Walgreens school supplies

With all 5 of us in school full time, it seems impossible to keep a pen or pencil laying around and not having it disappear! So I took full advantage this week of Walgreens starting some back to school sales and stocked up! I had a bunch of 1$ RR to burn through from the Sure deodorant so I used those on my transactions.

In all I ended up with
21- 10 count packs of wooden pencils
13-5 count packs of mechanical pencils
17-10 count packs of pens (blue and black)
1- Cutter mosquito wipes that were on clearance

This was a total of 53 items

Albertsons 6/28

There are some great deals this week at albertsons! I had a budget this week of 60$ since it was my daughters birthday. And of course part of that I had to use to buy milk and bread and some fruits and veggies. I was able to get all of this stuff and STILL stay under my budget buy using coupons and doublers and I had a few rain checks that I used too.

My total amount before coupons and savings was $292.02
But after coupons I spent $30.72.......This is a 91% savings! I was able to get 110 items which====28 cents an item!!!! Wow!

Smiths super doubles

This last week at Smith's they have been doubling all coupons that are less than 1$ and making them all worth 1$ which makes for some amazing free stuff. My goal is to try and keep better track of what it is exactly that I am buying each week. Here are my purchases for today.

11 tubes of Colgate toothpaste. They were already on sale for 1$ each. I had 11 coupons that were worth $0.75 and they doubled them to make them worth 1$ so all 11 tubes were FREE!
The pickles were on a special savers deal for 2/4$ marked down from 3.29 each. There were $0.75 blinkie coupons by them which made them only 1$ each after the coupons doubled. The pizza rolls were on sale for 1.25 and I had 35cent coupons so when they doubled those they came out to $0.25 each. The bounty paper towels were 1.09 and the $0.25 coupon doubled up to a dollar which made the paper towels 9 cents!

Total before savings and coupons was $49.39

Total spent after coupons was $4.90!!! (I had 4-$1 catalinas that I used towards the total)

Kmart Super Doubles

This week is super doubles week at Kmart. They will double any coupon up to $2, so really that gives you $4 off a product so there is a lot of stuff that you can get for free. The catch is, they are limiting it to 5 coupons per day that will double. If I didn't live right next to Kmart, I would think that this wasn't worth it, but since it is less than 1 mile from my house, it is definitely worth the trip.

So far this week I have done 5 transactions.

Transaction #1 and 2
-5 softscrub kitchen cleaners at 2.99 each and doubles 1.50 coupon which= free
-2 gillette body washes were $4 each and doubled $2 coupon which =free
-4 head and shoulders shampoo and conditioner. These were on sale for 4.50 each. there were BOGO coupons and also 1$ off coupons so I paid 2.50 for a shampoo and got the conditioner for free.
-Always products were also BOGO and doubled $2 coupon off which made them 2.29 for both of them
For all of these things together including tax I spent $12.84 BUT I can also submit it for a $10 rebate which means that in the end I ended up paying $2.84
and I saved 72.41
Transaction #3
-Kandoo kids wipes 3.25 and used 1$ and doubled it=1.25 each
-pledge wipes 2.99 each and used 1$ and doubled it=.99 each
-1 candy bar that was .49 (which isn't pictured because I ate it!)
-total amount=6.59 but then I used a 5$ gift card that I had received awhile ago for another purchase and so my total amount for this transaction was $1.59
and saved 15.33

Transaction #4

-6 packages of Gillette and Mach 3 razors. These were on sale for $6 a package and there were BOGO coupons and a $2 coupon to double which made it only $2 for 2 packages.
-2 Kandoo wipes at 3.25 and doubled $1 coupon=1.25 each

Great week at Albertsons

It is such an awesome week at albertsons! Not only do they have week long doubles, but also many great deals and catalinas going on! Definitely if you are in need of fruit snacks for your kids this is the week to stock up as they are only 0.10-0.30$ each when you buy them in groups of 5!! Also they have another great promotion going on that is called the "Chill" promo. You buy things in lots of 10 and get 10$ back. The great thing is almost everything on this promo has a coupon available and most of them can be doubled!!! Also, another deal going on is the ConAgra catalina, spend 25$ get 10$ back. All Dannon yogurts are included in this sale and they almost all have 0.75-1.00$ coupons that can be doubled so that is also an awesome deal.

So in a total of 2 separate trips (yesterday and today) I did a total of 18 transactions.

I got a total of:

55 boxes of fruit snacks

12 cans bumble bee tuna

5 oreo cakesters

4 welch's chilled juices

10 apple cranberry frozen juice concentrates

1 gallon milk

1 angel soft toilet paper 12 double roll packs

10 boxes Bagel-fuls in assorted flavors

This is a total of 109 items which = $0.33 per item

or a total savings of 89%

I am so excited about this!!! And don't rain on my parade and say I am a fruit snack hoarder! I asked the manager if I should have her special order some for me because I didn't want to be greedy but they told me that they have tons of them in the back and more coming in on Saturday so to take as many as I needed.

Purex 3-1 sheets at walgreens, super cheap!

There is a really good deal this week at Walgreens on the Purex 3-1 sheets. they are usually 7.99 each but they are on sale this week for 2/9$ -1$ RR. Combine that with the awesome BOGO coupon that was in the paper a few weeks ago plus there are also 1$ printable or blinkie coupons out there that you can use on the one you pay full price for. Also the bandaids were on clearance for 2.22 but when I used the coupon from the kids activity book for 2$ off each one it made them only $0.29 each!

Total spent for 2 transactions was $6.70
Total saved was $33.96

Walgreens

Total spent between 5 transactions was $13.40
Total saved was $107.27!
I am so excited about this for 4 reasons:
1-I got the 8x10 photo collage for free from an online code and it turned out adorable
2-Those Boogie Wipes were such an awesome deal and they work so well on my son's g-tube
3-I can submit my reciepts for the Olay to a rebate so I will recieve a $15 check so really after all is said and done it is like I made $1.60 on all this stuff!!!
4- I can submit the reciepts for the razors to the Proctor and Gamble Year of Savings and recieve an awesome coupon book worth $100

Quaker sale!

Fabulous day!!!!!!
I was able to get all of this for just 32.99!!!!!
I had a total savings of 284.56!!!
Albertson's already has an awesome deal on all of their quaker products. when you buy them in groups of 5 it makes them $1 each. Well I was able to pair this sale with an amazing coupon that took 3$ off every 5 items. So for each 5 items I bought I paid 2$ or .40 each!!!
My total for the trip was
5 boxes breakfast cookies
36 boxes granola bars
10 boxes cinnamon life cereal
10 boxes cinnamon oatmeal squares
14 boxes captain crunch!!!

The store was so well stocked and they said they had tons more cases of things in the back so that was great! I didnt have to feel guilty like I was depleting them of their stock because I barely made a dent in it!! I am waiting for some more coupons that I ordered from ebay to go for another round and get my oatmeal this time. But waiting is sooooooo hard!!!

Albertson's 1/18

This all would have cost me 324.54 but I was able to get it for just 84.22!!!!
That is a total savings of 240.32!
I was able to get 86 items which breaks down to 98 cents per item!
I had to do 10 different transactions because of my double coupons but it was worth the time it took. I think that it is safe to say that I have enough cereal to last us through summer!!
