Kmart Double Run

Man did I have a fun time doing this trip. I was also buying birthday gifts for two of my boys, and my cashier was so wonderful and let me do FOUR transactions so I could make the most of the Kmart coupons. (Note: you can only use one Kmart coupon per trip. example: $5/$50 purchase.)

1 Kids toothpaste $2.29, $1 MQ - $0.29
1 Tampax compact $4.49, $2 MQ - $0.49
2 Secret deodorant $2.49, $2 MQ - free
4 trial size Degree deodorant $0.95, $0.75 MQ - free
2 Q-tips $2.50 each, $0.30 MQ - $1.90 each
3 Ziploc bags $2 each, $1/2 MQ, plus MQ buy 2 get 1 free - 3 boxes for $2
1 Bounce dryer sheets $2.99 on clearance (could not find my coupons for it, so mad!)
4 Chinet plates $3.55, $2 MQ - free
1 Wishbone salad dressing $1.99, Peelie on chinet to get free - free
1 glade candle $3.49, $1.50 MQ from inside tin - $0.49
1 Glade candle refill $3.49, MQ to get free when you buy candle - free
5 Glade soy candles $2.99, MQ to get free - free
2 Welch's jelly $2, $0.75 MQ - $0.49 each
2 Hunt's Ketchup $1, $1/2 MQ - free
6 Reese's peanut butter cup 2 pack $0.89, BOGO MQ - got all free
3 8 pack Reese's pb cups $1, $0.55 MQ - free
2 Healthy choice fresh mixers $2.67, $1 MQ - $0.67 each
3 Sunny Delight juice $1 each, $0.55 MQ, plus 2 $0.25 MQ, 1 free, 2 @ $0.50 each
8 Snapple waters $1, 2 BOGO IP and $1 MQ for rest - all free

My 'before' total was just over $100, after coupons it was $10.45. As you can see, most of the things I bought were free or nearly free. I also used a $5/$50 purchase coupon, which is why I bought a free things that weren't on sale. I needed to make sure I had a balance that wasn't negative.

On another note (thanks mom), be sure to check the cosmetics area for clearance and sale items. My mom had several coupons for "$1 of any cover girl product" etc and was able to score free nail polish, emery boards and tweezers. I always forget to check that section. Thanks for the reminder!

Meal Plan Monday

Saturday: lunch was taco salads, supper was pizza delivery

Sunday: lunch was cookout with family: chicken, pork, and hot dogs, cowboy beans and cantaloupe. Dinner was leftovers.

Monday: Chuck E cheese for twins birthday dinner

Tuesday: Chicken and Shrimp with rice and veggies

Wednesday: Fish sticks, mac & cheese, and veggie

Thursday: Pizza ?

Friday: Spaghetti

It's a weird week for meals. We had family over for a cookout on Sunday, monday is a special out to dinner night. We have tons of leftover chicken too. Looks like I will be freezing a bunch of the leftovers so they don't go to waste. I always freeze in small containers (unless I'm planning for a specific dinner with it) so I can pull it out for hubby's lunch if needed. He always takes leftovers and if there is a bunch to choose from he doesn't have to eat the same thing all week!

Have a great week everyone!

Walgreen's trip of the week

Sorry everyone. I should have gotten this post up earlier in the week in case it would have helped you plan your shopping trip. I will try to be better about getting online right away. I finally got my laptop up and running and am able to download the pictures faster, so I should get faster.
2 Benadryl child liquid, $1 MQ on each plus $1 each in Walgreen Q from activity book
1 Gillette body wash $4.99, MQ to get free when you buy Fusion razor
1 Gillette Fusion razor $2.79 on clearance, $2 MQ
6 Scotch tape $0.50 with ad coupon, $1/3 MQ
1 Walgreen's paper plates $0.99
2 Box blank greeting cards 2/$3
1 Walgreen's activity book $0.99 (has a whole page of Walgreen's coupons in it that you can stack with MQ)

So my total after using all my register rewards from last week was $4.78. And I also earned back another $5 in rewards. The total of my coupon and ad savings was $34.73!

Be sure to check this week's ad at Walgreen's because there are 4 freebies after register rewards. Buy them to get a big stash of rewards to use on your next trips!

State Journal Update

Thanks for this go out to follower Rachel who wrote to let me know that the Sunday State Journal is likely increasing their Sunday paper price. It sounds like the price of a Sunday paper is going from $1.75 to $2 each. This price increase is supposed to take effect September 20th.

If you have been considering a Sunday only subscription in order to receive coupons, I would sign up before that price increase.

You can go to discountednewspapers.com to look for deals in your area. I see there is a deal going on right now for the Saturday and Sunday State Journal for $1.13 a week. That is a great deal.

Want an even better deal? Do what my friend Gayle does. She shares a paper with a neighbor. Find an elderly or other neighbor that gets the newspaper. See if they will share with you daily, or offer to pay for part of the subscription. You both get to benefit, especially if they don't use the coupons!

Kmart...the good and bad news

According to www.hip2save.com, Kmart will be holding double coupons again starting this Sunday. Yippee! Of course the bad news is that this will be the last such time they will have them in 2009.

This is your last chance at Kmart double for the year. Take a good look around your house and see what you will be needing between now and then. Then check you coupons and match them up!

I know I don't need a lot now, but there are things I may be needing before the new year.

Check Kmart's website under "coupons". There are many coupons that they have going right now including a $5/$50 purchase and $5/$20 toy purchase.

Hip2save will likely be posting a comprehensive coupon match up list, so be sure to check out her site!
