SORRY I HAVEN'T BEEN A GOOD BLOGGER LATELY. BETWEEN WORK AND DR'S APPT'S, I'VE BEEN TOO POOPED TO BLOG OR READ OTHER'S BLOGS. I WOULD COME HOME AND CLICK ON A FEW OF MY FAVORITE BLOGS, AND FALL ASLEEP AT THE COMPUTER. MY DH AND DS DID ALL OF THE SHOPPING LAST WEEK. I MADE OUT THE LISTS, CUT THE CPNS, AND THEY DID AN AWESOME JOB ON THE REST!! MY DS (AGE 14) IS NOW CALLING HIMSELF THE "COUPON KING" AND CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN. I AM SOOO PROUD OF HIM. HE SHOPPED LIKE A PRO!! (THE CASHIER SWIPED THE CPN ONE TIME TOO MANY. HE WALKED OUT OF MEIJER WITH 2 FREE BOXES OF BETTY CROCKER WARM DELIGHTS THAT SHOULD'VE BEEN $0.25 EACH. NOW HE'S WANTING TO TEACH ME HOW TO SHOP...LOL...) ANYWHO, I HAD A DR'S APPT. TODAY AND FIGURED THAT SINCE I'M ALREADY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND CLOSE TO WALMART, THAT I'D GO AHEAD AND CASH IN SOME OF MY "FREEBIES" CPNS. THIS IS WHAT I PICKED UP:
8 PACKS SCHICK RAZORS 10 ct. (plus 2 bonus razors) $1.97...USED $2/ANY SCHICK RAZOR CPN = 8 PACKS FREE
9 CANS PURINA ONE DOG FOOD...HAD 9 CPNS FOR FREE CANS FROM RECENT INSERT
CASCADE RINSE AGENT...USED FREE RINSE AGENT CPN FROM HOME MADE SIMPLE COUPON BOOKLET (WHEN I GOT HOME AND CHECKED MY MAIL, I HAD RECEIVED ANOTHER HOME MADE SIMPLE COUPON BOOKLET...YEAH!!)
1 CAN DEL MONTE DICED TOMATOES...USED CPN DEL MONTE SENT ME FOR A FREE CAN
1 BOTTLE COUNTRY BOB'S ALL PURPOSE SAUCE...USED CPN FOR A FREE BOTTLE THE COMPANY SENT ME.
2-LITER DIET DR. PEPPER...CPN IN THE MAIL FROM DR. PEPPER
TOTAL OOP (TAX)...$1.90
...trying to find ways to spend less, save more, get more organized and just have fun!!!

4 STORES-78 ITEMS-FOR A TOTAL OF $69.06
WE HAD ANOTHER GREAT GROCERY SHOPPING TRIP YESTERDAY. WE HIT WALGREEN'S, (WHICH WASN'T SO GREAT!!) MEIJER'S, KROGER'S AND WALMART. THIS IS WHAT WE GOT:
WALGREEN'S: THIS TRIP WAS TOTALLY SCREWED UP. WE WENT IN TO GET THE REYNOLD'S ALUMINUM FOIL FOR FREE AND 1 TUBE OF COLGATE FOR $2.99 MINUS 0.75/CPN = $2.24 MINUS THE $2.00 BACK FOR YOUR NEXT TRIP AT THE REGISTER. THAT WAS MY DH'S TRANSACTION. THEN I WAS GOING TO USE THE $2.00 TO PAY FOR WHAT I HAD PICKED UP: 2 BOXES OF DENTURE TABLETS AND ANOTHER FREE ALUMINUM FOIL...BUT, THE TOOTHPASTE TRANSACTION GOT SCREWED UP AND THE CASHIER "QUICKLY" RANG UP MY ORDER BEFORE MY DH COULD TELL HER THAT HE DIDN'T GET HIS $2 OYNO. WHEN HE PICKED UP THE TOOTHPASTE, HE PICKED UP THE VALUE PACK THAT HAD 2 TUBES OF TOOTHPASTE FOR THE PRICE OF ONE. IT WAS MARKED ON THE SHELF THAT IT WAS PART OF THE $2.00/BACK DEAL. HE TOOK IT TO THE CHECKOUT AND IT DIDN'T RING UP AS PART OF THAT DEAL. SO THE CASHIER WENT BACK AND PICKED UP 2 TUBES OF TOOTHPASTE. WE DIDN'T WANT 2 INDIVIDUAL TUBES AT $2.99 EACH... SO... TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT... WE ENDED UP PAYING WAAAAY TOO MUCH AT WALGREEN'S. OUR TOTAL WAS $11.01 AND THE TRIP SHOULD'VE ONLY COSTED 0.24 FOR THE TOOTHPASTE AND $4 FOR TWO BOXES OF DENTURE TABLETS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAVEN'T EVER SHOPPED AT WALGREEN'S AND I WON'T BE SHOPPING AT WALGREEN'S AGAIN. I FORGOT TO POST THE TOTAL BEFORE COUPONS...IT WAS $16.73
