Walgreens Trip #3
Yep I went again..lol Here's what I got:
1 Vick's Synex $6.00 - $4 q= $2.00
1 Halloween Activity book .33 w/in ad q
-$2 RR from Clorox
Not sure of the exact total, because there was a problem with the Vick's being in the wrong spot so the one I got rang up wrong and when they did the refund they kept the receipt. :( It should be the .33 + tax though. AND I got a $2 RR from the Vick's. I wish I had more coupons for this one, but with the bad papers I got last weekend I only had one P&G. Oh well :)
Family Dollar Trip 9/30/10
Here's what I got:
4 Gain Dish Soap $1.00 - (4) $1 q's = free
1 4 pk AA batteries $1.00 (I needed these for the Swiffer Wet Jet..I didn't realize it didn't come with batteries..lol)
Total: $2.45 (The receipt didn't print so I'm not sure if the batteries didn't ring up right or the tax was $1.45, but that seems high) Oh well can't complain :)
Kroger Trip 9/30/10
Just went to see what I could find. I thought I had coupons for the butter, and that is what I mainly planned on getting, but I guess they expired..lol. Not a great trip, but I wanted the cream soups for some recipes I'm going to try. Here's what I got:
2 Campbell's Chunky Soup $1.50 - (2) .50 q's doubled = .50 ea
8 Campbell's Condensed Cream soups (various) $1 ea - (2) .40/4 q's doubled = .80 ea
1 Honest Ade Fruit Punch $1.25 - .50 q doubled = .25
1 Dole Salad $1.09 (manager's special) - $1 q = .09
Total: $7.80 (.06 is tax)
Total Savings: $10.34 or 57%
Kmart Trips 9/30/10
I had two coupons expiring today and Kmart was the only place around here I could find the Febreze Noticeables. The coupon say 1 per transaction though so I had to separate them. Here's what I got:
Transaction 1
3 Pumpkin votive candles .74 ea = $2.22 (no q I just LOVE the smell)
1 Febreze Noticeables $10.49 - free q = free
Total = $3.17 (.95 is tax)
Transaction 2
1 Febreze Noticeables $10.49 - free q = free
1 Shirt $2.99 (no q)
Total = $4.00 ($1.01 is tax)
Walgreens Trips 9/30/10
Alright I wanted to roll that $2 register reward I got from the Swiffer deal. After I post the shopping trips I did today I will do a post explaining how to roll them a little better for those who don't know. This picture is two different transactions. I wish they would have had more of the Pantene! They only had the 2 bottles left. Here's what I got:
Transaction 1
Pantene Restore Shampoo & Conditioner (1 each) 2/$8 BOGO 50% off= 2/$6 - (2) $2 q's = $2.00
1 Halloween Gift bag .13 w/in ad coupon (filler)
-$2 RR from Swiffer Deal
Total = .59 (.46 is tax) Get $2 RR from Pantene
Total Savings: $13.14
Transaction 2
2 Clorox Wipes 2/$5 - (2) $1 q's = $1.50 ea
2 Oxiclean Max Force 10 ct 2/$5 - (2) $2 q's = .50 ea
1 Halloween gift bag .13 w/in ad coupon (filler)
-$2 RR from Pantene
= $2.89 (.76 is tax) get $2 RR from Clorox
Total Savings: $16.52

All You Magazine
I know most of you have probably heard of All You magazine. I just got the October issue in the mail today so I decided to do a quick post for those of you that may not know about it. This is a great magazine for us bargain hunters! The first and most important thing about this magazine is it is chock full of coupons!! You all know that is enough for me to buy it. :) Well it also has a lot of great articles about saving money! The magazine only costs about $2.25. You can only buy it at Walmart (good luck using the coupons there though..lol hahaha) You can also subscribe for about $15 a month. The October issue isn't out in the store yet I don't believe but it should be soon. Be sure to check it out. The October issue has $88.22 worth of coupons! The nice thing is the third page lists all the coupons that are included. It's a great magazine! Check it out!
You can also check out All You online. They have daily freebies, printable coupons and tips online.
You can get 2 free trial issues here. Be sure to cancel it after the first two or they will send a bill.

