Gap city flats $11

2011-02-05T21:02:00.000-08:00

I have had my eye on these gap city flats but new since they were at the gap they'd go on sale. Today they were marked down to $19.99 and all shoes were 40% off so they were $11. That's almost 75% off. I love as much as my toms they are so comfy and cute. You better run over and snag a few pairs the sale is only in stores.

This is the online description of them. Incredibly modern, for the girl on-the-go, our new city flat is made of soft pliable leather and has an elasticized opening, so it fits like a glove and is ridiculously comfortable. Plus, it comes with an adorable drawstring bag.

Safeway

2010-04-26T14:48:00.000-07:00

I've gotten into the habit of checking the clearance section in the meat department at Safeway for deal on meat. They usually have an extra 30% off sticker on fresh meat sometimes they have a reduced sticker price. I haven't bought a whole lot from the clearance section but today I found some stew meat that was on sale plus an extra 30% off I would have paid $9.92 for both regular price but I paid $5.40 for both I paid about $2.5 lb
Another deal I saw that wasn't advertised was Lunchable sub sandwiches (just the sandwich) for $1.99 but you got a $1 catalina off of your next purchase making them .99.
The Kraft Cheese is also on a save $5 wyb 5 sale mix and match. The shredded and slice cheese was $1.99. I went ahead and bought the 5 because hubby needed sliced cheese for his sandwiches but I didn't have any coupons. still $2 is much better than $3.49

Food stockpile

2010-04-14T22:36:00.000-07:00

I stayed up all night Sunday night and cleaned out the kids playroom closet to make room for are food so it wasn't all over the house. This is the canned food in the closet. I have another shelf just like that one next to it with toys and #10 cans. This is our pantry.

Top shelves. I have 45 boxes of cereal.

Bottom shelves.

I made the room and am already for my shelf reliance. I just have a little more saving and convincing to do to get it. Yeah for making more room for stockpiling.

Under the kitchen sink stash

2010-04-14T22:31:00.000-07:00

Here it is under my kitchen sink stash.

Laundry Room Stash

2010-04-14T22:26:00.000-07:00

Here it is my laundry room stash.

Where is your food hiding

2010-04-13T16:07:00.000-07:00

Well, Kelly probably has her Shelf Reliance by now : ) or maybe tomorrow? I'm so jealous!! No really I hope she gets it for her birthday and I'm excited for her. You gotta post pictures so we can all drool over how nice it must be to have all our canned goods organized and in one place.

Anyways since I don't have my Shelf Reliance yet I have to stash food all around my house.

I have pasta under my bed, canned goods and condiments in my laundry room.

#10 food storage cans in my sons bedroom closet and some more food where it should be in normal kitchen cupboards.

Stock pile

2010-04-08T16:52:00.000-07:00

I love this question. I am so not a fan of stuff in fact if you get my kids something for holidays I am quick to throw it out and even buy the same thing twice. I am also freaked out with food and stuff in the garage so that is not an option for my stockpile. Funny as I work in the garage. Here is my bathroom stockpile my other cabinet has the t.p. Let me tell you your cabinets are bigger than you think they are I never thought I'd have the room and here is over ten things of baby wash, toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes, razors, shampoo, conditioner and other things Listerine, hair products, band aids, tissue, neosporin, chap stick and so on it's amazing what fits. The best thing about having so much stuff is when you have a friend in need and you can go through your cupboards and give them food, cleaning supplies, toiletries. It's so awesome. I am soooooo dreaming of shelf reliance.

Stash of Stuff installment 1

2010-04-07T22:54:00.000-07:00

I was talking to my sister-in-law Olivia about couponing (she's just getting started) I told her I would post some pictures of my stash (or stashes in my case) I have stuff stashed everywhere in my house. Anywhere I can think of I stash stuff. In my son's closet is where all of my dry pack #10 cans are. The cupboards above my dryer my laundry room is my new pantry along with my hall closet, my bathroom and of course my kitchen cupboards and even under my bed is a plastic storage container with boxes of pasta. I'm dreaming of a Shelf Reliance can rotation system. If you have one don't even tell me because I would be too jealous. (unless you don't want yours anymore and you want to give it to me!!)

