Scrubbing Bubbles

I'm not sure what it is lately but BzzAgent is awesome. I've received so many things to Bzz about, I'm not sure where to start but for now, I'll start with the latest thing to drop in my mailbox. I've seen coupons and advertisement for the new Scrubbing Bubbles One Step toilet cleaner for a few weeks and when the opportunity to join this campaign arrived in my in-box, I jumped at the chance.

I'm going to get this working in my bathroom this weekend, my review will be coming...And I have coupons to get refills, as well as the cleaner if anyone wants them, just post a comment!

I was not paid to write this, I was provided this packet of information, coupons and sample as part of being a BzzAgent.

Wags & Rite Aid

I got some great deals this weekend and have lots of $$ sitting in my pocket for my next trip! The best part, I didn't go more than three miles past my house!

Walgreens:
Carmex lotion on sale 2/$10 with a $5 RR, used $1.50 off manufacturer coupon on each
Campbells soups on sale with in-ad coupon $.79, limit 3, used $.40 off 3 manufacturer coupon, $.66 each
Ben & Jerry's Ice cream on sale $2.99, used $2 off 2 Walgreens coupon  which took $1 off each pint, stacked with $1 off manufacturer Ben & Jerry's coupon, $.99 each

Rite Aid:
Trident gum on sale $3/3, used $1 off 3, Rite Aid Video Values coupon $.50 off 1, $.50 each, plus received $1 +UPs
Systane drops, $3 off with in-ad coupon, used $2 off any Systane manufacturer coupon $14.99 for 2 bottles
Tom's of Maine 2 pack soap, $3.99 on sale, used $1 off manufacturer coupon, $2.99 for 2 soaps and received $2 back in +UPs
Popcorn Indiana popcorn on sale 2/$5, used $1 off manufacturer coupon, total cost $1.50
I also used $1 off any purchase Video Values coupon and $8 in +UPs

In total I spent $23.96 out of pocket and between the two stores I saved $36.18 and have $8 to spend at Walgreens and Rite Aid on my next trip. If you factor in the UPs and RR, I really only spent $15.96.

Yummy Yummy Yummy Candy!

In my mail yesterday I got this awesome package from BzzAgent. Three bags of Werther's caramels, some great recipes and coupons to buy more. :-)

This will come in sooo handy for apple picking and making caramel apples but I know all my co-workers will love it when I bring them some in on Monday!!

Stay tuned for a second post this week on a great new product I received from BzzAgent, but for now you can just drool over my bags of candy.

What $.50 Can Buy

220 Ziploc sandwich bags and 4 bags of Skittles...One trip to Walgreens on my way home, total out of pocket $.50.

One of  my favorite bloggers alerted me to the Skittles deal so I snagged 4 bags free today (which I am told I have to hide away). I got the Ziploc bags on sale 2/$5 with in-ad Walgreens coupon, I paired that with $1 off 2 Ziploc bags coupon. After all those coupons, I used my RR from my purchases last week these were expiring on 9/16 so I needed to use them. I had a bag of Chex Mix in my basket which was on sale for $.99 but I waited to see if I needed to add it in. Once the cashier hit total and it was $.50 I didn't need to worry about my overage. I gave the Chex Mix back and walked out the store with change in my pocket.

Some of my Favorite Deals

I felt like this week I hit the jackpot with coupons. I know, silly right? I bought a bunch of coupons on eBay and was holding them until a sale. I hit it this week.

This week I didn't go to my normal stores, just Roche Bros, Shaw's and CVS. The pictures show just a few of my deals.

At Roche Bros Poland Spring seltzer was on sale 2/$1, I bought coupons for $1/2 one liter bottles. Guess how many I bought? Just know I used every single coupon I had and don't need to buy seltzer for a long time. The good thing, we were on our last bottle of seltzer at home. I also found Newman's Own cereal on clearance for $1.50 a box and used a $1/2 coupon. Score!

At Shaw's I used every single Wheat Thins coupon I had and picked up boxes of crackers for $1 a box. (I hate to say it, but two boxes are already gone!!) The Better Oats Oatmeal was on sale $10/10. I used a $.55 off coupon the doubles making all of these FREE! Lastly, I found Newman's Marinana sauce 50% off. For each jar I used a $.50 off one Newman's coupon making these $.50 a jar. Even though I've been making my own base sauce from our farm CSA I had to stock up and get a few jars.

Now, I'm looking at my sale papers and thinking, I don't really need anything..hmm...

Thank you CVS

Test post from my phone...Just to show what I picked up free this week!


ETA: This does work..the picture shows up huge so I went in to change it. Thank you for letting me test this...

Some of my Favorite Deals

I know everyone is missing my Friday Freebie post but honestly I was starting to feel like that was all I was posting so I thought I'd post some of my favorite deals of this past week.

One of my totally unexpected deals was from Target. Oral-B replacement brush heads (anyone that owns an electric toothbrush knows how expensive these are) were on sale $19.99 for a pack of three. With each purchase you received a $5 gift card. I bought 2 and used a $10 off when you buy 2 coupon and got another $10 back in gift cards, making my replacements $20. You can't beat that price! 

Second is a picture of a Kashi deal and a few other items I picked up. Thanks to eBay I bought $1 off 1 Kashi coupons and knew that if I waited for a sale, I'd get someone's favorite cereal at a good price. A local grocery store Roche Bros had a fantastic deal. Kashi was on sale 4/$12 but if you bought four the price dropped down to $10 and I used $1 off coupon on each box. Each box ended up costing me $1.50, regular price $4.49. The Chore Boy sponges I got free (can't beat that) because Roche Bros also doubled coupons under $.99 and I had a $.55 off any Chore Boy product. Ken's Marinade also was on sale 2/$3 and I used a $1 off any Ken's Marinade coupon = $.50.

A decent week indeed.

Now...just wait until I tell you about next week!  So far, all I'll tell you is that I had a cart FULL of stuff and paid under $5!

All this under $1

I'm normally not a Walgreens shopper as I'm not really a fan of my local store but there are times when I do go. Like today. Here's how I did it.

Cream cheese with coupon in Walgreen's circular $.99 each

Carmex lip balm 2/$3 used $.50 off coupon on each, total $2, I got a $1.50 Register Reward back (I think if I rang the second one up separately I would have gotten a second $1.50 RR but I had no patience today)

Suave body wash $2, total $6. I used quite a few coupons on this I had a buy 2, get one free coupon, one free coupon and a $.50 off coupon. The free coupons rang up full price for the items so one rang up as $3 off, the other $2.85 and I got another $2 Register Reward

So $4.19 out of pocket - $.3.50 RR= $.69