Coupon Train
Great Sites to Join
Kraft First Taste This is a site where you sign up to try out new products from Kraft! Sometimes you will receive free coupons and sometimes it is just high value coupons. They don't just mail the coupons out automatically. They usually email you when an offer is available and then you go to the site and let them know yes you want it and confirm your address. I have received a lot of free item coupons including: Digiorno Deep Dish, Homestyle Mac & Cheese, Crackerfuls, Philly Mini's, etc.
Houseparty This is a great site! There are multiple parties available to apply for. Only apply once per PARTY. You can apply for as many parties as you'd like though! It's very simple and they send you a great party pack full of stuff for your party! You don't find out if you are accepted right away. They email you about a month or so before the party date and let you know you are a host! I am hosting a Capri Sun party so yes you do actually get picked! I will post a pic later of everything that came in that party pack!
Vocalpoint This is a site where you receive samples of products or coupons for products to try out and review. I have received Bounce Dryer Bars, Pantene, Crystal Light, and much more. They also include some high value coupons with the samples so that you can give them out to friends and family so they can try the product also.
My Get Together This is another party site. You apply to host a party and they send you out a party pack! I mean who doesn't love a party and a party where you get free stuff is even better! I was chosen as a Chex Mix party host! I will post a pic of what I received in this party pack later also. This is also a part of Pssst which is General Mills place for testing products and reviewing them.
BzzAgent This is a site to try out all kinds of products. They call them campaigns. I've only done one campaign so far and it didn't have anything that was mailed to my house. I know a lot of people that do this though and they have received a lot of items to try. I am a newbie on this site :)
I may be missing a few. If I think of any I will let you know. If you are a member of any of these sites leave a comment and let us know what you've received!! Now go register at these sites and get the freebies rolling! :)

Coupon Train
A few of you have signed up for the coupon train. If anyone else is interested please let me know. We would like to get the train rolling on Monday! Just to remind you how it works Jackie and I will start the train with an envelope full of 50 coupons. We will send it to the next person on the list. That person will take out whatever coupons they need and replace them with their own coupons. This is not an every week train. It will just go from person to person. Coupon trains are a great way to get coupons you need and get rid of coupons you don't need (is there such a thing) hahaha j/k. But it really is fun. If you decide you don't like it you can always jump off! Why not give it a try!
Email me and let me know if you are interested!! If you already emailed me I need your wishlist and address!! morefree4me@yahoo.com

Hartz Dog Treat Recall
The move by Hartz Mountain Corp. came after random sample testing by the FDA indicated the presence of salmonella organisms in one or more 8-ounce bags of Hartz Naturals Real Beef Treats for Dogs.
The company, based in Secaucus, New Jersey, has not received any reports of animals or people becoming ill as a result of contact with the treats, and is investigating the source of the potential contamination.
The potentially affected treats are stamped with the lot code BZ0969101E, according to the FDA.
Hartz is urging dog owners who have purchased the recalled treats to immediately throw them away.
The FDA advises dog owners whose pets are exhibiting such symptoms as fever, diarrhea, abdominal pain and nausea to seek immediate veterinary assistance.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall should contact Hartz at 1-800-275-1414.

Coupon Train
Hey Guys! Jackie and I are interested in getting a coupon train set up. For those of you that aren't familiar with what a coupon train is you would make a wishlist of either coupons you are looking for or just products you use that you would want coupons for. Then every week you would get an envelope of coupons together and mail them to someone on the list and then you would get an envelope of coupons from someone else. This is a great way to get rid of some of the coupons you won't use and get more of the ones you need.
Right now Jackie and I are just in the beginning stages and trying to figure out who is interested. We haven't decided exactly how it will be run yet, but we would like to see how many people are interested.
If you are interested or you know anyone that is let me know!! Also let me know if you have any questions!!
