow in each transaction. Now, you can get the Pure Blends Eye Shadow and get a $5RR back on that but those weren't the ones that I wanted. So I choose to get the Intense I-Color instead even though it doesn't have a RR associated with it. They were $7.49 each. So with the B1G1 deal (which I know works here in UT although my sister tried it in MT yesterday and it rang up B1G 50% off) I got the eye shadow for free, paid $9.99 + tax for the foundation and got back a $10RR.

The trick to getting any of these items for free is finding the foundation in stock since that is the biggest RR deal. But you can work this deal to get what you need for at the very least, super cheap. You could get a Pure Blends Masacra and another Almay item and only pay for one of the items on the B1G1 and get back a $5RR for the mascara and only end up paying a couple dollars for both items which is great. The one thing that I am not sure about is if you were to buy a Pure Blends Mascara and a Pure Blends Eye Shadow or Lip Gloss in the same transaction if you will get two $5RRs. The tags at the store show that if you buy any of those items you will get a $5RR but I don't know if the register will treat those as two of the same items or two different items with two different RRs. Might be worth a try, especially if you can't find the foundation in stock. You would still end up with a great deal even if only one printed.

Oh and I also got 2 free One Coat Mascara's. They were $6.99 each, got one free, used the $4/1 coupon from the November Coupon Booklet which deducted $8 and so I even got some overage on those. I did those 2 items with one of my previous transactions since there was no RR associated with the One Coat type so I didn't need to seperate them out.

Hope you all can score some great deals on these things!

Another Almay deal to try at Wags

Need more free mascara?

Buy 2 Almay One Coat Mascaras $6.99 each
Minus buy 1 get 1 FREE sale=$6.99 for both
Buy another item priced a little over $1
Total around $8
Use the $4/1 coupon from the November coupon booklet (will deduct $8 since you're purchasing 2)
Final cost FREE!

Walgreens Deals 11/2 - Moneymaking Lotion and Makeup

Walgreens has some excellent moneymaking deals this week ... a great way to roll your RRs if you have any that you need to use up.

First - Makeup. And the best part about this deal is you don't need any coupons to do it. Here is the deal. Almay has their makeup on sale this week for buy one get one 50% off. BUT they are ringing up B1G1Free. At least they are here in Utah and many other places in the country according to the comments I read on Hip2Save.

So here is what you do:
Buy 1 Almay Pure Blends Foundation $9.99
Buy 1 Almay Pure Blends Mascara, eye shadow or lip gloss around $6.99
Minus buy 1 get 1 FREE sale=$9.99
Pay $9.99
Get back a $5RR and a $10RR
Final cost FREE + a $5 moneymaker!
**There is a coupon in Wags new November coupon booklet which you can pick up at the store today but it is for $4/1 Almay One Coat Mascara. At least the one I got today was. I don't know if the coupons are the same everywhere. So mine wouldn't ring through. Some people have had it work for them making this deal a $9 moneymaker but it didn't work for me and I am just fine with a foundation, a mascara and $5 profit!

Second - Lotion. Here is the deal:

Buy 3 Lubriderm Daily Moisture for normal to dry skin, Fragrance Free $3.99 each
Total=$11.97
Use 3 $2/1 coupons from the 10/11RP or from here
Pay $5.97
Get back an $8RR
Final cost FREE + a $2.03 moneymaker!
**Supposedly there is also a $1/1 Wags Lubriderm coupon in the Diabetes & You booklet. I don't have this booklet but if you do, this will deduct $3 more for purchasing 3 making this a $5.03 moneymaker!

Target Deals 11/2

I scored some good deals at Target today.

GE Smart Energy 13 W CFL bulbs on sale for $2.39
Use the $1/1 coupon from the 10/4SS
Plus, use the $2/1 Target coupon from here
Final cost FREE + overage! **Hand over the manufacturer coupon first and the coupons should go through without any beeps.

My checker wouldn't give me the overage but that is okay. I still got 4 packs of lightbulbs for $.11 tax.

Target is running this Glade promo through Christmas. Here is what you do.

Buy 5 Glade holiday candle products (candles, warmers + more) $2.50 each and get back a $5 Target gift card. You can buy as many of these items in a transaction and you will get a $5 gift card for each 5 you buy.

I bought 14 holiday candles and 11 refill packs (make sure they are the Christmas scents so you get the gift card) totalling 25 items. So I got back five $5 gift cards.

I didn't have the $1.50/1 coupons that you can sometimes find in the non-holiday tins but I did have a bunch of $2/2 coupons that I found in previous holiday candles and refill packs that I have bought.
I used seven $2/2 coupons on the candles.
I also had five buy an oil candle holder, get the refill pack FREE coupons from here or from the 11/1SS
And I used three B2G1 free refill coupons from the 11/1SS.

My total was $36.07 OOP and after the $25 back in gift cards these only cost me $11.07.
