Little extras

Sign up for a FREE mini Mr Clean Mini Eraser. Register at teh site and you will get the sample in the mail. I love these, but they get used up faster than I think they are worth. Just my opinion. Then again it is a FREE SAMPLE

The holidays are coming so this means extra baking for a lot of us. There is a great coupon available, especially if we can combine it with a baking sale.
$1.50/1 Nestle Toll House Morsels
Once you sign up, there is a banner at the bottom of the page to click on for the coupon. It is very obvious :) You should be able to print two from each computer.

ESPECIALLY for STEPHANIE M... A WW deal!

There is a promotion going on right now. You need to register if you buy WeightWatchers items.

Sign up then you can send in your proof of purchases, usually the UPC code to get credited for the prizes.

Once you register they send you an email and you have to click that link to get yourself set up. At the site they have a list of the eligible products and the points they are worth plus the gifts and such you can get. You have to send in the upcs (no reciepts - yea!!!) - you can send reciepts only for the yogurt as you don't have to cut the upcs off of those. Once you send the upcs with the claim form personalized at the site, they will load your points and you can order your items! God... I PRAY this works.. a little prayer saves more than my heart!

Let me know if there are questions.

Along with the Malt O Meal cereal deal this week, Albertson’s also has Glen Muir Organic tomatoes on sale for $1 for the 15 oz can. You can get $1 off coupons at this site GLEN MUIR

You can print as many as you want, but you might be disappointed when you go to the store. My Albertson’s only had a small section allotted for this brand and it was pretty much all gone. I was able to get less than 10 cans. I did have the grocery manager special order 24 cans of the fire roasted tomatoes and another 24 cans of tomatoes with basil. Other kinds of Muir Glen available include the tomato sauce and regular diced.
If the store does not have what you want in stock, remember they can order it for you, but remember to get a rain check so you can still get the sale price. Just a word of caution… Albertson’s rain checks are now only good for 30 days. If the store does not have your item restocked by the end of the 30 days, you can have the rain check reissued for another 30 days. This is a pain, so if you do not think they will have the number items you want, it is best to have the grocery manager special order them for you.

Powerade 32 oz is on sale this week for $.69. This alone is a great deal if people at your house drink this, but there is a Catalina deal going on right now. If you buy 6 Powerade Zero you will get a Catalina for $4. This makes them $.14 for 6 bottles! You can then use the $4 catalina to buy another 6 and so on and so on!

Target has school supplies on clearance for 75% off. There are some great deals going on. I was able to get a 5 pack of 70 page notebooks for $.12! The Papermate 10 packs of pens, blue, black or red are marked down to $.12 as well. Backpacks are included in the sale as well. Most are marked between $3 and $8. The Dollar spot in Target is having 75% clearance on the BLUE dot items. Green dots are still $1. I was able to get scissors, notepads, socks, 2 pack gift bags and other items for $.25.

The Vegas Adventure!

OK… We did our big Walgreen’s trip to Vegas on Saturday. It was AMAZING! It was Lydia, Nancy, Christine, Paula and me as we headed out on the adventure. And what an adventure it turned out to be. We left St George about 10 am and didn’t get back until 2:00 am Sunday. To be honest, I am not sure how many Walgreen’s we went to in Vegas… maybe 4 or 5? But there were A LOT of products to be purchased by 5 crazy coupon women. It was a shopping frenzy. Of course going with three pregnant women did allow for food breaks and we did that big time as well! We did a whole group test run in Mesquite. We could not say anything but good about the manager and cashiers we had there. Since it was the first store for the group we did run into a few glitches like which cold medicine produced the catalinas and why some coupons were difficult to scan…. (sorry, Mesquite for using the Canadian coupons!) but overall, everyone was catching on and we had a great first haul. None of us should be having to pay full price on cleaning products or cold medicine for a VERY LONG time!



Once we got to Las Vegas it was time to eat again. We had on a previous adventure wanted to try out an Indian restraint downtown, but the gps had gotten us lost so this time I knew where to go. If you ever want to go to an Indian buffet this is the place: Gandhi India’s Cuisine on Paradise. We wished we could have stayed there longer, but there was shopping to be done! We shopped til we dropped stopping only long enough for drinks and snacks we brought from home until 10 PM when we had to finally take another food break. This time it was The Pizza Caffe on Eastern. What great food they had. Definitely a place to put on your list of places to go. It had terrific food, great décor and a cute older Italian man who served us pizza and gelato. We planned to hit one more Walgreen’s on the way back home, but by the time we were ready to stop, some of the ladies were asleep and it was after midnight so the sale was over. I do not know the totals for the rest of the girls, but this is what I came home with:

10 Crest Pro Health mouthwash
15 Fantastik spray cleaner
12 Windex spray
2 Windex Wipes
4 Shout spray
6 Shout wipes
25 Tylenol cold/sinus medicines

4 Tylenol PM
8 Oreos
10 Glade oil warmers with oil
8 Glade oil refills
14 Oust
21 Pledge
4 Scrubbing Bubbles spray
3 Scrubbing Bubbles wipes
7 Glade odor eliminator spray (like Fabreeze)
9 Robitussin
3 Quattro razors
2 Quattro razor refills
2 calculators
40 Sharpie markers
2 boxes of 25 tagalong storage containers
2 boxes Walgreens storage containers
1 training pants
1 laundry detergent
4 post it cubes
TOTAL of 219 items!
Price….. $38.xx

Oh… did I mention that total was what I came out ahead??? THEY PAID ME $38 to take home all that stuff!!!!

Needless to say, I can’t wait for another sale like that! It was a fun time and my cabinets are full!

Malt O Meal coupons link #3

Malt O Meal coupons link #4

Malt O Meal coupons link #5

Instead of the $5 off you can get free products like 5 free coke 2L or 1 laundry detergent, etc... but I think the totally FREE cereal is a better deal.

PSSST!

There is a new site you can join which is hosted by General Mills. You can fill out an application to participate in surveys about new products and they will send you products to try and coupons to use or give out. It sounds like fun. I just signed up.

PSSST!

If you are accepted, you will find out right away and they will be sending you more information in a couple week. Some people have already started getting products to try.

I am working on my post about the Las Vegas Walgreen's trip. We had a GREAT time, saved a lot of money, have great stockpiles and tried some wonderful restraunts. Hopefully I will have the post and pictures up soon.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!
