Wow! I can't believe I haven't posted anything in 5 days! Shame on me!

Don't worry though... I have been finding some great deals in the mean time!

Today @ WalMart:

*1 Bottle of Suave Professionals Hairspray
*25 packages of Ivory Soap (3 bars in each)
*4 packages of Mr. Clean Magic Erasers (twin packs)
*1 package of Finish Quantum Dishwashing taplets (10pk.)
*1 bubble wand for the baby
*1 birthday toy for the baby on clearance (Was $25.00, now $10.00)
I think it is a Crayola coloring/drawing board, where the music gets faster as she draws on it???
*1 Men's Speed Stick deoderant

Subtotal: $52+
Subtotal with coupons: $17+

Total including tax: $21+

MAKE SURE YOU WATCH THE CASHIER SCAN ALL OF YOUR COUPONS!!
The cashier I had today did not scan one of my coupons properly and I would have missed out on .50cents!
I know .50cents is not a lot, but jeez everything adds up! The more money in my pocket, the better!!

So this wasn't a fabulous shopping trip, but if you really think about it, the toys that Mia got were atleast $11. Without the tax, $6 is a great deal for a deoderant, 25 pcks of soap, 1 bottle of hairspray, 10 dishwashing tablets and 8 magic erasers!


YOU MIGHT ALL BE SURPRISED THAT I DID NOT DECIDE TO PURCHASE THE SUNDAY PAPER THIS PAST WEEKEND!

Reasoning behind this would be: I checked some of the blogs ahead of time, like I always do, and found out that there would only be 1 Smartsource ad this weekend. I chose not to grab a paper because I didn't see any great deals this week that I would need that insert for. In the future, if, for some reason, I do need a coupon from this insert, I can always purchase it on eBay, or a coupon clipping site.
This week, it just wasn't worth my money!

Like I mentioned on my F/B page, check out Price Chopper's F/B page to grab a coupon good for 2 FREE shrimp skewers. If you have a party or dinner coming up at the end of the week, print out a few coupons now, and visit multiple stores during the week, or run to the same store on different days this week to stock up! This could lead to a very inexpensive dinner!
I probably will pass this deal up because I really don't like fish, but for those of you that do like shrimp, Good Luck!

I had a huge disappointment this weekend (Sunday), when I went to grab the B1G1 FREE Clean & Clear Body Wash deal at Walgreens. I had the B1G1 coupons, so I would have gotten 2 for FREE (well, actually 12 for FREE since I had 6 coupons), but they were all out!!.. At two different stores!

I received rainchecks from one of the managers, but unfortunately my coupons are going to expire on the 15th of this month!

I have read other blogs where people have said that they are going to WalMart and WalMart is price matching the Walgreens coupon, and then after they use the B1G1, they are getting them all for FREE or close to FREE. I am going to try this out in the next few days and I will let you all know what happens.

The corporate policy says that WalMart should give these to me for free, but we'll see. Some managers or cashiers will give you a hard time to pick your battles wisely!

GREAT DEAL FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE UTICA AREA!

Not really a coupon deal, but just wanted to mention that you can get a small ice cream for next to nothing a Nicky Doodles.

The other day, I went there and ordered 2 "baby" sized ice creams. The total was 2.18!! CHEAP!

The thing is, the ice cream wasn't really baby sized. They give a huge scoop, on a cone or in a dish and it's the perfect amount, even for an adult!

Grab some ice cream and let me know how it goes!

Also, over the weekend, I grabbed the Pampers diaper deal that I think I previously posted. (If I did not, I can post it)..

I ended up getting 6 packages of diapers/pull-ups and two packages of 72+ wipes for $27 (after register rewards)...

You can figure I got 6 packs of diapers for $4.50/e and got the 2 packs of wipes for free!!!!!

This was more money out of pocket than I usually like to spend, but now we won't have to buy diapers/pull-ups for a while and we could use the extra wipes!
Usually these diapers/pull-ups sell at around $8-10 per package, so I got them about half price! The wipes were selling at Walgreens for $2.99/pack! Outrageous!

I will try to go out and grab a few more deals tonight?? If I do, I will update later!

Leave feedback! I would love to know what you guys think!!
