A little shopping

November 21st, 2012 at 03:11 am

I picked up a few things for Thanksgiving dessert and went to use some coupons I got in the mail.

$10 off $10 purchase at JCP
-When I get these I usually try to find something for $10 so I get it for free, but after doing the clothes inventory of my room, I have sooooo much socks and gloves and things that would be $10 or so. I tried on a few shirts, and ended up finding some yoga capris. I go through these pretty frequently cause I wear them working out and can also wear them to work. I found a pair for $20, and then had my $10 coupon so that was a good price. Then when I checked out, they rang up on clearance for $14! So after my coupon got them for $4! YEAH!

I also had a coupon for a free sample of See's Candy. I went to the stand in the mall and got 2 for free, one for me and one for DH.

I needed a gift bag for my bro's BD present, so stopped at the Dollar Store and got 9 bags, 2 Wedding, 2 Baby, and 5 BD. That way I will be stocked up for awhile.

More CVS Shopping and Menards

October 17th, 2012 at 09:21 pm



I went to Target and the TP I got at CVS was $18.99 per pack! At CVS after EB and coupons it was only $3.07 per pack! Wow what a huge savings! So I went back and got some more on DH's card. I was going to get all of the same things as I did on Sunday on my card, but they were out of the Revlon beauty tools that I wanted, and I found a better deal on the Tampax, so I did this instead.

Charmin UltraSoft TP - 16 Double Rolls(Bought 3 packs)
Regular Price $15.99 per pack
-$6.00 Sale Price each
-.25 Mfr coupon (3 = .75 off)
-$10.00 off $50 purchase (I am taking this coupon of the TP, cause I wouldn't have used the coupon without purchasing the TP)
*Received $10.00 EB for spending $30 on select P&G
Final Price for 48 double rolls (96 regular rolls) = $9.22 ($3.07 per pack) or just .19 per double roll (.10 per reg roll)

Skintimate Shave Gel
Regular Price $3.99
*Received $2.00 EB
Final Price $1.99

Tampax Radiant 32ct
Regular Price $8.49
-$1.50 Sale Price each
-$2.00 Mfr Coupon
*Received $2.00 EB
Final Price $2.99 (.09 per tampon)
**If you get Tampax Radiant, make sure you get the boxed marked with "Coupons Inside". They have great coupons in theses! The smaller boxes have $2.00 off coupons, and the big boxes have $3.00 off coupons!**

Since I couldn't get the Revlon tools, I needed some filler items to get to the $50 purchase so I could use my $10 off coupon. So I got some Bowl Appetit meals that I use at work for lunch. They are really nice to keep in my desk since I don't have to keep in the fridge and all you have to do is add water. Great for a quick lunch in the winter. (These are not pictured cause they are already in my drawer at work).

Bowl Appetite Meals (Bought 8)
Regular Price $2.19
-$1.19 Sale Price
Final Price $1.00 each

Simply Asian Meals (Bought 2)
Regular Price $2.37
-$1.17 Sale Price
Final Price $1.00 each

Then after work I went to our other CVS and used my Mom's card. I used one of the $3.00 off coupons I got from the Tampax I purchased earlier.

Tampax Radiant 32ct
Regular Price $8.49
-$1.50 Sale Price
-$3.00 Mfr Coupon
*Received $2.00 EB
Final Price $1.99 (.06 per tampon)

So now I have another $3.00 coupon to use next time they are on sale. I also have 2 coupons to use on those Tampax trial packs, so I can get 2 free. I will wait and get those on Sunday in case I can use another $10.00 off a $50.00 purchase coupon.



Then I went to Menards and got a few FREE items:

All of these items will go in the rummage sale. Not sure what I am marking them yet though, need to research. I never have to pay anything OOP when I go to Menards, I just keep using my rebates, then get more items that have rebates, then use those rebates to get more items that have rebates....and keeps going in a loop so I never actually have to pay anything other then the first time.

Coupon Book

October 12th, 2012 at 04:18 pm

I bought a coupon book from a local elementary school student. It cost $20 and has coupons for numerous local businesses, mostly restaurants. After I purchased the booklet I noticed that 3 of the pages are for places that are no longer in business. Boooo!

But I still think the booklet will be a great deal. I am going to track what I save and see how much I actually saved by purchasing the booklet.

We already used it once at a local pizza place.

