This weeks deals

Hola!

Here is a recap of this weeks deals. I didn't do much shopping this week because are headed to Austin this weekend for a little getaway! Woo Hoo! Whenever we get away from the Valley its always a joyous occasion.

Anywhoo, here is a recap of what I did this week

First stop, Walmart



The only highlights from this trip were to free baby wipes $5 diapers and all the free bic highlighters. Staples is selling their Bic highlighters for $0.50 this week and there is a $1/2 manu coupon so you get two for free! But, I didn't want to drive all the way to Staples, so I just printed the ad and had Walmart price match. That is just about the only thing I like about Walmart. The fact that they will price match just about anything.


Moving on,
My friend Deb and I went to three stores last night. She likes to coupon too, so we find all the great deals together.
CVS
Oh how I love CVS. But this trip made me a little sad. I actually paid a lot of money on this trip, probably the most I have EVER spent out of pocket there. But I got all my favorite things



All my favorite household items, mascara and candy
I spent $25.40 REAL DOLLARS (single tear)
and I saved $30.65
AND I received $13.00 Extra Bucks (money to use at the store)
So, it's "like" I paid $12.40 for all that. Which is still a lot considering I usually pay for my groceries there with pocket change. Can you tell I'm upset about it? The cashier thought I did a great job but I was pretty sad about the fact that I was actually paying REAL MONEY. MY real money. Ugh, I think I will have to go back and get all those free sobes I have coupons for just to make myself feel better...

OK, moving on. Again

Next stop was the Harlingen Walmart. It was pretty busy so we tried to hurry and i did manage to find a few good things



I got the kettle chips, dried mangos and bunnies for our road trip. So in other words, I didn't have any coupons for those, (GASP) but I didn't really care because I'm just so excited for our trip.
The Kraft Mac n cheese was on rollback for $1.00 and it just so happened that I saved the $1.00 off coupon from a few weeks back which made them free. I'm telling ya, don't throw away coupons! Even if you don't use the product (which we don't eat this stuff) because it can be donated, or given to a friend, or the missionaries. Those boys always need food. Plus, I love it when I get something for free. Especially at a place like Walmart, where I rarely cut my bill in half.
Oh, I also got the post its for free. They are $1.00 at Walmart and you can print that $1.00 off any sticky post it coupon online making them free! I love free.


Then we ran to Target


There was a lot of clearance in the freezer section, so we spent a lot of time there.
We found the rolls on clearance for $1.24 and I had a $1.00 coupon so $0.24 for rolls is a great price. Especially if you are like me, and lack a certain baking skill when it comes to dough.
I also found the cinnamon rolls on clearance for $1.46 and I had a $0.50 manu coupon. Cinnamon rolls just under a buck is a great deal because again, I'm lacking that dough making talent. Maybe it's altitude, yeah, we will just go with that.
The Tonys pizza is $5/5 this week and there is a $1/2 manu coupon you can print online, so that's $0.50 a pizza! great deal.
The tide stain release was $6.99 then I had $4.50 is coupons making my favorite laundry product $2.50! awesome!
The annies fruit snacks are also for the trip. And I made the mistake of leaving them on the kitchen table (it was after 10 when I got home) so now my Steven is trying to climb a chair so he can reach his all time favorite snack. Now, he is pulling on my shirt, holding the box of fruit snacks, telling me, nak mama nak mama! And it so happens, that I am sleep deprived enough to allow him to eat fruit snacks at 9 in the morning, while he is still in his pj's. While "I" am still in my pj's. Sigh.....

But look, he didn't even need my permission. He just opened the box!



I think his hand got stuck...

And he got a fruit snack.....

Well, maybe I can finish writhing this post in peace now that my 1 year old son is sitting quietly on the floor, eating fruit snacks.

Now that I have suckered you into reading this crazy blog for the past 15 minutes, I will let you go...


Have a great day!
