Got some good deals on Softsoap Bodywash this week at CVS. I have gone through a lot of this at the rummage sale and it really flies off the tables, so glad to have a good deal on it for some money making action!

I did the deal three times, and I had 1 CVS Coupon to use on bodywash, so I listed this twice as once I got the 4 for $1.00 each and then the other two times I got them for $1.50 each since I didn't have a coupon.

I got my $5 giftcard from Discover for calling them about their mortgage program. I will probably use this at the grocery store or gas station. Transferred $5 to the mortgage checking for this bonus.

$60.00 Balance
-$55.00 December 2013 Principle
=$5.00 New Balance

$5.00 Balance
+$5.00 Discover Incentive
=$10.00 New Balance

I got my $250 in CVS giftcards! WHOO HOO! I requested the majority of the cards in $25 increments, that way just in case one would get lost or misplaced I would only be missing $25 or less instead of a huge chunk.

I also got a $10 off a $10 purchase coupon for Kohls. It isn't good until next week, so I will go in then and try to find something for $10 that I can get free, or I may also look for some jeans and use the $10 off on that.

I got the $5 giftcard from Discover that I earned just for calling in to ask about their mortgage rates, I will add $5 to the mortgage checking for this.

There was also a mailer from our bank for another free $5, just have to use our debit card 5 times in December. Once I earn that I will add that to the mortgage checking as well.

I entered some more Coke Points today and redeemed 625 points for a Taylor Swift/Diet Coke ear bud/bracelet. Per their website, the last day you can enter points is 11/30/13 and the last day to redeem is 12/31/13, so make sure to get your points in and redeemed before you lose your balance. Also, it is best to pick out your prize first, because any pts that are entered but not redeemed by 12/31/13 are lost. So only enter the number that you actually want to redeem at this time. I entered 627, so only losing 2 points.

I got a mailer from Discover advertising their mortgage services. It said just for calling in and speaking with a Discover Mortgage Officer you get $5. I was pretty sure they wouldn't be able to beat our rate, since we are in a 10 year loan for 2.75%, but figured I would check it out and get the free $5. I called them, it took 3 minutes total for him to verify that they wouldn't be able to beat that rate and the free $5 is on it's way to me! Once I get that I will put it in the mortgage checking!
They also asked if we needed to consolidate any debt (don't have any) or if we needed any money for home improvements or major purchases (that is what savings is for). Bet he doesn't hear those answers too often.

I went and redeemed my Discover Card rewards, which were quite high since I paid our home insurance on it for the year. I redeemed $90 in cashback rewards for $100 in CVS giftcards!

Also I recently got a Citi Thank You card that was offering a promotion of 12 months 0% interest and 15,000 bonus points for spending $1000 in the first 3 months.

My lil bro needed to pay his tuition for school and needed a credit card, so I paid the tuition on this card ($3745.00), and he gave me a check for the total. The 15,000 in pts I got equals $150 in giftcards, so I got another $150 in CVS giftcards (thought about getting different stores/restaurants, but wasn't seeing anything I really liked and I know I will eventually use the CVS ones). Also since the card is 12 months no interest, I will put the $3745 in savings for 12 months and make interest on it and then pay it off before the 0% expires!

Always thinking of a way to save a buck!!

Total for everything pictured was a profit in my pocket of $1.57!!

I had some $3.00 off Biore manufacturer coupons that I wanted to use. I wasn't sure where to go to find a good price where I could get some cheap/free items. I decided to check at Kmart since it is close to my work. I never shop at Kmart because I have bad, bad, bad customer service there, long, slow lines and our store seems very dingy. Not a fan. But I went in and checked it out and found some Biore Make-up Removing Towelettes for $2.74, plus they are BOGO 50% off - Perfect! So I got 2 and took them to the register.

Here is what I think I will be doing:

Biore Make-up Removing Towelettes
(1) $2.74 Regular Price
(1) $1.37 (50% off)
-$3.00 Mfr Coupon
-$3.00 Mfr Coupon
= -$1.89
So I anticipate I will pay $0, or may have to pay tax

But I get rang up, by a "Customer Service Supervisor" and she tells me my total is $1.57. HUH? I say, "That doesn't sound right, both of the items are under $3.00, and I have 2 $3.00 coupons. How are you getting $1.57" She says, "Well one of the was $2.74 and one was $1.37 and then I took off your two coupons and it come to $1.57". ???? Were you even listening to what you were saying? That doesn't add up at all? So she looked it again and then said, "Oh I guess the 2nd coupon didn't come off." So she adjusted it and then the total said
-$1.57. Perfect, now I won't pay anything. I anticipate she will give me my receipt. Instead she hands me my receipt....and $1.57 in cash out of the register!! WHAT?! That was new for me! I don't know if this is a normal Kmart policy, but I have never been actually handed cash when I am at the register. If your total is $0 or negative, then you just get it free here (ND), I am thinking that was not the correct way for her to handle that....and she was the supervisor?? Well anyways, I was pumped about the deal!

