Have you stocked up?

Update: I went to three walgreens today and NONE of them had the Triaminic sale any longer (2/$10). They still had the $5 rebate when you buy 2 but they are now regular priced at $6.99 each. So now they are $14 - $4 coupon = $10 then get $5.00 back. So each box is now $2.50..which is STILL a good deal. It must have been a fluke that that one walgreens had the deal still.

Cold season is here and once again it's time to stock up on meds.

If you have kids, this is one post you MUST read.

Last week, I heard about the Triaminic deal happening at Walgreens and stocked up. This week as I was shopping I saw a sign next to the Triaminic that said it was an ongoing deal until the 26th!

I know this is last minute as the deal expires in 2 days but it's an AWESOME deal.

Triaminic is on sale right now 2/$10 (two for $10). And if you purchase 2, then you get a $5 RR (register reward) back. So really that makes the deal 2/$5 after RR. Now that in and of itself is a pretty good deal.

BUT WAIT..it gets better (of course!)

Somewhere at your local walgreens is a book floating around called "Healthy Savings to help you Stay Healthy - All Season Long" and then it says "over $30 in Savings inside!" Go find this book!

If you open the book up there is a $2 coupon for any triaminic product...since you are buying 2 products the coupon suddenly becomes $4 - Are you catching on yet?

So here is how it works: (I'll help you snag a few more deals since you'll already be there so listen up!

1. Go to your local WAGS (walgreens) put two triaminics in your cart (I personally like the disolving strips)

2. Go to the Tampon/Pad isle and get a 16 pack Carefree panty liners (in the light pink packaging) which are on sale for $1.99 but normally $3.29 i think - Just trust me!

3. Go to the meds section again and look for the Therma-Care single pack heat wrap (just get the trail/1 pack) - Should be $2.49 on sale - Again trust me.

4. Go to the candy isle and snag 3 packs of tic tacs which are on clearance for $0.25 each! (or something that equals approximately $0.75)

5. Get in line for check out.go up to the counter.

6. When your turn arrives, ask the cashier tell her you'll be breaking your purchases into two transactions and smile.

7. Put ONLY your 2 triaminics on the counter.

8. She'll ring them up for $5.00 each - on sale. Your total will come to $10.

9. Let her ring up the Triaminic coupon from the coupon book I referred to earlier.

10. This will now bring your order to $6.00 (and maybe tax too)

11. Pay her for your transactions.

12. When she gives you your receipt, she'll also hand you a $5.00 RR - woo hoo!

13. Put the rest of your items on the counter (pantyliners, tic tacs and therma-care)

14. She'll ring these up and the price will come to $5.23 (plus tax)

15. GIVE her your $5 RR you just got!

16. Your new total will come to $0.23 (plus tax). Pay it.

17. She will then give you your receipt and 2 MORE register rewards! - She'll hand you $2.00 RR for the Pantyliners (deal ends on 26th) AND she'll hand you a $2.50 RR for the Thermacare (deal ends on 26th).

Then go home and save your RR's for next week's deals.

So here is the final break down.

You'll get: 2 triaminic cold or allergy meds, 1 pantyliner, 1 Therma-care and 3 packs of tic tacs for $6.23 out of pocket (OOP) plus tax.

And you'll walk away with $4.50 in register rewards to use during your next purchase.

So the true total for all your good is $1.73 plus tax.

Sounds good to me!

Happy Shopping!

Back in Full Swing

Time to dust off this old blog and get it back into shape. I've been back for a month now and have now collected enough coupons to really get back into the swing of things.

In addition, I've had several people express interest in another series of coupon classes. If you too are interested, please leave a note and I'll include you in all emails regarding said classes and put you on my latest coupon tips emails from now until then.

For those who have taken my 4 part series coupon classes, you are not getting the tips emails any longer as you know how the game works. If though, you'd like to be included, just let me know.

In addition to the tips emails and the classes that are being talked about I am preparing to take my couponing in a new direction.

There have been a few people recently, who have expressed interest in purchasing from my inventory. This of course makes me SUPER happy. Because I get to do what I love (save money & hunt down the deals) and YOU get to snag an awesome deal without all the hassle of couponing or driving around from store to store snagging the deals. I get a deal, you get a deal - everyone wins! Plus the awesome thing about this is A) you don't pay shipping & handling (unless you live out of state of course). B) you don't pay tax and C) You are buying from a trustworthy person.

Plus as an added bonus, you will get a warm fuzzy every time you purchase from us because you will know that you are helping to support the Heath Family Education Fund! 50% of all proceeds will go to that fund AND 10% of every deal will go to the Lord! You really can't do better than that! The other 40% will be reinvested into the inventory!

So how will this work? I'm still toying with the idea, but I think I'll have a continual list on this blog listing the items, how many I have and the price I am selling them at. I will also have the Wal-mart price listed as well, so you know what kind of deal you're really getting.

This may or may not actually be of interest to many of you, but if it is, let me know and I'll be happy to assist in any way possible. Thus far, we've not had to take out a loan for Ben's schooling and we hope it stays that way. UNF just raised tuition prices and so anything extra would be great!

Thanks for your support and continue to check back often for the latest and greatest deals. I will also be posting gift cards and other items up for sale that Ben and I have received but cannot use at this time.

Happy Shopping!

Cheapest Gift You'll Ever Give

Thanks from a tip from my friend Bethany in Utah, I am the new proud owner of (5) of these babies and (5) 8" square brownie ones too (10 total)! If you don't mine purple Pyrex then you'll flip for this deal.

