Victoria's Secret 4/8


I didn't take a picture of my purchases this time, for obvious reasons, but I got:

1 pair of underwear ($8.50 value) with my Free Panty coupon = FREE
5 pairs from the 5 for $25 table - used my Secret Rewards Card which turned out to be worth $10 = $15
1 Biofit bra $45 - used $10 off any bra coupon (this is also on the free panty coupon) = $35

Spent approx. $50
Saved approx. $$28.50

Not bad for one of the most expensive places on Earth, right?

Packages!

Here are the wonderful things I found in my mailbox the other day:

A full size Aveeno lotion which was a free "sample" I signed up for a while back.



A bathing suit from Hanna Andersson that I bought with the free shipping deal I posted a few days ago. (paid $20). This suit is so adorable and such great quality!! Well worth the moolah.





My new coupon organizer I ordered on Etsy from Grandmaslittlelilly for $11.25+shipping. This is very well-made and will really help to keep my Qs in check, rather than floating around my purse in droves.



Free Organic Jelly


Toys R' Us (and Babies R' Us) has a ton of clearance right now. I am going to be posting my massive pile of deals from this week soon, but I wanted to mention one deal that I haven't seen on the blogosphere yet.

At my TRU store, Cascadian Farms organic jelly is on clearance for .98 (this is usually priced at $2.49). There are $1/1 coupons on coupons.com which make this free!

Wags 4/4


Organix Shampoo $6.99 - will submit MIR = FREE
Renpure Shampoo $6.99 - will submit MIR = FREE
2 Campbell's soup $3.00 - used $1/2 MFQ and Wags Q = .58
2 Aveeno Shampoo sale $5.99 ea.(kind of a lot for shampoo, I know! but I actually really love this stuff and it does great things for my hair)
Aveeno Moisturizer $9.99 on clearance (was $19.99)
Aveeno Essentials travel kit = FREE wyb 3 Aveeno products ($9.99 value)
Lindt bar sale $2
Green and Black bar sale $2 - used $1/1 printable = $1
Ponytail holders $1
Gimme Clips $2.99 - got $2 RR = .99
Hand mirror $2.99 (I just needed this)

Used $13 RRs

OOP = $36.30

$13.98 back in MIRS
$2 back in RRs

Net = 20.32

My receipt says I saved $33.42, but I'm not sure if that counts clearance or not. Either way, I saved more than I spent in net total, so that's pretty sweet.

Kmart 4/4


I hit up Kmart doubles on Sunday. I took Jon with me so we could use more than 5 Qs. I didn't have much time to plan though.

Pampers $9.99 - used $2/1 = $5.99
Softscrub $2.99 - used $1.50/1 = FREE
Emery Board $3.59
Nail clippers $2.49 - B1G1 50% off = $1.25 (I actually didn't know I got this discount until I looked at my receipt) - used $1/1 = .25
Tweezers $2.29 - used $1/1 = .29
Tweezers $2.29 - B1G1 50% off - used $1/1 = .15
Lacross Nail Clippers $1.69 - see below = FREE
Lacross Toenail clippers $1.99 - used $2/$4 Lacross purchase = FREE
Olay lotion $5.84 - used $1/1 = $3.84 - will submit MIR and recieve $5.84 back

OOP = $6.86
Net = $1.02

Things got a little screwy though. I am actually just now realizing this as I examine the receipt: I didn't have a $4 Lacross purchase, but the $2/$4 Q scanned w/out beeping, however it did not double. I thought I had a $4 purchase because all of the tweezers and clippers were a total mess and it was hard to match things up with the correct prices. Actually I had no idea the emery boards werw $3.59, or I wouldn't have bought them, but since I ended up getting the $2/$4 Q, things evened out. I did go to the service desk and got my $2 back when my coupon didn't double (even though I had asked the cashier at the time if it had doubled and she said yes).
A big confusing mess. Moral of the story: always check your receipt before you leave the store AND never expect Kmart to be an easy shopping experience...

However, I did win a roll of papertowels from my Kmart Rewards Card -- but I didn't cash in for it yet b/c by the time I was done with the service desk and going through all that hassle for such a small transaction, I was annoyed and didn't want to stay in the store any longer than I had to. I plan on making another trip this week to see what else I can get. Hopefully the second round is a lot smoother.

P.S. If you are wondering why I need so many tweezers and clippers, I don't. I will be selling them in my yard sale soon.

100 photo prints for $10


Snapfish is celebrating their 10th Birthday. As a favor, today they are offering 100 photo prints for $10 (including S&H!) using the code: APR5BD. It is only good until April 7th, so start your uploading today! This is a great company that I have had nothing but good experiences with.

New customers also get 50 free prints! So that could mean 150 free prints for you! You will need to use the coupon code by April 7, but the 50 free ones for being a new customer are good for a month I think.

Click through Ebates or ShopAtHome and get 7.5% back. Although I have heard that when you use coupon codes, sometimes you don't get your cashback, but it's always worth a try!
