CVS 1/16/11

2011-01-16T21:07:00.003-05:00

This time around I am going to be more conscious of the items I purchase couponing. My goal this year is to save while couponing to to help eliminate debt.

So, to get started, I first stop this year was to CVS. My stockpile has slowly withered so now its time to get back on track.

Transaction 1
3 packs of Charmin ultra soft tissue @ $9.99 each
(note: the deal is for the 16 rolls but some stores have bonus pack left over from a previous deal which includes 4 more rolls)

Total including tax was $32.07 OOP, received $10 ECB.

Transaction 2
6 pepsi product 12 packs @ 3/$20

USED: $10 ECB from trans 1

Total including tax was $10.60 OOP, received $10 ECB

Transaction 3
2 Purex liquid detergent B1G1 @ $6.59
Goddie Scunci @ $2.99

USED: $10 ECB from transaction 2

Total was $.14 OOP.

Finally, I paid $39.45 + tax for $92.08 worth of merchandise!!!

New York & Company

2011-01-16T17:26:00.004-05:00

If any of you have signed up for emails from NY & Co, they released a fabulous 3-day $50 off $100 coupon that is good for anything in the store, the coupon limited some sales but the manager assured me it was valid on ANYTHING! The coupon expires tomorrow so HURRY!

I just return home from my local mall and I grabbed so nices pieces spending $50.33 OOP plus tax and saving $137.25. I purchased 2 shirts, 3 pair of socks, 2 sweaters, 1 pair of gloves, and 2 pair of sunglasses.

I'm BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2011-01-16T17:22:00.002-05:00

Having a full time career and being a full time student has consumed SO much of my time. I did not coupon for most of last year, but this year I decided to get back in tune with the savings! Hopefully I can manage my time to include couponing like I was before when I was unemployed. This is going to be a challenge but I just have to prioritize my time and not procrastinate.

Paula Deen's Pot Roast- soy sauce instead of worcheshire sauce, Lipton onion soup instead of bullions, no garlic, bay leaves, or red wine. If using Lipton onion, recommend 1/2 package. I used a full package and had to add water(a bit salty!)

Splurged TOO much @ Express

2009-12-05T19:44:00.004-05:00

I spent $59.25 + tax on both pair of jeans, less than 1 pair alone. I actually spent more than I had calculated. I had 4 pair in my hand $49.50 and $59.50. Somehow I became confused and placed the wrong pairs on the counter.(bummer) The jeans were BOGO 50% off. I also had a coupon for $30 off $75 purchase. Had I gotten my inital order, I could have saved about $10.

Splurging a little @ The Limited

2009-12-05T19:16:00.010-05:00

The Limited had 40% off everything sale TODAY only and I had a few store coupons! WooHoo!! I know The Limited is a pricey store but sometimes it is ok to spend a LITTLE, especially on quality. I had several coupons but only the $/$$ worked with the sale.

Forenza Sweater @ $59.50 sale: $35.70 (x2)

Earrings @ $14.50 sale: $8.70

-$30 (the manager combined both transaction, allowing me to use 2 coupons at once)

Subtotal: $50.10 + tax less than the price of 1 sweater

Received a $25 virtual dollars (for every $50 you spend get $25 virtual dollar promotion)

Southlake Mall Savings 10/5

2009-10-05T21:23:00.002-04:00

My first stop was Footlocker. I needed tennis shoes since most of my shoes are heels. To my surprise, there was a 70% clearance table in the store. I got a pair of Jordans ($84.99) for $25.50 and a pair of Nikes (54.99) for $15. I paid $40.50 plus $2.84 tax and saved $99.48. Both pair were cheaper than one pair at regular price!!

My second stop was The Limited. I wanted to use the $50 Virtual Dollars I received last month. The great thing about the Virtual Dollars is you can use them on ANYTHING!!! I also had a coupon to use as well. My first transaction included the pants($79.50) clearanced at $34.99, the pants($128) clearanced to $49.99 and a pair of earring (not pictured) for $16.50. After the $50 coupons, my total was $51.48 + $3.59 tax. I saved $172.52 or 70%.

I purchased the shirt in my second transaction. It was $39.50, on sale for $19.50. I used my Limited coupon I received in the mail for $15 off purchase. My total was $4.50 + $.32 tax. I saved $35 or 87%.

I received 2 Mystery Cards for $15, $20, $25, or $100 to spend 11/2 to 11/22.

VIRTUAL DOLLARS: The Limited runs promotions where you get $25 Virtual Dollars for every $50 you spend. When redeeming the bucks, you have to spend $50 to get $25 off during set dates. I received mine last month, but was only able to redeem them starting today.

Today I felt like the cashier was pretty rude. When she realized I had coupons, she asked for them, and spread them one by one over the counter. As she scanned my items she placed the coupons in a pile. Not only that, she waited to enter the penny item coupon, luckily I was over $10 after coupons. Because of her rudeness, I politely told her I double checked all my items BEFORE I got to the register!

Today went terribly wrong! I had to revamp my order in the 1st store...when I got to the register I was short on my $5/$25 so I piled candy bars on the counter to reach $25. When I got in the car I realized I purchased the WRONG carefree liners! So I have to return them and received $3.40 back. I had planned 2 transactions but ended up going to three different store to find items. I did not get the Lipton teas(2), glade sense and spray(2), papermate pen(2), or the comp notebooks(2).

$1.15 for DINNER!!!!

2009-07-22T01:25:00.002-04:00

Tonite, I decided to cook, instead of eating out. We usually spend between $6 to $15 dollars depending on where we go-from Wendy's to Zaxby's. To cook my meal, it only cost me $1.15, using food items in my kitchen's stockpile. Saving money is so wonderful!

So, for dinner, I cook a pasta dish. My SO does not care for spaghetti so I used Muellers Penne, Ragu pasta sauce, Kroger ground beef and New York Texas Toast on the side. I used half box of pasta, half jar of sauce, and half pack of beef. I only used 2 toast from the pack. Now for the price breakdown:

Muellers pasta cost me $.31
$.50 for the sauce
$1 for the beef
$1.20 for 8ct box of toast

I calculate $1.15 was used for the portion I cooked tonite.
pasta $.15, sauce $.25, beef $.50, and toast $.25.

BTW, it was delicious!!!!!!! There was even enough for seconds for the both of us!

WELCOME HOME SGT DAVID BATTLE

2009-06-23T12:01:00.002-04:00

I was so excited to witness such an event! I had my 7 month old nephew with me and we both enjoyed it! After picking him up, I noticed several people along Highway 85 with flags waving, so I rushed home and called non -emergency to see what was going on in the city. The dispatcher informed me a soldier was returning home. Luckly, Clayton County fire trucks were staged at the entrance of my neighborhood, so I got my camcorder and walked down to see the procession.
