Kroger deal

For all you Kroger shoppers, check out Jamie's trip!!

AcipHex

Do you or someone you know have heartburn?? Michael has been suffering with severe heartburn for years. He has tried OTC and presc meds, and AcipHex is the ONLY one that works for him. When taken daily, he has no heartburn (believe me, he has tested it, too!) The downfall, is that it is around $150/month. With insurance, it is $67. However, I found this great offer online that is a coupon for $35 off! He used one the other day, and we will use another next month. It expires 6/30/09, so I am hoping that it resets after that, so I can get more! Click here to read about AcipHex, and get a free trial, then you can get your $35 coupon, too!!

Coupons.com

Coupons.com has some great coupons right now. Use zip 92111 if these don't come up.

$10 off Scrabble: Diamond Anniversary
$10 off Monopoly: Electronic Edition
$3 on any Leapfrog Toy
$.75 on King's Hawaiin new sliced bread


Remember, you can print these usually 2x per computer.

Free fudge

Inside the Valpack (that blue envelope that comes with the "junk mail") there is a coupon for free 1/8 pound of fudge from the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. No purchase necessary!

I always look through it because there is usually one like this that is worth it.

valpack.com also has printable coupons

Reynolds Foil at CVS

Ok, I admit, sometimes I do not take the time to scour the stores to look for all the clearance items. Tonight, I was by myself, so I tried to do that. I found the foil at CVS that the blogs talked about, and it is the 75sqft for $1.25!! I even had $1 off coupons to stack with it!! So, I got 3 for a total of .75!!! My CVS still had quite a few left, so I think it is worth a shot to look. They just had a small sign, so maybe no one is seeing them. I will probably go back and get more.

Go check it out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check this out!!!!!!!!!!

Hooked on Phonics is having a HUGE overstock sale! They have a lot of items over 50% off, PLUS if you use the code SLICK50, you get an additional 50% off! I got the one pictured above. I ordered 2, and they are normally over $60 each, and I got them both for $29 shipped!

(Thank you, Hip2Save!!)

Homemade Simple Coupon booklet

I have signed up for, and received this booklet TWICE!! It is full of great coupons, including 1 for a FREE Cascade rinse. So, for about 30 sec of my time, I have gotten 2 free bottles, and lots of other great coupons!!

Alisa's Walgreens trip

I needed some hot dogs for a family gathering this weekend, and I found this great sale at Walgreens.

Trans #1:

Bandaids: (2) boxes, used (2) $1 coupons

Neosporin: Used (1) $1 coupon

---received $4 RR

Shaving cream: received $1 RR

Toothpaste: (thought I was supposed to get $1RR, but did not print)

Total: $12.56, received $5 RR
--If I had gone to HEB, I would have spent around $10-$12 on hot dogs, but now, I have $5 to go towards my next purchase!!

Trans #2:

Aveeno: bought 3 of the smallest, cheapest lotions ($2.63) in order to receive the FREE bag of products. I then used (3) $2 coupons, which made them .63 each!!

Hot Dogs: BOGO FREE, then had $1/2 pkg

Had to use candy bar as filler item

Total: after RR $1.58!!!!!!!!!

So, this is where you have to think a little. I would have already spent around that for hot dogs, but, now, for the same amount of money, look what all I got!!

My coupon helpers!

It's all in your head...

When you start seeing the HUGE difference that coupons can make, your whole mentality changes. You only want to buy things on sale, and preferably stack a coupon on top of that for an even better deal. CVS and Walgreens are my challenges right now. I am trying to make it to where I only use RR and ECB when I shop there. This takes practice and planning. I am not there, yet, but I have started buying this that you get RR/ECB for, to turn around and pay for what I need.

For example, Tye and Kenadie went on my cereal run to Randall's today, and did pretty well. I had promised them a treat last night when I left on a Walg's run, and forgot, so in order to make it up, I told them since they were good while I was doing my stuff, we would get them a treat. I needed to stop by a Walg's for a clearance item I had been hunting for, and told them they could pick something there. Walg's did not have my clearance item, so I let them pick out some candy. They each picked out $1.99 bags of candy, and I found some popsicles I wanted to get. So, I had 2 choices. Just go and pay $6 for all that and leave, OR go back, find some RR items, and double my purchase. I went and found some toothpaste that was FREE after RR, and some shaving cream that was $1.99 and you got $1 RR. I paid for those first, and received $5.50 in RR!! I used those RR to pay for candy and popsicles...so for the same amount that I would have paid for candy/ popsicles, I also got toothpast and shaving cream! It is all in the mindset! No coupons were used for this trans, or it may have been cheaper, but you can still double your purchases doing it this way!

No Inserts this Sunday

Just a heads up, DO NOT buy this Sunday's paper...because of the holiday, there will be no inserts.

my CVS trip this morning

Here's my shopping list from about an hour ago. I got all these things and two 'filers' ($.89 cent cheerio bar and $.36 cent candy by register) and paid less than $.25 cents OOP! used $4 in ECB's and got $6 more in return!

Use 2 $2 Dry Idea coupons from here
Or use the $1 Right Guard/Dry Idea coupon from the 4/19SS
Final cost as low as 2 for FREE + $1 profit!

1 St Ives apricot Scrub (travel size) $1.49
Use the $1.50 coupon from the 5/10SS
Final cost FREE!

3x's Schick Disposable Razors (travel size) .99
Buy 2 and use the $2 coupon from the 5/10SS
Final cost 2 for FREE!
(Thanks, Kayla!)

Thanks, gals for the coupons for Dry Idea!!

Alisa's CVS trip last week

I had a really great trip to CVS last week. I was able to grab one of the blood glucose monitors (which I am donating) for FREE + I got $5 in ECB!!! With my coupons and ECB, I spend $12.49 and saved over $100 AND I still had $8 in ECB!!

Remember, CVS and Walgreens can be tricky. You have to practice to really be able to use them to your advantage (like never any cash out of pocket!!) If you need tips or suggestions, ask me on here, or email me!!

On Hip2Save this morning, she posted this great program by Tylenol. You can sign up here and receive a FREE pedometer and exercise DVD. I signed up, and created my own personal workout calendar. This will come in handy since i am going to end my Lifetime membership. :(

Ok, so since so many of you had trouble logging in, I will make it open for now. I may change it later. I pull from other blogs, and I do my best to link to their blogs, but I don't want anyone to get upset if I miss one.
