Sorry for the lack of posting lately!

If anyone follows me close enough to notice, I haven't been doing much posting lately.  I'm still here, it's just that I don't have much to tell you about.  I'm not really a huge fan of the blogs that put out 30-40 posts a day with every little deal to be had.  I'm selfish and just like to tell you about the stuff that I myself would do.  Maybe this isn't the right attitude to have, but hey, this isn't my job, it's just a hobby, so that's the way I think it will stay.  I only like to tell you about free samples available to everyone (and I always sign up for them first to make sure the deal isn't dead) and I only like to tell you about deals at stores that are super great.  And it seems like everyone else is still going strong with a million deals but I seriously just haven't been excited about anything lately.  Any thoughts on this?  Am I being to harsh?

My "I'm bored, let's go to Target and Walmart with the 8/1 P&G when I SHOULD be cleaning" trip 8/31

So I'm not going to show a picture since I think it would be cruel considering every single coupon I used expired today, except one (the gain dish liquid).  Instead I will just tell you a couple of the awesome things I found.

First, Target:

You know those Lysol no touch hand soap things that were $2 at CVS a couple of weeks ago?  Well I've been using mine since the day I bought it (in my bathroom) and I absolutely love it.  The dispenser never gets dirty or water marked because I never touch it!  And the amount it dispenses, along with the scent, are perfect.  So I saw them at Target today for $6.04!!!!  The sign said price cut, and for once in Target's history with me, I believe them.  This is a big price cut no matter where you shop.  I remembered that when I bought the one at CVS I cut all 5 of the coupons I had rather than just 1 because I thought I could find them cheap at Walgreens too.  So turns out I just happened to have 5 of the $3/1 coupons from the 7/11 SS that expire today!  Well I didn't want to buy that many even though $3.04 is a phenomenal price, so I bought 2.  I figured that if Lysol doesn't put out coupons for the refills for a while I'm set using the refills in these 2 packages.  Yay!!  (I put my other 3 coupons on the products themselves just in case a shopper noticed them tonight and could take advantage of them).
That was really the only exciting thing at Target.  I got some travel size Tide and a clearanced kid toothpaste for the other frugal blonde's kiddo.  My total for everything was about $7.

On to Walmart:

The only thing I knew for sure I would pick up at Walmart was the Gain dish liquid.  There is a $1/1 in the 8/29 P&G and Walmart is selling the small bottles for $0.97 and the larger bottles for $1.97.  My store had the original scent and the lavender scent.  Lavender somehow reminds me of my allergies so I bought 4 of the original scent.  And the computer accepted the coupons at face value so I got $0.12 overage.
My exciting find at Walmart: In the 8/1 P&G there was a $3/1 Febreze Noticeables Warmer OR Starter Kit. The warmer was priced at $2.54.  The incredible thing?  This is not a sale or anything special.  It was the regular tag.  I'm telling you, I read the packaging and the coupon at least 10 times to verify that I wasn't crazy and it was the right item.  Guess what?  I got the face value of these coupons too!  I bought 4, so that's a total of $1.84 overage.  Now, these didn't come with any actual oil, but I couldn't pass up making money on them. Some day soon I will buy the refills with some grand coupon we get.  So I knew if I got overage I'd have $1.96, so I just picked up one of those huge packs of gum in the checkout line and my total was $0.66!!!

Yay for easy shopping trips!

Walgreens Trip 8/29

As expected, things did not go fully as expected yesterday :).  You guys know I had everything planned out per my post here, but I wasn't really feeling shopping yesterday.  It started with the newspapers.  I went to my closest gas station to pick up the local cheap paper like I always do.  They only had 1 left!  And it was the same time that I usually go on Sundays so I was a bit confused.  I really have no clue where else to get that paper short of going to the distribution center so I broke down and bought two "big city" papers as well.  So I only got 3 papers (I usually buy 5 - $5 total).  Things got a little bit better when one of the big city papers accidentally had 2 P&G inserts.  Anyway, I was feeling slightly down (stupid I know).  I got all the coupons ready, which didn't take long at all, and left.  I got to my favorite Walgreen's and the girl working the cosmetics counter is the best.  She puts most of the RR stuff up front so you don't have to go searching all around.  Well she surprised me with the Carmex cream and lotion!  It's a monthly RR deal - they cost $4.99 and you get a $4.00 RR, so only $0.99!  Well of course I had to have one of each at that price.  There are no coupons that I know of, but still a great deal.  Now, since I spent quite a while chatting with her about the deals this week and how she didn't get her coupons in time because she ordered from a new coupon clipping service, I didn't stop and think through how this would change my transactions.  I was lucid enough to realize I didn't need fillers (the folders) anymore, but somehow I didn't think about the actual money I would be spending.  So let's just say that I spent more out of pocket than I EVER have before at Walgreens.  But it works out ok in the end, especially given that I usually spend under $1 each week.  Plus it proves that not everyone has a fantastic week.  So here's what went down:

Transaction #1:

(2) $3.50 - Softsoap Body Wash

- $1/1 from September All You magazine (I only had one and I couldn't print the printable $0.75/1)

= $6.00, received a $5 RR, so $0.50 each

$1.99 - W Perfection Tampons

= $1.99, received a $2 RR, so FREE

$2.00 - Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm

= $2.00, received a $2 RR, so FREE

$4.00 - Breathe Right Strips

- $1.50/1 from 4/11 RP

= $2.50, received a $4 RR, so $1.50 money maker!!!

