Quick Trip To Wags! Spent $4.55 Saved $48.55

So I wouldn't normally throw (not literally) Jo into the car and race over for a sale(especially after an afternoon of trying to take pictures of a 3 yr old, a 9 month old, a 7 month old and a 5 month old)...but for cheap diapers you know we were there in 2 minutes! Christie over at Wild for Wags posted about some possible clearance diapers...this hasn't reached AZ but I will be keeping my eyes open! With tons of diaper coupons out there you could make some awesome deals!


BUT they had restocked my FREEBIE Reach Toothbrushes so I picked up two of those and...
Transaction 1
All Detergent $2.99(Good Price!)
Nivea Men's Body Wash 5.99-$1 MFC=$4.99+ 6RR (Money Maker!)
Nivea Touch of Happiness Body Wash $5.99- B1G1 Free=FREE
2 Reach Toothbrushes $.99 each- $2 off 2(found on Reach website)=FREE
Schick Hydro 5 $7.99-$5 MFC=$2.99 + 4RR (Money Maker!)
Cashed in 10RR(neutragena from last week)
Grand Total $3.27 Plus I got back 10RR...I love getting paid to shop!!
Transaction 2
3 Neutragena (cleanser,scrub, face wash) $4.11each-(3) $1Mfc=9.33+ 10RR
2 Butterfingers( fillers) .39 each(Note to self: "I will not eat these, I will not eat these")
Cashed in 10RR (from Transaction 1)
Grand Total $1.28+ 10RR!
SOOOO overall...
I spent $4.55 saved $48.55 and still have 10RR so I can go back and do it all over again!

Target...Good Deals! Bad Cashier!



Couponing is not a CRIME:)

You know the coupon commando cashier...the one who double checks that you have every item before pushing the little K1 button that pushes it thru...she was my cashier today. I love the days when I get the cashier that's impressed by my money saving skills but this was not one of them...
I did save a lot although she price adjusted 2 coupons to ensure I did not make a better deal than I should...She actually said "You know you can only use 1 Manufactures coupon and one Target coupon, right?'
UHHHHHH ya lady this ain't my first rodeo... shes quite lucky Rob had stopped in the store (since he was in the area) because if I had Jo crying and this ladies attitude I may have lost it! (OK we all know I wouldn't have done anything but sometimes I can imagine)
So anyways back to my money saving awesomeness...
BABY
~Huggies wipes Price Cut $1.99 used $.50 TQ and .75 MFC=$0.75(not bad!)
~Johnsons baby wash and lotion Price Cut $1.97-.75/2 TQ -(2) $1 off=$0.60 each

Spent 20.05 Saved 119.84! I love free stuff!!

Another great week...although I wish there were more women's body wash deals than men's since I have cabinets full of men's "stuff" and only 2 bottles of women's. Also this week I came to the decision that my Walgreens on the corner purposely doesn't stock the good sale items...so I went to another one and they are awesome!
This morning I briefly lost my RRs but I found them! We had a showing on our home Friday and in a rushed clean up I threw my envelope in a basket under my desk behind a sewing machine...kinda like when you put milk in the pantry!
