Great Robitussin Deal at Wags

I've done the great deal at Wags-Buy 5 $4 Robitussins for $20-$5 in $1 Manu Q's-$10 RR=$5 OOP
RECEIVE...$5 RR + $10 RR +$5 RR...This deal is good until 12/31/08.

I was able to do this deal 4 times- 3 times with Robitussin and 1 time with Dimetapp ( I used every single $1 Robitussin and Dimetapp Q I had-some people are printing out internet $2 Q's and making this deal a bigger money maker). But I decided to roll all of my $10 Conair Hairdryer RR's and all of them BEEPED! Now I have $90 in RR's-need to use them by 1/12/09!

Great time and deals at CVS

My gals and I went to CVS this AM at about 8:05. They were out of a few of the freebies already!! We got great deals and ran over to another CVS about 2 miles down the road. We were able to get most everything but the Arm and Hammer Essentials and the joint stuff for $29. Overall, we are VERY happy. The manager at the first CVS was so nice and commented on how nice it was for me to bring my daughters and "tutor" them on Q-poning.

I got quite a stash of ECBs...I just luv CVS.

Great shopping Day

I had a great shopping day!! It started off with a CVS run with my daughter Amanda. She is a Q-poner in training!! She was very pleased with her buys today! I had to get a prescription filled for my colonoscopy on Tuesday (boo) and we had to pass by the coupon spitter outer on the way to the pharmacy. Amanda scored a get a $25 GC for a NEW or transferred prescription and a $5/15!! My Q's were not exciting at all..... anyway, she suggested that we use her Q for my prescription since she doesn't need any prescribed meds!! Then she wanted me to have the GC!!

Well, we both had great deals and when Amanda checked out another $5/15 Q was added on to her receipt!! Of course, I got nothing!!

I decided to do some trading for that lovely GC-Amanda got a Crest Spin Tooth brush, 2 Arm and Hammer Laundry Detergents, and a $5 RR to use at Walgreens this week!

Later this afternoon, I went back to CVS. I wanted to finish my exedrin deal (bought 2 exedrin's in the morning and wanted to gather up 2 more Q's for this deal) and use my $5/30 email Q.

What a great deal-

2 exedrin ($5.39 each) 10.78

3 boxes of fiber one bars(3 x $10) 10.00

3boxes of fiber one caramel delight cereal. (3 x $10) 10.00

= 30.78

used 5/30 Q -5.00

man Qs -6.00

ECBs -18.99

TOTAL OOP CASH..........................................$0.79!!

RECEIVED $20.00 in ECB's

Rollin the RRs with Detergent and Ibuprophen

get $5 RR back
THIS LOOKS LIKE A MM TO ME

WAGS Deal

I'm looking forward to this week's midweek deal --spend $25-get $5 RR-my plan is to buy some Arm and Hammer laundry detergent and fillers. I also want to get the Loreal Pro Calcium for the rebate-and it's 25% off this week. I have several $5 RR's to roll from last week's midweek deal-I got a whole heap of Walitin last week-realized I could roll those RR's and get great deals.....I was in Q-pon heaven. I plan to get several Arm and Hammer detergents tomorrow!!

I've had great luck using the maybelline BOGO this week with the $4 lipstick/gloss Q-I was able to use 2 $4 Q's at 2 different stores and got the overage to pay for other great deals. My daughter was not as lucky-the WAG's we went to last night would only let her use 1 Q-said she could only use 1 Q b/c it was a BOGO...she was still happy with her deal-but it got me upset-that WAG's always give me problems with Q's---I won't be going back to that WAG's-


On to CVS-I was given a 30% off friend's and family Q last Saturday!
I used it Sunday and practically finished my Christmas shopping! I bought some very nice gifts.
I took my daughter to CVS last night on a Q lesson-she got some great deals and received $13+ in ECB's-I gave her 2 Sunday papers, 2 Reinventing Beauty mags and 2 Diabetes books with Q's...

Perfect Deal at WAGS

I went in to grab the coke deal-buy $15 of products and get $5 RR-they didn't have enough diet coke, so I decided to grab 4 Walitin's that are on sale for $.99 with coupon. Total after coupon$3.96 and out popped a $5 RR.......because total was over $25 before coupon!!!
Yippee-we take Walitin every single day-this will really be put to good use. I've stopped at every Walgreen's I pass every day-will continue to take advantage of this deal until it is over.

I bought undies at WAGS

I decided to do the Hanes deal at Walgreens- I had the $5/$25 Q and needed some new bras.........2 bras came out to 14.96-they are 25% off this week (of course, my luck to be .04 short of $15, so I also got a sportsbra for $4.85 (not exactly sure of the price) more, so I got 3 bras for under $20, used the $5/$25 Q with some other items and got the $5 RR back.

