Coupon Tragedy!

This week at Walgreen's there is a pretty good deal on Huggies diapers. When you buy $25 worth of diapers/wipes you get back $10 Register reward (good on your next purchase). When you combined these with coupons printed from coupons.com (a $5 and $3 coupon- which you could print twice from each computer- and we have 2 computers) and a $1 Walgreens coupon found in a coloring book, you were looking at some pretty cheap diapers.

Well not me, anymore. After I cut out the coupons and was ready to go shopping this morning I found that some water had been spilled on the table, right where my coupons were. I guess it's not a TOTAL TRAGEDY. I was able to print 8 coupons before (they reset the limits, so I had 16 total). So instead of getting 12 packs of diapers and 4 large things of wipes, I'll be getting 4 packs of diapers and 4 large things of wipes.

Just a heads up- CVS has this same deal coming up pretty soon- the week of April 5th. Maybe I'll be able to print some more before then...

My shopping today!

Rite Aid: (3 tranasctions)
3 Contour Monitors (get back $10)
4 Listerines (get back $10) -although today I bought the wrong ones, will exchange for the right ones

2 Reese's PB cups

OOP: around $3 on a Gift Card

Walgreens: (2 transactions)
1 Fusion Razor ($6 RR back)
1 Venus Razor ($6 RR back)
4 boxes Fruit Loops ($3 RR back)
5 boxes tissues
3 resuable bags
2 Valentines Pencils

paid $22 in expired RR's (a friend sent me these because she couldn't use them) and about $2.25 cash, got back $15 in RR (which I sent back to her)

Another great Walgreens Day!!!

Final count:

12 packs of diapers

10 bug sprays

Diaper Discount anyone?

Okay, I'm going to share some of my good bargains with you. There is a sale this week at Target on Pampers, the big box is 19.99, and when you buy 2 you get a $5 gift card. That alone is not that great of of deal, but when you combine with the coupons I have- voila- a good deal. Here's the lowdown.

2 Boxes Pampers 19.99 each
2 180 count wipes 5.99 each (I think...)

$51.96 plus tax

-$2/2 pampers coupon
-$2/2 pampers coupon
-$5 Target coupon when you buy diapers and 180 or more count wipes
-$5 Target coupon when you buy diapers and 180 or more count wipes

Total: $37.96 and then you get a $5 Target gift card for your next purchase (a $19 dollar savings)

Now I haven't really bought diapers for awhile, but MY PEOPLE tell me this is a good deal for 2 boxes of diapers and 2 large things of wipes!

At Target you can use both a regular coupon and a Target only coupon

So my local Cleveland friends, does anyone want my coupons to buy themselves some diapers. I would love the deal but really can't justify spending $30 on diapers. The sale ends on Saturday, so you must be able to go this week. Either call or email me if you are interested!

I only have 2 $2/2 pampers coupons but several more $5 Target coupons.

Walgreens is soo cool this week!

6 Pro-Health toothpastes

1 Febreeze Plug in

2 Charmin Wipes

1 Venus Razor

2 Herbal Essences Shampoo/Conditioner

1 clearanced lipstick

1 pack M&M's

All this for .17 out of my pocket and $9.89 on a rebate giftcard. Plus I still have $16 Walgreen Dollars to spend and I'll send in for a free pedicure with the Herbal Essence. I used a coupon for everything except the M&M's, and I had to buy those to make me in the positive.

Bargain Shopping is good to me.

More good deals...

Cranium Adventures I got this at Target for $14.98, orig $59.99

Abby has already enjoyed hours of fun! All the pieces are

magnetic and you can build and rebuild different clubhouses

I got this one for $6.98, orig $29.99

The pieces are the same so you can add the two (or more)

together for a really fun time! (don't mind my messy house,

most of the stuff on the floor is from my shopping trip!)

I also got tons of other stuff on clearance- a lot of sporting goods stuff. I used to think Target was too expensive until I started shopping their clearance stuff.

I got of few good things at Walmart- but nothing superbly worth mentioning.

And my grocery shopping bill was $242, then came advantage card, then coupons equals $134- a 44% savings. Did I tell everyone I LOVE COUPONS! (and bargain hunting too)
