Back in the saddle again.....

I hit Walgreens again last night and here is what I got:

And for any family members out there that might be reading....... NO!!!!! There is nothing that you need to know....I am stocking up on diapers for my babysitter!!!! Anyway, I started with a $3 RR plus a $1.50 RR that the nice lady in front of me gave me (she earned it on the candy bars & said she wouldn't use it). I ended up spending $21.21 out of pocket for everything in the picture (plus a soda & a candy bar that somehow disappeared, hmmmm, wonder where that thing went??? LOL) Plus, I have $12 in new RR for my next trip. Not bad for 5 packages of Huggies, 4 Theraflu, 3 Dove Body Wash, 18 Ramen Noodles, 12 candy bars & a soda!!!!

Couponing.....oh, how I missed you

After taking off from couponing during the holidays and trying to use up some of my stash during the month of January I took a quick trip to Walgreens & Kroger this week and walked away with some great deals. It made me realize how much I have missed snagging my good bargains over the last couple of months.

First stop.....Walgreens. I did have 2 of the $10 Register Rewards left over from the Pepsi deal a couple of weeks ago so I had to get those used. I got the following by using those 2 - $10 RR plus $45.16 OOP and I have $48 in new RR to work with next week.



Then a quick trip over to Kroger only to be half way done shopping when the power went out. But I waited it out and glad that I did because I scored all of this for just $10.88!!!!



I am planning another Kroger trip for tomorrow so I can take advantage of some more of $5 "instant rebate" items as I am thinking is might be the last week of it for a while. I will post that trip later in the week.

Well, it's been a few months since my last post...

Seems that is becoming a regular habit of mine huh? Well, since my last post I have gotten a part time job with a local craft store. It's nice to have a little extra cash but it seems that most of my earnings seems to go right back to them!!! Oh, well, at least I am getting some cute stuff for decorating my house!!!!

Well, my mom was here visiting for a few days and she thinks we have too much stuff in our freezers and pantry sooooo......I decided to start participating in a freezer challenge for the month of January that one of my favorite bloggers is hosting. I hope to start participation this weekend...in the meantime I need to inventory my stuff and come up with a menu. I will keep you all posted!!!
