Publix this week!

I was so excited when I heard the giftcard deal at Publix was BEFORE coupons! I knew with the coupons I had coming in and the sales going on this would be no problem. Uh.... Got to the register and was $4 short so I snagged some gum, which I of course had a coupon for! So total was $110 *giftcard, giftcard*

After coupons I got it down to $21.49 before tax! If you take into acct that I also have a $10 giftcard its like I spent $11.49!

Disclaimer: my receipt says I saved $164.18. Not sure how but I'm thinking its bc of the special pricing on the birds eye veggies!

Breakdown:
24 bags of veggies
2 jugs of juice
10 jars of pickles
40 boxes of pasta
8 pks of gum
4 things of floss

This week's deals!

*so with my internship I'm still adjusting to these late evening shipping trips lol* Good thing is that the hubby & daughter come along so we can spend time together. Between hubby trying to get non coupon, non sale items and daughter throwing tantrums, we get some quality time in lol.

One good thing I have found about shopping the last few hours of the sale is that
*most everything is in stock
*not that many people are shopping
*I'm so tired from internship and so focused on the timeframe I have that I stick solely to my list.

Today we went to Winn Dixie:
Before coupons or card $389.09
After card $232.17
After coupons $136 before taxes
***PLUS*** I got a coupon for a free flu shot!

Here's what I got:
*4 containers of crystal light
*10 cans of biscuits
*6 bottles of salad dressing
*20 cans of chili
*6 cans of almonds
*5 bags of chicken
*18 boxes of totinos pizza rolls
*13 bags of chips
*4 bottles of sunny d
*14 bags of shredded cheese
*2 pks of Porkchops
*1 pack of stew meat
*2 pks of sandwich meat
*5 boxes of toothpaste
*4 toothbrushes
*6 jars of salsa from a previous raincheck!

Well it's here! Happy New Year

If you are reading this take a moment to thank God for bringing you to the new year. I know this is normally a time when people decide to better themselves and their circumstances but this year I challenge you to do so each day. When you fall don't wait until tomorrow, Monday or next year to start again, start a new in the next moment. I once heard a quote that said the only real time we have is now. We plan alot for the future and dwell alot on the past but the only time that is ours is NOW. Since hearing that I have truly been meditating on the deepness of that. I challenge you to do the same!

With the new year upon us what do you plan to do in your couponing life? Are you a member of Swagbucks? Recyclebank? SuperPoints? If not and you want to join check out the links below.

Swagbucks is a search engine much like Yahoo! or Google however while searching you have the chance of earning "bucks". You can also earn points from using their toolbar, watching videos, and playing games. Through the accumulation of "swagbucks" you can cash them in to earn cool prizes such as Paypal cash or Amazon e-cards. There is also an option to donate money to a charity of your choice!

I have heard about Recycle bank for a while but just joined last night and I love it already. You earn points by making pledges to be more eco friendly. Last night I made the pledge to take shorter showers and to turn off the water when shampooing my hair. These 2 pledges earned me 20 points. My goal is to earn enough points to redeem some cool, high value coupons! I am still new to this so join now and we can learn together!!

Superpoints

Coca Cola! The drink of the holiday season!

So I just read that there is a B4G1 Free coupon over at Target and their 2L Coke products are on sale 4/$5 so with the coupon you're getting 5/$5 that's a good price for 2L especially since my Target sells their 20oz drinks for $1.70!!

 Well to sweeten the deal if you want all Coke Zero drinks you can use the $.99/1 coupon I posted yesterday and complete the following scenario!

Get 5 Coke Zero 2L

use the Target coupon B4G1F

use 5 of the $.99/1 coupons

pay $.05 and get 5 drinks!

If you only have access to or can only use 4 coupons at your store your scenario will look like this:

Get 5 Coke products (4 of which must be Coke Zero)

use the Target coupon B4G1F

use 4 of the $.99/1 coupons

pay $1.04 and get 5 drinks! 

if you only have access to 2 of the coupons your scenario will look like this:

Get 5 Coke products (2 of which must be Coke Zero)

use the Target coupon B4G1F

use 2 of the $.99/1 coupons

pay $3.02 and get 5 drinks! 

Oh Target, how I'm growing to love thee!

Well last month I had a great trip to target with the curel deal. Earlier this week I went and for free Eucerin which works amazing on my super dry skin. Not to mention the awesome dollar section they have!
Well yesterday I went and did the target glade deal everyone is raving about but I switched around some coupons and paid $2.25 and got my $5 gc. I couldn't find the ad that would've given me 2 $5 gcs.

