Some Great Steals And Deals From The Past Few Weeks

Dollar General has has summer toys on clearance for a few weeks now. I got a bunch of stuff that i didn't take pics of when the sale was 50% off. Then I got a few more things at 70% off. I picked up a few more at 90% off too. I love sales like this because I can pick up some random toys for Isabella. I often hide them and save them for a distraction. Some of them, especially the outdoor summer toys, come in very handy when we take the girls to the playground for afternoon playdates or when us Moms want to walk the track at the elementary school.

@ 70% off, I got everything in the pic below for $4+ I lost my receipt so I can't remember what the change was. Reatil would have been about $19.00

The chalk and garden sets were a great buy because they are things that can be used year round, inside and outside! Isabella loves to use small watering cans in the tub!


@ 90% off I got the 2 fishing pole sets and kite strings for $1.07 Retail would have been $10.60
She loves these fishing poles for the tub too! The kite string comes in handy for things around the house so for me, that's a great buy too.
Notice the bottom of the receipt, there is a survey and a $5 off a $25 purchase. I do these surveys almost everytime I get one and the $5 off coupons come in handy, especiall when matched with sales and coupons. Always check your receipts!!

All in all I got $20 worth of toys for less than $6!




Next up,Walgreens! Oh how I just love Walgreens. We were out of Ester-C, something that 3 of us in my house take daily. It's pretty expensive right off the shelf. I can usually always find a $1, $2 or $3 off coupon. Walgreens, CVS and Rite-Aid run regular sales on Ester-C @ B1G1, I always stock up as much as I can when it's on sale!
I had (2) $2off coupons (remember you can use 2 coupons on the B1G1 sale because each rings up separate. When I got to the store, the larger bottles of 1,000 mg had a coupon on the box for $3 off...NICE!!!
They sell 2 different kinds, a 90 count bottle of 1,000 mg @ $14.99 and a 104 count bottle of 500 mg for $10.99
So right off the bat, I could get 2 bottles of 1,000 mg for $14.99 making them $7.49 each. Match it with my $3off coupons and they become $4.49 each, that's already a savings of $10.48 per bottle! That's all well and good but it get's better. Walgreen's also had maxi pads and razors on sale, both of which are needed in this house. The pads were Walgreen's brand ultra thin maxi pads 18 count for $2 with $2 RR (register rewards) back. The razors were shcick hydro 3 or 5 started kit or 4 pack of hyro 3 or 5 cartridges. Both on sale for $8.49 with $4.50 RR back. I had coupons for the razor and cartridges, $2 off razor and $2 off cartridges.


DAY #1 I did 2 seperate transaction at the same time. I bought the maxi's and razor cartridges, it came to $9.20 and I got $6.50 RR back. a $2 RR and a $4.50 RR
Next I bought the Ester-C and coke. I had to purchase 2 more items with the Ester-C beacuse I was planning on using 4 coupons and Walgreens coupon policy is 1 coupon per item, so with 4 coupons, I needed 4 items. The RR's count as coupons. The coke was on sale 2 for $3. I could have bought a 10 cent filler item but we needed the coke, well, my husband needed it lol. So The total before sales and coupons would have been $33 and change. Take off $14.99 for the B1G1 Eater-C, $6.00 thanks to the (2) $3 off Ester-C coupons and the $6.50 in RR's which is a toatl of $27.50 off the $33 total. So I ended up paying $6.70!

So on day #1 I spent $15.90 out of pocket for $50 worth of stuff. Stuff that was NEEDED!


DAY #2
I bought a razor and the maxi pads again. $9.20 out of pocket, $6.50 RR back
They only had the $10.99 bottles of ester-c 500 mg so I had to get those. I had (2) $2 off coupons
I also bought Orbitz gum on sale (2) 3 packs for $5 and I had a $1off/(2) 3 pks. coupon.
I also bought a half gal of milk $2.49 and 2 halloween plastic cups for Isabella 13 cents each
I needed the milk and gum but I could have just bought the cups to give me 2 more items so I could use my 4 coupons again. The Total before sales and coupons would be $32. I only paid $8.94! That's a savings of $27!! I got a rain check for the big bottle of ester-c so I can get more when they have it back in stock...always get your rain checks!

So on day #2 I spent $18.16 for $43 worth of stuff!




DAY #3
I bought another pkg of maxi pads. $2 with $2 RR back and colgate sensitive toothpaste $4.99 with $3 RR back. I had a $1 off coupon for toothpaste. I paid $6.46 and got $5 RR back.
I didn't pay cash though. I got a walgreens gift card in the mail for $22 from a rebate I did a while back!

Day #4
I bought Theramax cold and flu nasal spray. $7.99 with $8 RR back, which makes it free! I also bought  a trial size of scotch reusable sticky tabs to hang stuff like posters for 10 cents and a pkg of balloons 100pk for 40 cents, both on clearance. I could have just bout the 10 cent tape just so I had 2 items so I could use 2 coupons but i wanted the balloons too! I used my $2 and my $3 RR. The total came to $3.98 (I used gift card) and I got $8 RR back. That's a $4 profit! Now if they get the ester-c back in stock soon, I will use the (2) $3 off coupons and my $8 RR which will be $14 off . If I buy 2 bottles and 2 cheap filler items, I can get it all, $30+ worth of stuff for less than $2. Did I meantion that I love Walgreens!

In less than 2 weeks, I bought about $141 worth of stuff for $50!!! Nice!
