Smooth Legs and Clean Hands...A Little Deal

Did a quick run in at Meijer on Thursday to snatch up two always-needed items at our house....shaving cream and Wet-Ones wipes.  Here is what I took home for $14.85 OOP:

• 7 Skintimate Shave Creams $16.03.  Used 7 .55/1 = $12.18
• 6 canisters Wet-Ones wipes $12.00.  Used 3 $1/2 = $9.00

I also used the $8 OYNO q I received last week for stocking up on the kiddo vitamins to bring the total down even more.  I got back a $10 OYNO for buying $25 worth of select products for an net cost of $4.85...that is only $0.37 per item:)

(You only had to hit the $25 total pre-coupon to trigger that Cat....that is how I got it down to a net cost of $4.85)

He Actually Got It Right!

As I peered out the window this morning and saw two Tribunes and a Sun-Times at the foot of my driveway, I almost couldn't believe my eyes.  Was I seeing this right?  Had he finally succeeded?  Well wouldn't you know it...winner, winner, chicken dinner, he had!  Now, will he be able to sustain it for more than one week?  Only time will tell, but I have to honestly say I don't hold out much hope considering his past track record.

Since it is Mother's Day, the hubs took me out to breakfast at Nosh and then to do a little shopping for our room redecorate.  I was able to find a cute little table and some awesome shams.  We finished up and headed home...but of course, I had to make a small pit stop to do some couponing...just a teeny, weeny bit...it is my day after all!

Here is what I picked up at Jewel, I had to do two transactions:

Transaction 1:

• 4 boxes Magnum ice cream bars $12.00.  Used 4 $1/1 q's and the $3 OYNO Cat I picked up at Wags the other day for the Mr. Clean deal.

Total OOP was $5.21, and I got back a $4 OYNO Cat.

Transaction 2:

• 4 boxes Magnum ice cream bars $12.00.  Used 4 $1/1 q's and the $4 OYNO Cat from the previous order.

Total OOP was $4.21 and I got back another $4 OYNO Cat.  Not to bad for some awesome ice cream bars...gonna take these to my Mother-In-Laws house tonight to enjoy after a nice dinner.

Happy Mother's Day!

A little Wal-Mart Goody

While perusing my favorite coupon blogs, I came upon a potential little Wal-Mart deal over at The Shopper's Apprentice.  The Buzz Lightyear version of Operation was rumored to be on clearance for only $5.00, and wouldn't you know there was a coupon in last weekend's Sunday game insert for $3.00/1 any Operation game making these a steal for only $2.00....if you could find them.  So after dropping Jaxon off at school this morning, Logan and I stopped for eggs, bananas and tater tots at the Aurora Wal-Mart and gave it a look...but no such luck, my fellow deal seekers had already beat me to them.

But being the addict I am, I still needed my fix.  The boys and I had to head to Geneva this afternoon to make a return and get my hair cut, so you know I stopped at the Wal-Mart on Randall and low and behold there were two left on the shelf:)

Now some may label me greedy for buying both instead of just getting one and leaving the other for a fellow couponer.  But alas, all is fair in love and coupons so I snatched them both up...one for my kiddos and one for a future gift (if I gift it to you don't be offended that it only cost $2, I take great pride in that).

To make this deal even sweeter, look what was hanging on the shelf:

It's a mail-in-rebate for a free pizza when you buy any Hasbro game...and since I bought two, I can send in for two free pizza coupons.  My total for both games was $4.75 with tax and that now includes two free pizzas.