Shop World Kitchen has these on deal right now. Pyrex 9 x 13 Amethyst baking dish is currently on sale for $1.99 each! The matching Pyrex 8x8 Amethyst baking dish is ALSO $1.99 each!

PLUS if you use coupon code: A20502 then you too can get 20% off your entire order!

So if you are anything like me, a squirrel who finds deals, stocks up, and then uses them when the right moment comes then you'll want to take advantage. (or if you need some for you - then that works too). What a great wedding gift. Give the bride and groom one of each and you've just spent a whopping $3.98 on them and they'll never know! Happy Shopping!

Bath & Body Works

Are you addicted to Bath & Body Works? We are. (keep reading the good deal is at the end)

Once a year, for the past several years, I buy soap. Ben and I NEVER go to the mall so when we do, we stock up on our favorite hand soaps at Bath & Body Works. I generally wait for that dreaded trip to the mall until BBW is having a sale that is worthy of my cash.

Well after much waiting, it's finally come. I got an email today from BBW telling me that right now all hand soaps are 5 for $15 which makes them each $3. This is a rare sale as soaps are usually only on deal for 3 for $10 which makes them $3.33 each (and let's face it, that $0.33 is a deal breaker for me).

So after browsing on their website, I decided to check out my favorite online coupon website Retail Me Not to see if they were offering any coupons to make this an even sweeter deal (as I was really hoping to avoid going to the mall if I could)

And sure enough they were! If you purchase $10 or more of product online and use the coupon code 8760, you can get a FREE Signature Collection Body Care Item. ($12 or less).

BUT WAIT the deal gets even sweeter (if you like those kinds of things)

Right now, BBW is having a deal on their signature collection body care products!! Buy 2 get 1 free. If you combine that with this coupon 8760 it turns into buy ONE get TWO free!

So that's exactly what I did. (OK, I did it twice) I purchased 5 hand soaps (originally $25, sale for $15) and 3 body washes (originally $31.50, sale for $10.50) and paid $25 for $56 worth of products! (before shipping & tax).

So in a few days, I'll have 6 body washes, and 10 hand soaps showing up to my door and will be stocked with quality smelling goodness until their next superb deal comes along!

Happy Shopping!

Too Good NOT to Post About

Are you familiar with the Cosmetic Line E.L.F.? ELF stands for Eyes Lips Face and for all I know is only online. Seeing as how I don't really wear makeup, I've never shopped with them before but have been tempted MANY MANY times to snag a few items for stocking stuffers and Birthday/Christmas gifts over the past 2 years.

The main reason this company stands out and why a non-makeup wearer such as myself has been tempted is because most of their makeup sells for $1 each and from what I hear is good quality.

Well today, my temptation to purchase from them was turned into action. Not because I am now changing my lifestyle to include makeup but because they are offering a deal that I cannot pass up - and quite frankly, neither can you.

ELF right now has a deal that if you purchase $20 worth of anything on their website and use the coupon code DINE when you check out, you'll get a $25 gift card to Restaurants.com PLUS ONE Fandango Movie Ticket ($10 value).

So lets do the math here. I will get $20 worth of make-up, a $25 gift car and a $10 movie ticket (total of $55 worth of stuff) for $26.98 (shipping is $6.95). Seeing as how I do eat on occassion and how I do go to the movies about once a year (because the cost is outrageous!) I think I can handle this.

So what did I purchase? Mainly non-makeup items. I purchase a few travel mirrors, tweezers, lip glosses, nail polish remover pads (that don't require the bottle of solution) and some shine free papers all stuff that a non-makeup wearer such as myself might and will actually use. And I think I'll do it ONE more time and get a few things for a goodie basket at church.

OH and one of the cool things that they have on their website - which I've heard a few people say they wish they had is a DVD on how to apply makeup - you know the professional and correct way.

So if this deal sounds good to you go check them out. And if you want a little EXTRA bonus, purchase through Ebates and get 4% back on your entire purchase!

An Apology...

To my few readers out in the world, I've been missing for quite sometime and am afraid, I will continue to be sporadic. :(

I've currently been sucked back into the sewing world and though I am still doing my couponing, I've not had a heck of a lot of extra time to post about it. (especially the posts with pictures and breakdowns - it's just so time consuming). The upside is, that I'm continueing to develop other talents and learn new skills which are just as helpful as couponing.

I will though do my best to post about deals that I think are awesome and deals (like the stamps) that I've personally taken advantage of.

So stay tuned but don't be too expectant. Thanks for sticking with me and for all the wonderful tips you've given to me about deals!

Super Cheap Custom Stamps!!

Thanks to The Thrifty Mama for this tip!

Right now, Staples has an amazing deal which I just took advantage of - TWICE!

Staples is offering $20 off any custom stamp order of $20 or more! So what do we do in circumstances like this? We buy/customize the $20.99 stamp and get it for a whopping $0.99 (plus tax & shipping)

If this deal sounds like one you'd like to take advantage of use coupon code 47328. Click HERE for a direct link to all the stamps you can customize.

The stamp I used both times was $20.99 and if you want to use the same one, then follow this LINK.

After Shipping & tax my total came to $5.18 for each customized stamp.

Just think of the possibilities! You could have your address for outgoing mail, or what about your favorite scripture or quote turned into a stamp? Or it could be a gift for someone. The possibilities are limitless!

I'm not sure how long this deal is going on, but if your interested - check it out!
