Blogging in the new year!

December 21, 2008 by

I am thinking about making some changes to my blog in the new year.

Two of my goals for the new year are to focus on saving (I’d like to have a baby emergency fund, Christmas fund, and entertainment fund and I don’t want to take money from our monthly budget to fund them) and stockpiling. I’d like to place a focus on those two things and share what I’m doing to help you.

Here’s what I’m thinking about doing in January for the daily breakdowns. Let me know what you think and what other changes you’d like to see! (or anything you’d like for me to add)

*Scenario Sunday – scenarios for saving during the week at your favorite stores including a focus on “stockpile” items for the week

*Menu Planning Monday – my menu plan for the week including budget friendly recipes

*Tip of the Day Tuesday – tips for using coupons, budgeting, and saving

*Instant Win Wednesday – instant win games

*Thrifty Thursday – tips for saving money or making the most out of your budget

*Freebie Friday – all kinds of freebies!

*Savings Saturday – ads and deals for the upcoming week as well as an update on my savings for the week

I’ve also thought about changing the name of my blog to something more “catchy” but I’m completely lacking in the creativity department. If you think I should change my blog name for the New Year, and you have ideas, share them here!

Have a great week!

Savings Saturday: CVS Sunday and Monday sale (12/21-12/22 for beginners)

December 20, 2008 by

Tomorrow the “big” CVS sale starts. I’m posting my scenarios early in case your stores start the deals early.

You can view the breakdown of the ad here.

Even if your stores start the deals on Saturdays usually, most of these items are part of the 2 day sale, so it may not work. Scan sale items first to see if they are ringing up at the sale prices.

If you are new to CVS, don’t have any coupons, or have very few ECBs to start with, here’s the easiest way to start: (you don’t have to do all of these scenarios, but it also gives you an idea about things that you can substitute if your store is out of something)

Transaction #1:
*Buy 1 Excedrin Express Gel – $3.99
Use a $2/1 printable which can be found on Excedrin.com

Total OOP = $1.99, earn $3.99 ECBs (plus there is a mail in rebate for the Excedrin, so it will be free after rebate)

Transaction #2:
*Buy 2 Arm & Hammer Essentials starter kit $2.99
Use 2 $1/1 printables from Armandhammer.com

Use your $3.99 ECB (they will have to adjust it down to $3.98), earn $5.98 in ECBs

Transaction #3:
*Buy 1 Arm & Hammer Essentials starter kit – $2.99
*Buy 1 Zantac 150 8ct $4.99

Use $1/1 printable from Armandhammer.com and $1 Zantac printable found here
Use your $5.98 ECB and earn $7.98
There is a MIR for the Zantac – you should get $4.99 back

Transaction #4:
Buy Right Guard Professional solid – $6
print .50 off coupons here (use code RIGHTGUARD)
Buy Thermacare heat wrap – $2.49

Use $7.98 ECB, pay .01, earn $8.49 ECBs

Transaction #5:
Buy Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine nail Color $5.99
Buy Thermacare heat wrap – $2.49

Use $8.49 ECB (they will have to adjust it down to $8.48) and earn $8.48 ECB

Transaction #6:
Buy Sally Hansen Lacquer Shine nail Color $5.99
Buy Thermacare heat wrap – $2.49

Use $8.48 ECB, earn $8.48

Transaction #7:
Buy 1 Zipfizz energy 3ct $5.99
Buy 1 Halls Naturals 25ct $2.59

Use $8.48 ECB, spend .10, get $8.58 back

Transaction #8:
Buy Right Guard Professional solid – $6
print .50 off coupons here (use code RIGHTGUARD)
Buy 1 Listerine antiseptic 16.9oz $2.99

Use $8.58 ECB (they will have to adjust it down to $8.49), earn $8.49 ECBs

So, for an investment of $2.10, you get all of this and you will earn $6.98 in rebates and still have $8.49 in ECBs.

