I was hungry and craving a cheeseburger from Wendy's this afternoon. So on my way I stopped at walgreens. I did the Unilever deal.
4 Ragu pasta sauces @ $1.99 each (used $0.50 off 2 and a $0.75 off 2 coupons)
2 Jiffy peanut butters @ $1.99 each (used a $0.75 off 2 coupon)
2 Dove Hair care products @ 2/$7.00 (had 2 $1.50 off Dove haircare coupons)
I spent $14.something (I can't find my receipt) out of pocket and received a $10 register reward back.
I went through the line again and got
1 package of bounty on sale for $6.99 ($0.25 off coupon)
2 packages of Dixie napkins @ $1.99 ($1.00 off coupon in today's paper x 2)
2 packages of Dixie paper plates on sale for $1.99 each ($1.00 off coupon x 2)
I used my $10 register reward to pay for it and spent $1.75 out of pocket. I believe the bounty was 6 rolls. So all in all not a bad day. I am good on pasta sauce and peanut butter for a while!
Hopefully I can get the little monster down for a nap so I can hit Jewel and CVS later! HOpe you are having a GREAT sunday!

Swagbucks
If you haven't heard of Swagbucks my suggestion is you go here and sign up. What is swagbucks? It is a search engine. Works pretty much the same as google except that everytime you search for something you can earn "swagbucks" or points. You can trade these swagbucks in for giftcards. I joined a few weeks ago and just traded my swagbucks in for a Target gift card. They also had Barnes & Noble, Macy's and Starbucks that I can remember off the top of my head. Pretty cool concept for something we do every single day! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a comment.

Super Sunday Savings Spree!
Hi everyone! Happy New Year. So one of my new years resolutions is to get out of credit card debit this year and start saving more money.
I started couponing last year and now I am going to become more serious about it. I hope to use this blog as an opportunity to share deals with you and also keep track of my savings/earnings.
Today was an awesome day for me. That's why I'm calling it the Super Sunday Savings Spree.
It started out at Walgreens.
I had 2 items that I needed to return which gave me about $20 back in cash. I also had $10 in my wallet. So $30 total which I was going to use for both Walgreens and CVS. This is how I did.
Walgreens:
4 Fructis items @ $2.99 [-$2.00 ESQ and $1.00 MQ = -$0.04]
Electrasol Geltabs @3.49 [-$2.50 MQ and $1.50 ESR = -$0.51 after rebate]
1 Sunday paper
My total OOP was $4.02! Not bad. Plus I will get back $1.50!
At CVS I did 3 transactions.
CVS #1:
4 Colgate toothpastes @ 2/$5.00 [-$1.50 PQ/Get $4.00 in ECBs]
1 Pamolive Dish Soap @ $0.97 [-$0.25 MQ]
1 Cottonelle 20 pack @ $12.97 [-$1.00 MQ/Get $4.00 in ECBs]
1 Ziploc Baggie Twic pack @$5.99 [-$1.00 MQ/Get $2.00 in ECBs]
I also used a $5.00 off $25.00 that came in my email for this weekend only. $2.50 in ECBS for fall spending and $5.00 in ECBs that I had from a previous purchase.
My total was $10.62 and I got back $10.00 in ECBS!
CVS #2
2 Infant's Motrin @ 2/$11.00 [-$2.50 MQ]
1 package of Bandaids @ $3.00
1 Tylenol Cold @ $6.00 [-$1.00 MQ]
1 Freedom Lite Monitor @ $9.99 [-$9.99 MQ]
I also used a $5/$25.00 coupon, $2.00 off pain reliever CVS coupon, and my $10.00 in ECBs from above.
My total ended up $0.27 negative so I threw in a package of tic tacs @ $0.99 and my total came to $0.73. I got $10 in ECBS for the motrin/band aids/tylenol.
CVS #3
3 packs of pepsi @ 3/$10.00 [-$1.00 MQ]
1 Johnson & Johnson's baby wash @ $2.99 [-$1.00 MQ]
I used my $10 ECB from transaction #2 and spent $1.24 OOP.
So in total I only spent a little over $16.00 OOP at Walgreens and CVS!
Now, if you have a Jewel near you -- they have a great deal going on. Buy $30 worth of participating merchandise and receive $15.00 on your next order.
I did 3 transactions at Jewel today.
#1:
8 Roll pack of Bounty $10.00 (-$0.25)
Trix @ $2.00 (-$1.00)
2 - Yoplait Kids @ $2.50/each (-$1.50/each)
2- Cheerios @ $2.00/each (-$1.00)
2 - Betty Crocker Brownie Mix @ $1.67 (-$1.00)
2- Patene Products @ $3.33/each (-$3.00)
My total OOP: $23.39 and I received $15.00 back
#2
3 packages of Pampers @ $10.00 (-$4.00 in coupons)
I used my $15.00 from transaction #1 to pay for the diapers and spent $13.48 out of pocket. Which is not bad for 3 packages of size 5 pampers! I also received back the $15.00 in coupons and an extra $5.00 good on your next baby product purchase.
#3
2 Packages of prepackaged salad @ 2/$5.00 (they were also running a special on these that if you buy 2 you get up to 2 lbs of Bananas free so I got 2 lbs exactly!)
1 package of baby carrots @ 1.50
1 Green Peper @ $0.77
1 cucumber @ $0.79
1 Johnson's Baby Vapor Bath (to use the $5.00 coupon good on next baby purchase) @ $5.49 (-$1.00 MQ)
1 Package of Jewel Croutons @ $1.00
I used the $5.00 baby coupon and a $5.00 jewel coupon and paid $4.03 OOP. I have $10.00 left to roll sometime this week when they get the Downy back in stock! I am going to be taking advantage of this offer as much as possible. It is good until 1/18!!
The great news too is I can use the products from Jewel transaction #1 and #2 to fufill my $50 requirement to get the $120 worth of Proctor and Gamble coupons. I already filled out my form and will be sending that in tomorrow morning!
Not a bad shopping day! Hope you all had a great Super Sunday!

