And randomly, today, I felt like blogging. Who knew?<br /><br />Well, lots has happened since May 6th. Although, not particularly in the couponing world. Looking back to last summer, I can see that I definitely have the tendency to slack in the summer. Even though we are still within our budget (I haven't increased it any) I don't record my receipts and I am not as frugal as I should/can be. It's generally about this time in August, when I start feeling guilty and hie up the reins, bring back the old resolve to do better and get my b*tt in couponing gear.<br /><br />On a happy note, though - I have body wash to last me for a year. :)<br /><br />And one big thing that happened for us this summer, that sort of applies to couponing - in the sense that couponing is trying to make your finances work and being smart about your money/finances - is that we paid off our truck. Woo-hoo! 3 months early and now we own both our vehicles free and clear. Yay! That's a good feeling. And we did our entire vacation is cash. Double Woo-hoo!<br /><br />It's little things, isn't it?<br /><br />As far as bargains so far, the only thing I'm really down on is that there are really cheap Huggies wipies at Walgreens -->se<a href="http://www.commonsensewithmoney.com/2010/08/more-walgreens-deals-super-cheap-huggies-wipes-purell-and-enfagrow/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+CommonSenseWithMoney+%28Common+Sense+with+Money%29">e here</a> and even that, I missed the 15% discount. Boo. <br /><br />and there is a Super Saturday Sale at Meijer -->see <a href="http://www.bargainstobounty.com/meijer-super-sale-august-6-7-2010/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+BargainsToBounty+%28Bargains+to+Bounty%29">here</a>, where I am going to stock up on toilet paper. The Kelloggs deal interests me, but I don't think I can collect that many coupons and I'm finding out that our family doesn't eat the sandwich crackers or cereal all that well. Although, we probably could for a $5 moneymaker.<br /><br />All I need is one fantastic freebie deal to get me hooked again!Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13380944562043543521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778379497746625988.post-86942948684479711832010-05-06T19:05:00.002-04:002010-05-06T19:08:21.648-04:00Nabisco 100 Calorie PacksWoohoo - I can fulfill my $20.00 rebate with somemore cheap/free Nabisco 100 Calorie Packs.

There are a couple of transactions I'm planning, though.</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Walgreens - Going to stop at Wags once more. I have a $3 Skintimate Shaving Cream. If there is any left, I'll probably try and roll it into the Stayfree RR and then get another Skintimate and one more Stayfree. </span></strong><a href="http://couponpsycho.blogspot.com/2010/04/walgreens-trip-2-for-week.html"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">This week has been fairly productive in the personal hygiene area!</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"> Thank you, once again, Wags!</span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Meijer - </span></strong><a href="http://couponpsycho.blogspot.com/2010/04/meijer-100-calorie-nabisco-packs.html"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Only stopping in for milk and Nabisco 100 Calorie packs</span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">. Nothing else that I need. I really, really, really want to find a Kraft Easy Mac freebie deal for my rebate, so if you see one, holler!

It's pretty easy, you sign in (or create an account if you don't have one) watch the video for the $5/1 Foster Grant coupon and then print! You only get 1 coupon per video per account, so I signed my hubby up for an account too and now we have 2 - $5/1 coupons.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">I want to get sunglasses for my girlies for vacation this summer. Although I really don't shop at Rite Aid (the Three Rivers store doesn't accept Internet Printables - humph!), I have a $1 SCR from a Pull-Ups deal a while ago and I plan to use that as well. So, I'm basically looking at paying $11.98 for two pairs of kids' sunglasses, using $11 in coupons and paying .98 (+tax) for 2 pairs. I do believe there is a $2 SCR when you buy 2, as well, so I'll continue to dabble at Rite Aid. Thank you, <a href="http://commonsensewithmoney.com/">Mercedes.</a> Love <em>it. </em></span></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">That'll just about wrap my weekend up.

She vomits when she eats too fast, when she gets upset, when she gets scared, when she gets hurt, when she lays down, sometimes for no apparent reason at all - out it comes. It's actually quite disturbing. Our pediatrician has seem fairly lax about it saying that some kids just have a really sensitive gag reflux, make sure she's elevated at night and to ride it out. I did finally at our last appointment get her to prescribe some baby Zantac in the case that Annie has acid reflux, which I do believe she does have in some form, because while the Zantac has helped at night, it has not abated the problem by any means. (And yes, Krista, I'm looking for a new pediatrician! :) )</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">So, poor little Annie - not sleeping and puking every week - and it's starting to worry me TREMENDOUSLY. Not just because I don't sleep either, but because I'm worrying about her stomach lining and her esophogus and because twice now we've taken her to a restaurant only to have rounds of throwing up and embarrassment and having to buy new clothes at the store next door. I'm sorry Dr., I just don't think this is normal.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">So, I posted about it on Facebook and was connected with a gal whose son had sleep issues (which is what I think Annie may have too along with the digestive issues) and she takes him to the chiropractor with phenomenal results. I have been taking Annie for almost a month now and it has helped some and merits further appointments as the dr. is talking with me and his nutritionist about Annie's digestive enzymes.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">So, how does this tie in to Menu Plan Monday? We are going bland folks. We are attempting to trace patterns of what Annie's trigger foods are and so far, we've definitely hit upon the fact that fried foods are just TOXIC to her. She will throw up every time - no matter what it is. It's too heavy or something for her. I'm also attempting to use the Deceptively Delicious book's techniques so as to get some decent nutrition in to my eater who is fussy, but can eat anything and my eater who isn't fussy, but can't eat anything!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">So - here's what we're looking at this week.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Macaroni & Cheese - with sweet potato or cauliflower thrown in -(can't remember which it is!)</em></span></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Pasta with sauce </span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;">Grilled Chicken, rice and peas (<- I really like rice & peas mixed!)</span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"></span></em></strong><br /><strong><em><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/x-355-Low-Carb-Examiner~y2008m6d4-Cauliflower-Pizza-Crust-Worth-its-Wow-in-Gold"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Mozzarella, Tomato & Cheese Cauliflower pizza </span></a><span style="color:#cc0000;">- I'm going to attempt to get this right.