Here are my scenarios (I’m starting with more ECB and have some coupons):
CARD #1 (I have $55.72 in ECBs to use)

Transaction #1:
Buy 1 Listerine antiseptic 16.9oz $2.99 get $2.99 (limit 5)

Buy 2 L’Oreal HIP Metalic eye shadow duos $6.99 get $6.99 (limit 2)
Buy 3 ThermaCare neck to arm heatwrap 1ct $2.49 get $2.49 (limit 3)
Buy 2 Right Guard Professional solid 1.8oz or aerosol 6oz $6.00 get $6.00 (limit 5)
Buy 1 Zipfizz energy 3ct $5.99 get $5.99 (limit 1)
Buy 1 Excedrin Express Gels 20ct $3.99 get $3.99 (limit 1)
Buy 1 Halls Naturals 25ct $2.59 get $2.59 (limit 1)
Buy 1 Zantac 150 8ct $4.99 get $4.99 (limit 1)

Total before coupons = $74.95

Use $1 Listerine CVS coupon from pharmacy book, use .50 Sally Hansen coupon from 9/28 SS, use 3 $1 Arm & Hammer printables, use 2 $1 L’Oreal coupons, use 3 $1 Thermacare coupons, use 2 .50 Right Guard printables, use $2 Excedrin blinkie, use $1 CVS Excedrin CRT, use $1 Zantac printable, use $4/20 CVS coupon (from an e-mail)

After coupons = $56.45 (spend .73 OOP), earn $74.95 in ECBs (19.23 more than I started with)

Transaction #2:

Buy 1 Benefiber drink mix 16ct $7.29 get $7.29 (limit 1)
Buy 2 Crest Pro Health toothpaste 4.2oz or rinse 8.45oz $2.99 get $2 ECB (limit 2)

Total before coupons: $47.24
Use: $2 Benefiber coupons, 2 $1 Crest coupons, $1 CVS Listerine coupon (from Pharmacy book), Free Gillette body wash when you buy Fusion cartridges coupon
Total after coupons = $37.25
Earn: $19.28 in ECBs (I end up with $56.98 in ECBs which is $1.26 more than I started with)

Transaction #1:

Buy 2 Right Guard Professional solid 1.8oz or aerosol 6oz $6.00 get $6.00 (limit 5)
Buy 1 Zipfizz energy 3ct $5.99 get $5.99 (limit 1)
Buy 1 Excedrin Express Gels 20ct $3.99 get $3.99 (limit 1)
Buy 1 Zantac 150 8ct $4.99 get $4.99 (limit 1)

Buy 2 Crest Pro Health toothpaste 4.2oz or rinse 8.45oz $2.99 get $2 ECB (limit 2)

Total before coupons: $30.98
Total after coupons: $25.99
Pay w/ ECBS: Earn $5 ECB (ECBs remaining: $47.40, which is $6.38 less than I started with)

**There is a MIR (up to $5) for the Zantac, so I will get $4.99 back in cash for purchasing that.

ETA: I went to 4 stores in 2 1/2 hours last night and wanted to update with a few notes from my experience:

On the L’Oreal HIP make-up, it is ONLY the Metallic kind that is printing. They had about 4 colors that were in the Metallic and they were at the very top of the display in all of the stores I went to.

The Thermacare is considered “trial size” so you can’t use the $1 off coupons (I was bummed about that because I had a bunch).

There are only certain flavors of the Listerine that are giving ECBs (I bought the Cool Mint and it worked). You can only use one of the $1 off pharmacy coupons per transaction and the $1 off comes off only once.

My Sally Hansen ECBs didn’t print, but apparently that’s because the 24 hour stores still have the Saturday sale prices in effect until 6 am and it was ringing up B1G1/2off. It should be fixed this AM.

At every store I went to, the Arm & Hammer is on a cardboard display that only holds about 15-20. They were wiped out at every store, which is not surprising considering the limit is 5, and there are IPs to make it a moneymaker.

The Excedrin ECBs print for the Excedrin Express Gels or the Excedrin Tension Headache (Purple box) Express Gels.

If you buy the Right Guard aerosol, there is a $2 coupon inside the box. I tore it off and used it toward my next purchase 🙂

Daily In store deals for 12/20/08 – So many deals, so little time!