Fire at Parents Rental Property

October 11th, 2012 at 08:52 pm

My parents own several rental properties, mostly duplexes. They had one trailer (this was actually their first home that they moved out of 26 years ago) and about a week ago it burned down. The cause of the fire was under investigation and I have not heard an update on it yet, but sounds like probably was a cigarette left unattended on the deck. Everyone got out ok and no injuries, but they did lose their cat. Frown
The deck was where the fire began and the deck, living room and kitchen were affected the most. The fire did not spread to the bedrooms or bathroom, but of course everything was engulfed in smoke and soot.
My parents are obviously upset because their rentals are a big part of their retirement income. All of the rentals are paid off and the money goes into a joint account (my parents divorced amicably a few years ago). My Mom is 57 and she retired a few years ago. My Dad is 59 and will probably retire in the next 5 years or so. Not only do they lose the income from the property, but they also have to pay to have the trailer pulled out of the trailer court and disposed of, and to have the lot cleaned up so the trailer park can rent the spot to someone else. Luckily my parents are great at saving a buck (I LEARNED FROM THE BEST!) and they are doing what they can to soften the blow. They sold the shed for $50, they sold a separate room (my Dad had built on to the trailer 20+ years ago) for $100 (this also saved on the cost for pulling it out), they also sold the water heater (I think for $50?). Of course they have insurance on the building, so they will get that, but in the long run it doesn’t help much. They also took out the toilet, the kitchen sink, the washer and dryer, and a few other items that they could salvage and keep to use on their other rentals as needed.
So my Mom called the renter and told them to make sure they come and take everything they can before they pull the trailer out. The girl comes by and essentially tells my Mom she can’t save anything there and leaves. Yes, I feel bad about the fire, but if I had that happen to me and had nothing now, I would be on my hands and knees digging through the soot trying to save anything I could. She just doesn’t want to put any effort or elbow grease into it. So once she said she didn’t need want anything else in there my Mom went through and took anything worth value. She got 2 whole garbage bags of food, mostly canned goods, (the kitchen wasn’t actually one fire, but it is off the living room where the fire was), and also some boxed items, cereals, pastas and taco shells, all unopened, nothing burned, just has marks where the smoke was. What is wrong with them? NOTHING! She also got a blender, an electric griddle and over 200 DVDs! The DVDs were in the living room, and the cases on all of them are a little melted, but there are nothing wrong with the DVDs, she tried them in her DVD player and they work fine, so she is going to clean them off as best she can and see if she can get $1 a piece at the rummage sale. So at least they will get some money back from this loss…but I just can’t believe that girl left all that stuff there when she has nothing. She even left her daughter’s baby pictures there after my Mom specifically pointed them out and asked her if she wanted to take them. 
My Mom gave me a bag of food as well, mostly boxed pasta and rice. I will go through that this weekend to make sure everything is ok and get it transferred into better containers.

Rebates

October 8th, 2012 at 03:53 am

I had 2 rebates I have been waiting for, got both of them in the mail this last week.

P&G rebate - $5.00 for spending $30.00 on select P&G products. The nice thing about this rebate is you qualify with a "retail price" of $30.00....you don't have to actually spend $30.00. So I had got numerous items from CVS (Covergirl and Herbel Essences) that I had bought for cheap (some of them were items I sold for profit at the rummage sale). I was surprised when I got the rebate in the mail, it wasn't a check, it was actually a $5.00 Visa Pre-Paid Debit Card. Which is nice I guess, I can use it on a future CVS trip!

Cremo Cream Shave Rebate - This rebate was a TMF (Try Me Free) rebate. I got a check in the mail for $7.99, the full cost of the item, plus I also got 3 coupons to give to my friends so they can get it free also. I have not used this product yet, but my Mom did and she liked it, so once this can of shaving foam is gone I will try it to see if I like it.

CVS Deals Week of 9/30/12 - Steal on Pantene!

September 30th, 2012 at 07:18 pm



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

Pantene Shampoo/Conditioner 12.6oz
Regular Price $5.00 each (Buying 8 bottles)
Sale Price 2/$8 ($4.00 each, $32.00 total)
-$16.00 ($4.00 x 4) BOGO Free coupons
*Receive $10 EB for spending $30 on P&G Products
= .75 per bottle!

But here is the deal I acually ended up getting
Regular Price $5.00 each (Buying 8 bottles)
Sale Price 2/$8 ($4.00 each, $32.00 total)
-$27.96 ($6.99 x 4) BOGO Free coupons
*Receive $10 EB for spending $30 on P&G Products
= -5.96

So made $5.96 profit on this deal! The cashier was supposed to ring up my BOGO Free coupons for $4.00 each because that was the price they were on sale for, but she just scanned them instead of entering them, so it took off the "free up to $6.99" price!

I also got Dawn Dish soap for a great price:

Dawn Dish Soap 9oz
Regular Price $1.99
-$1.03 Sale Price
-.75 Coupon
Final Price .21!!

Rummage sale last weekend went well. DH and I made $375, rummage sale as a whole made about $2000. The items we bought to resell did really well.

Several small money saving items for the day

August 10th, 2012 at 02:33 am

1) Went and got my FREE routine eye exam. Will go back soon to pick out eyewear (I have $150 towards lenses and $200 towards frames with my insurance).

2) Went to CVS and scanned my and DH's cards at the coupon machine. Got some good coupons on both (we seem to get some the same and a few different everytime) and DH's card even printed out a coupon for a FREE Unreal bar. So I got that right away.

3) Went to Staples as they had rung up 3 of an item I bought 2 of on Tuesday and I didn't see it on the receipt till I got home. I was prepared for a battle, but I went in and nicely explained what had happened and showed my receipt and the manager credited me back the $6.99 I was overcharged, no questions asked! Go Staples! Thank you for the great customer service!

4) Called and paid the big hospital bill ($2700!) for DH's knee injury, thus avoiding any late fees or interest.

5) When I got home I had a FREE sample of Woolite Dark in the mailbox along with a $1.00 off coupon for Woolite. I signed up for this FREE sample at http://samples.target.com. If you don't already use that site, it is great for freebies!

Oh and of course I worked 8 hrs too....lol. Happy with what I got done today. Now to relax in the hot tub with my book. Smile
