My Rite-Aid trip was a complete disaster, I bought 2 Bengay thinking they were part of the J & J deal..but they were not..so my total did not reach $30.00..therefore my 2nd order was a total bust and I was so angry with how misleading the ad was and the cashier would not do anything about it, I went out to my car to figure out what I needed to buy to bring my total to $30.00 to get my $10.00 Up, then I went back in and bought those items and then returned all the razors that I bought on my 2nd order. Really mad the cashier mad...lol

Need some parts for your bike???

2009-11-01T09:12:00.003-05:00

Do you need some parts for you motorcycle? Or maybe just that extra accessory that you have been looking for to make your bike stand out among all the rest? Well I have found a great website for you to check out..it's gold wing parts.
They have over 30, 000 different parts or accessories to choose from, so I'm sure you will find exactly what you are looking for. They also have parts and accessories for every make and model, from Harleys, Cuisers, Sport bikes, etc.
If you need or want it, I'm sure you will find it there.
Brand names are also up to 60% off, which is a great deal in itself.

Thanks to my sponsor: Gold Wing Parts

College Pro Denver

2009-03-09T07:43:00.002-04:00

I just came across a new site with painting tips, news, and regional info for the Denver, Colorado area. So if you are from that are check it out College Pro Denver Colorado.

There is a great article about home improvement that might be of help to some. Plus and article about how most people choose the wrong type of paint when painting the exterior of their house. These may come in handy to you if you are thinking about doing any of these to improve your house.

Looks like an interesting site to bookmark and keep for future reference. I'm sure they will be adding more tips and articles as time goes on as the site looks relatively new.

I had a coupon for each item and they all were $1.00 or more. Some of the items for free and most of them were $1.00 or less except the Scott toilet paper which was the most expensive at $3.50 but still a good deal. This is what I got:

Blistex

Another of Weis 10/$10.00 sale item, so I went and stocked up. I will give some of these away to family members as we won't use all these ourselves. My total for all 10 was $3.00, a savings of $7.00. Paid .30 cents a piece.

Tissues anyone?

2009-02-11T07:45:00.002-05:00

Weis is having a 10/ $10.00 sale this week, so since the tissues were only $1.00 and we use a lot of them here at my house, I went on-line to look for coupons for them. I only found some that were .25 cents so doubled would bring them to .50 cents off each box. So .50 cents for each box of tissues sounded like a good deal to me. So I got 24 boxes for $12.00, saving $12.00. I should be stocked up for awhile.

12 cents

2009-02-08T19:20:00.003-05:00

Found these marked down to $6.00 yesterday at Wal-Mart, plus I had $5.00 coupons so I got them for $1.00 a piece. Went to another local Wal-Mart today to see if they had any ( as I got the last 2 at the other one) but they were sold out as well. These are normally priced at almost $12.00.

Double Coupons at K-Mart

2009-01-21T07:49:00.002-05:00

K-Mart is having double coupons again this week, mine is doubling up to and including $2.00 (so your $2.00 now becomes $4.00 off) can use 4 of the same coupons in one trip. I do think they raise their prices when they do this or either they are normally that expensive..I don't shop there very often so I'm not sure.
But I went yesterday and got all the above for $10.06 after coupons.
My totals:
Before coupons: $54.80
After coupons $10.06
Savings of $44.74

The highlights are:
Special K cereal... .50 cents a piece..got 4
Gillette conditioner......50 cents a piece...got 3
Colgate...free..got 1
Oust spray....29cents..got 1
Kotex liners...all free...got 4
Pledge wipes....50 cents a piece..got 4
Ludens cough drops...all free..got 3
Glade candles...$1.49 a piece..got 2..my most expensive items of the day.

Do you do any shopping online? If so, then I have great website for you to check out.. it's called Ebates, it's a website dedicated to coupons discounts

Basically, it's a computer rebate program that is set up so when you make purchases on the internet, you receive a certain percentage back. Each store sets up how much they will give back. Some stores will give only 1% back, but you can get back as much as 16% back.

I don't shop much on-line, but when I do it's nice to being to get a little cash back in my pocket. They send you your money back in the form of a check and if you sign up right now you will get a $10 gift card to certain stores of your choice. Joining is free for anyone over 18.

As most of you know K-Mart is doubling coupons up to and including $2.00 this week again.

I got all the above for a grand total of $7.68 after coupons.
Before coupons my total was $43.93, the lady behind me in line was so impressed with my total. She asked me where do you get all your coupons? My Dad is retired and delivers the newspaper for extra income, so I get all the leftover coupon inserts that he has..yippie for me.

My savings for the day was $36.25.

I recently found out about a new website geared toward clothing for the military and law enforcement. Although they can be worn by anyone. Check them out at 5.11 Tactical Pants.

With 20 years experience dealing with the military and law enforcement they have recently come out with a brand new line of pants that provide more comfort, more pockets to hold the stuff you need and they also have more maneuverability.
They state that they run true to size and have a cinch waist system that will tighten them up as you need. They are 60% cotton and 40 % polyester which makes them great for hot weather climates.

They are a great price and they have a nice look to them also.

Weis 10/7/08

2008-10-08T07:47:00.004-04:00

I had heard on a message board that I visit that when you buy the Renuzit Tri-Scents that a coupon would come out for $3.00 off your next order at Weis. Since the Tri-Scents are on sale this week for $6.99 and I had a $4.00 off coupon I decided to go pick some up.

My first Tri-Scent cost me $2.66, used $4.00 & a .75 cents coupon (weis off next order) that I had and I got the $3.00 off next order. So I did this same deal two more times and every time a $3.00 coupon would print off, so I used that along with my $4.00 coupon and only paid .41 tax each for the next 2 Tri-Scents.

The coffee was free with a Weis coupon. Plus I have a $3.00 off my next order.

Shelf price for the above $22.47
Out of pocket price $3.48
Savings of $18.99

CVS 9/30/08

2008-10-01T08:07:00.002-04:00

Did 3 orders yesterday at CVS and got all the above for a grand total of $2.11

1st deal:
6 post-it's 2/$5.00..total $15.00

Coupons used:
-$3.00 extra bucks
-$2/10.00 cvs coupon
-$3/2 post-it's x 3

Grand total $1.06

2nd deal:
1 Fusion razor $9.99

Coupons used:
-$4.00 fusion

Grand total $1.05

3rd deal:

1 Febreze Noticable $6.99
1 Lady speed stick $6.99
1 Pantene shampoo $3.33
1 Pantene mousse $3.33

I don't know what the cashier did on this order but some how my grand total came to exactly $0.00 so that entire order was free. I figured it should have come out to $1.82. After I got to work and checked my receipt it looks like she used my Febreze $5.00 coupon twice and there was 2 coupons that she never used. Oh well free is good for me..lol..best deal so far at CVS.