December 20, 2008 by
If you can work some shopping into your busy last weekend before Christmas schedule, there are some great deals today.

I found this one on FW:


Toys ‘R Us has a number of doorbusters as a part of their two day sale. Shop 6 am-1 pm today to get these deals. One of the things that they are offering is the Disney Tinkerbell movie for $9.99. There is a $3 printable coupon here, so you can get the movie for $6.99. If you have the Toys ‘R Us ad, you can also try price matching at Walmart if your store is out of stock.
You can view the full ad here. Here are a few more highlights:
*50% of all Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundles ($39.99-$44.99)
*BOGO free – all Darla dolls & accessories
*50% off all Furreal newborns – $6.99 each
*Fisher Price blue or pink medical kit – $6.99 each
*Leap Frog Fridge Talk Magnetic Word Play recorder

Gap Outlet: They will be having a huge sale starting today with 60% off original prices.

Gymboree Outlet: All sweaters will be $12.99. All microfleece will be 50% off.

Hallmark: Get three .99 cards for $1 using this printable coupon here.

Kroger: Huggies diapers/Pull Ups are on sale this week for $9.99/each. When you use your card, you get an instant $3 off (through 12/23). There are $1 and $1.50 manufacturer’s coupons out there from the inserts and home mailers and $2 Pull Ups coupons (printable, inserts, and mailers). There are also coupons that you can load onto your Kroger card for $1.50 and $1 off at Cellfire.com and Shortcuts.com. I think the cheapest way to do this is to buy 2 packages of Huggies diapers (one regular/one Supreme). Use the $1 off manufacturer’s coupons if you have them. The $1.50 and $1 will come off from Cellfire and Shortcuts. The $3 will come off instantly. If you have all the coupons, it should be $11.48 for 2 packages. If you have receipts for at least 5 packages, you can send in for the rebate from Caregivers making it $9.48 for 2 packages (or $4.74/package). **You can only do this deal two times per transaction.** If you are doing this deal, be sure to print your $2/2 coupons from the blue coupon links at the top of the blog or on the sidebar.

You can also get free Cottonelle toilet paper with the coupons from Cellfire and Shortcuts along with your manufacturer’s coupons and free Colgate Total toothpaste with the $1.50 Cellfire coupon and your printable $1.50 coupons.

Target:
All good things must come to an end, and unfortunately, some of our favorites will be expiring today. Shop early if you want to find some of this stuff in stock. You can print these using the coupon generator on HCW.

Here are a few of the good ones that will be expiring:
*$2/1 Archer Farms ham – use to purchase the ham steaks which are ranging in price from about $2.02-$2.50 (so they will be .02 to .50/each after the coupon)
*$1/1 Fresh Cauliflower or Broccoli – Broccoli is on sale 3/$4 this week which makes it .33 each after the coupon
*$1/2 Kellogg’s Pop Tarts – YMMV, but the boxes of these are $1.78 in my stores. Combine this coupon with the $1/2 manufacturer’s coupons that are out there and you pay .78/box of Pop Tarts
*$1/2 Pillsbury refrigerated baked goods – There are biscuits in a green package (you can view them here) that are priced at $1.07 at my stores. If you buy 6 of these and use 3 $1/2 printables combined with the .75/3 manufacturer’s coupon (blinkie), you will pay .32/can. If you don’t have the printables and buy 2, it’s .57/can which still isn’t a bad deal. My stores have also had a number of the ready to bake cookies on sale 2/$4. There are $1.50/2 blinkie coupons, so you pay $1.50 for two packages of ready to bake cookie dough.
*$1/2 Quaker cereal – Life has been on sale 2/$4 at my stores. Combine this with a $1/2 manufacturer’s coupon and pay $1/box (this definitely isn’t the best price ever for cereal, but if you like Life, it’s not a bad deal).

Keep an eye out for the Rayovac alkaline batteries in your $1 spot. Use the printable coupon here to get free batteries.