Missing ECB's

I was finally reorganizing my Q's and looking through my ECB's and realized that 2 of my ECB's did not print out on Thursday! I called the CVS # and got my ECB's aded on my EC card-just need to go get them printed out at a store within 48 hours......need to go today anyway, need to use my febreze Q's that expire today for the febreze deal

Took Advantage of CVS Black Friday sales on Thursday

Darlin Dan and I ran to CVS at 8:00 Thursday morning-we got everything on our list and then some-we have $125 in ECB's between us and we are happy!!

I also got the Turtle candy today-on sale for 2/$5
and I used the $1.50 man. Coupon for each box of candy=
$1 per box of candy-
So far I have 8 boxes of Turtle candy for $1 each. (Great Christmas gifts!)

STILL NO WAGS G.C.

We've had a great week making great deals!!

Darlin Dan went with me on Sunday! We had such a great time. Darlin Dan was so excited when he gave the cashier at CVS 28 cents for $52 worth of merchandise, while getting back $30 back in ECBs. The battery deal is such a perfect deal if you have the $5/2 CVS coupon. I was able to get 4 of them on Saturday. The cashier had them behind the counter and she would've given me more, but I honestly didn't think I would use more (stupid me). Anyway, our Sunday super shopping- OOP $19 for $220 worth of merchandise and we have about $70 ECBs between us.

I'm still waiting for my Walgreen's GC................I have a couple of deals to make on Friday/Saturday!!

Got the $5 off 2 Duracell packs at CVS

Was able to find some of those precious and valuable Q's today-had to ask the cashier-they had them behind the counter!

Where oh Where Can My Wags GC be?

I'm still waitin for my WAGS GC!! Hope I get it before black friday!

I started with $16.48 of ECB's. Now have $21.58 of ECB's. Wanted to have a lower cash OOP, but I'm happy overall with the deal. Still learnin this game..............

WAGS Good Deal

Good deals
I read on someone's blog about the Goody (hair accessories) ouchless coupon on the internet and how you could combine it with the walgreen's coupon in the December rebate book.......I got a very nice hair brush for .99! (stocking stuffer)
I also read about the Soleil razor deal-I had already cashed in on the other razor deal at wags and had some Soleil $3 coupons. Wags has $3 coupon in the December rebate book................ $.99!!(nice stocking stuffer)
I then took advantage of the sale price of Tag spray for men-$2.99 and I had a $1 coupoon-a good stocking stuffer for 1.99!
I really went for some 9V batteries-Walgreen's has a b1g1 store coupon-searched high and low and finally found those suckers....got 4 9V batteries-1.98(necessities)
Didn't use any RR's have another week before they expire.

So here's the totals
18.93-subtotal
-12.98 coupons
+.48 tax
=6.43 OOP

Not a perfect deal, but got some very nice items to tuck away for X-mas!I'm impatiently waiting for my $73 GC-my first WAGS rebate!!

Disappointed in Walmart

Walmart would not accept my internet coupons this evening, and they overcharged me on some ice cream!!

Kinda good deal at Target

So I was chasing the perfect deal at Target.........The one where you buy 4 glade holiday products and get a $5.00 Target gift card. These products are on sale for $2.50 and I could smell a perfect deal.

I wanted the glade candle holders on sale for 2.50 (I could use a buy 1 get 1 free coupon) and could make a perfect deal,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
However, easier said than done, I guess these puppies are almost sold out. I did get 2 plug ins and 2 candle refills and 1 candle(had to throw it in since I found 1 in all my searches)

I used a b1g1 coupon for the plug ins and a $1.50 off coupon for the refills.
Paid OOP about $8.00 and got a $5.oo Target GC. I could've deleted the candle and saved $2.50 plus tax, and my deal would've been close to perfect! Just couldn't resist the candle (and it had more coupons inside the box!).

Will try 1 more Target today!!

2 Things I've learned about WAGS --that will help you make a more perfect deal

2 things I've learned this week at WAGS:

1. have the same number of items as coupons-I started being much more diligent with this and it has worked!
2. If you want more than one item that gives RR's-try to split the transactions--the RR deal - Buy $10 in selected Kraft products, get $3 RR (9/26 to 10/25) would only work if it was the only RR deal in the transaction (learned the hard way-but took my items back and did it separately-and it worked like a charm)

Wow! $7 coupon off in the Trial Crest Whitestrips box

Thanks to this blog...http://savvysavingmomma.blogspot.com/ I discovered that I have another coupon for $7 off Crest Whitestrips!!! It was in the box of Trial Whitestrips I just snatched at CVS.

Close to Perfect Deal at CVS

I finally found one of these trial size Crest Whitestrips! I had 1 $7.00 off coupon for any Crest Whitestrips and was able to use it on this trial size, price $5.99. I got this FREE-OOP $0...................the reason why this wasn't perfect-on some of the blogs people were able to actually able to get the entire $7 off if they bought another Proctor and Gamble product. That didn't work for me.

Anyway, FREE is a good thing!
