Last post of the evening ...... promise!
I just ordered my coupons for the next couple of weeks. I compared the price of coupons for the sites I normally order from and www.couponsthingsbydede.com had the best price for almost all of them. They were out of stock on the Garnier hair product coupons so I ordered those from www.thecouponclippers.com.
If you are ever asked who referred you to any sites, PLEASE use my name and email address! klingerfamily@verizon.net. Thanks!!

Target - Cheap Nutri-Grain bars
Some are reporting finding the strawberry yogurt Nutri-Grain bars price cut to $1.27 a box. There is a $1/2 coupon available in the 1/11 SS. Target is also running a promo where you get a $5 gift card when you buy 5 participating Kellogg's products (promo ends 3/16).
If you can find the strawberry yogurt Nutri-grain bars it would look like this:
$1.27 X 5 = $6.35 - $2 MQ (2 of the $1/2 coupons) = $4.35 OOP get a $5 Target gift card.
You can not use the Target gift card on that purchase but you can use it to purchase the next set of deals and "roll" it.

Rite Aid - Free Pringles Select
There are small bags of Pringles Select (1.4oz) at Rite-Aid right now. They cost .99 minus the $1/1 coupons that can be found in 2/8 P&G inserts. Free snacks!!
CVS Upcoming 3/8 - 3/14
Posting this early so that you can plan. If you want to do these deals, make sure you go through and order any coupons that you will need that were from previous inserts. I recommend www.thecouponclippers.com. The coupons that are needed are listed in red and bold - if I have not specified a quantity then the quantity is one.
Fructis hair care (Limit 1***)
Sale: 3/$10
MQ: $1 on any Garnier Fructis Shampoo, Conditioner or Treatment (2/8 RP, need 3)
ECB's: $5
Math: 3/$10 - (3) $1 MQs - $5 ECB = 3/$2 or $0.67 each
Garnier Nutritioniste Cleanser or Moisturizer (Limit 1***)
Sale: $5.00
MQ: $1 (2/8 RP, need 2)
ECB's earned $5 wyb $10 in Garnier products listed in ad
Math: $10/2 - (2) $1 MQ's - $5 ECB's = $3 for 2 or $1.50 each
***Note: the limit is 1 for the Garnier. This means you can do EITHER the hair care or the cleanser/moisturizer deal, not both.
Crest Pro Health Toothpaste 4.2 oz (Limit to be determined)
Sale: $2.99
MQ: $1 (2/8 PG) limit is not determined, I would plan on 2-3

(March monthly deal that works well combined with sale this week)
Sale: $2.88
MQ: $3/2 (2/8 PG) because the limit is 5 but the coupon works when you buy 2, you can technically only do this combo twice to make it worthwhile. So need 2 coupons.

Secret Flawless Deodorant (Limit 1)

Do you SWAGGLE
Ok, shameless plug while I have your attention.
I learned about a website called Swagbucks about 4 weeks ago through an online group. Swagbucks is an online search group that works exactly the same as Google. You use their "search" function to search for anything on the web. The advantage is that you earn points for some of your searches. After you accumulate points you can "buy" gift cards or other goods from their store.
In the 4 weeks since I started using it, I have already earned enough points to buy $20 in Amazon e-gift cards. And the best thing is.... I have used it for all my general web searches. Really, nothing else.
If you have people sign up under your referral code, you gain points for each of their points. So there are times I don't even log into my Swag and I am gaining points from those under me.
It is so easy to sign up and takes no more effort than going to your Google search. So try it out. But of course, make sure you sign up under me!! :~)

