More Nivea

I stopped at walgreens again today to get another free bodywash. Here's what I got.

1 Nivea $4.99 minus $1 coupon

1 Campbell's Soup 59 cents with in-ad coupon

5 highlighters clearanced to ten cents each







I paid with my $5 RR from the blood monitor mentioned previously and had a balance of 8 cents left. I paid that with my walgreens gift card.


Received a $5 RR for purchasing Nivea.


Total Cost: $0.08

Happy Birthday To Me

For my birthday, I told Matt I wanted a new stove. He wasn't so sure, saying he couldn't see anything wrong with our current stove. (Of course he couldn't.....he doesn't cook.....) He agreed and we went to look at a few models. We found some we like and came home to make a decision. That was last weekend.....

On Thursday night as I was cooking dinner, long story short, our current stove freaked out. There was a loud popping sound and then the light was on saying the stove was on....but the stove was NOT on. It couldn't be turned off....even though it wasn't heating. About an hour later, the top was still warm even though it was off. I was afraid it might burn down the house or something, so we had to just unplug it.

So much for nothing being wrong with the stove.....

This added the needed motivation to actually BUY the new stove...

Without further ado....

Walgreens

There are some nice deals to be had at walgreens this week. Here is one trip I made today.

I walked in the store with a $2 RR (register rewards coupon) and a $5 RR. I left with:

3 12-packs of pepsi

1 Nivea Body wash

1 Rembrandt toothpaste

1 Double sided tape (for Matt)

2 Pens

1 Contour Blood Glucose Monitor

I paid $2.54 in actual cash because I forgot my giftcard and walked out with a $3 RR and a $5 RR.

Considering Matt's double sided tape was $3, I thought I did pretty well.

And for those wondering: No, I'm not diabetic. I had a coupon to get the monitor for free, and when you buy one, a $5 RR prints. So, I let them PAY ME to take the thing. My dad is diabetic, so he'll use it!

99%

More deals....

This week at Kroger is full of freebies! I had my best-ever trip today. Here's what I got:

1 Suave Deodorant

3 Angel Soft 4-packs

1 Steamfresh rice (not pictured)

1 Special K Cereal

1 Sierra Mist 2 liter

3 Pillsbury brownie mixes

I had expected my total to be about $1.50 because the only thing I was actually paying for was the cereal. Everything else was free with my coupons. But, for some reason, the cashier scanned some other coupon at the end for an additional $1 off (I don't know why) and then he told me that my total was FOUR CENTS! Can you believe that?? Four cents! At the end of my receipt it says "Total savings, 99%." That's clearly my highest ever!!!

Kroger has a limit of three like coupons (per transaction) that will double or triple and since I had more than three of most of those freebie coupons, I did make a couple different trips. Total, I got 4 deodorants, 4 brownie mixes, 4 steamfresh rice bags, and I'm up to 8 of the angel soft. I have a few coupons for the toilet paper left so I'll still be getting more of those.

Isn't free stuff fun!?!?
