The All You magazine

This month's issue of the magazine "All You" is amazing!!! Please go right away to Walmart and pick up at least one copy. I have 4 copies so far, the coupons are that good!!

Walmart is the only store that sells this magazine, up by the registers, this month's issue is lavender and there are 5 coupons in it for freebies:
Crystal Light FREE
Kraft salad dressing FREE
Oscar Mayer hot dogs FREE
Wheat Thins FREE
Kraft Cheese FREE
the stipulation for each coupon is you must buy 3 Kraft items to get the product free, well, I've been buying 3 kool aid packets and you know those are only .10 - .20 each and then getting my free product. You cannot beat this deal! The koolaid packets are not single serve, they make 2 quarts, so therefore, they work on this deal. There are a ton of other good coupons in this issue, Peter Pan peanut butter, $1 off, these are on sale at several stores right now for $1.66, after cpn, that .66 for peanut butter, that is an awesome price these days for PB. You will definitely make your money back from the $2 it costs to buy the magazine, definitely!

Happy shopping!!!

Great coupons to print

Here are a few great coupons to print out:

Save $1.50 off of Yoplait yogurt for kids or drink

And a great coupon for the Ziplock Brand Big Bags, this coupon is to Buy 1 Get 1 FREE! I love these big bags!

http://www.ziploc.com/coupon/2008-07-2/

Two things to remember: 1. A lot of sites set a limit as to how many coupons they will let be printed, so you should always print coupons right away because say 1,000 coupons have been printed, they might close the coupon offer and you won't get in on time. Ya know what I mean?
2. Be sure to hit your back button after you print the coupon the first time, hit is 3 or 4 times so the coupon prints a second time. OR just print the coupon, close the window, come back and click on the link again and print a second time. Almost any coupon on the internet will let you print it twice.

I am working on a post with all sites available to print coupons, there are just so many I have to get through my Favorites in IExplorer and get them in a post.

Happy Shopping!

Nice shopping trip yesterday

I had to go to Walmart, yuck, as much as I hate going to that store, I have not been there in at least 3 weeks and wanted to try some coupons out. I took my 2 $2 South Beach pizza coupons, and my 2 $2 South B. drink mix cpns, 2 of the pizzas had a tag of $2 and two had a tag of $2.72, so I grab the $2 ones, had to go to cust. service to get the $1.44 back as they did ring up $2.72, but since the shelf tag said $2, etc. etc. But got the two boxes of drink mixes for FREE, w/out the hassle. I was told to check Rite Aid for John Frieda coupons, the coupon is for $3 off of ANY 2 products or $1 off of 1, you decide when you redeem the cpn, which you want to use, so I found them, took some, and headed to Walmart. I was told the trial size mousse was only .97, so 2 of those would be $1.94, and use the $3 on 2 cpn to get $1.06 overage on your other groceries. They had 8 left, so I took 8 of them, 4 coupons, my other stuff, and headed to the register where the cashier had no problem taking the coupon and taking the whole $3 off, so I ended up with over $4 of overage on my other stuff. Excellent! Then we tried Subway on our way out to see if they would accept our email that said we won a free bag of chips, and they accepted the cpn, so two free bags of chips on our way out (lots of people said their subway refused to take them even though it was a legitimate win, so I wasn't getting my hopes up for chips - I also won two FREE movie tickets by playing the online game) :)

Then to CVS where to my surprise our ad was nothing at all like the ad I looked at online last week. I knew this was possible and last time it happened the ads were not "that" different, but this time, it was horrible. So I was going to roll over an expired $6.99 ecb into the revlon deal but that deal was not in our area, I really hope it will be next week then, sometimes I have seen that happen. So I decided to go ahead and use the ecb anyway because I needed garbage bags and while they are on sale at Walgreens, which I will get later this week (the deal is 2 boxes of garbage bags for $4.99 and you get a $4.99 easy saver rebate back at the end of the month) not bad, free garbage bags. So I got 2 boxes of garbage bags, a hershey bar, a cvs facewipes, two pepsi 20 oz., and ziploc bags. My total came to $7.57 and I used my $6.99 extra care buck and paid the .58 cent difference in cash, got the $1 ecb back for the facewipes and was supposed to get one for buying 2 20 oz. pepsi's, but will call the cvs ppl and ask about it.

