OMG You're Crazy!

 It's been a few shopping trips since I posted last and as a result I kind of got lost.  So, I'm just going to show some of the highlights and things I am most thrilled about.

First up:
The two bottles of Crest ProRinse mouthwash.

Did I pay full price of $4.29 a bottle?
Of course not!  You don't know me by now?

Did I pay sale price of $3.29 a bottle?
Nope!  Did I mention a coupon yet?

Did I use a coupon and was there another offer included?
Yep!  With my coupon and ExtraCare bux I paid 23 cents a bottle!!

 This is one of my favorites *ever*.
Regular price $3.79
Did I pay
A) $3.79 each
B) Use five $1 coupons and pay $2.79 each
C) Use a CVS $3 off $10 cosmetics purchase coupon and pay $3.19 cents each
D) Couple the store BuyOneGetOne 50% off with five $3 off coupons and a $3 off $10 cosmetic purchase CVS coupon and pay 3 cents each including tax
Yeah, that'd be D.  Awesome, eh?

 Guess how much this entire transaction cost me.

4 - 16 oz Heinz Vinegar $1.14 each
4 - Almay Eye Makeup Remover $1.14 each
4 - Bayer LowDose Aspirin $2.22 each
1- Qtip $2.68

I used 12 coupons.
4 - $1 off any Almay product - $4
4 - $1 off any Heinz Vinegar - $4
4 - $3 off any Bayer = overage of $3.12 (it's allowed!)
- 10% discount

total = 51 cents!!

Here we have 1 Werther Original Caramels and 2 Haribo Gummy candies.
Werthers on sale for $1.39.  I used one Albie's coupon for 75 cents off and one manufacturer coupon for 25 cents.
The 25 cent coupon doubled.
I paid 14 cents.

Haribo were on sale for $1 each.
I had two 30 cent coupons which doubled.  I paid 40 cents each.

And this is my last night shopping after work.  For anyone about to ask questions.... the diapers are for an employee who is having a hard time.  I got them for $3 each after Qs and ExtraCare bux.
All Cereal Bars were $1 each.
I got lucky the other day and got 4 $3 off coupons for the Bird's Eye Voila dinners.  So each of those was 98 cents.
All of this only cost me about $25.

The nice thing is....
I am in a position now to where I can help someone if I need to.  When I found out this week about someone I work with having a hard time, I was able to take her food and toiletries this morning.  I even gave her an air freshener and some mascara because I had it to give.  It's nice to be able to help and I owe it all to coupons and the lovely ladies at krazycouponlady.com , cuckooforcoupondeals.com , wildforwags.com and wildforcvs.com .  Thank you ladies! <3

Til next time...

Patriotic Nails

When I last posted, I eluded to some potentially BIG NEWS.
And now, for those who don't read my Facebook updates, I will share said BIG NEWS as it has been confirmed.

In August, I will be leaving the 800 Zillion degree Yuma, Arizona heat for the REAL, LIVE GRASS in Milwaukee, Wisconsin!  I am beside my self with glee.  And trepidation.  But mostly glee.

I am so looking forward to being closer to my brother and snow and flowers and rain and snow and grass and trees and rain and thunderstorms and grass and ...

With my most favorite accessory, the Nintendo Wii steering wheel.

Ok, you get the picture.  I'll stop.

Seen in the top photo is some barrettes I have made of late.  I love the peacock one but it's kinda clunky on my head.

And to the right here you see a horrific photo of my first set of 4th of July nails.  I guess I deleted the decent pix I was going to post because I can't find them on the SD card.  And now my nails are naked.  So there ya go.

Til next time....