$4.99 - Carmex Lotion

= $4.99, received a $4 RR, so only $0.99

Total before coupons: $19.98

Used (2) $4 RR's and (2) $2 RR's.

Total after coupons and RR's: $5.48 (this is really just paying for the Carmex lotion that I COULD have paid for with the breathe right RR if my brain would have been on!)

_________________________________________________________________

Transaction #2:

$2.00 - Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm

= $2.00, received a $2 RR, so FREE

$4.00 - Breathe Right Strips

- $1.50/1 from 4/11 RP

= $2.50, received a $4 RR, so $1.50 money maker!!!

$4.99 - Carmex Cream

= $4.99, received a $4 RR, so only $0.99

Total before coupons: $10.99

Used a $5 RR and the $2 RR from the tampons in transaction #1.

Total after coupons and RR's: $2.49 (again, I could have paid for the Carmex cream with the breathe right RR if my brain would have been on!)

___________________________________________________________

Totals for the day:

Total before coupons: $30.97

Paid with $19 in RR's and $7.97 cash = $26.97.

Received $27 in RR's.  So I pretty much broke even.  Thus, everything works out OK in the end.  And it's a good lesson for me.  Next week I'll make sure my brain is on when I shop!!

UPDATE: I forgot to mention the coupons I got from the lovely catalina machine!  I don't get them that often even though I always try to check out in cosmetics with my debit card (that's the magic combination).  I got:

$1/2 W Perfection Tampons 18-54 count (NOT the ones producing the RR this week) expires 9/26/10

$2/1 Schick Xtreme3 expires 11/21/10

$3/1 Prevacid 24HR product expires 11/21/10

2 Scenarios for Walgreens 8/29

Walgreens has a lot of mysterious RR deals this week - that is, we don't know the prices to go with a lot of the register reward deals (P&G - I'm talking to you).  So I came up with a couple of scenarios for the deals we do know about to make sure I roll my RR's before they expire.  There is only one money maker this week so we need to take big advantage of that!  At first I was all excited about the $10 RR on the Irwin Naturals vitamin product but on second thought I will NEVER use this.  Thank goodness I have a little bit of coupon common sense today.  I'm skipping that deal all together.  I have $15 in RR's to start the week with:

(3) $1 RR's expiring 9/3
(2) $2 RR's expiring 8/29
(2) $4 RR's expiring 9/5 and 9/6

My plans (assuming things are in stock - we all know things NEVER go as planned):

Transaction #1 (I should note that this one transaction takes care of all the RR deals that I'm super interested in - I'm sick of toothpaste):

(2) $3.50 - Softsoap Body Wash
- (2) $1/1 from September All You
$4.00 - Breathe Right Strips 10 pack
- $1.50/1 from 4/11 RP
$2.00 - Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm
$1.99 - W Perfection Tampons
(3) $0.20 - 2 pocket folder w/ prongs (with in-ad coupon - make sure to show!)

Subtotal: $12.09
Use (2) $4 RR's and (2) $2 RR's ($12 total).  Pay approximately $0.09 oop (remember you can use whatever fillers you want, the folders are the cheapest I found and I needed 3 fillers AND wanted to get over $12).
Receive a $5 RR, a $4 RR, a $2 RR and a $1.99 RR.  That's a total of $12.99 in RR's.

So I will have used $12 in RR's and $0.09 cash, and received $12.99 in RR's, making this a $0.90 money maker!.  The best part to me is the small OOP.
This is a small money maker and gets rid of the expiring RR's.
______________________________________________________
Transaction #2 (to use up the (3) $1 RR's that will be expiring before the next week of deals):

$4.00 - Breathe Right Strips 10 pack
- $1.50 from 4/11 RP
(3) $0.20 - 2 pocket folder w/ prongs (with in-ad coupon - make sure to show!)

Subtotal: $3.10

Use (3) $1 RR's.  Pay approximately $0.10 oop (remember you can use whatever fillers you want, the folders are the cheapest I found and I needed 3 fillers ).  

Receive a $4 RR.

So I will have used $3 in RR's and $0.10 cash, and received $4 in RR's, making this a $0.90 money maker!.  The best part to me is the small OOP.

This is a small money maker and gets rid of the expiring RR's.

That's all the required transactions I plan to do.  Everything else will be once I know prices.  I will post any other transactions I do here.
