Blog Recommendation

I was just perusing Deal Seeking Mom's blog, as I do daily, and found a couple of posts I thought worthy of sharing here. I would like to recommend this blog if you are looking for just a few that you look at everyday. DSM is a great resource to me and anyone else looking for some great deals!

Head here to find out how to get 200 flower bulbs for $11.o4!

And

Here to find out how to get a great coupon for .75/1 Mom's Best Naturals cereal or oatmeal. I just bought this cereal at Kroger for $1.99 and was super happy with that price. With this Q (after doubling), the cereal will be $1. I got the all natural version of Lucky Charms and it is fantastic and not full of high fructose corn syrup and other crappy stuff!

VS and Baby Gap

I stopped in at Victoria's Secret to use my "free panty" coupon. They must hate me b/c I am one of the people who uses this coupon only to get the free undies and then leaves w/o buying anything else. It defeats the whole purpose of their campaign, I'm sure.

I also went into Gap, next door, which was a mistake on my part b/c I can never resist their clearance rack, but at least I'm not paying full price, right?

Shorts = $6.99

Dress = $11.99

Still kind of pricey, IMHO, but Gap's clothes really are good quality. So soft and comfortable, and you can really feel that difference.

Anyways, I am selling a bunch of Penny's old clothes to make up for the money I spend on her summer clothes. She is growing up so fast!

Wags 3/29

Penny has an ear infection, so we had to go to Wags to pick up her prescription. In hindsight, I wish I would have had the Rx sent to Kroger so we could get 50 fuel reward points (earlier this month we got a bunch for Rx for my wisdom teeth operation + infection and I got gas for $2.12 a gallon a few days ago b/c of that!) But anyways, while we were waiting on the Rx we wandered around in the Easter aisle and they had a ton of stuff clearanced out already!

Giant bottle of bubbles - $3

2 Kleenex - $2.29 for both - used B1G1 Wags in-ad Q - I got the lotion tissues for Penny's poor little nose.

Egg dying kit - .66 (saving this for next year)

Chocolate bunny - .99

Peeps - .52

3 Easter tumblers - .13 ea. w/in-ad Q *only 2 shown

Easter sticker book - .50

OOP = $8.75

I dunno how much I saved exactly, but it was a bunch.

BTW, I didn't have my MFQs with me, but I noticed a bunch of Easter candy on clearance that I know there are coupons for, like Sweettarts and Reese's, so if you have those coupons, go get some cheap candy.

Saturday was a good day for mail

In my mailbox on Saturday!

A coupon from Duke Energy for a free 6 pk. of CFLs at Wal-mart (sucks that I will have to step foot in Wal-mart to use this though!)

and

A coupon for a Free Yoplait Greek Yogurt from Pssst! Plus a bunch of .35/1 Qs that will double at Kroger and probably make for some very cheap yogurt.

Also, in the background you see an issue of Babytalk, for which I have a free subscription.

Target and Wags 3/27

Target:

Can opener - $6.99 (our old one was useless)

Cat litter 28 lbs. - $10 (on sale from $10.99)

Curious George 2 movie - $6.99 (on sale from $13.99) - I bought this for Penny b/c she was sick and having a movie marathon. It isn't shown b/c she was watching it when I took this picture.

Toddler sandals - $10 (on sale from $12) - also not pictured

Total OOP= $33.98 (saved $9.99)

Okay, not the best savings, but it is what it is.

Wags:

5 lb. Blue Diamond Almonds - $4.99 w/in-ad coupon (down from $7.99)

Dentek floss - $2 - used $1/1 MFQ = $1 + got $2 RR = $1 moneymaker!

Simply Saline - $7 - used $1/1 MFQ = $6 + got $7 RR = $1 moneymaker!

Dove Haircare - $4 + got $4 RR = FREE

Wags brand multivitamins - $3 + got $3 RR + FREE

2 Snickers eggs - $1 ( I had a sweet tooth)

*also pictured are 2 Wags April coupon books

Total OOP = $19.99 (saline and vitamins on HSA account)

RR = $16

Net total = $3.99

This is a good price for the almonds alone...so essentially I got a great price on almonds and everything else for free.

It happened again!

Today I went to see Rick Steves talk at the downtown library. Before I went, I stopped by Borders to pick up one of his books to get autographed (not knowing that they would be selling them at the library, oh well). I paid full price for the book, which I pretty much never do for books. Then I came home and myfrugaladventures had posted a 40% coupon for Borders that was good for today only! Burned again...