So, I did my Meijer run and it was awesome. I, of course, went immediately to the pallet of Mac and Cheese boxes looking for those wonderful get a FREE Capri-Sun peelie and I don't know who did it, but every.stinking.peelie was GONE! Even the packages in the middle of the pallet had the peelies ripped off! It was either an employee or customers, but it was a brand new pallet and there was not a peelie to be seen.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So, not to be deterred, I went over to the regular aisle of mac and cheese and there at the bottom were about 10 5-packs or so of what I was searching for WITH peelies. So I was a happy, happy camper.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">So, all in all, the above picture is missing 1 gallon of milk, 8 yogurts, Doritos and 2 bags of 100-calorie cheese packs (and...BLECH! The 3 cheese blend one is awful.)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I paid: $32 OOP, saved $82 and received $6 back in OYNO coupons and $3 back in bottle deposit. So, it's like paying $23 for all the above!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Which bears mentioning that if I had paid full retail price for just the laundry detergent - I would have paid $25 OOP. Good grief. And I used to pay it too! The lady in front of me had a ton of coupons as well, so I was silently congratulating her, but the lady behind me was ticked with all of my coupons. If she's willing to pay that extra $82 for me to speed things up, well, by all means - I'm happy to oblige. But she didn't offer, so I'm guessing she's not.</span></span>Amyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13380944562043543521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2778379497746625988.post-70053088403800934102010-04-23T10:26:00.003-04:002010-04-23T10:29:03.994-04:00Oreo Fudge Cream Coupon<strong><span style="font-size:130%;">If you don't get the ALL YOU magazine and the Oreo Fudgream $1/1 coupon I was talking about <a href="http://couponpsycho.blogspot.com/2010/04/meijer-super-sale.html">yesterday</a> sounded yummy, never fear! </span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">You can become a fan of </span></strong><a href="http://www.facebook.com/oreo?v=app_113063428719605"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Oreos on Facebook and get 2 - $1/1 IP's </span></strong></a>(don't forget to hit the back button!) <strong><span style="font-size:130%;">for these cookies that look extremely yummy!

Buy the Body Wash + 1 gallon of milk, use the $1/1 Tone Coupon and the $5 NB RR and you should wind up paying about .59 + tax OOP and getting a $3 RR back) but there are some other things you could do:</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Scenario 1:</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em></em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>1 Tone Body Wash - 3.99</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>1 Stayfree MaxiPad - 2.99</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>1.02 worth of filler -(candy or milk, etc...I would choose food as the filler, so you don't have to worry about tax!)</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em></em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Use 1 -<a href="http://www.toneskincare.com/index.html"> 1/1 Tone Body Wash IP</a></em></span></strong><a href="http://www.toneskincare.com/index.html"> </a><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Use 1 - Stayfree $2.00/1 MQ from 3/28 insert</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Use 1 - $5 RR</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">You're OOP will be whatever over $1.02 that you choose (+tax) and you'll receive 2 $3 RRs from the Stayfree and the Body Wash!</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Then...</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Scenario 2: You could purchase 1 Skintimate Shaving Cream - $2.99 and pay for it with a $3 RR from Tone Body Wash and have zero OOP (+tax) and get another $3 RR from the Skintimate.</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em></em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cc0000;"><em>Scenario 3: Purchase 1 Stayfree Pads - $2.99 and pay for it with the $3 RR from the Skintimate. OOP (+tax) and get another $3 RR from the Stayfree.</em></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">You could just roll these $3 RRs all week long and stock up! Just remember, you cannot roll a like RR into the same product and have another RR pop out. In other words, don't buy the StayFree with the StayFree $3 RR. It won't roll.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">There are SO many ways to roll the RR's this week, to stock up on pads, shaving cream and Body Wash!

I was able to stockpile some last spring and it's lasted me about a year and I just finished my last bottle from last year's Softsoap deal. I've seen some good deals these past few weeks (i.e. Dove, St. Ives, etc...) but I just haven't found enough coupons to execute a really great deal on a bunch of them.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">I'm noticing the trend though, that Body Wash you can accumulate for free or very cheap in the spring.

It's always good to review, and maybe some of you have not heard them!<br /></strong>+++++++++++</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><em><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:130%;">One of the first things I noticed when I started to coupon heavily is that I had to change my mindset about grocery shopping.<br /><br />Instead of putting together your menu, looking for items that are on sale and then looking to see if you've got a coupon in hopes of lowering your cost, try doing it backwards:<br /><br />1. Look at the sales<br /><br />2. Look for coupons to match the sales to get items at the lowest price<br /><br />3. Stick to the list<br /><br />4. Plan your meals from what you have in the pantry.<br /><br />Do this for two or three months and I promise you - you'll see savings in your grocery budget. I can't really even remember how I used to do my grocery shopping. It was certainly never with a sales flyer, that's for sure. I used to be so surprised when my calculator would hit my budget number and I only had a few items in my cart. There was never any wiggle room for fun stuff. Now, I'm saving tons and I never have to use my calculator 'cuz I've got it all planned out!<br /><br />So - here's a tip: Get into a bargain hunting mindset before going grocery shopping! Be a tiger - hunt out those deals. Grrrrr...</span> </span></strong></em><br /><p><span style="color:#cc0000;"><strong><span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;">This was originally posted on May 12, 2009.</span></strong></p></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">Anybody else have a coupon tip they'd like to share?