Nyc mail polish was $.94 and I had some $1/1 coupons. Eucerin and Nivea are less than $1 so I used the $1 coupons from coupons.com. the register automatically adjusted them. Then I got 5 of the scented oil twin packs which include a free warmer!! I used 4 $2/1 coupons from coupons.com, 1 $1.50/3 Target coupon and 1 $.75/1 mq from a November insert.

**be aware the only ones ringing up $2.50 were the good boxes. The manager said she didn't know why so she gave me them all for $2.50 each!**

If u can get 5 of the $2/1 coupons and a Target coupon. Your total will be $1.

A picture is worth a thousand words...well actually $318.31

Today my couponing buddy and bestie since forever went shopping to get a "few things" lol well that few turned into 2 buggies full! Here are the totals & the breakdown from my trip!

How I scored 10 products for $.11

So black friday at CVS was AMAZING!! Especially since I planned my transactions so that I could make the ECB's work for me (see previous post). Well when I went shopping for my mom she had $18.xx in ECBs left over! So imagine how excited I was when I saw that Tide was a part of the promotion get a $10 gift card when you spend $30!

4 Tide $5.94 use $2/1 Q  making them $3.94 each

6 Air Freshners $.99 use $2/2 making them $0

So my total was $29.70 before coupons and this particular store rounded up so I was able to get the giftcard!

My total after coupons was $15.76 which I paid for using ECBs and only paid $.11 + tax! 

How to make your store rewards work for you:

So when I was showing my hubby my pictures from yesterday's shopping trip he wanted to know if i really only paid $4 for all i bought, I tried to explain the formula him then I realized someone else may need this information so here we go!

I went to rite aid and picked up 2 universal remotes, 4 Dove deodorants, and 2 packs of hairbows. 

Here is how I did it:

Transaction #1: 
Remote $5 get $5 back

Transaction #2:
Remote $5 get $5 back: I paid for this remote with the $5 I received from the first transaction so I only had to pay tax

Transaction #3:
2 Deodorants $4 get $2 back wyb 2
1 pack of hair bows $1.99 get $1.99 back
total $5.99; use $5 from previous transaction pay $.99 cash

Transaction #4:
2 Deodorants $4 get $2 back wyb 2
1 pack of hair bows $1.99 get $1.99 back
total $5.99; use $3.99 from previous transaction pay $2 cash
since there are no more transactions I am taking home $3.99 in +Up rewards

so here is the formula:
OOP I spent $7.99 and I still have $3.99 in store rewards so it is recorded as paying $4 for everything!
If you begin with store rewards your OOP would be lower.

Since the key to making your rewards work for you is more transactions, here are a few rules I abide by:

1. no more than 4 transactions per visit

2. if someone is waiting behind me let them checkout before me or between transactions depending on when   

   they arrive

3. be organized and quick

4. always thank the cashier for their kindness and patience~ This means alot to them and even if they are rude 

    my parents always told me to kill em with kindness

For all the loyal tide fans out there (mommy this is for you!)

Starting Sunday CVS will have their Tide on sale for $5.94; if you still have the $2/1 coupon from P&G (insert or facebook promo) you can score them for $3.94 each. That in and of itself is a good deal for tide but here is where the pot gets hotter: It is part of the $10ECB wyb $30 promotion!!
The $30 is before coupons so here are 2 breakdowns you can do:


#1
Buy 6 jugs of tide (4 in transaction 1 and 2 in transaction 2 per the wording on P&G coupons) total will be $35.64 before coupons! apply 6 of the $2/1 coupons and your OOP drops to $23.64!


CVS tracks your spending so even though you are doing 2 transactions you will still get the $10 ECB


Don't want to pay that much OOP? Do this transaction:
#2
Buy 5 jugs of tide (4 in transaction 1 and 1 in transaction 2 per the wording on P&G coupons)total will be $29.70 before coupons~ It has been my experience that they do not round up so also included in the deal are glade products, so I would pick up a $.99 air freshener, bringing my total to $30.69 before coupons! apply 5 of the $2/1 coupons and your OOP drops to $20.69!


UPDATE: while you're at it pick up 2 of the $.99 Glade products b/c  on the CVS website there is a coupon for $2/2 on ANY glade product! so your OOP would now be $19.70 and you're getting 1 additional product!