I thought I would focus on my stash of toiletries. Probably because it is the most together. All of my other stashes are split up and in one of the various locations.

Here is a picture of my vanity cupboards in the bathroom.

On the top left is just a basket of hair brushes and stuff we are currently using, middle top basket is overflowing with men's and women's deodorant, top right basket has hair styling products and I think a couple bottles of conditioner.

Bottom left is overflowing with body wash I think I have at least 8 bottles, middle is shampoo and right has lotion and face wash and stuff like that. And most all of this stuff was free or super cheap meaning less that a dollar but mostly free.

an up close shot of the shampoo basket.

At the sink I have three cupboards (for some reason in my small house in our one bathroom we have pretty decent storage) in the one on the right the top shelf has toilet paper (not pictured), and the bottom pictured has a basket of toothpaste and a basket of regular bar soap.

This one on the left has a hodge podge of stuff , some extra shaving cream, (in the top drawer is where I keep all of the nail polish and spa stuff) On the bottom shelf is where the liquid hand soap is and on top of that I have several razors, and in the drawer is toothbrushes and some more razors.

OK well that's the bathroom. Stay keep watching for another view of my stashes.

And share your stash with us.

Physicians Formula make up bogo coupon on Facebook

2010-03-23T12:32:00.000-07:00

Become a fan of Physicians Formula on Facebook and under the instant reward tab you can register and print twice( by browsing back) a coupon for buy one get one free Physicians Formula make up at Target is what the coupon says but it also says it's a mfg coupon (I'm suspecting you can use it anywhere they just have some give away with Target I didn't want the hassle so I just used it at Target, but if you're interested Kmart has a 40% off sale on Physicians Formula make up but my local Kmart only had the mascara and I was looking for the eye shadow.) Anyways, I bought the eyeshadow and blush cause I was looking for that specifically but at Target these particular powders were $3 regular $11.99 and I used a bogo coupon so I got both for $3. I paid $10.69 for the other two-nothing exciting there. Note: if you go ahead and get 4 products like this ring them up in separate transactions ( with 1. the 2 $3 items and 2. the 2 $10 items) otherwise they will give you the 2 $3 ones for free and you will spend $20 oop.

Toy Story 1 & 2 on Blu Ray $16.95 for both plus 2 free movie tickets

2010-03-23T11:54:00.000-07:00

In my research I found that Toys R Us has the best deal for Toy Story 1&2 on Blu Ray. It takes some action on your part to get this deal, but it worked for me today!

1. you need to go to http://disneymovierewards.com/

2. enter the upc code from your old Toy Story & TS2 vhs or dvd (in the same place you would enter your disney movie rewards codes)

3. a banner will be on your screen to print the coupon, click on this link and print coupon.

4. Toys R Us has a deal that when you buy both Toy Story and Toy Story 2 you get them for 16.99 each when you purchase in the same transaction. Use both $10 coupons and you pay $16.95 out of pocket.

5. Take them home and open them up and you will find an insert with the disney movie rewards code on it. When you type in your code it will give you your 125 rewards points for the movie and a code will be there to print you ticket along with a link for the location to print the ticket. Click on the link to enter you code. You will select the theatre you are watching the movie at and then you can print you voucher. It is a pdf document that has a specific code even though you can print it more that once it will only be valid one time.

CVS Deals/Moneymaker

2010-03-04T14:01:00.000-08:00

paid $5 out of pocket for everything and got back $7 worth of ecb and a $5 off 25 coupon. I will also get back $8.99 on the razor (using the try it free coupon from the bee) I have to buy another toothpaste to get the other $2 ecb i was expecting today. Also I messed up on the Irish spring Softsoap deal it was an either or thing not both.

All of this cost $42.64 got it for $5 bucks with the ecb and rebate this will be at least a $16 money maker ( I say at least because I'm not sure if Shick will pay 11.99 or 8.99 rebate).

I paid with $13 worth of ecb and also used a $5/25 coupon and $9.25 worth of mfg coupons from the newspaper.

