I had $104 worth of register rewards expiring so off I went to spend them. The ad this week was weak! So I decided to stock up on a few things that were priced right and then I used coupons to stretch the register rewards! I started at Walgreen's. Two weeks ago I bought a bunch of register rewards items. I cashed most of them out in the form of Walgreen's mail in rebates but I still had $104 to spend. Here is what I ended up with: 28 boxes of macaroni and cheese {that will last us 7 months} 7 packs of paper towels {use $1 Walgreens coupon and $1 insert coupon to make these $3 each} 28 boxes of kleenex 2 boxes of pancake mix 1 pack of Tylenol Precise 2 heat pads {buy one get one free} 20 packs of seeds {I'm already getting excited about my garden} … [Read more...]

Hey Guys!I did a quick run around town today and I've got some good deals to share. First up some important business.In a couple hours I'll be moving over to Wordpress on my own web address. My new home will be www.fullpricenever.com ! Easy enough right? I'm sure excited, but also a bit nervous as I don't want to loose any of you as coupon friends! It should auto redirect you, but in case it doesn't you now know my new address... be sure to hop on over and say hi! I will most likely be down for a bit tonight when the change actually happens. I'll be hanging out on my facebook page during that time!Okay, on to the deals... Rite Aid-I bought the toothbrushes yesterday when there was an overlap of ads. They were free and I'll be sending in for a $2 rebate so I actually made money buying toothbrushes... and I'm such a money freak that I had to make sure to get the ones with the free toothpaste sample attached... every saving counts, right?Then there were the soft lips. They are $1.59 after … [Read more...]
Yesterday was another beautiful day. Clear, warm and good deals were had by all... well at least my oldest daughter and I.Once a week the girls all have pizza for dinner. I'm no Chef and I'm certainly not a cook so we do what we have to do in our house. That means I choose a few meals I know I can handle and we rotate through themevery week. This helps me save money and my sanity. Keeping easy meals on hand stops the impulsive fast food pickups.With pizza on my mind for Wednesday night pizza dinner we headed over to Albertson's. They were on sale for 2/$7 and I had a $5 rewards certificate. I paid $1 each!We go through 500+ envelopes a week at the office and we were out! My oldest has already gone through 2 other binders and I'm getting a bit unhappy about having to buy a 3rd. The envelope's were $10.99 each and the binder was $19.99. $63.95 on non-fun stuff! Using a Staples rewards certificate to pay... HAPPY!And I have an example to show you how I earn the rewards certificates... I … [Read more...]
It was such a beautiful day yesterday. Warm, sunny and the skies were so clear you could see for miles. Pete {the husband} and I decided to get out of the house and get some stuff done, including a 3.5 mile walk. It felt so good to breath in the clean air.We love walking along the river trail. It's the perfect place to use the jogging stroller and/or ride your bike all the way down to the ocean. We're not that brave... but we pretend to be!The big kids got a better offer {movie with Grandma} so it was just us and the toddler. I can't figure out who this message is posted for? There are only pedestrians and bikes on the route? Maybe a warning for aliens?Surprise Pete! Gotcha on film!Yep, I did this again to the tune of 10 more bottles. Today I decided to buy some of the good stuff, you know the $.99 Gallo! Seriously, everyone on my Christmas gift list is getting wine!I needed fillers to use all of my register rewards at Walgreens and the $.39 paper towels were it! I got 11!I … [Read more...]
For someone that didn't fight any crowds today at Black Friday, I sure am tired. When I started out shopping today I really didn't think I would get much seeing as though everyone else started hours or even a day before me. I think I still really made out!First stop was Rite Aid. I paid for the scrunci's first and then bought one Philips item at a time using the one before to actually pay. I spend out of pocket $5 and ended with a $5 +up... making this all free!The older girls really wanted to experience Black Friday at Walmart. I couldn't bare to not provide them this learning opportunity. We learned about a whole lotta things at Walmart. For instance we learned to let the crazies just go ahead before they took us out and we learned to always check our receipt after we pay. The latter was not a fun lesson. I always do a rough calculation in my head as I'm shopping. My total was about $10 more than I thought it would be. When I examined the receipt there were 2 items that I was charged … [Read more...]
