I'm still sick...

I have to apologize for being largely absent from posting this week. I have come down with a terrible cold I can't seem to shake and all I really want to do is sleep and hopefully get better. However, I do want to point out that Mercedes at Common Sense with Money has a great list of Walgreens deals for the week here. Don't forget that the Kroger Mega Event is still going on this week and Becky over at Nickels-n-Dimes has an AWESOME printable list here.

King Soopers Mega Event Shopping Trips

This is just a picture of my THIRD trip to King Soopers, I completely forgot about taking a picture of the first two! Here's a breakdown of everything I bought:

6 Tropicana Orange Juice
6 Orville Popcorn
2 Chex Mix
4 Cheetos
8 Green Giant Steamers
6 Pace Picante
23(!) Kleenex Tissues (considering this terrible cold I have, these have already come in handy! :-))
5 Cottonelle Toilet Paper*
6 Juicy Juice
2 Activia Yogurt*
4 Suave Lotion*
1 Quaker Instant Oatmeal
6 Hormel Chili
2 Kraft Shredded Cheese
3 Quaker Rice Cakes Snacks*
1 Goldfish Crackers
1 Velveeta
1 Dozen Eggs*
9 Glade Scented Oil Candle Refills
3 Glade Scented Oil Candles
1 Coffeemate
1 Del Monte Red Grapefruit Bowl*
*not included in the Mega Event promotion

Total Value: $298.73
Total Spent: $82.78 ($8.40 in tax)
Total Saved: $216.15

Not too bad. My best find not on my original list were the scented oil candles and refills. If you took advantage of the Glade moneymaker at Target a couple of months ago, you should have PLENTY of the $2/1 candle holder and B2G1 candle refill coupons that came in the candle packages. Some of the candles are marked down to $2 plus they're part of the Mega Event making them a $0.50 money maker after coupon! Some of the refills are marked to $1.10 and are also part of the Mega Event making them $0.70 for 3 after coupon!

Becky over at Nickels-n-Dimes has an AWESOME printable list that I used for my shopping trips. Click here for the list. Don't forget that the Mega Event sale is still going on this week!

Kmart Super Double Coupons 01/11-01/17

Kmart will be doubling coupons with a face value of up to $2 January 11th thru the 17th. To find out if your local Kmart is participating click here. After you enter your zip code you will see your local weekly ad. If your Kmart is participating you will see the doubling coupons announcement right on the ad. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
  • No internet printable coupons are accepted
  • They will only double up to the price of the item i.e. no overage. For example if your coupon face value is $2 and the item you are buying is $3.50, your coupon will double to $3.50 not $4
  • You can only use 4 of the same coupons in one transaction
  • There is a limit of 25 coupons per customer per day
  • The $x on more than one item coupons only double up to the price of 1 item not 2 so it's best to not use those

Hot Coupon World has an awesome price book for the sale, go here to view it.

2 Clearance Gift Wrap Rolls- $1.98
=$21.98
-$4 (two $2/1 Dr. Scholl's IP)

Earned $10RR

Transaction #2

2 Arizona Teas- $5
1 Fusion Power Razor- $10.49
1 Gillete Shampoo- $2.50
1 Dawn Soap- $1.99

When I got into my car and reviewed my receipts I realized that the razor should have rang up at $8.99 and the Headbands should have been $1.49 so I went back in and had it adjusted. I grabbed one of the other Fusion Razors just in case I had grabbed the wrong one and when he went to do the exchange, it rang up at $2.50! We were both surprised. So I ended up getting $9.73 put back on my card. Woohoo! :)

6 Clearance Tins- $0.72
=$5.71

Freebies in the Mail



Yesterday was a great day for freebies in the mail. I got a free sample of Dove Therapy, my new ring from Silver Jewelry Club, and a Kashi sample. The Kashi sample included one of their new Soft Baked Cereal bars that was delicious PLUS a coupon for a FREE box and several $2/1 coupons. If you haven't already, sign up on their website to receive free samples and coupons.

I love free jewelry!!!

Silver Jewelry Club is an awesome company that is so sure that you will love their jewelry that they offer select pieces FREE, you just have to pay $6.99 shipping and handling per piece. All their pieces are sterling silver with genuine gemstones. I ordered an amethyst and citrine ring and I absolutely love it!

New Coupons

It's the first of the month which means....new coupons! Visit Coupons.com to print out the ones that catch your eye before the print limit is reached and they 'disappear.' I'm particularly excited about the $1/1 Ocean Spray coupon since it's on sale at Walgreens this week for $2. I'm just hoping they have the varieties included in the coupon.

Free pint(s) of Ben & Jerry's!

If you join the Ben & Jerry's e-mail list you will be able to print out a $3 coupon that will get you free ice cream at Walgreens next week. Visit From Wag's to Riches to get all the details. :)
