A Quick Coupon Run = FREE Wheat Thins

I know I am crazy. Most couponers are. LoL

A friend that lives near me, posted on HCW

that she had seen some of the new HOT coupons

at a local store for Free Kraft items.

An that she had left a bunch there.

As I am reading the thread about where she had

seen the coupons. The phone rings, and it is dh.

He is done with his second job, and ready to be picked up.

I am so full of excitement about the coupons being near

by, almost within my grasp, I stumble over my words with

him on the phone.

I hang up with him, jolt out the door even leaving the tv on,

to drive 2 miles down the road to pick him up.

Telling him about the coupons, and asking him if he

knew where the store in question was located.

(After living here 2+ years, I still don't know that area very well)

We looked up directions, and out the door we went again.

I was so thrilled to see not 1, but 2 tear pads of coupons!!!!

I took a bunch, but still leaving plenty for others.

We went and cruised some aisles checking some

prices on a few items. Along our aisle cruising,

I spotted some more awsome peelies, tearpads,

and hangtags.

We ended up getting:

3 Boxes of Jello (A Kraft product)

1 Family Size of Wheat Thins

Used one of the FREE Wheat Thins coupons

wyb 3 kraft products, and also had a coupon for Jello

Spent: $ .20! oop

Off to bed, to dream of coupons

WAGS Dixie Deal - No Coupons Needed!

I read today about a deal at WAGS (Walgreens) on Why ASK Why
It is for Dixie paper plates and bowls. The best part, you don't need

any coupons to do this deal, except for what can be found in the store.

(The B1G1 Coupon is in the weekly flyer, which can be found in the store

And the $3 coupon prints out at the register. Rinse & Repeat)

I never normally shop at WAGs simple because they never have anything

in stock to do the deals. Plus I can't wrap my brain around all the deals there.

But here is the info on the deal: (Good until 6/21/08)

I bought the Dixie Ultra plates that are on sale with the in-ad Walgreen's coupon B1G1 for $3.79.

A coupon printed for $3 off the purchase of 2 Dixie Ultra products.

I went back and bought two more B1G1 for $3.79

minus the $3 coupon and got them for $0.79+tax.

I, again, got another coupon and went back and did the

same deal 4 more times, getting the same printed coupon every time.

It is being reported that the Dixie Blue and White Ultra plates

22 count and bowls 28 count are the items working for this deal.

Someone also bought the regular Dixie saucers and they worked too!!

(Thanks to WAW for the info)

Here is how it worked for me:

2 Dixie Plates @ $3.79
2 Maalox Chrewables @ $3.99

Used the in-ad B1G1 Coupon for the Dixie Plates
Used 1 $2 Instore Monthly Maalox Coupon

Used 2 $2 Sunday Paper Maalox Coupon

Spent: $4.04 after coupons

I got a coupon for $3 off the purchase of 2 Dixie Ultra products

Repeated the deal using the $3/2 coupon with the B1G1 store coupon and got two more packages of plates for $1.06 OOP!

Rinse & Repeat, Rinse & Repeat until you have what you want,
or the shelfs are empty. LoL

I got a total of 8 Packages of the 16in 22count plates

Since that is all they had left. But I plan on stopping

by a couple differant WAGs tomorrow and Saturday

to see if they have more in stock.

Total Spent: $7.22

On Sunday while at the flea market, I was walking by

one of the regular sellers booths.

An saw that he had large packs of sponges for $1

I REALLY needed sponges. An with us trying to be frugal

I haven't bought any because they are so costly.

(I prefer them for washing pots and pans, and scrubbing the sink)

Well I figured how bad could they really be right?

So I bought 1 package of them.

Opened them up today and used one for washing a sink full of dishes.

Nothing more, thats it. Oh my goodness, they are so bad I

don't even want to give them away to someone else to use.

Not even worth free!

I of course went looking to see what company they are from.

Then I realized why not only they were so cheap,

but also why they were such poor quality. Urgh!

I normally don't buy things made in China.

I should have known better.

You surelly do get what you pay for.

I found this cute little cartoon today.

Thought I would share.

Thankfully I have a wonderful husband, that

not only supports my coupon, deal hunting habit.

But also helps me shop, clip coupons, and hunt down deals.

Did some running around town today with dh.
Ran into a couple differant Targets that
we were going by, an picked up the following:

27 Bags of Target Chips today
6 25ct Ziploc Baggies

Total Spent: $1.30
Total Saved: $28.03


Also found some WONDERFUL coupons today at
Giant Eagle for FREE Kraft Products.
Hoping to trade some friends for some more
and use them with a great up coming sale!