The coupons were $3/1 Shick Razor, .75/1 colgate toothpaste (printable), $2.50 off wyb 2 cover girl make up, b1g1 free covergirl make up

Got all of this for $7.31

2010-03-04T13:43:00.000-08:00

Ok I lied I wasn't going to get anymore Prego from Safeway, but they extended their $1.50 deal so I went today.

Sargento Cheddar Cheese $1.49 ea wyb 2 had a .50/1 coupon left from last time

The chicken breast was on sale for 5.96 and there is a printable for $1/1 on the Safeway website picked that up for $4.96

Yoplait gogurt was 2/$4 I used a $1/2 coupon plus I had an .80/2 ecoupon on my safeway club card

Red apples were .59 lb paid 2.96

broccoli crowns were .79 lb paid .71

That adds up to more than $7.31 you say. Yes it does but I also used my $10 p&g cat that I got last time and also a $1 off cat from kellogg's cereal.

All of this would have cost me $52.36

February budget

2010-02-26T13:39:00.000-08:00

Once again I was able to stay in my budget of $300 for February. I came in at 292.57. The shelf cost for my purchases totaled $602.19 I spent 51.42% less than I would have paying full price. I'm still really happy with the fact that for a family of 5 I only spent $292 on groceries and all of the toiletries, cleaners, and make up as well. I use the grocer savings tracker excel spreadsheet. Use the link below.

2010-02-26T12:10:00.001-08:00

A suprise deal I found today was the Lunchable Sub without water was on clearance for .99 I used a .75/1 coupon printable from coupons.com to score these for .24. Meghan and I had them for lunch today.

I got my prego for .50 the catalina ended on the 24th so I didn't get them for less than that. I am super excited though.

Also the milk was 2.50 wyb 2 which is better than the milk price has been lately. Even if you don't get the catalina this is still a great deal getting the cereal for free. Your gonna buy milk anyways right?

Power Bar Energy Gel blasts Free plus ecb at CVS

2010-02-24T11:19:00.001-08:00

My hubby Bill uses energy gels and stuff for running. I read about this unadvertised deal from dealseekingmom.com There wasn't even a tag advertising this deal at my store. Anyways I bought 2 of these @ $1.5 and used 2 $1/1 coupons and then paid with a $1 extra care buck so I paid nothing out of pocket and got a $1.50 ecb for my next purchase.

I want to also give a shout out to Joyce at the CVS on Folsom and 51st. She is at the photo counter. She is the best employee that I've worked with in a long time at any store. She knows where everything is. She asked me last time if I found everything I wanted (all the good deals) which I was pleasantly surprised that I actually did find everything I wanted in stock. That is why I knew I could count on her with a problem I had. I accidentally threw away a receipt with $13 worth of Extra Care Bucks on it. I went in to ask if there was a way to get them back. She called the 800 number to ask and their computer systems were down. She called up a supervisor (manager was out) and he couldn't think of anything. She thought that they could do up to $5 with manager approval, but not the full $13. Anyways I left that day to call the 800 number later and when I left she said if I didn't get any help to come back and they would see what they could do there in the store. The customer service number said there wasn't anything they could do to give me the ecb back. So I printed my ecb balance from the cvs website and took that into the store today and went right to Joyce and she said that the manager was there today and she called him up and he was able to print out my $13 worth of ecb!!! I made sure to compliment Joyce in front of her manager. She was such a great help!! It is hard to find people who are willing to help.

Wal Mart Clearance

2010-02-24T11:03:00.001-08:00

This coupon specifies the green earth variety, but my local store didn't have that one and I was still able to use the coupon no problem. You can print the coupon three times. (I was able to print more today)

I got my All detergent but it was the worst experience ever

2010-01-23T13:14:00.001-08:00

As you may know I purchased coupons on eBay for All laundry detergent. It was a $2/1 coupon for All detergent 32 oz or larger. I got them in the mail on Friday to use at Target or Wal Mart. I was price matching at one of those locations with a Big Lots ad good for this week only they had the All detergent 2/$5. Using the coupon would make the .50 ea (not including the tax). The Big Lots Ad advertises All 2x, 50 oz., and 3x, 32 oz.

