Walgreens coupon

Hey Hey Hey, I just got an email from Walgreen's inviting me to spend $20 tomorrow and save $5. Here's that link if anybody wants to get that very same coupon (here).BTW, I was there yesterday for emergency eggs and they had some hair color that was on sale 2/3.99. My hair doesn't look worse than it did, so I guess it's ok stuff (Leanna, I'm talking to you, if you want me to color your hair. Do you?).Also, I just called their customer service to check on my rebates and my gift card will be in the mail this week. That's like $35 coming my way!

Latest Walgreens Steal

I feel bad for blogging about a deal that's over, but I'm just so excited that I have to tell you about it. I stopped at Walgreen's yesterday for a bag of nuts on the way to the Tball game. While I was there I checked their ad one last time since it was ending and I hadn't (dang, I just dropped ice cream on my keyboard) gotten anything. I noticed that ibuprofen was on sale if you bought three bottles (100 ct) you got them for $4 each, then I remembered that they have a rebate this month that gets you $10 back if you buy 3, plus the 10% bonus for getting my rebate in the form of a gift card = $1 for all three bottles. How amazing is that?! Kiki and I get killer headaches several times a week so we go through this stuff like I'd like to go through M&Ms or bacon. What is it about the smell of bacon that is so wonderful it brings a tear to my eye? Just thinking about it makes my ice cream taste lame because now I want that form of breakfast meat so very badly

Safeway Trip 6/02

I went shopping at Safeway, which is against our family rules, but they had some deals on things that also had coupons available on coupons.com and they double up to 4 coupons (limit $2), so here's what I got:

Honey Bunches of Oats on sale for 2.50 minus $2 off coupon here = .50 per box

Oscar Mayer Deli Lunchmeat(4-6oz) 1.66 minus .75 coupon here = .91 per pack (I printed 3 coupons, so I got three)

Near East rice or couscous 2.00 minus .50 coupon here doubled = 1.00 per box

Fresh Express salads $1 per bagChex mix buy one get one free = 1.65 minus 1.00 coupon here= .65 each

LiveActive Cereal 3.00 minus 3.oo coupon = free

Corzzano's Chip 3.59 minus free bag coupon = free

Plus 1.00 more in double credit

So, I got 3 boxes of cereal, 3 packs of lunchmeat, 2 boxes of flavored rice, 4 bags of salad, a bag of chips, and 2 bags of Chex Mix for 10.03! Not bad for a trip to Safeway of all places.

6 Days with no posts?!?

I hope you all think I was being "disciplined" and "productive". I totally wasn't, unless you call being completely and overwhelmingly obsessed with online couponing, productive. It is beneficial to my home making "career" and Chris is getting into it too. We've gotten a lot of free stuff, or nearly free stuff, and we've spent very little on our groceries. Some of the MANY websites I've become obsessed with checking daily are:

and http://babycheapskate.blogspot.com/
and http://www.moneysavingmom.com/
and http://www.becentsable.net/.

I'm now checking the weekly online ads for each grocery store and mapping out how to get the best deals for each one without going out of our way, making multiple trips, or wasting gas. I never, ever shop at Fred Meyer, but as we passed it this week I ran in and grabbed ground beef for 99cents a pound and chicken for 88 cents. I stuck to those items, too, so I didn't buy anything that wasn't super cheap.

I had no idea that Walgreen's offers so many free after rebate items. And the rebates are online now, so I don't have to rely on myself mailing something in, which never happens. Walgreen's is the closest store to me and on my way home from anywhere, so that's working out well. They also give you coupons at the register for cash toward your next purchase. My last two trips have yielded a $5 and $7 towards next purchases. Pretty cool stuff. MoneySavingMom has a great tutorial on making it all work HERE. That's just for Walgreen's, but she has many more as well. I had to print it all out and study it to understand it. I'm slow, but determined.

I'm in the process of blogging about our Memorial Day (at home, in the rain) weekend. Nothing exciting, but still decent. This will probably be one of those ten posts in one day days, so try to keep up, y'all.
