Kroger trip 6/28





Keep an eye out at your Kroger for these razors marked down. You might want to check other stores also, because if Kroger marked them down other stores may have also. I saw these last week and I was just hoping a good coupon would come out for them. :)
The coupon just came out in yesterday's Smart Source.

4 Schick Quattro Titanium Razors (these are the ones with the trimmers) $4.59 ea-$4 q= .59 ea!

Total: $3.73 ($1.37 is tax) 87% savings These are originally $9.19 each!!

Storms

Man these storms have been crazy lately! We had another tornado warning Wednesday night. We didn't end up getting a tornado, but we had some really bad storms. They fried our cable box, modem and router. I had to miss work on Thursday since Mediacom couldn't make it until around 2 pm on Thursday. Well they came and replaced the cable box and modem. We didn't realize the router was fried yet. So we tried for hours to get everything working and on our second call to Linksys (router) they figured out the router was destroyed. So I had to go to Kmart since that is the closest store and get a new router. $65 later we got everything up and going so I was able to work today. So now we are going to have another sale tomorrow to try and make some extra money since we definitely weren't expecting that.

Hopefully the storms are done now!! I hate storms!!

Kroger Catalina Deal

There is a catalina deal going on at Kroger right now. I'm not sure the exact details or when it ends. I saw it on A Full Cup, and I have done it three times already, but today I only did it once, because they ran out of toothbrushes.

The deal I did was buy 4 Reach toothbrushes get $4 Catalina. The reason this is such a great deal right now is there are Reach toothbrushes that are on sale for $1 right now and there are $1 coupons out!! So you can get 4 free toothbrushes AND a $4 Catalina to use on something else!! One of the posts mentioned that it ends 6/24. Hope you are able to score this great deal! I hope they stock more at my Kroger!! :)

More




I forgot to take a picture of the drawer full of toothbrushes..lol I decided to put the bin and box of the leftover stuff not on the shelves in here too. I also have a food shelf back there, but it wasn't part of the challenge so I didn't take a pic of it.

Other pictures.





Well I decided to put some of each shelf so maybe you can see what is on there a little better.

It's been a month! New shelf pictures.


Alright, about a month ago we had a yard sale and pretty much cleared off the shelves. So I posted the picture of what it looked like and said I was going to see if I could refill it in a month. Well here is what it looks like now. I also have a bin and a box of the stuff that didn't sell from the sale. I didn't put them on the shelf though. Sorry the picture is kind of dark.

Not a lot in the mail today, but I got something from FedEx! I was chosen to be a National Consumer Panel member and I got the scanner and welcome package from FedEx today. I haven't watched the DVD yet or finished reading through all the paperwork, but it seems pretty cool!

They send you a scanner and you are suppose to scan everything you buy and enter if you use coupons and once a week you transmit it back to them. You earn points that you use to redeem for gifts. They sent a catalog with all of the prizes you can redeem. Most of the items you need ALOT of points to get. They include a prepaid return form, so if it gets to be too much and doesn't seem worth it you can send everything back for free. Once I read it a little more and actually start using it I will post some more info.

I also got:

OK magazine (free!!)

Free sample of Shirley J universal sauce.

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Swagbucks

I just had to share I just got enough Swagbucks for my very first $5 Amazon Gift Card! Woohoo! I haven't claimed it yet though I had to come here and share first. I searched "grumpy" and got 10 swagbucks then I did the special offer for one more and now I have 450 Swagbucks! If you haven't signed up for this you should try it out! I don't recommend installing the tool bar, because I researched it and a lot of people said it messed up their computers. I hardly ever download anything. I will only do the programs I can do without downloading anything. If you aren't a member of Swagbucks yet, go here and check it out!!

I will go to claim the gift card in a bit and then when I receive it I'll let you guys know how long it takes. I think it's just an online one so maybe they just email it to you?
