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

1 Arizona Tea .99

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 =]
