One last Black Friday post about Walgreens!


 I decided to drag myself to Walgreens one last time today to get a few more things. The sale ends today, so make sure you get there soon if you need anything you see below. I just now realized that Walgreens doesn't give you a limit on the sale items with RR, unlike CVS and Rite Aid. But if you try to use your RR from something like a certain shampoo and then you turn around to use it on the exact same shampoo you will not get RR back. It will take the RR from the previous transaction, but you will not get another one. Do you get what I am saying? Just try to use your RR on a different item each time so they keep rolling. I lost about $2.00 in RR today trying to figure this out, but I am ok with that because now I know how everything seems to work... Until they change the policy again. hehe... I never shop this much except for Black Friday week. I really get into it and then the rest of the year I dabble here and there whenever I need to go out for groceries or dog food. So the shopping posts should definitely slow down a bit, but no worries I have lots of great posts coming your way!
 I really am not a couponaholic. Ya don't believe me, do ya?

Here's what I got...


Got2B Oilicous conditioner $4.99, get $4.99 RR = essentially FREE!

Herbal Essences Long Term Relationship shampoo $2.99, get $2.99 RR = essentially FREE!
* I did not get this RR back because I used a $3.00 RR from P&G which is the owner of Herbal Essences, so in order for me to have gotten a RR I would have had to use it on a non P&G product. 

Walgreens Ultra Thin Pads $1.99, get $1.99 RR = essentially FREE!

4 Bath Tissues 2/$0.88 = $1.76

Total before RR and coupons = $12.43
Use $2.00 off any $10.00 purchase at Walgreens *This printed out yesterday after one of my transactions*
Use $9.00 RR = $1.31 
 Get $7.00 RR

In the end I did lose $2.00 in RR but I am ok with that. There is not much going on next week, so I'd rather get as much of these great deals this week as possible.

Don't forget all the drugstore sales end tonight!

Pre- Black Friday: Rite Aid and CVS haul 11/28/13

Well...I'm guilty of running into Rite Aid and CVS on Thanksgiving. Don't worry the boyfriend was still sleeping, so me and Eva decided to take a ride and see what great deals we could find! Can I just mention how awesome my 2 year old is? She has been great these past few days of shopping, she says "Hi" to everyone and even blows kisses to complete strangers... Am I in trouble? Flirt much? Well, I can't blame her for the boy at Rite Aid... he was pretty cute. (;

 Here's what we found...

Rite Aid


6 Rite Aid Loofahs $0.39 each = $2.34

2 Nivea for Men Shave Gels 2/$3.00
Use $2/2 Nivea for Men Shave Gels (exp.11/30/13) = 2/$1.00 or $0.50 each! 

Tena Pads $3.99, get $3.00 +UPS = essentially $0.99
Use  $2/1 Tena Product (exp.12/31/13) = $1.00 money maker!

Kiss Nail Dress $5.00, get $5.00 +UPS = essentially FREE!

Total: $10.94
Use $10.00 +UPS =$0.94
Get $8.00 +UPS


CVS


Basic Paper Towels buy 1 get 2 free = $1.09

CVS Alkaline AA Batteries $4.39, get $4.39 = essentially FREE!

Total : $1.39
Use $1.00 ECB = $0.39 
Get back $4.39 ECB's 

I hope your having a blast shopping!

Black Friday Walgreens Haul!

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope you had a wonderful time with your loved ones! I kind of suck at shopping at Walgreens. For some reason I always leave CVS and Rite Aid without spending more than a dollar or two, but Walgreens always gets at least $5.00 out of me somehow. I obviously need to figure out what I am doing wrong so I can save even more money. I didn't have any Register Rewards going into this transaction, but I did have some Balance Rewards on my card. Balance rewards are points you get over time for certain purchases and you can use them like cash. 

Here's what I got at Walgreens...



Transaction #1

Pssst! Instant Dry Shampoo $4.99, get $4.99 RR = essentially FREE!

Vidal Sassoon Moisture Conditioner on clearance for $2.49
Use Peelie coupon attached, $2 off any Vidal Sassoon Styling Product exp. 12-31-13
= $0.49

Total: $5.98
Use $5.00 Balance Rewards credit = $0.98 
Get $4.99 RR 

Transaction #2

Walgreens Maxi Pads $1.99, get $1.99 RR = essentially FREE!

2 Scunci Hair Elastics 2/$3.00, get $3.00 RR = essentially FREE! 

Total: $5.29 
Use $5.00 RR = $0.29
Get $5.00 RR 

Transaction #3

Got2B Oilicous Shampoo $4.99, get $4.99 RR = essentially FREE!

Blistex Nurture and Nourish Chapstick $2.00, get $2.00 RR = essentially FREE!

