Walmart 6/24

I haven't really been a Walmart shopper lately, but I decided to go and get some good deals that I read on some blogs. So, my mom, Haylee and I all set out today and got some ok deals. It is so much easier to go shopping when my mom is there to take care of Haylee! I was hoping to get some other things, but the prices were different at our Walmart than what I was reading on others blogs. Anyhow...this is what I got:

In our move I have seemed to lost my make-up bag and am still unable to find it three weeks later! I bought this make-up to either get by until I find mine or start my new collection. I know it is extremely cheap for make-up but we'll see how it works! My total before coupons was $57.24 and after coupons was $28.12. This was a savings of 49%. The cat food is what drove my cost up, but we needed it!

And now for a picture or few of Haylee. I just took these tonight. It's hard to believe that she was 12 weeks old yesterday! She is very close to rolling over and when she can't do it, she gets very mad. Needless to say I have a very upset baby every time she is on the floor trying to roll over. It's also amazing how many people say that she looks just like me. All of my family says it, but even when we go to the store, completely random people constantly say how much she looks like me!

She is actually smiling in this picture. She is such a sweetheart when she smiles and talks! It's definitely my favorite :)

Target 6/22

I know it has been forever since I have done a post about my shopping, but today my mom and I went to Target to get some good deals and I wanted to report. We are also going to CVS here in a little bit so depending on how I feel later, I may post again about what deals I was able to get there. But for now, here is a picture and the breakdown of what I was able to get today! It was hard to get it all in the picture, but you can get the idea :)

-$2.54

Air Wick Nite Light Holder $2.99?
-$1 MQ ?
-Free MQ with purchase of Twin Pack Refil?
-I am confused on this one because as I look at my receipt it looks like this was $2.99 when they are usually around $.97. When the cashier was scanning the coupons and couldn't find it, I told her they are normally around $.97. She plugged that in and said she didn't want to look for it. But, under this on the receipt is also a $1 MQ and I didn't give her one for that as I don't think it even exist. Oh well, so I think I paid $1.02 for this although it was supposed to be free!

Touch Base and Target 6/14

It has been a long time since my last post because of the move back to Nebraska. I have still found plenty of time to go shopping and get all my free and cheap things though! I love it when I check out at Target and the cashier gives me an "impressed" look when he is done with all of my coupons! I love it even more when I get home and Jason gets excited about what I get. I have to admit it took him a while to come around though :) Here is what I bought at Target:

Armor All Glass Cleaner $2.69

Brian & Jamie's Wedding and Walgreens 5/31

First I will start with my stop at Walgreens I just had. It is an amazing week there for free things! I paid $3.41 Out of Pocket, but overall ended up making $3.59 with the extra Register Rewards I got. I started with $12 and ended with $19 to play with next week...or more this week :) I won't give the break down because everything was basically free after I worked my magic! Plus I have $6 worth of mail in rebates to send in too. Here is a picture of what I got.

Now for the wedding. There is really no way to describe it. Everything was absolutely beautiful and we had a great time. It was very hot and sticky though as it was outside and it rained before the wedding and a little bit during the wedding. Crazy thing is, it was raining when the bridesmaids and groomsmen were walking down, but the second Jamie walked around from the curtain to walk, the sun came out and shined right on her. Wish I got a picture of how perfect it was. The only bad thing that happened was the the night before the wedding. We were at the rehearsal dinner/gathering and the window on our car was shot out with a BB gun. Another couple at the dinner was also unfortunate to experience this as well. When the cops came they had told us that there were seven reported windows shot, two people and a child. That's pretty bad when they are shooting at people! Someone got a plate number and description of the people so that's good. I have so many pictures of Haylee so I will do my best to pick and choose here. Enjoy!

This was on the car ride home!

5/28 Walgreens and Target

Ok, so today I truly think I did great and couldn't wait to post. I stopped by Walgreens to see if the Ironman Muscle Rub was in yet and yay...it was. So I had four transactions and the GREATEST cashier ever. She was so patient and I think she was having fun too :) So here is what I got:

I started of with two $8 RR from Complete Solution from previous visits.

1st Transaction

Ironman Muscle Rub $5.99 - $1 Q

Goody Headbands $2.99

Hunts Sauce $.25

Paid With: $8 RR and $.23 Out of Pocket

Received: $5 RR for Ironman and $3 RR for Headbands

2nd Transaction

Complete Solution $7.99 - $1 Q

(5) Hunts Sauce $1.25

Paid With: $5 RR and $3 RR from Transaction 1 and $.24 Out of Pocket

Received: $8 RR for Solution

3rd Transaction

Exactly the same as the first

4th Transaction

Exactly the same as the second

So overall, I started with $16 in RR and ended with $16 in RR. I only paid a total of $.94 Out of Pocket and got everything in the picture above :) And then I went to Target....

Tuna had to get in this picture! Notice that you can tell that almost everything has a clearance sticker on it! This is how I was able to get all of this stuff for just over $22. I don't have the break down because my receipt is in an envelope for a $5 mail in rebate. I originally went in to get the Listerine on the right. I read another blog that said it was on clearance for $1.98 a bottle and there was $2/1 printables. Then when I got home I read that you can get a $10 Mail in Rebate for buying just one Listerine product. Since that receipt is already being used for the other rebate, I have to go get one more bottle so I can get the $10. Overall, it was an excellent day for me :)

Here is a picture of Haylee in the bath tub and also one of her in her bassinet that she has already outgrown. When we get back to Nebraska next week, she will be sleeping in her crib!

Walgreens, CVS and Target all in One - The Best Deals!

So, the last two days I have made multiple stops. I have been to 4 different Walgreens (looking for the Ironman Muscle Rub) and none of them have it yet. Each time there, I bought either a Complete Contacts Solution or the Goody Headbands that are free.
In total from Walgreen's I have gotten :

Complete Solution (MM with $1Q)
2 Goody Headbands (Free)
2 Huggies ($4.49 each)
Pantene Hair Gel (Clearance $1.25 with $1 Q = $.25)
2 Hunts Tomato Sauce ($.50)

I paid $10.48 Out of Pocket for all of this and have $16 in RR left right now.

I had to go to two different CVS because the first one was out of Old Spice Body Wash. But my good deals at both were:

Pampers Swaddlers (CVSQ & MQ=$4.49)
2 Sobe Life Water (Both free after BOGO and MQ)
Colgate Wisp (Clearance and $.75 Q= $1.50)
2 Old Spice Body Wash (BOGO Q and $1Q = $2.01) This gave me $8 ECB too!

I paid $5.56 Out of Pocket and have $8 in ECB left for next time. I got some other things, but these were my good deals!

My Target transaction was messed up by the cashier (who was not very nice!) I had to go to customer service to get $4.75 back and now I see that it should have been $6.81. I am going to go back and get my $2.06 and report my Target savings after I do so!
