A good day for mail

Received a Sobe Free coupon (exp. 12/31 – 2 weeks, they’re still cutting it close, huh?) and my first Neuragen MIR.  I got the whole purchase amount, $19.99, so I’m up $10 on this deal from using the $10 coupon.

Free for Me! part 2

Here’s a very nice BOGO coupon for Kellogg’s Special K cereals.  While it doesn’t work (as far as I can see from the ad) for this week’s cereal sale, this should work out nicely between now and the exp date (one month from print).  You do have to register, as this is a Kellogg’s site (prints through Bricks, so print, back, print) …  Thanks to Totally Target.

Just saw on CW that Tribe hummus is on sale for 10/$10 and here is another holiday gift to you…a $1/1 pdf  Tribe coupon can we say the gift that keeps on giving?

CVS and Wags

Flying trips and posts here, trying to get as much done as possible before any potential storms hit…

CVS first for the magic coupon machine, where I hit the jackpot three times!  Since they were out of the sadlyexpired Planters, they substituted the three cans of almonds you see here ( 2012 dates – I checked).

Then off to Wendy’s for a double order of the free fries for the PITA.  If I could only figure out a way to transfer my fat…..but I digress.  Next stop Wags for the Reach dental floss, ’cause I’m a fool for floss.  Got the eight shown and a $5 Wags store cat for going over $25 (yes, I know they changed the program overnight, but mgr gave me one anyway.  Must be my pleasing personality – not).

Here’s a picture of the insert:  Note that it’s mixed in with all the inserts but is a single page, glossy sheet with the $10 plastic coupon attached.  It will be a madhouse at the B&M stores, as those people who normally don’t coupon see this card and hit the stores early this week, causing long lines and many out-of-stock items.  Wait until the end of this week or the beginning of next (exp. 24th) and you’ll be a whole lot happier.

CW is posting that tomorrow’s Trib (12/12) will have a $10 coupon off purchases at any retail location with no minimum.  Not an insert, but a single sheet ad.  There is also a code for free shipping online.  english toffee, i luvs you….

If you get your paper today, share the deets:  dates, restrictions, online shipping code and does retail locations mean FM B&M stores or Jewel locations …

Jewel

Still no sign of my coupons mailed early Wednesday (substitute mailman with 3 pieces of mail – grrrrr, dammit!  gimme my coupons!)

Basically, I just ran the deal with 7 HC mixers, one Eagle milk and two Marie Callender’s Steamers.  Since I will return with $7 in HC coupons, I needed something to use up the overage, so decided to pick up some meat tortellini for my son.  No coupons, no sales.  I tell you, my hands were shaking.   Total OOP was $9.27.  Subtract the $7 in HC coupons and we’re paying $2.27.  and i’m ok with that…

Wags a way way to go go – Important update!

Apparently the gravy train has broken down, peeps.  As of early am, the MM on the tissue paper no longer works, so buy it ’cause you need/want it and don’t expect a $5 RR.

A whirlwind tour of the local Wags, people.  I’m combining the whole thing into one picture for viewing ease (especially since 99.9% were the same items).

You are looking at 96 packages of Hallmark tissue paper, broken down deal-wise as follows:  90 of the packages were purchased in sets of 6, to generate the $5 RR.  Actual OOP of about $2.17 (depending on tax), so a $2.80+ MM.  Last transaction was for the 6 tissue papers, 1 Herbashine and 3 of the Reach floss to bring me over the $25 threshold for a $5 Jingle Bucks RR.  Used $6 in Reach mfr coupons (10/10 rp), $6 in Wags in-ad coupon and a  free Herbashine coupon I received in the mail.  That deal total was $4.95, but I got a $5 Wags store cat and a $5 RR, so still ahead of the game.

Total OOP was approximately $37.50 (exact figures would require me to calculate all the various tax rates –  I am so not doing this) — Got back $80 in RRs and a $5 Wags cat.  Oh, and a useless box of tissue paper…. well, worst case scenario, it’s still softer than Marcal!

Make certain (if you’re going to run this MM) that you only choose the Hallmark white tissue paper; the colored doesn’t trigger the RR;  some stores are substituting Marvel brand for the Hallmark one.  Curiously, the store coupon does work on this deal, but you will not get the RR, so why bother?  Just learned that the Hallmark stickers are also triggering this RR, so go nutz!

There’s a couple of ways to swing this one, peeps:  If you’re a member of PetSmart’s PetPerks program (otherwise register), click here.  When  you go to print, you can print as many as you’d like, but first save it as a pdf!  Yes, they are giving us this wonderful option!  We lubbs our PetSmart!   If you want to get a BOGO coupon (I don’t know why you would, unless you aren’t near any PetSmarts, click here.  Note:  These are both mfr coupons, but again, the PetSmart one does not say you cannot print and use more than one.

Jewel tripping (and a side trip to Wags)

Literally ran in and out of Wags (decided at last minute to pick up PITA at school and left with 5 minutes to spare) – got 12 more Snickers for .29 tax.  damned high tax!

Even though my 100 HC coupons haven’t yet arrived (mailed out Wed am), decided to pick up 7 for stockpile (remember – one less than limit), 3 Eagle milk (with .55/1 qs – to make up 10 items), two Ziplocs (with BOGO q) ’cause we’re out and these zoo plates for which we have no earthly use, but they’re purty.  Plus a small yogurt to use as starter for my homemade stuff.  Total OOP was $8.60 which was way high for me!  No clearance roasts (remember the use the BOGO store coupons this week).

Free Diapers today

Here’s an article from the Beacon/Sun Times:

Payton Foundation will hand out free diapers on Thursday

AURORA — The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation will hand out free diapers and personal feminine products from 3 to 6 p.m. Thursday at Dominick’s at 3025 E. New York St. in Aurora.

“Diaper Day” is open to the public, and all items distributed are free.

The items — distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis — were donated to the foundation by Kimberley-Clark, the maker of Huggies, Kleenex and other brands. Transportation for the distribution of the items was donated by Custom Company Inc.

The Walter and Connie Payton Foundation assists neglected, abused and underprivileged children. Call 847-605-0034 or visit: www.payton34.com.

Call me a cynic, but if the items were donated by Kimberley-Clark and the transportation was donated by Custom Company, why does the Payton Foundation get the credit?
