I have been seeing a lot of Target Coupons on products in the cleaning/laundry aisle, so make sure to poke around. The cleaner is on sale for $2.99 less the $1 Target Coupon = $1.99 & less $1 from 03/01 or 04/05 SS = $0.99! I normally don't pay for cleaning products but since this is a "green" product I will throw a buck on it!

I am so proud of myself!!!

Hi readers - I changed my layout, I now have 3 columns where as before I only had 2. After having column envy for quite some time now I saw a blog today that had the same background as mine but she had 3 columns!! After a quick email to my new blogger pal she told me that she hired it done. Poo! So I goggled 3 columns & as you see I figured it out! I wrote my own HTML codes! I am just so impressed with myself! You can't see this but I am patting myself on the back and tooting my own horn all over my house at yes 3 AM. It did take some time but I did it & all by myself. As my nephew would say, "Google owns!" & I would have to agree! Pat - pat! Toot-toot!

So what do you think? Better? Let me know but let me know tomorrow I am sleepy! LOL!

** Don't forget to bring your own bags & remind the cashier to give you 5¢ back on each bag you bring in & use. This doesn't have to be the reusable bags it can be plastic bags from any store. I roll my used plastic bags then store them in empty tissue cubes. I keep a cube full of bags in my car so that if I forget my reusable bags I at least have these plus they are always handy when you have kids. When your plastic bags get holes don't forget to recycle them at Albies! **

Tom Thumb 04/21/09, $137.06 for +$11.30!!

I don't know why but for some reason I have really just not been into the new Living Well Feeling Great Promo (LW) but tonight "guilt" got me & "made" me go up there so they could pay me AGAIN to take stuff home! LOL! At the 1st TT I went to I asked the cashier if I needed to break the items up into (2) $30 groups in order to receive (2) of the $10 LW catalina, she said no I would get (2) $10 cat's back - I didn't so the manager issued me a $10 GC. Lesson to be learned, when you do this promo make sure & break your items up into $30 groups. This promo runs until May 5th so you have plenty of time to gather your coupons & hit the store! If you are wanting lots of a particular item make sure to ask your store manager to order extra for you, they will call you when they get it in so you get first dibs!

Here is what I got tonight at Tom Thumb in 2 transactions but it really should have been 3:

(16) Ozarka Water Bottles, 6-pk @ $1.99 each = $31.84

CVS Update

Yesterday I saw this deal from Stephanie at Couponing 101 and when I went in today to get an issue with my Sunday trip straightened out I checked it out and she was sooo right!

Here is the deal, the Dove SkinVitalizers are on clearance for $4.00 which is such a deal since these are normally around $13 but here is how to make it sweeter:
Use <$3.50> 03/15 RP or here = $0.50
Plus I got a CRT today for <$2.50> on any Dove Face Care Product, if you have this you would make $2.00 for buying this!!! See I told you - sweet!

To check and see if your card was "blessed" with this CRT, scan your Extra Care Card under the Price Scanner which should have a big sign saying Price Checker/Scanner hanging from the ceiling over it. Once you scan your card if there are coupons available on your card they will print out on the side of the machine.

Happy Couponing!

Issues, kinks and total frustration

After working up my posts for Walgreens today some how my blog was selected to be reviewed by Blogger so I was unable to post it or even save it. By the time I realized it I was unable to copy and paste it into Word - there is the total frustration I was talking about. I was able to post CVS and my trip since I started those before the kink but for whatever reason they didn't show up in my Reading List for hours and hours after I posted it. It is now 2:30 AM and it looks like they reviewed my blog and have lifted the block - YEA!!! I will type Walgreens up again in the afternoon and post. Hang in there with me....
