Well on top of finals, a water pipe bursting and illness in my neck of the woods, sales this week SUCK! Or maybe I just haven’t had enough time to really search out for better deals. Oh’z well’s!

Rackin Up the Savings at Safeway!

More and more, I seem to be having awesome luck of timing at Safeway. I went in this morning because for some god awful reason I was OUT OF COFFEE!!! AAaahhhhh!! So needless to say I wasn’t really looking for any other deals besides coffee, but then, *LIGHT BULB!* I remember one of my favorite cashiers telling me there were going to be a few resets done in the store yesterday and that always means clearance! So I ended up not getting coffee, (None were a good enough deal for me) but I still had my coupons with me so I grabbed some Starbucks and hit the isles. Here is what I got today.

Transaction

• 2 Fabreze with Gain room sprays $2.79 each
• Used a B1G1 Free MFC
• 1 Gain dish washing soap, $1.99
• Deal is Buy 3, Save $3

Changing things up a bit

Just a little family love!

So I would like to change things up for this post. These are collages I have been working on that are almost completely done.

I feel it is safe for me to add this to my couponing blog since I got all of the paper, stickers, and bling at a minimum of 75% off at Michael’s.

And I got 150 pictures for free on CVS’s website a few months ago.

My family is amazing, and not to mention, we have some very beautiful babies!

Our family is small, but we make up for it with tons of love!

Obviously, these pictures were taken over time. As you can tell from all the chubby babies who are all now HUGE!

I tell them to stop growing all the darn time, but no one listens to me!

Haahahahaa!

Here is one of the laser cut frames I got from Michael’s that I have painted a metallic purple.

Each one of the collages is going to have one and then I cant wait to hang them in my living room!

Yay for being creative!

Not Bad for Safeway!

It is possible to save big at Safeway! But it never fails that my little one is sick and I was out of chicken noodle soup and just HAD to get them which changed my OOP. But still this was an AWESOME score!

Transaction:

• 2 Simple Face Wipes
• 2 Campbell’s Chicken Noddle Soup
• 1 4 pack Angel Soft TP
• 1 roll Sparkle Paper Towel

Coupons & Deal for Simple:

• Each Simple Face wipe is $5.99
• Simple is Buy 2 Save $2
• Used a Just4U coupon that was Buy 1 Get 1 50% Off
• And I used 2 $2/1 MFC

Here is the math:

• $5.99 x 2= $11.98 – $2(instant savings)= $9.98 – $2.50(B1G50%)= $7.48 – $4(2 $2/1 MFC)= $3.48 for both or $1.74 each!

Coupons & Deal for Sparkle and Angel Soft:

• Angel Soft 4 pack TP is on sale for $1.39 each
• Sparkle Single Roll of Paper Towels is on sale for $1.39 each
• I used a $0.25 MFC
• A $0.35 of Sparkle Paper Towel Just4U Coupon
• And a $1.39/2 Angle Soft or Sparkle Paper Towel Just4U Coupon

Here is the math:

• $1.39 x 2= $2.78 – $.25= $2.53 – $0.35= $2.18 – $1.39= $0.79 for both or $0.39 each!

With the holidays coming I am looking forward to being able to bring home more super cheap goodies like this!

Small Haul but Awesome Savings!

We all know it is never good when the little ones get sick. And let’s face it, we are entering, “Mommy, I don’t feel good.” season. So I do my best to keep a good stockpile of cold meds but my niece recently cleaned me out. Today my little one had the look. Can we say “EMERGENCY RESEARCH!”? I was lucky enough to find this deal at CVS. I didn’t make any EB’s but I was still able to pay very little out of pocket.

Translation
4 Triaminic, Sale $4.99 each

Coupons
4 $3/1 Triaminic
1 $1.50/$5 Cold Relief CVS MCM

With tax Total OOP: $5.41!

Not a bad price when the little one needs it.

That’s About Right!

LoL!
