My Coupon Wish List

So I have been MIA the last couple weeks, between my daughter and I being sick then as soon as I get well and get back to work I find out my grandma is in the hospital and they don't expect her to make it. She passed away this past Thursday very peacefully with loved ones surrounding her. We buried her yesterday. I was thankful to get to see some family that I haven't seen in quite some time although I hate the circumstances but it was still nice to see them. Anyway, I have gotten quite low on my coupon stash since the last couple weeks I haven't been very vigilant in dealing with the paper, so here is my plea for help. I know some, or most of you get the paper and may or may not use all of the coupons...well if you ever come across some of these and want to send them my way you can contact me here @ shannaedawn@gmail.com Here is my list of things that we use on a regular basis, also anytime you come across a baby product coupon you can always send it this way...I'm sure I can put it to good use! :)

Walgreens Tonight

Ok so I needed some formula for the baby so I figured a way to get it pretty cheap. If you read my last blog you'll know that I got a $5.00 RR from the cashier the last time I was in. WOOHOO!!!! So I got another coupon for the Sambucol and here's how I did:

1 can Enfimil Lipil 13.49

1 Glade Lasting Impressions 7.99

1 Sambucol 10.99

1 Thingamijig candy bar (filler) .69

Total 33.16 + tax

Used:

5.00 RR

4.00 mfg Q for Glade 4.00 ESC glade

10.00 ESC Sambucol 4.00 mfg Sambucol

Total after taxes 8.72 (tax was 2.56)

I was pretty excited...DH was too! I think he's starting to get that it's a good thing for me to like coupons!

Walgreens Today

Ok so I went to Walgreens this morning after church and did pretty darn good. I didn't follow my plan exactly as I mentioned in my last post but here's what I did:
Transaction 1:
2 Huggies Natural Fit diapers $20
1 Huggies Gentle Care wipes $6 (actually rang up at 5.99)
1 Garnier Fructis 2.99
1 Edge shaving gel 1.99
Total 30.97
-2.00 Wags Q & 1.00 manf Q for Garnier
-6.00 Huggies Natural Fit (had 2 of these @ 3.00 each)
-5.00 Huggies gentle care
Total 16.97
- 10.00 RR from dove deal earlier in the week
6.97 + tax total OOP 9.76

Transaction 2
1 Fructis shampoo 2.99
1 Sambucol 10.99
1 Huggies Gentle care wipes 5.99
2 Huggies natural fit diapers 20.00
2 candy bars 2/1.00 (fillers)
Total 40.97
-10.00 ESC Q -4.00 IP for Sambucol (got overage!)
-2.00 ESC Q - 1.00 mfg q for Garnier
-5.00 Q for wipes
-6.00 Huggies natural fit (2 @ 3.00)
Total 12.97 + tax
-10.00 RR from previous Huggies deal...yeah I knew I wouldn't get another RR but I only had 20.00 on me and had to use it
Total 2.97 + tax
Here's the kicker...I wasn't paying much attention and when she told me the total I just handed her the money thinking man I must have miscalculated because that seems awfully high. She told me my total was 15.53. So I pay get the kids and stuff loaded in the car, drive the 1/2 mile home and take some excedrin and start looking over my reciept. I got charged for 3 yes count them 3 diapers...thats an extra 10.00. I told my husband I'm going back....you can't stop me..haha. Anyway the manager gave me my money back but seemed a little rude about it kinda like I was lying because I had mistakenly left my purchases at home. Anyway I did get my 10.90 (got tax too) back. So all in all I spent a total of $14.39. Pretty darn good for 4 packs of diapers and 2 wipes (seeing how that and the 2 candy bars were all I actually paid for!) I normally use Luvs and can't buy 2 packs of them for that price! YAY ME!

Hoping for a good deal

I'm hoping I can head out to Walgreens in the morning to do the Huggies deal. We are almost completely out of wipes and this would be a great way to stock up on some. I'm thinking if I do 2 transactions I should be doing pretty good.
Transaction 1
2 natural fit diapers $20
1 gentle care wipes $6
TOTAL $26
-2 $3.00 natural fit Q
- 1 $5.00 gentle care Q
$15.00
I also have a 10.00 RR and a 3.50 RR so I'm thinking I will use the 10.00 on this one and save the 3.50 for a Dove deal in between the 2 Huggies deals
Transaction 2
4 dove soaps
4 dove trial size deo
get a 10.00 RR
-3.50 RR and a 1.50/2 dove Q should only have to pay a couple bucks on this one
Transaction 3
5 gentle care wipes $30.00
-3 $5.00 Q
15.00 - 10 RR from dove deal
$5.00 OOP
Let me know if these sound good to you or if you think I should change something around. Let me know how you do tomorrow!