I <3 CVS!
CVS is my most favorite store EVER. Especially after today. I had the $15.00 from the Duracell deal that I did on Monday. It's been burning a hole through my purse. So I figured what the heck with Christmas fast approaching I'm going to need lots of batteries for Nicholas' toys. I took a walk over to CVS again at lunch today. Just thinking I would do the Duracell deal again and roll my ECBs for some cheap batteries. Well I scanned my card under the little scanner and out pops a $10 off of $50 coupon! WOOOOOHOOO! Well I have NO PLAN and am a little concerned but it all worked out well.
Most of the glade was gone but I scored 2 apple cinnamon candles (yum) and 2 window scent thingees. Then I knew Revlon was Buy 1 Get 1 Free and I knew I had coupons for Revlon. So I got 2 nailpolishes. I then saw the Vaseline lotion was on sale for $5.99 and you get back $2.00 in ECBs. So I grabbed one of those for my desk (my hands are so dry this time of year). I also bought a bottle of hand sanitizer which was on sale for $3.99 with $2.00 ECBs back. I then needed a small filler item about $2.00. So I noticed that 8 pks of certain candies were on sale. The Reeses and Kitkats were calling my name. My total before everything was over $61.00. After coupons and the $15.00 ECB from the first duracell deal, I paid $22.00.
I know what you are thinking. $22.00 WHOA that is alot. But not really considereding that the batteries alone 4 X $5.99 = $23.96.
And the fact that I got $24.00 back in ECBS!!!!!!!!!!!! This is by far one of my most exciting trips. I need pretty much everything and it included 4 packs of batteries! WOW!
So yes, I <3>

