I had a bunch of coupons for household and hygiene products that will expire at the end of the year. So off to Target I went!

$1 off Herbal Essences product (already .30 on sale)
$2 off Venus Embrace Razor Cartridges
-They had a 4 pack for $15 ($3.75 per razor) or 6 pack for $20 ($3.33 per razor). So I got the 6 pack and used the coupon which made it $3.00 per razor.
$2 off deoderant
$1.50 off batteries
$1.00 off any Target product - I got cleaning wipes
$2.00 off Tampax and $1.50 off Tampax
-Also received a $5.00 gift card for Target for purchasing 2 boxes. So that came to $8.50 off the 2 boxes. Which came to .07 cents each, normally .19 each.

So total coupon savings was $11, plus $5 giftcard. So $16 in total savings, and that doesn't count the cheaper per unit prices for buying the larger quantity packages.

Used my free Vickie's underwear card today, the free pair is priced at $11.50. Then I had a coupon for Bath'n'Body Works. I don't usually shop there either cause I always have a lot of lotion that I get for gifts, but one of the coupons was a really good deal. I had 2 coupons, one for "Buy any item, get one lotion free up to $12" and one for "Spend $30 and get $10 off". So I bought a $1.50 hand sanitizer that I can stick in with someone's Christmas present and got a free bottle of lotion, priced $10.50. The other coupon I left on the shelf for some other shopper to find and use. So I got undies, lotion and hand sanitizer, grand total was $1.59! Yeah! Also walked to the mall so no money on gas and DH found a penny on the way.

I got a P & G Brandsaver add in the mail today with $42 in coupons in it. Most are for products that we don't use, but there are a couple I will keep, and the rest I will put in the coupon box at work.

We also went to the casino yesterday with a friend and came home up $2! Ha ha! Always happy if we don't lose.

I had some coupons I snagged from the coupon box at work and think we did pretty darn good!

Target
$1.00 off Herbal Essences
-Bought the economy size bottle that is cheaper per ounce, plus used the coupon to save even more
Buy a 36-60ct Tampax, get a 18-20ct box FREE
-Bought the 54ct economy size box and got $3.99 20ct box FREE

JCPenney
DH has been needing new jeans for some time, he alwasy rips the butt pockets out from keeping his wallet in that pocket! I also have been trying to keep a pair of flipflops I have had since highschool....they are my FAVORITE....cause they are so comfy, but the heel of it is literally worn down to the ground so I have been looking for some that look comfy for a long time.
2 pr jeans
-Reg $30 each, on sale for "2 for $38", plus a $10 off coupon....Total came out to $13.16 a piece so really even better then if they were BOGO free
4 pr flipflops
-Reg $12 per set of 2 pr flip flops. On sale for $5.99 per 2 pr set, plus a $10 off coupon...came out to $1.97 total for 4 prs flipflops! .48 per pair!

Really happy with the shopping today! How can you beat .48 cents a pair for cute flipflops!
Total cash savings today = $60.81
and we only spent $43.80!

Ran some quick errands today and got some amazing deals.
First I got bags of frozen chicken breast for 50% off, limit 2. Also Progresso soups $1 per can s got 10 of those. I see that sale frequently, but it really is a good deal for very yummy and healthy soup.
I had another free coupon for VS undies. This is the 2nd free pair i have gotten in a month and I NEVER shop there?! But free undies I will take, so picked those up for free, reg price $8.50.
Lastly DH got a coupon for $5 towards a $5 or more purchase from Famous Footwear. We have gotten these in the past also and try to find cheap shoes or socks that we can get for free since we have no need to spend any money with these coupons. Well we found some $5 shoes in the womens, but nothing that I would have wanted and could not find any sock packs for around $5-$6 so we ended up buying some boys sport cleets. They were regular $45, on clearance for $5, so we did not have to pay anything! We do not have any kids, but we can sell the cleet in our rummage sale. Brand new $45 cleets still in the box I am sure we can get at least $5 - $10. Feel like we did really good with the free shoes and free undies!

Had a crummy day at work, and was sooooo happy it was finally Friday. I planned on going home and relaxing. But then I remembered that DH and I both had coupons for free appetizers at a local resteraunt. So we went and had our free appetizers, and only had to pay for drinks. While out to eat I remember I had a coupon for a free pair of underwear (the lacey thong.....oooohhh aawwwww!) from Victoria Secret, so I went and picked those up for nothing OOP. Then a friend called me and said she had free tickets to our local (AAA I think?) basketball teams game tonight....so I went to the game with her and only paid for a drink and an ice cream. So very fun evening, free meal, free underwear, and free entertainment! Sweet Deal!

I got a free $10 coupon for Kohls - spend $10 get $10 off. I found tanktops on sale for $4.99 each (regularily $12.00 a piece) since 2 of them only comes to $9.98 before tax I had to get 3 to get the $10 off. So they ended up being $5.27 total for 3 tanktops - that's only $1.75 per tanktop, and a savings of $31.01! I am excited and now I have some new cute clothes for Mexico.

Well I finally finished up my Chrismas Shopping and I had a $5 off a $75 purchase at Target coupon so was able to use that when I bought $100 worth of gifts for my husband.

Coupon time at Target again - I didn't need any of this right now, but it is all stuff I will use, so wanted to use my coupons up before they expire.
Checked all the prices against the brand name, but generic was better sale for everything, and the coupons I had were for Target brand.

$1.50 off toilet paper
$1.50 off Laundry detergent
$1 off Disinfectant wipes
$1 off Dishwasher soap
$1 off Puffs
$.75 off dryer sheets
$.75 off tampons

Also bought batteries - on sale $2.10 off
Saved almost $12 on house hold products we will use.

Coupon time at Target again - I didn't need any of this right now, but it is all stuff I will use, so wanted to use my coupons up before they expire.

$1 off Aussie leave in conditioner
$1 off Skintamit shave gel
$1 off Febreeze
$2 off Venus Razor with 2 razor cartridges

The Aussie was also on sale and for some reason one of my coupons took off $1.65 instead of a $1. So a little extra savings there.

DH won $6 playing blackjack yesterday....into the Mortgage Bucket!

Got some good use of coupons today
1)Always Infinity Panty Liners - 16 count
-Coupon for Free Box (savings $3.99)
2)Puffs Tissues - 3 box pack

Plus we got a $1 off coupon for Skintimate shave gel when we checked out. I will definitely use that as well (I hate the generic shave foam....that stuff kills my skin!)

Think we did ok!

Last week I brought a little index card box to work. I put the few coupons I had that I would not use in it. And I wrote COUPONS on the top. Then I sent out an email to my dept that anyone could bring or take coupons as they pleased. I was a little worried that some would look down on this, or think it was silly. I was very surprised to immedicatley get a positive reaction! I got a few "Thank you" and "That's a great idea" emails! And the next day several coworkers brought coupons in. Now the box is very full, over 100 coupons! I have used over $8 in coupons for household/beauty products that I would normally buy anyways. I have seen 4 others take coupons too, I hope others are checking it too, as there are TONS of coupons for all kinds of products and I am sure that there is someone that could benefit from them. Anyways it is working great so far and an added bonus is that I can first dibs since it is on my desk heehee!
