Blogging break....

I really want to find the time to blog again but I have been busy with life. I guess blogging is not what I am supposed to do right now.

I am still couponing and searching out the great deals but I just don't have the time to post them.

There are so many great money saving sites out there so please be sure and check them out. I hope someday soon I can get back to posting my great deals but in this season in my life I have to bow out.

Thanks for following along and hopefully I will see you soon....

Walgreen's sales and other ramblings....

I haven't been able to blog in awhile but have a few minutes to catch you up on some things.

Walgreen's has discontinued their rebate program. You will no longer see the free after rebate in their ads. They are offering more register rewards now so be sure and check out this weeks specials at Itship2Save.

There are 2 inserts in today's paper. I picked up my usual 2 Oklahomans and 1 Tulsa World.

I have actually been shopping Target a little more. Trying to learn the ropes so I can take full advantage of the new Target at 101st. You can check out this weeks ad here.

While my hubby and I were at Target Friday night taking advantage of the dog food deal I saw a lady checking out with a stack of coupons. She had a small gathering of people around her watching her total go down. Of course I had to stop and watch. Her total was $661.47 before coupons, 20 minutes later after all coupons had been scanned she walked out with 3 carts full for $221.00!! My jaw hit the floor and I stood their in awe.

I got to talking to her and she told me couponing is a full time job for her. She gets many of her multiple coupons on ebay. She also works at Target part time and knows how to take full advantage of their store. I wish I had more time to spend on coupons but think I do very well with what I have to work with right now. : )

Savings....

be sure and check out It's Hip 2 save for the coupons in tomorrows paper and for all the Walgreen's deals this week.

I haven't been shopping except for milk and produce!

No coupons...

keep your money this weekend! No coupons in this Sunday's paper due to Easter.

If your still following my poor pathetic blog I'm still here. I haven't done much shopping this week and the deals I have taken advantage of can be found here.

Someday soon I hope to back up and running. I will continue to post when I can.

Sunday's paper....

if you have ever thought about using coupons this Sunday would be a great time to start! There are going to be 5 inserts in this weeks paper.

I would go for the Oklahoman because they have the better coupons. I will be buying multiple papers for sure!

Target and Walgreen's....

I was finally able to do some shopping yesterday and it was good! I don't have much time to post these days. Life seems to be getting in the way so be sure to check out MoneySavingMom and ItsHip2Save for great deals everyday.

Here is how my shopping went yesterday:



This was my first trip to Walgreen's. OOP $7.22 before tax, got back a free Crest toothpaste coupon and a free Softsoap body was coupon. Made $.11 overage on each of the Reynolds Wraps. The Contour meter I will donate to AABA. I got 8 items for free thanks to coupons.

Next stop was Target:



Total OOP $3.29 There should have been 3 bags of fruit snacks but the kids ate 2 bags as soon as we got in the car. Got $.11 cents overage on each bag thanks to the Target coupon. The band aids were also free. The Kashi cereal is on sale for $1.99 and I had a $1.00 off coupon. That was a great buy! Got 6 items for free.

I went back to Walgreen's and got these three items for FREE just paid tax.



I am making one more stop at Target today to see if I can pick up some more free fruit chews and Cheetos snacks.

If you have any questions or want specifics on anything please leave me a comment or send me an email.

Free bowling all Summer long.....

Your kids can bowl 2 free games all Summer long at several bowling alleys in the Tulsa area. Check it out here!

FYI: I just checked and there is a shoe fee of $2.99 per child. It might be worth it to try and find some cheap bowling shoes, especially if you plan on going every week.

Money Saving Blog....

for those that attended my coupon class the other night this is the blog I was telling you about. She posts some awesome savings! You can also get this weeks Walgreen's deals.

My brother and his family will be here this week so I'm not sure I'll get any shopping done but if I do I will be sure and post!

Deals this week.....

We have been gone all weekend, hopefully you've checked out CommonSenseWithMoney for this weeks Walgreen's deals.

There are 3 coupon inserts in the paper this week with some really good coupons to go with the Dove deal at Wags.

My Target and Walgreen deals today....

I finally had a chance to do some shopping and it felt good to get some great deals. I went to the new Target first with some coupons I had printed from the Target site. They were out of the free goldfish but that's ok. I did get all of this for $7.00.



I got 4 packages of cheese, 2 bags of Chex Mix, 2 cans of soup, 3 packages of steaks and 2 deals of applesauce. I asked about the $5.00 off $25.00 coupon that went out in the mail and the cashier had one in her drawer that she scanned for me. The only thing I used manufacturer's coupons on were the applesauce everything else was a Target printable. Total saved $23.94.

I went to Walgreen's next and got all of this for $1.50 after Register Rewards and coupons I received back.