My plan was to go to Target thinking that I would receive better service over Wal Mart-that was where it all began. I left the house between 8:30 and 9:00 this morning. I went over to the Target closest to me and asked how to do a price match. I had to go purchase the items and then take them to the customer service counter with my coupons and they would do the price adjustment there. I bought the All detergent 3x- 32 oz. It says All small and mighty 3x concentrate 32 oz. on the bottle. The total was $103 and some change. I take them over to customer service and when I hand the girl behind the counter she informs me that I can only use one coupon per purchase (she thinks this means one coupon per transaction which any couponer could tell you otherwise) I inform her that is not the case and she says yes it is and leaves to go get a "manager". The manager comes back and says that I didn't purchase the right product and that the coupon can be used only one at a time (which is so crazy because I buy the same item all the time and have coupons for each one of the items all of the time, I'm telling you this lady couldn't manage going to the bathroom by herself) Because the picture of the 3x concentrate wasn't pictured only the 2x concentrate was pictures she said I could only get that. She kept emphasizing that the product I was getting said small and mighty and that wasn't in the sale. I thought ok maybe I was in the wrong there and was going to go and look but then she informs me that I the sale is 2/$5 and that I had to buy 2 to get the 2/$5 price (basically telling me that I couldn't do what I wanted because I couldn't use 2 coupons per transaction I could only use 1) By this point I see I'm not getting anywhere with the "manager" at the Target on Riverside in Sacramento, CA so I decide to leave and as I told her "go to another Target that knows what they are doing".

I come home and try to call corporate headquarters but they are closed for the weekend. So I make sure I have the price match policy and coupon policy with me and head to the Target on Calvine. I go to there and look for the 2x 50 oz all detergent and they only have 100 oz size and the 3x 32 oz small and mighty, I don't want to get into it with someone again so I just leave and head over to Wal Mart on Florin Rd. I find 4 of the 2x 50 oz detergent, everything else was larger and then they also had the 3x 32 oz concentrate "small and mighty" I get the 4 bottles and take them to customer service to purchase and the person there asks the manager and she says everything is fine and everything goes smoothly I pay 2.88 for 4 bottles of detergent that were regularly over $4 they were on sale for 3.97 and I pay .72ea including tax. I think whew ok I'll just go to another Wal Mart and see if they have more of the 2x 50 oz detergent left. I get there and head straight to the detergent and they don't have any. Since this is now the 4th store of laundry detergent isles I've looked at, I finally think that I was right to begin with and that the small and mighty detergent was part of the ad so I grab a few bottles thinking that I will just try it out but then change my mind and get the 14 bottles that I have coupons for and head to the customer service counter. I get up there and she calls a manager or whatever and they say no that they don't do the 2/$5 type of sale. I tell her that I was just at the other Wal Mart and they had run out of the detergent, but I just did the transaction with 4 bottles of detergent and that the manager over there said that they don't do bogo or percent off sales, but if it a set price they will do it. Thankfully she go to ask the assistant manager and comes back with the ok. whew boy am I so glad. She could clearly see that I bought what was advertised. So like 3 1/2 to 4 hours later (I did also go to three Walgreen's but that's another story) I have my 18 bottles of detergent that I got for super cheap and head home!! I guess you live and you learn right?

Spending Tracker

2010-01-22T22:44:00.001-08:00

So I've been using the spending tracker and I really like it so far. I set a budget for myself of $300 a month for groceries and household items. I've spent $228 so far this month and have one week left to go. Stay tooned for my detergent deal I'm trying to get tomorrow and my planter's peanut deal. I bought coupons on ebay for these items and received them just in time. I was a little worried because I didn't receive a confirmation email that it was shipped and they were coming from the east coast, but they got here safe and sound today .

Crystal light $1.97 Nabisco $2.33 use the $2.00 off from Sunday paper making them $2.30 for both.

(I don't know why my pic is sideways) baby einstein DVD's are on sale for $10. They had a peelie for $10 off 2 making them $5 each. We opened one and watched it on the way home I was soooo excited to get them on DVD the baby einsteins we have are almost 11 years old and on VHS so the only TV he can watch it on is the little kids TV.
