Walgreen's Babbling Part Two GRRRR!
Thursday, November 15, 2007

I've been to four Walgreen's on different days and different times trying to get some of their coupon items.  All of the stock people never know whether they have any in the back, they won't even bother to look.  This has happened four times to me this week!

On the other hand I did grab two of the Ragu Spaghetti Sauces at 2 for $3.00 with a $.50 off coupon and I did stack two coupons and the ad for French's French Fried Onions and got them for $.49.   

This time I went to Walgreen's in a Foo-Foo area where people don't buy anything with coupons especially at a Walgreens, except I still can't find that $.39 chicken stock.  Yes I make it sometimes, but I never seem to use it or it leaks so I like stocking up when it is a good deal. 

I did the survey for Walgreens but they didn't allow a place where I could complain about their not having sales items, but they must be aware of it because it was one of the first questions on the survey.  Maybe I'll win the $3,000 gift card - lol.  I enter all kinds of contests and have yet to win one yet, sometimes I think I should send away for the list of winners just to make sure.  LOL!

Walgreen's
Thursday, November 15, 2007

It seems everytime I go to Walgreen's no matter what time of the sale or day of the week they never have the items!  I've been to three Walgreen's since Sunday looking for some of the $.39 chicken stock.  GRRRRR!

On the other hand, I did get two Colgate toothpastes (with attached new toothbrushes) and two taper candles for Thanksgiving for the grand total of $1.97 after my couponing coup!

Check out my savings receipt of $6.64 - lol.  (Wow that would be geeky frugality at its highest)

My Great Couponing Coup!
Monday, October 29, 2007

Oh my little frugal heart is beating so fast today. 

I got two coupons from juicyjuice.com and got two 46 fluid oz juices.  I got the new kind with fruit and vegtable mix (grape flavored $3.19) and another grape ($3.09). 

While I was getting my free coupons I walked by the 50% off rack and there was already cooked frozen shredded meat for $2.49! 

I also got a free magazine for the guys at work today from Coke points.  I walked by a grocery store bin and someone had 8 coke boxes with the coke points on them still.  That was a free $8.00 subscription.

I also got a coupon from Kmart to get a free back of candy valued at $2.79 or less. 

So all together I paid $2.74 and got $19.82 worth of free merchandise!

CVS Extra Value Bucks
Monday, April 30, 2007

This weekend I almost feel a little guilty for using so many Extra Value Buck coupons, but I did go to a different CVS every time, luckily, they are practically on every corner. 

I got Lady Speed Stick deodorent which was on sale for $1.99, but I had three $.75 off coupons and three extra value bucks. 

I got three Dawn dishwashing liquid, on sale for $.99, with a $.20 off coupon for each and an Extra Value Buck for each. 

I had buy one free glade coupon (on sale at CVS for $.99) and another Extra Value Buck and had buy two get one free coupon for V05 shampoo and conditioner that was on sale for $.77 and had the extra value buck coupons for that also. 

It was worth the gas to drive around and save so much!  I also went to other stores and got there loss leader items too.  I have enough soap and toothpaste to last until Christmas - lol - for about $.16 per bar of soap and $.33 for Colgate toothpastes.

Free Classes
Thursday, January 25, 2007

I started taking a free MSU Extension class on how to manage your money.  It is pretty interesting.  I think I am much better off than I thought. 

Although I am kind of worried I have adult ADD.  For some reason I am thinking about fifteen other things when I am supposed to be listening.  I swear I thought the teacher was talking like a Charlie Brown teacher during the math parts,  I heard whaa whaa wha, waa, waa, waa.  Also, I think the guy next to me kept letting out silent but deadly farts.  I kept smelling sewer gas and he kept smiling at me.

Couponing Coup
Wednesday, January 24, 2007

Yesteday I had a great couponing day.  I got two bottles of Dawn Dishwashing Detergent for $.34.  They are usually priced $1.78, but were on sale for $.88.  I had a coupon for $1.00 off when you buy two, and I also had a coupon for $.50 off my next visit to CVS.  Well, all together that was $.34.

I love stocking up that way.  I'm saving toiletries coupons and hording all other kinds of coupons and when I watch the ads, I'll put my coupons with the ads and rack up the savings!!!!