The shampoo and hairspray I got for free, the Orbit gum was on clearance for $.65, bought 3 and used the $.99 ESR coupon. I received an $8.00 RR for the 3 foam washes I bought that were on clearance, and I got a Catalina for free Irish Spring body wash. Total saved $32.82.

I want to say a special Thank You to my new friend for the blessing at Walgreen's. You know who you are. ;)

Lots of great deals....

When I started using coupons and blogging I never expected to take it to the level that I have. I am having a hard time keeping up with all the great deals out there and by not posting them you are also missing out! Life has been keeping me busy with working and school so I want to share some websites with you that do a much better job at posting the deals. Please bookmark these sites and check them on a regular basis.

I will continue to post deals that I find, pictures of my savings, and other deals that I find time for. It helps keep me accountable! I will still post the weekly Walgreen's deals here to.

Here are 3 of my favorite sites that I check very often through out the day....

MoneySavingMom...Crystal is a home school mom of 2 beautiful girls with one on the way. This is one of the first money savings sites I found and inspired me to start.

CommonSenseWithMoney....Mercedes does a great job of posting several times a day and this is where I get all my Walgreen's info from.

It's Hip 2 Save....this is a site that someone mentioned to me and she has some incredible savings deals on her site!

I hope you will continue to check out my blog!

Walgreen's....

Here are the Walgreen's deals for this week. It is a huge week for diaper deals. Hopefully you can stock up.

I have been very busy and have not a had a chance to post. I will be back this afternoon with 3 of my favorite websites for you to get caught up on all the great deals out there. I don't want anyone to miss out because I can't get the deals posted.

Be watching for those later. Thanks to Mercedes for putting these together.

My Wal-Mart deals.....

I was finally able to make it to the grocery store yesterday. Since I had been able to create a stockpile we were able to make it through the month of February with very little out of pocket for groceries. I made a trip to Aldi on occasion but only to pick up produce, milk, and eggs.

I was able to save $47.00 on my grocery bill and the above items I got for free or very cheap.

If you have any of the $4.00 fusion razor coupons left Wal-Mart has a Holiday pack on clearance for $4.00 so I got 2 for free. These have the razor, shampoo, and shaving gel in them. Wish I has some more coupons.

The Old Spice I price matched with the Reasors ad who has them on sale for $1.59 a piece. I had 2 $1.00/2 coupons so I got 4 for $1.09 a piece.

The Sunsilk was on clearance for $1.50 a piece and I had coupons for $2.00/2 so I got these for $.50 a piece. The Axe deodorant was on clearance for $1.50 and it's a twin pack. The other items I got for free with either coupons I got in the mail or BOGO coupons that I used.

It feels good to have a house full of food again. I am going to try to go to Walgreen's tomorrow to take advantage of all the great deals they have this week.

Free Dove bar soap at Walgreen's....

Walgreen's has an unadvertised deal on Dove soap right now. There is a 7 day coupon in this weeks ad for $.99. If you buy 4 you get a $2.00 register reward, buy 6 get $6.00 or buy 8 and get a $10.00 register reward. The best deal is to buy 8.

The deal would look like this: $12.72 - $4.80 for 7 day coupon, pay $7.92 oop plus tax and get a $10.00 register reward good on your next purchase.

These are a great item to stock up on and do really well in yard sales. I was able to sell my last stockpile of Dove soap for $2.00 each.

Thanks Mercedes for the great deal.

No pictures from me....

I had good intentions of shopping Friday but that didn't happen. I had a husband to get to the airport and a son going camping. Got them both off and was to tired to do anything else.

I really need to go to the grocery store so hopefully I will have some pics soon.

Walgreen's has some good deals this week and you can check them out at CommonSenseWithMoney. Thanks to Mercedes for putting these great deals together.

Remember today is the last day for February rebates at Walgreen's, be sure and pick up your March book next time your in the store.

Awesome diaper deal.....

If your looking for a great deal on diapers your in luck! Beginning March 8th, a week from tomorrow Walgreen's will have the jumbo packs of Huggies on sale for $10.00 each. When you buy $25.00 in diapers you will receive a register reward for $10.00 off your next purchase. With 3 coupons to go along with this you will get 3 jumbo packages for $5.00 after coupon and RR savings.

Go to coupons.com to print coupons for $3.00 and $5.00 off your next Huggies purchase. You should be able to print both of these twice.

My upcoming shopping trip....

It has been a very tight month and I am looking forward to doing some grocery/Walgreen's shopping tomorrow! I have been very thankful for the stockpile that I had to fall back on.

My plan tomorrow is to go to Aldi and stock up on fresh produce/milk/eggs, over to Walmart to finish up my shopping and than onto Walgreen's to see if there are any deals left. Ok, maybe not in that order but you get the idea. I will be searching the web today for as many great deals as I can find. I will post if I come across something good.

I will post pictures when I get it all home!
