TOTAL AFTER COUPONS: $0.08


I went to Safeway to use the expiring CAT from CPK pizzas. This was a very confusing transaction. So the cashier explained it this way. I had a just for U personalized deal that made all candy bars ring up at $0.45. Then instead of the B2G2 deal, the candies were ringing at b3g1 and the get 1 took of $0.99 instead of $0.45. So it made out to $0.36 for four candy bars. On the first transaction the candy coupon automatically took off $0.99 when it was scanned in. Then in the second transaction the cashier caught the actually price and took off $0.18 instead. Either way I spend only $0.70 on more than $10 worth of goodies.

I didn't plan the shopping trip well because all the extra overage made my total zero out. The cashier manually entered the purex target coupon to $0.69 to make the error message (total cannot be below zero) go away. I finally finished using the $5 gift card I received from the KY deal. I was even able to cash out the remaining $0.45 balance on it. I got a $5/2 Revlon Beauty Tools CAT. So I have a few months to go back and get more beauty tools.

I had so many problems with the cashier today. The coupon policy definitely came in handy. She claims she's never seen it before and made a photocopy of it to show her supervisor. We had to do the transactions a few times because the total wasn't what I expected. I saved about $16 worth of mistakes. I was able to get my rainchecked Motrin PM which was on clearance but was also on sale. So I ended up making $1 on each because the item produced +UP rewards.

I really had a good trip tonight. Was very excited to stumble upon the clearance deals and I made sure to be cruising with my coupon binder so that paid off. Also I'm very excited for more free VEET. I was kind of surprised to find a very good deal for the dental protector. I grind my teeth when I sleep and hopefully this will help. No more sore jaw when I wake up...lol!!!

CVS is the easiest drugstore to get and use a raincheck at. And I finally got a high value physician's formula CRT. Perfect timing for next week's sale.

I was very lucky to find the spring beauty guide at the cosmetics counter. The store I went to today seems to be the only one in the area that puts out the coupon books where you can easily find them. This time when I tried using the mars easter candy coupon it beeped like crazy. I couldn't figure it out until I got home and looked at the receipt. Seems like the store was already setting up for next week so the eggs were ringing at $0.29. Earlier in the week I had no problem. I was able to get overage once the cashier manually entered in the coupon. Good day to shop at Walgreens despite the weather outside.

Had to do different transactions because of the wording on the coupons...LIMIT OF 4 LIKE COUPONS in same shopping trip (P&G) and Limit one coupon or offer per transaction (target). Purchased $73 worth of merchandise for $9.37 (+ tax). I only went to the store to get some Nature Valley Granola Bars but I found all this instead. Thanks to Totally Target for posting all the awesome deals. I never would have figured out the Puffs Tissue Scenario on my own. It was a beepage free transaction. If only the Olay rebates were still valid, it would have been moneymakers.

Once again Asha got into the candy before we even walked out of the store. Although I wasn't able to get in on the purex laundry sheets trial size deal at Walmart to take advantage of the expected overage, I still scored at Walgreens.

I started with $4 RR, purchased $58 worth of merchandise for $4.42 and received $2 RR for my next shopping time.

I got so many rainchecks today. The store was very empty. Also, the new Purex Complete Softening Crystals never even arrived in time for the sale this week. Plus there was tons of clearance in oral care and I was able to get a 5pc tray table set selling for $39.99 on 75% clearance for $10. Well $0 after using +UP rewards. It's still sitting the trunk of my car. The tray table is gonna be useful since we don't sit at the dining table when we eat, well at least better than our laps or on the sofa. Did I ever mention I love love shopping at Rite Aid!!!

Instead on sleeping we went shopping at the 24 hour Walgreens. You'd think that since it's open all day, everyday, the store would have lots of product in stock but NOPE. They were out of Clearasil face wash, Purex complete crystals softener, Dial Nutriskin lotion, and Always pads. Hopefully it wasn't a shelf clearer. To add to my frustration the cashier would let me buy the right guard deodarants with the bogo coupon. Says his manager won't allow it. Showed him the coupon policy but he refused. I had to void all the deodorant off the transaction. I usually go into the store with couple different scenarios but all major items were out of stock. Then when you try to figure out a scenario in store the out of pocket is a little bit more than what you're hoping to pay or you only get a few items with the RR you're spending. I had a bad time but Asha won...she got icecream for being patient with me.

I made sure to look for the razor with the peelie on it. The cashier was super cool about my coupons. When she scanned in the deodorant only the one with gray top rang up $2 but she adjusted all the others from $4.99 to $2. When I purchased the revitalens at Rite Aid the $3 coupon beeped and had to manually entered in but there was no beepage at CVS. I'm all for hassle free transactions. Asha got into the soda and chips before I got into the checkout line. I'm so excited for my nail polish, plum night. I've found that only nail polish stops me from biting my nails...lol!!!

I've got a stock of Anti-Aging Product. It's producing register rewards all month long. I was unlucky with the cereal cups. I found out the hard way that only fruity pebbles are triggering register rewards. Oh well, love me some frosted flakes. At first I was hesistant in using the $5/1 Razor coupon but I tried it and it worked. The coupon wording is "ONE Venus ProSkin MoistureRich Embrace, or Breeze Refillable Razor AND ONE Refill." Since I didn't plan at all on what to buy beforehand I missed out on really good oral care clearance items; Oral B Barbie zooth toothbrushes - $1.29, Colgate Total (4 oz) - $1.09. That would have made for a $0.09 toothpaste.

Definitely will be going to Rite Aid later in the week. The deals are too good. So many things are on clearance from toothpaste, toothbrushes, to all kinds of makeups, and cosmetic items. Tons of deals waiting to happen...hahah. I paid $0.34 (+ tax) for $91 worth of merchandise. The sales tax is killing me. Yesterday I sat down to figure out how much I spent for the month of February and it came to $55 (and some change). The retail value would have about $550. Savings Savings Savings. Now my mom's friend is coming to me to learn how to save with coupon. Where do I begin???? How do you teach someone to coupon who doesn't use a computer??? That's how I learned...lol!!

I went shopping three different days. Got about $95 worth of merchandise for $10.50 (+ tax). Started with $10 RR and rolled it into ten different transactions. Have $9 RR left for next time (three $3 RR from baby magic lotion). I found coupons inside the Anti-Aging Product. And I got lucky with one of the Schick Hydro Razor having a peelie on it. Funny thing was I forgot to use it at the store until the next day. Nowadays with all the shelf clearing at the beginning of the week, I call to check the store if they have the sale items in stock before I go. With the rising fuel prices (almost $4/gallon), savy shoppers can't be running to the store everytime something goes on sale.