Total: $7.41
Use $3.00 Balance Rewards credit
Use $2.00 RR = $2.41 
Get $6.99 RR

Transaction #4

Crest 3D White Toothpaste $3.00, get $3.00 RR = essentially FREE!

Herbal Essence Mousse $2.99, get $2.99 RR = essentially FREE!

4 Sunny Smiles Toilet Paper Rolls 2/$0.88 = $1.76

Total: $8.21
Use $7.00 RR = $1.31 
Get $5.00 RR 

I would have spent $26.72 without rolling my RR and using my Balance Rewards. I spent a total of $5.90 and I left the store with $9.00 RR to use on my next transaction. Essentially I made $3.10 in Register Rewards to go shopping today! Not too bad!

Yay for Black Friday! Have you been shopping today? I'd love to hear what goodies you found in the comments below!

Rite Aid Black Friday Haul!

It's Black Friday!!! Wooo hoooo! I didn't go out last night or this morning like all the crazies... hint hint to my sister and mom! I actually really did want to go but we are sticking to a tight budget this year, and I decided not to set myself up for failure. That's why I am sticking with the drugstores. I just keep rolling my rewards and then all I end up paying at most is a buck or two plus tax. I know you definitely can't get everything you need from the drugstore but I am picking up everything I can give as a gift or anything my family may need. I'm sure Amazon will be getting a nice chunk of change from me at some point between now and Christmas, but you know me... I'll find some way to make a deal! Anyways let's get onto what I scored at Rite Aid today!

Here's what I got...



2 Hot Wheels Cars 2/$2.00, get $1.00 +UPS = essentially 2/$1.00

Rite Aid Invisible Tape 2/$1.50, get $1.50 +UPS = essentially FREE!

Carmex 3/$3.00, get $3.00 +UPS = essentially FREE!

2 Scunci Hair Elastics $1.99 each, get $1.99 +UPS = essentially FREE!

Palmolive Dish Soap $0.97
Use $0.25 off any Palmolive soap 10 oz. or larger (exp.11/30/13)
= $0.72

Philips Head Phones $7.99, get $7.99 +UPS = essentially FREE!


Total: $20.36
I used $19.00 +UPS
Paid: $1.36 out of pocket
Got back $17.50 +UPS to use on my next transaction! 

Rite Aid has definitely been my favorite drugstore to shop at this week. They have had some amazing deals, and the sale ends tomorrow. So if you are interested in anything I've shown you over the past week make sure you get there asap!

Happy Black Friday shopping!

Jackie

Great makeup clearance & coupon matchups at RiteAid!

I'm just hopping on here for a few minutes to let you guys know about the amazing makeup clearance that's going on at RiteAid. I ran into RiteAid today to get a new rewards card because my old one seemed to run away, and I'm trying to be extra prepared for Black Friday! Maybe Daniel "misplaced" it hoping I'd stop being such a couponaholic, but no such luck buddy! I had no intention of buying anything today, but of course I had to walk to those beautiful endcaps located at the back of the store where all the wonderful clearance lives! I'm sure glad I did! There were rows and rows of makeup on HUGE clearance. Were talking up to 80% off and you know me, the crazy lady with all the coupons. I was thrilled because I'm on my never ending hunt for Christmas presents and I hit the mother load today, I just wish I had more coupons! :) 

Here's what I got...


Revlon Brow Fantasy on clearance for $1.90 (originally $7.50)
Use $1/1 Revlon Color cosmetic item (exp. 12/31/13) = $0.90!

2 Loreal Paris Project Runway Blushes on clearance for $2.45 (originally $9.95)
Use 2 $2/1 Loreal cosmetics face product (exp.1/14/14) = $0.45 each! 

2 Loreal Nail Polishes on clearance for $1.25 (originally $4.99) 
Use 2 $1/1 Loreal Color Riche Nail Polish (exp.1/14/14) = $0.25 each! 

How awesome are those prices? See Christmas doesn't always have to be super expensive if you use coupons and wait for awesome sales and clearances! Can you tell I'm a bit excited? Now I just have to convince myself that I will NOT keep all this snazzy makeup. Hello, my name is Jackie and I'm a makeup hoarder. 

My total before clearance would have been $37.38 + tax, after clearance the total came down to $9.30 + tax which is still a great price, but after coupons my total came down to $2.30 + tax. I just have to say it, Coupons... I kinda freaking love you. :) 

I bet you wanna go to RiteAid now, huh?

CVS best deals from 11/24-11/27 and Black Friday 11/28-11/30!