I cannot wait to get to Walgreens later this week, now there is a cpn to use on Thur. $5 off of $20 which will work perfectly! The Olay body wash ends up being 6 for $1.00!!!! very exciting! And when you buy 4 axe products you get 2 free movie tickets, the trial size products work, so for $6.20 I will get 4 axe products and 2 free movie tickets! It is a date! And then the Ritz crackers are very cheap, oh and while I'm thinking of it: This months issue, August of the All You magazine only sold at Walmart - ick - is HUGE for great coupons, take a look through first, or just buy one already and look through it then see how much money your going to save and go buy a few more. It is definitely a month to buy 5 or 6 copies, for me anyway.

Happy cheap shopping to ya!

My Walgreens diaper deal

Yesterday I spent the gas money and drove the 45 minutes to Walgreen's to get in on the great diaper deal that was going on. I was not able to use all of the coupons that should have worked, if so, this would have saved me $15.00, but none the less, I did good :)

First order:
4 pkgs Walgreens diapers, size 6 ($5.99 ea.)
1 Scrubbing Bubbles action kit ($5.49)

Total: $29.45
minus: $18.00 in cpns for the diapers
minus: $2.75 cpn for the Scrubbing bubbles
Total paid: $9.03 and out printed a $5 cpn off of my next order
I will send in the Walgreens rebate to get $1.50 back on the Scrubbing bubbles, and I'll also send in my receipt for a scrubbing bubbles "Try me free" rebate, which will give me the whole $5.49 back! Double rebates on one product and I had a cpn to take $2.75 off of it in the first place, so that is a profit of $4.25 on that one product, nice!

Second order:
3 pkgs Walgreens training pants ($5.99 ea)
1 pilot pens 2 pk ($1)
4 small composition notebooks ($.20)
1 crayola markers 12 pk ($2)

Total: $21.17
minus: $13.50 in walgreens diaper cpns
Total paid: $7.67 - used a Walgreens gift card to pay for this and .19cents in cash
Out printed a $5 register reward coupon off of my next order!
Also Will get $1 back from Walgreens for the pens and $2 back from walgreens for the markers

Third order:
2 Walgreens diapers - the mega pkg, not Jumbo, (sale priced at $7.69 ea)
2 pretzel/cheese cracker ($2)
5 posterboard (.50)

Total: $17.88
minus: $9.00 in diaper cpns
Total paid: $8.88

GRAND TOTALS:
$9.03 plus
$0.19 plus
$8.88
Total oop(out of pocket) $18.10
I have $10 in RR to spend at the store
I will get back $8.99 from rebates
Which is approximately a PROFIT of $1 for all of the following:

9 pkgs diapers/training pants
5 posterboard
2 crackers/cheese
4 notebooks
1 2pk pens
1 markers 12 pk
1 scrubbing bubbles action scrubber

I did probably use about $15 in gas, though, which I have to add in there.

cvs candy deal

The CVS candy deal this week is buy $10 in any candy on the two pages in the ad, you get a $5 ECB back. If you can get a hold of the lifesavers B1G1 free coupons then you will get FREE candy and $5 in ECBucks.

Buy 10 bags, 5 of them will be free at the register, use 5 B1G1 free coupons to get the other 5 FREE, you total will be zero, or tax only, and you will get a $5 extra care buck coupon printed at the end of your receipt to use on your next CVS order. I think the limit is 5 per card/household so if you have enough coupons, you can do this deal 5 times to end up with $25 in extra care bucks to use at the store and 50 free bags of lifesavers. I like free stuff, but FREE money is nice too!

printable coupons

Here are some links to some printable coupons that can be used at your Kroger, if you have one, for the mega 10 item deal, buy 10 participating items and get $5 taken off at the register. You can do 30 participating items in one transaction and get $15 taken off of that order at a time. I know the Franks hot sauce will be free and the cattlemen's bbq sauce will be .25 cents a bottle when you use the coupons below and buy in multiples of 10's.

http://www.frenchs.com/ you can print .50 French's mustard coupons, .50 Franks red hot sauce, .75 cattlemens bbq sauce, .50 French's onions, and .50 French's worcestershire sauce, you should be able to print each cpn twice