Walgreens 2 day doorbuster deals: (this ends today)

*Webkinz Lil’ Kinz pets – BOGO (priced at $6.99)

*Buy 2, get 2 free – kids toys (priced at $6.99/each)

*Buy 1 @ $6.99, get 2 free – Cafe Gel candle (11 oz) or Patriot Candles Mini Reed Diffuser

*50% off Sale the Color Workshop Cosmetic case (regularly $9.99 and up)

*50% off Mens’ Razor or Groomer (Remington Code or Titanium 6 in 1 grooming kit)

*50% off Sale W photo SD memory card (1 to 4 GB)

*50% off outdoor lighted Christmas decorations, light sets, and trees

*50% off digital photo frames (3.5 inch = $29.99, 7 inch = $39.99) – There is a HOT deal on the digital photo frames. This one was posted by Jen (**Kooopons**) on the BBC board.

Both of these frames are eligible for the $20 Easysaver rebate this month. You can get both frames for $29.98 after rebate (or $25.98.99 if you do the rebate on a Walgreens gift card with the bonus 10% back). If you only buy one, the 7 inch will be $19.99 after rebate and the 3.5 inch will be $9.99 after rebate). If you haven’t done the Easysaver rebates before, it is super easy because it is all online. Basically, you just have to enter your receipt and enter the # in.

*Red Baron pizza – 2/$5

*A&W, 7 Up, Sunkist, Canada Dry, or Hawaiian Punch – .79

*Spend $10 on Hallmark cards, get a $5 RR

Here are a few highlights from the regularly weekly ad:
Olay Deal – Olay Regenerist products are buy one, get one 50% off this week. The Olay Regenerist cleanser is $7.49. So, buy 2 and your total will be $11.24. There was a $5 off coupon in Sunday’s P&G insert. After this coupon, it will be $6.24. Use a $5 RR to pay (if you have one) or just pay the $6.24. There is a mail in rebate from Olay for a $15 gift card when you buy 2 Regenerist products. Here’s the link.
(ETA: Apparently the shelf tags say “prices start at $9.99” but the ad does not specify this, so if you have issues, just show them the ad)

From the 4 day sale ad (12/17-12/20):
Spend $15, get $5 RR
Triscuit 2/$6
Wheat Thins 2/$6
Ritz 2/$6
Capri Sun 2/$6
Oscar Meyer Bacon 2/$6
kraft american singles 2/$5
oscar meyer cooked ham 2/$5
deli shaved roasted turkey 2/$5
vitamin water 20 oz 5/$5
fuze 18.5 oz 5/$5
powerade 32 oz 5/$5

There are $1/2 printable coupons for use on Nabisco crackers here.

Buy 5 boxes of Triscuits, Wheat Thins, or Ritz and use 2 $1/2 printables. Spend $13 (or $8 if you are rolling one of your holiday RR into this deal) and get a $5 RR back.

Other deals:
The DeMet’s turtles are on sale for $.99 and there is a $1.50/1 coupon from the 11/16 SS insert. You have to buy more than one box to use the coupon or it beeps. So, buy 2 boxes and pay .48. Buy 8, use 5 coupons, and pay .42. Buy 11, use 7 coupons, and pay .39.

I am also doing these deals:
Buy Tide – $12.99 (use $1 coupon from this week’s inserts)
Buy DeMet’s Turtles – $.99 (use $1.50/1 DeMets coupon)
Buy Butterball chicken broth – .50

Use 2 $5 RR (one from Holiday deals, one from Gatorade purchase)
Spend $1.98, get $2 RR

Buy 2 Oral B stages toothpaste – 2/$4
Use $1/2 Oral B stages coupon
use $2 RR from Tide
Spend $1, get $2 RR

I found this on the Common Sense blog:

FREE Energizer Rechargeable charger – It is on sale for $7.99 this week. There is a $5 Easysaver rebate. There is also a $5 MIR from the manufacturer. Now that the Walgreens Easysaver rebates are online, you can enter the receipt and then submit the original receipt for the manufacturer’s rebate. There were also $1 off coupons in the 12/14 SS inserts. If you use one of your $5 Holiday RR to pay for it, it ends up being an $8.01 moneymaker! It is a $3.01 moneymaker without the Holiday RR and a $2.01 moneymaker without the manufacturer’s coupon.