Here are the best deals I found for the upcoming sales at CVS next week. This year the week is being broken up into two different sales, the first being 11/24-11/27 and the later being for Black Friday 11/28-11/30. Please keep in mind that I am only listing the deals that stick out to me and my families needs. I highly suggest you still check out the ads because you most likely will find something you are interested in that I may have skipped over. ***Make sure you have a CVS card before these sales start so that you can get in on all these great deals! A CVS card is completely free!***


11/24-11/27
Click here for 11/24-11/27 CVS ad
Free after ECB's 
There are two whole ad pages of free items after ECB's so make sure you look through the ad and see if there is anything you need! I am skipping over a lot of those items because we just don't need them. These all have a limit of 1 per household.

Product's we've used up and reviews!

 It's that time again! I'm basically talking about my families garbage... but it's not as gross as it sounds, I promise! I've been collecting my family's used up products for the past few weeks so I could let you know if they are worth spending your money on.

Makeup

Almay oil free gentle eye makeup remover pads 
These were great! I got these for free and if I can get them for free again I will definitely pick them up. They are not a staple item for me because I can just use coconut oil or olive oil to remove stubborn eye makeup. But these are much tidier and don't sting my eyes like a lot of other eye makeup removers.

Physicians Formula happy booster glow and mood boosting powder
First of all this was only halfway used up, but little miss Eva B decided to play with it and she accidentally shattered it. I'm not complaining. I hate wasting things but this powder was really crappy. I have normal skin and this had sparkles all over it so it made my skin look shiny, which is kind of the opposite reason I apply a powder. I do not recommend this to anyone, and if you have oily skin stay far away from this bad boy.


Bath and Body Products
  

 Garnier Fructis sleek and shine moroccan sleek oil treatment
I love argan oils and I really liked this one. It was super affordable, smelled delicious, and made my hair look really nice. I would just apply this right after the shower and it would make my curls look defined and less frizzy without being crunchy. 

Aveda damage remedy intensive restructuring treatment
Have you ever sniffed an Aveda product before? They are the best smelling things in this world, but they are so stinking pricey. The only reason I got to try this is because my awesome hairdresser gave this to me for free! Did I mention how awesome he is? I had a love-hate relationship with this though. It definitely made my hair feel and look stronger and healthier, but it did not detangle whatsoever. I liked it but detangling is a requirement for a deep conditioner in my book.

Lady Speed stick fresh infusions deodorant sparkling lime coconut
I am trying to use more natural deodorants but when I can get it for free I'll use the bad stuff. I know that's not good, but we are on a very strict budget ever since I became a stay at home mommy. I don't really need to talk about deodorant but this stuff smells ah-freakin-mazing! It smells like sun tan lotion, coconuts, and the beach and if you don't care about natural deodorants you should pick this one up. 

Venus Embrace razor
I won this in a giveaway and this razor is awesome but the refills are way too expensive! Hopefully I get some more for free, cuz this girl is too cheap. 

Schick Hydro 5 razor
I also got this for free from a sample site and it's a great razor as well but still way to expensive for me.


 Baby Products

Johnson's head-to-toe baby wash
Your crazy if you think I use this on my kid. When she was a newborn I did because I was not educated on all the terrible chemicals they put in this crap. This stuff has a form of formaldehyde in it, and there is no way I'm using it on Eva ever again. I ended up using this to clean my makeup brushes and it worked fine. But I will never purchase this again.

Johnson's natural head-to-toe foaming baby wash
We had to buy this when we went on vacation and lost Eva's regular soap in the car somehow. This works fine and the ingredients are a lot healthier than the regular Johnson's baby wash but I prefer Dr. Bronner's magic soap.


 Household Products

PartyLite nature's light white oak and sandalwood candle
This is easily my favorite candle of all time. This was a gift from my mom, and it smells so so soooo good. I really wish I could say I would repurchase this but it costs around $25. You guys know that just isn't gunna happen. I rationed this off for about two years, and this candle will make your whole entire house smell fantastic. If that price point doesn't make you flinch, go buy this candle and thank me later.

Holiday Memories mint truffle soy candle
These are sold a Kohl's and I love the fact that they are soy based, which means they are a healthier alternative to regular candles. This was really nice in the beginning but after a while the candle just started to smell like burnt chocolate, which is not my favorite scent. I have had this brand of candle in a vanilla cupcake scent and I loved it, so I think this was just a bad scent. 

Febreze lavender vanilla and comfort air freshener
This lasted me a good 3 plus years. It actually smells really great but I hate spraying chemicals in the air around my pets and toddler. I only used this when one of my fur-babies had an accident or the house smelled a bit strange. I have a few more air fresheners to use up but after that I will not be purchasing them anymore.

Seventh Generation natural laundry stain remover
I really had high hopes for this natural stain remover but it really wasn't that great. It kinda worked on some stains and on others it did nothing. If anyone has any recommendations for a more natural laundry stain remover that actually works please let me know! 


What product's did you guys use up recently?
