Toilet Paper Deal.

What you see here... is my new favorite toilet paper.

=]

Lately, this toilet paper has been a special deal at Target. It comes around about every 4 weeks or so, so I finally took advantage of it. Now the deal isn't going on right now, but my Target coupons for it are about to expire so I plan on buying it anyways at the higher price.


This is how it is..

The deal is where each package is $9.99. When you buy 2 you get a $5 Gift card. That already makes the deal really nice, but then add coupons!


Here is the deal as posted by Totally Target. This is completely from her blog, not mine!! So the credit goes to her, I'm just sharing it with you guys. Basically, the packages of toilet paper (like those above) have coupon booklets inside of them. These coupon booklets include $2/1 Charmin Sensitive as well as $1/1 Charmin Freshmates. Using this, you can roll the deal over and over again. And I gotta say, the toilet paper is really nice!


Transaction 1:
Buy (2) Charmin 18 pack ($9.99) & 2 Freshmates ($2.49) = $24.96
-$5.00 (use two -$2.50 off wyb Charmin 6 pk+ AND Freshmates TQ 4-10-11 RP x6/30
-$4.00 (use two -$2/1 Charmin Sensitive Found inside Charmin Sensitive)
-$2.00 (use two $1/1 Charmin Freshmates found inside Charmin Sensitive)
= $13.96 - $5 Gift Card Back wyb 2 = $8.96 for two 18 packs & 2 Freshmates. 
Or like paying .24 cents per roll plus 2 free Freshmates. 

Back in the habit

Wow.

I cannot believe it has been almost a month since I posted. I feel terrible. I feel like I let people down lol. But now that I am officially finished with my classes until the end of August, I'm already getting back into the loop! I have a couple of deals to share with you guys for now, and a couple more I plan to take advantage of next week.

Sorry for falling behind but I do want to ask any of you who actually follow my blog to please share the blog with friends, families, coworkers or whoever else may need some help with saving money. I like to think that my blog is a sort of laid back way of teaching the basics... Thanks for your support.

Walgreens:

What happened here is this... I spent a lot of money lol. Usually I love to roll my rewards, pay pretty much just tax, and have rewards for the next week. Well in this case, I waited until my rewards were about to expire and I needed to use them, but the deals were so lame and not really anything I needed. So I decided this.. I'll splurge a bit. In the end, I payed about $15 for $50 of stuff. Sure its pretty nice but I only got $13 rewards back even though I started with $19. On the bright side, its like I got more stuff this week and free money for next week. I could have used my $19 rewards and gotten nothing back, or, like I did, spent about $15, got $50 of stuff, and have more for next week. That's the beauty of couponing.

Transaction 1:

4 Tresemme 4/$15 get $5 RR

This was my major splurge. I have so much shampoo already... but I've always wanted to try tresemme. It's my first time and they look so professional and expensive... lol. So I went for it.

3 Suave Lotion $3 Each

1 Suave Shampoo $1   
Buy $10 worth of Suave and get $3 RR

Again, I don't even use this stuff but I got some rewards and can give the items to family, who will always appreciate it.
Used 3 $1/1 Coupons on Suave.com

Publix
Then I went to publix for a super amazing deal on Ben & Jerry's icecream

The pints of these things are so expensive. $4.83 for one little pint???

That's why this week's deal got me really happy.. lol

At my local Publix, we had the icecream on sale for $4.83 B1G1 Free.

Okay. Good deal so far.

Well then there was a manufacturer coupon in 6/12 RedPlum for $1/1. 

Even better deal.

THEN my store accepts Whole Foods as a competitor. They happen to have $1/1 store coupons for the icream on their website right now.

YAY!

So I did as follows

6 Ben and Jerry's Icecream $4.83 B1G1 Free

-(4) $1/1 Manufacturer (only had 4)

- (6) $1/1 Whole Foods coupon

= $4.49 for ALL. 

Wow. Less than the price of one =]
