Never shop when hungry, or when sick with flu.

I told my self I wouldn't go shopping until this coming Friday before little man's bday party. Well, we needed things. Like diapers,milks,juice, and something for me to throw in the oven and get it out when the timer goes off. I also needed one of those neat snack cups for my baby, this way the dog can not get them and little man won't make a huge mess....again. 

I went to Publix this morning and did ok at my shopping. Not the best deals but then again I only went there for milk and Tylenol cold. Which I got, along with Texas toast(it was bogo free and I had 2 mfc's for a total of $1 off, so it was $1.89 for 2 boxes.)  Then I got cereal for hubby. Raisin Bran and cinnamon toast crunch. Little man needed littlest man food, so I got more of that.  Sorry to say but no pics of that small haul.

 Then later after a regretful bowl of chili and a baby without a nap we went to Target. It was part 2 of shopping as we needed diapers and juice. And umm...makeup. There is always room for that. Hey, I am high maitenence mama. I want to look good. And most of my Maybeline was less than $2. I also got a Rimmel lipgloss for $2.  

This all cost me $50 before coupons it was more than $75. Let's face it diapers are expensive. And not only that I had to get extras. Like the juice. The 3 cans of Iams were free. Actually I made money on them. $1.70 for 3 cans and I had a coupon for $2 off 3 so, they were free with a 30cent profit.

The makeup was cheap too.

The E.L.F brush was only a dollar but worth it. They make great brushes. The Mascara was only $2 after coupons and the nail polish by Maybeline was only $1.89. I am the master of getting shampoos,conditioners,and serums free or $1. That Loreal Sleek it, was only $.99! Who said you can't afford to get that stuff for great hair? You can and it is awesome stuff. One post I'll have to show you the stock pile of my bathroom. Once you see that you will do it too.

Ok, so how did I manage that? So, Target had it on sale for $3.99 I had a sc for $1 off and a mfc for $2 off. Math. It was only $.99. Yes that is right $.99! 

Diapers, let's talk diapers before my medicine kicks in and I get a nap while hubby watches boy. (Hubby took his sick nap already ) 

The pampers baby dry were $8.99 every day. I had a mfc for $1.50 off and a sc for $.50 off. That made it $6.99 for the bag. The wipes were on sale for $5.49, I had a mfc for $1.50(which is rare) and a sc for $.50; each bag cost $3.49 that is a great deal!  Over all I would say not too bad, definitely not one of my best trips but ok, none the less. I wasn't at my best either, almost puked while shopping.Be sure to check out the coupon links at the top of the blog for some super savings! 

$1.97 Revlon and $.24 bic pens.

It was deal hunting day and I found some great deals and I really wanted to share them! At Walmart there was a great deal on hair color by Revlon, it was the color silk butter cream which is the newer kind. In the paper there should have been $3.00 off the color. Normally priced at $4.42 it was after the coupons $1.42 a box! I stocked up! Yes, I am addicted to hair color. As well as deodorant buying, but when it is free, why not? I got more Mitchum deodorant for free, after the $2 off coupon! Using the price match garuntee I was able to get them to match Publix sale price of $1.99;making my deodorant FREE!  Then let us talk pens. Bic pens are only $.24 after the $1 off coupon. Get the crystal ten pack and you can get pens for $.24, this would be great for school supplies.  Then I got more maybeline mascara. It was rolled back to $4.97 and I had a Walmart coupon for $2 off Maybeline mascara. This made my mascara $2.97. I hate paying full price! 

 

It is truly a great deal to take advantage of. And I would have gotten 2 Windex touch ups for $1.97 if they had them in stock. Target has coupons for a $1 off one and I have a manufacturer coupon for bogo. Using 2 $1 off coupons and that coupon makes it $1.97 for both. Or $.99 each. Sadly they were out. 

I also got little man a walker. He is so far liking it, but can't figure out how to make it vroom vroom. 

Last stop, and a change of policy.What!?

After, I went to Target I went to Publix supermarket. I wanted to take advantage of some killer steals and deals, on Venus Razors,Gilette, and Schick. As well as deals on hot dogs,pasta sauce,chips,sodas,and other items. So, I had a stack of coupons, I am talking a STACK. I got several free conditioners and shampoos for $2.99-$3.99. There was a manufacturer coupon fromTarget that could be used at Publix, everything was fine. Until I got to checkout. The policy had changed and I was not aware of it. So the store put a limit of how many competitor or rather just Target coupons you can use in a single transaction. Crap, there I am with a line a mile long behind me trying to get shampoo and condition for $2.99 for each set. Then the same happened at tooth paste time. CREST was 3 for $5. After my coupons it was $3 for 3 tubes instead of my hopeful $2. Man, all that work and my coupons couldn't be used. Oh,well. I also was thinking about this woman in Target who was telling me how poor she was, how she got social security and disability, and how she was broke. I turned to her and said, that is why I coupon. She said she couldn't afford to coupon. ...what? How? Ok, it is free to coupon if from online. And it takes work, patience, learning, and trial and error. She didn't hear me. She went on about how she couldn't afford what I could, I told her she is doing better than most people . And then I hear, I am still broke..ok. Was there a point to be made by her? I told her how to coupon, and told her it takes time. Was she trying to see what I would do? I am sorry I have been without and I know fully what it is like to have bare cupboards and pantry.  To fill shampoo and conditioners with water to use what ever was left on the bottom as shampoo. As long as little man was fed, I needed not. He was all that needed it. I know what it is like, believe me your story, is completely relatable. And while you were buying your snacks, ma'am I was trying to figure out how to keep the lights on and something in the house. I couldn't afford a dollar. And now that I can stock up, I am. And I will not have to buy Tide, Dawn,Angel Soft, Bounty,pasta, shampoo, conditioner, or toothpaste for a very very long time. Oh and cat litter too. Now I have a stock pile, and now I won't have to worry about things fora while. I can focus on meat and veggies at the stores. And that is great.

Publix, has some great bogos now.

Get crunch master crackers, they are by one get one free, and use 2 manufacturer coupons on each set. So for $1.19 a set why not? Get it! As well as digital coupon for Oscar Myer hotdogs, which is bogo free! $3.59-$2. That is $1.59 for 2,not bad!

I got a lot, for what I paid. $91.43 is what I saved! 

New toy,and a deal.

Last night I finally got an iPad. It is what I expected and then some. Definitely a more blogger friendly tablet. Let's face it, iPad is a tablet. I have been told that it is not, it is an iPad. It is a tablet. Let's move on. I got iPad air, and yes, I like it.  It made my day better, after dealing with my teething baby. Yesterday was a bad day for him. I wish I could make it better, nothing worse than your baby in pain. Nothing. Poor little man. 

I was up most of the night thinking. About something good and thinking about little man #mylittleluv. It was a great deal on cat litter. The new cat litter by Arm and Hammer Clump and seal. Target has it on sale and there are coupons for it. Like on the box the coupon is for $3 off now and $3 off later. When a new product is release a high value coupon is used. Nice right?  I have a store coupon for $1off. So $3.99 for a box of litter. I can get 2 boxes for the cost of one. I am going to take advantage of that. And then get a  Target debit card for an additional 5% off. Super savings, cause be realistic cat litter is expensive. 

More for Target, ok want free dental floss? I posted about this on Gofashiondeals, but will share here too. Go to Target.com to print out $1 off one oral care item. It can be used on any Up & Up brand oral care item. This coupon can be found under beauty in the coupon section. So, the dental floss is normally $.99 the coupon will make it $0.00, absolutley free! 

 These deals are fantastic! Take advantage!