CVS Deal
I stopped at CVS today at lunch to do the battery deal. Buy $20 in Duracell batteries get $15 ECBs. I needed the batteries anyway since my son's toys are running kind of low and with Christmas coming who doesn't need them, right. I ended up paying $20 OOP but got back $15.00 ECBs which I plan to use on the Glade deal.
Buy $10 in certain Glade products get $5.00 ECBs. The glade glass windows are 2/$5.00; refill packs are $3.99; warmers are $2.99; and candles are 2/$5.00. There are several coupons out there. I plan on using the $15.00 ECBs to get about $30 worth of glade products and I will get $15.00 back in ECBs. You can do the glade deal up to 5 times! I really wish I had more glade coupons.
I haven't been around much lately. I am hoping to update this blog more often now. With Christmas fast approaching there should be some stellar deals coming up!

My Jewel Score!
I went to Jewel yesterday for some odds and ends. I was so excited when I left. I saved over $44.00!!!!!!
They had a promotion running that if you buy 10 participating items you will receive $5.00 off your order. I believe this sale ended yesterday.
2 - Betty Crocker Fruit Roll Ups 2/$5.00 (-$1.00/2)
2 - Yoplait Plus 4 Packs 2/$5.00 (-1.00/1 Q x 2)
2 - Pillsbury Crescent Rolls 2/$5.00 (-$1.00/2)
2 - Pillsbury Cookie Dough 2/$5.00 (-$1.00/2)
1 - Chex Mix $2.00 (-$0.50)
1 - Green Giant Steam $2.50 (-$1.00 Q)
They also had certain Kellog cereals on sale for $1.49. There was a limit of 6. So I bought 6 boxes of cereal for $0.49 each thanks to the recent Kellog's printables that were available on Coupons.com.
2 - Progresso Soups $1.00/each (-$0.55/2 Q)
2 - Dinty Moore Beef Stew bowls $1.00/each ($1.00/2 Q)
Sunday Newspaper $1.99
My original total was $34.49
After $13.05 in Manufacturer Coupons and $5.00 in store savings my total was $21.44.
While my total is more OOP than I see on most blogs, I was completely happy with it. I got 6 boxes of cereal. Yes 6! That alone would have cost me $21.00 at regular price.
How did everyone else do this weekend?

My Walgreens Scenario for 10/24
I plan on hitting up Walgreens tomorrow during lunch. There is a new $5/20 coupon which you can find here: Coupons.com
You will need to spend $20 after coupons to be eligible to use this coupon. There are also reports that you can only print 2 of these coupons from every 1 computer you use. They are good for 10/24 and 10/25 - which just happens to be at the EXACT SAME TIME as Walgreen's Double Dipping Days. I need to stop at Walgreens in the morning to get a November Easy Saver catalog to work on my deals for Double Dipping but here is my scenario for using one of the $5/20 coupons:
Lysol Freshmatic - $5.99 each
Use $5/1 coupon
(**November Easy Saver Rebate $3/1)
Total Price: $0.99 (get $3.00 back on Wags Giftcard)
Alka Seltzer Cold - $4.99 each
Use $1/1 printable
Receive $4.99 back in Register Rewards
Total Price: FREE!
2 x Sudafed PE - $3.99 each (buy 3 or more get $5.00 in Register Rewards)
Use $1.50/1 coupon
Use $1.00/1 coupon or $1.00/1 printable
Total Price: $5.48 for 2
Children's Benadryl - $6.49 each
Use $1.00/1 coupon
Total Price: $5.99
Kellog's Ceral 2/$5.00
Use various $1/1 printables (which looks like they are no longer available)
Total Price: $3.00 for 2
Gallon of Milk - $2.49
My Total will come to $21.44 + $1.55 tax (approx.) = $22.99
$22.99 - $5.00 Walgreens Coupon = $17.99
I will receive $9.99 in Register Rewards and $3.00 in Easy Saver Rebates
Which means my total out of pocket is $5.00!
NOW HOPEFULLY THIS WILL REALLY WORK! It has been my experience that I go to the store with a plan and there is always something on sale I am looking for that they are out of! Anyone else have this experience?