So the Biore Make-Up Removing Towelettes came out to a profit of .78 for one and .79 for the 2nd!!
(Marked $1.50 each for the rummage sale)
*ETA - Sold 2 for $1.50 each at 9/5/13 rummage sale
= $4.57 Profit!!

I also got some Biore at CVS, but was only able to get one. One day they let me use the coupons, and the next day I got a manager who said I couldn't use them since the amount on the coupon was more then the amount of the product. Really wish they would all be trained the same on the coupon policies.

Ok so here is the deal I was planning to do on the Herbal Essences:

Herbal Essences Shampoo or Conditioner 10.1oz
Regular Price $3.99 each
Sale Price 2/$5 ($2.50 each)
-$2.50 Mfr BOGO Free coupon
*$1.00 EB for buying 2 (limited to 1 per card)
= $1.50 for 2, or .75 per bottle

But here is the deal I acually ended up getting

Regular Price $3.99 each (Bought 22 bottles, $87.88 total)
Sale Price 2/$5 ($2.50 each, $55.00 total)
-$54.89 ($4.99 x 11) BOGO Free coupons
*Receive $11 EB ($1 for every 2 bottles purchased)
Final Price $10.89 Money Maker!!
(Keeping 2 for myself and selling the other 20, marked for $2.00 each for the rummage sale)

If I sell them all that would be a profit of $40.00 (20 bottles x $2.00)+$10.89 = $50.89!!

*ETA - Sold 11 bottles for $2.00 each at 8/23/13 rummage sale
*ETA - Sold 7 bottles for $2.00 each at 9/5/13 rummage sale
*ETA - Sold 2 bottles for $2.00 each on 6/16/14 on FB
Total Profit = $50.89!!

I was only planning on getting 2 bottles for the .75 each since you were only supposed to get the EB deal once per card, and the coupon should have taken off $2.50. But the coupons ended up taking off $4.99 instead of $2.50 and for some reason the EB printed everytime I bought 2, instead of just the once!
So I came out with 22 bottles of shampoo conditioner and I made $10.89!! SUPER DEAL!
I had about 20 of the BOGO Free coupons, I used 11 and gave the rest to my Mom and she also cashed in on this deal.

Check out these cute little riders I found that someone was throwing out! They just need a little soap, water and elbow grease and they will be ready for a kiddo to take a ride! Blows my mind what people throw out....I was driving home and they were sitting on the curb next to the garbage dumpster so I scooped them up. All the light and sound effects buttons still work too! Plan on putting about $5.00 on the Thomas the Tank Engine one, and then maybe $3.00-$4.00 on the others.

*ETA - Sold Thomas for $5.00, Mater for $5.00, and the blue one for $3.00 at the 8/23/13 rummage sale! (I decided to junk the carseat cause it was grossy dirty)
=$13.00 Profit!!

A nice smattering of freebies. Added everything to the stockpile. Also I got sent a new CVS card from my health insurance....so now I have 3 cards that I can use if there is a really good deal! Pretty excited about that!

I received an email at work that they are offering a new program to the first 500 employees that sign up. It is called Newtopia and it is to increase wellness (my work is very big on the health and wellness of their employees). I signed up for the program right away. It is completely free as my employer is paying for the entire cost of the program, when I registed it showed the cost for the year is over $1200! It is $99.00 a month plus the cost of the supplies, and for me it is FREE! YEAH! A healthcoach will be contacting me soon to help me set up and reach my goals. I got a box in the mail yesterday with my start up supplies including a large canister of whey protein, a fancy pedometer that sends your results to them electronically, a measuring tape and a saliva test that I send back to them so they can give me an initial assessment of different levels (cholestorol etc, I believe).
They also emailed me some smoothie recipes for the protein. Today I went to the grocery store and got some fruit, flaxseed, orange juice and almond milk to use for the smoothies. I plan on having them for breakfast as I am really bad at skipping breakfast. I made one tonight and it is chillin in the freezer for now.
Also I think I forgot to mention on here, but I am not eating fast food for 30 days. I started that on 7/14/13. I already lost 3lbs! It's not much, but it's a start!