My 1st Black Friday Shopping
It's quite funny to say that yesterday was my very first Black Friday. I have worked in retail for 12 years and normally Black Friday means working, not shopping. My experience working also means I have seen the good, the bad and the UGLY in the way people act for the deals, so I have not really felt the motivation to go out there and hit the BF jackpot. Well, this year I decided to give it a try and took Kerstin along so she could experience this "fun" American tradition.
Thankfully the Walmart near us is a 24 hour WM, so that was our first stop. Why? Because it meant we didn't have to stand out in 20 degree weather waiting for the store to open! DUH! We got there around 4am and quickly realized there were Power Wheel Jeeps still available for $88. Riley's "big" Christmas gift - done! Then we stalked out the shrink-wrapped pallets that were surrounded by other hopeful shoppers for the Doorbuster deals we were interested in. They would be available at 5am. And gone by 5:02am. Not kidding.
Kerstin stood by the new Samsung 10.2 megapixel digital camera (only $69!) and I stood by the HP 3-in-1 printer/copier/scanner (only $29). It was great being able to split up and of course we text'd back and forth :~)
At 5am on the dot we heard, "GO!" from a Walmart employee and it was GRAB WHAT YOU WANT time!! Literally, I think all hot ticket items were gone by 5:02am. There was no pushing or shoving. Everyone was very nice and respectful - I even made friends with 2 women standing near me and we chatted as we waited.
K & I picked up the HP for me, a camera, card/case pack and extra 2gb card for both of us, a set of Rubbermaid containers, checked out a few other possible deals and then headed to checkout. We were through checkout in less than 10 minutes. Easy-peasy!
So we were on our way to Target and got there about 10 minutes before they opened. The line was wrapped around the store - so we stayed nice and warm in the truck!! I got a Shark Stick Vac for $10 and a pair of non-sale gloves for $9.99. Yes, I do occassionally pay full price just for the heck of it. *gasp*
We left there and went to Kmart where we found $9.99 hairdryers and Kerstin bought a memory card for her phone. Not many other great items at the big K store.
Dropped the Jeep off at Gigi's so as not to spoil Xmas for the little one, dropped our other goods off at home (so as not to have the truck broken into!) and headed to Arundel Mills mall.
Children's Place had a great morning deal - 20% off all purchases before 11am- plus you could use any coupons you had (I have a rewards coupon for 15% plus will get a $10 coupon towards future purchases). I got all 3 boys new winter coats and 4 pairs of PJ's for $100.
Kerstin got new PJ bottoms & awesome cute slippers from Old Navy and I picked up some fleece pants and slippers for the boys.
So what do you do when you finish shopping at 10am and it feels like you have been up all day?? Go to Panera of course for some breakfast & coffee!!!!
Overall, it was a fun day. I don't consider my 1st BF shopping to be the biggest or the best but it was fun. I wasn't looking for tons of big deals because honestly, I know that prices will just keep getting lower and lower as we get closer to Christmas. But I got a few things we needed/wanted as well as a few gifts, so it was worthwhile.

Kmart Doubles
Wow, it's been along time since I have logged in, much less posted. I have been so busy chasing deals I haven't had much time to post. My latest chase - Kmart doubles. Now, I hate shopping at Kmart, but I'll shop anywhere that pays me to take their products! Really,who enjoys shopping at Kmart??
This week they have double manufacturer coupons up to and including $2. That means that a $2 coupon is doubled to $4 off a product. This is big because it means lots and lots of free products. They also have a couple of B1G1 free deals which when combined with coupons = hidden overage. Almay products are 40% off so you can get alot more when combined with the $2 coupons that are doubled to $4.
Most of the coupons I have been using are from the Kmart Beauty Book --- and the true "beauty" in that is that the books are FREE!! Doesn't get much easier than that.
I have made 4 trips so far and here is a breakdown of what I have gotten:
L'Oreal Eyeshadows or mascara (12) @ $6.49 each (overage)
Dove Creamy Body Wash (17) @ $4.79 each / (1) @ $4.29 each
Zest 3-bar soap (6) @ $2.19 each
Revlon nail implements @ various prices under $2 (13)
Vaseline Men's Lotion (7) @ $2.99 each
Almay Cosmetics @ various prices including Toweletts, Eye Makeup Remover, mascara & eyeshadow (20) (all free!)

Two more trips planned and will post grand totals after all is complete. Lovin' these Kmart doubles!!
This week they have double manufacturer coupons up to and including $2. That means that a $2 coupon is doubled to $4 off a product. This is big because it means lots and lots of free products. They also have a couple of B1G1 free deals which when combined with coupons = hidden overage. Almay products are 40% off so you can get alot more when combined with the $2 coupons that are doubled to $4.
Most of the coupons I have been using are from the Kmart Beauty Book --- and the true "beauty" in that is that the books are FREE!! Doesn't get much easier than that.

Feeding the family (gourmet) for next to nothing.....
Last week was a pretty awesome week at Wags. For every 9 Crest toothpastes that you buy (for free with coupons) or 6 Covergirl cosmetics (almost free), you get $20 in register rewards (RR's) for your next purchase.
Well I accumulated about $180 worth of RR's. Last night we stopped at Wags and I ran in to get some snacks and basic foods for lunches this week. Fruit cups, Cheez-its, pudding, the basics. Of course I used my RR's. But I also rolled some of them into $60 & $20 Omaha Steaks gift cards.
So today I went to Omaha after work and got one heck of a deal to feed the family for the week. I have to mention this is the 3rd time I have done this or something similar and it is such a great way to do our grocery shopping for the week!! LOL
Here is what I got:
~10 burgers
~6 franks
~4 chicken breasts
~2 filet mignons
~2 top sirloins
~2 shrimp fettucine (it was DELICIOUS for dinner tonight, served it with my free Food Lion fresh, not frozen, garlic bread!)
~4 stuffed baked potatoes
~garlic mashed potatoes
~creamed spinach
~vegetable medley
Retail total of all the above products: $249.88
Total discounts $153.94
Net total $89.95
Gift cards used $60 + $20
Total cash OOP $9.95 WOW!!!!
