4/25/11 shopPING

I saved a bundle today and am so excited!! I spent $21 at 4 stores (yeah, I went to 4 stores with my 2 sleep-deprived children in tow. Call me crazy. It wasn't that bad, though, believe it or not.) and received $7 in +UP Rewards and will receive a $7 rebate as well. So, I spent $7 net! Not bad. Rite Aid was my biggest haul for less so I'm sharing below:

2 Spinbrush toothbrushes $7.49 ea. bogo (used 2 $2/1 coupons)
2 Orajel kids toothpastes $3.99 ea. bogo (used 1 $1/1 coupon)
Promo=buy $10 Arm&Hammer products, get $5+UP
3 PB M&Ms $.88ea (used b2g1 coupon). Got 2 $.88+UP
Subtotal= like $8.36. Used $5+UP I had previously earned. Spent $1.10 OOP. (and, remember, I earned $6somthing in +UPs for next time.)

$1.10, people!!

And, Rowan loves the Spinbrushes so, sure, I'll spend a few pennies to entice him to brush his teeth more. :D

I get such a thrill being able to buy stuff, FUN stuff no less, for very little money. It's an excellent hobby for me. I don't have lots of "extra" money hanging around to blow so this way I can buy stuff my family needs/wants and get a rush in the process. I guess it's like some people go on vacation, or do extreme sports, or take classes that interest them.... I coupon! I'm having my cake and eating it, too!

Any great deals you've found recently??

  1. FABULOUS!!! I love your enthusiasm. :) I haven't been to Rite Aid yet this week.

    Last week with double coupons at Albertsons I got overage on 10 Idahoan potatoes, a free zone bar, a free soy sauce, and 6 boxes of Nabisco Crackers for $0.49 ea.

    By the way, I also went to Rite Aid last week and got the body wash we were talking about. The Spokane store was completely out of women's on the second day of the sale. So frustrating. I bought 4 of the mens and they said that I could exchange them later. I am hoping to do that this afternoon so that I have 2 womens' and 2 mens.

  2. I have $11 in Huggies coupons I'm going to use at Target this week to get three packs of diapers for about $3.46 each! (That's the total tallied after receiving getting a$5 gift card for buying three.) Works out to being $.10 a diaper! For Huggies! Super stoked, as you can imagine, since I just decided to sell my cloth diapers. You're awesome Chelsie. Love your excitement!
