This week was not as successful when it comes to couponing as I had hoped! Most of my information about what items were going to be on sale at various stores was incorrect, meaning I got a lot less then I was expecting.
1. I got a couple good deals from Walmart today. First, Bengay pain reliever was on sale for $4.27/tube and I had a $3.00 off manufacturers coupon on the purchase of one, meaning I paid only $1.24 for each tube for a savings of 70.26%. I also got some styling products from got2b, including dry shampoo and curling mousse. Both retailed for $3.94/bottle and I had a manufacturers coupon for $2.00 off each bottle. I paid only $3.88 for two, a 50.76% saving.
2. At Walgreens today, we were able to use $8 in register rewards that we had earned last week by purchasing Breathe Right strips. First, the store was having a sale on Revlon beauty tools at buy one get one 50% off. The best way to take advantage of these sales is to buy the cheapest items possible. I also had multiple coupons for $1.00 off the purchase of a single Revlon beauty tool. Therefore, I purchased a pumice stone (originally for $4.49) and paid $3.49 for a savings of only 22.27% and I also purchased a nail buffer (originally $3.49) for only $0.74 for a saving of 78.80%! The highlight, however, came from using the register rewards. Since these cannot be stacked with manufacturers or in-store coupons, we used them to buy items on sale that we need or did not have a coupon for. Therefore, we purchased Walgreens brand Pepto-Bismol (our bottle had recently busted in the medicine drawer and had to be thrown out). The medication retailed for $4.19 and by using $4 in RR, we paid on $0.19 + tax, for a saving of 95.47%! Additionally, we purchased 4 two-liters of soda (mostly Dr. Pepper, I think) at $1.00 a two liter and used our final $4.00 in RR, meaning these drinks were COMPLETELY FREE!
3. At Kroger, we scored a massive deal on Keebler cookies. The saving percentage was not fantastic, but we bought enough to last us for a few weeks I think. We purchased 8 boxes of cookies, retailing at a total of $24.34. Kroger had the cookies on sale for $2.00 each (putting our total at $16.00). Additionally, I had a $.50/2 manufacturers coupon which my store doubled to to $1.00/2, bringing our amount paid to $12.00 for 8 boxes, or $1.50/box. This was equal to approximately 50% savings, which wasn't as great as I was hoping.

Successful day of couponing today!
I managed to score the pet food deal I mentioned earlier (3.5 lb. for FREE thanks to mail-in rebate)!
Additionally:
1. 2 12.5 oz. bottles of Suave Professionals shampoo ($.50/bottle). From Meijer, store sale at 2/$3.00 + manufacturer's coupon for $1.00 off the purchase of two. This is equal to 74.5% savings!!
2. My weakest performance of the day was on Nexxus salon brand shampoo. From Meijer, store sale at BOGO 50% off + manufacturer's coupon for $3.00 off. Equal to a measly 34% savings.
3. 2 items of Revlon makeup (including Photo finish Primer and waterproof volumizing mascara). Walgreens sale of BOGO 50% + manufacturer's coupon for $2.00 off + $7.00 register rewards from previous purchase. Equal to 56% savings on the primer and 75% on the mascara. I could have done better if I didn't need/want the primer!
Total daily savings: $35.80!
Where did I get my manufacturer's coupons? From Sunday paper inserts!

So I'm going to start using this journal to share couponing tricks and such, since this has become one of my new hobbies!
For pet owner's out there, we all want to feed our pets high quality food. I use to pay an absolute fortune for Science Diet food for my animals, and when money got tight, Carly had to move to the cheap stuff. However, there is a great deal out right now to get Hill's Ideal Balance cat and dog food ABSOLUTELY FREE (after mail in rebate and only up to $12.99). You just have to pay tax! I jumped on this deal earlier today.
Here are the links!
for doggies
for kitties
What do you guys think about me doing this deal sharing thing? Awesome or annoying?

I've been drooling over Alexander Skarsgard a lot lately. I'm pissed I missed most of last season of Tru Blood. So glad the season is about to come out on dvd. So I can have a marathon of Eric Northman hotness. I keep changing my desktop to a different Alex pic. I think this one will be staying awhile.
