A few good deals

 My daughter is in school now, so today it was just the baby and I out shopping. It was a nice little change of pace. We hit Shopko because I had found a really good deal in the clearance section when I was picking up a scrip yesterday. Had to grab my coupons.

 These Trident Layers were on clearance for .82 each. I had (4) -$2/3 any Trident single pack coupons, so I got 12 of them. With tax, I paid just $2.14. Here's the down side, Shopko has a pretty crappy, tedious clearance system. Each item has to be hand keyed and then an override issued. Yeah, lots of people behind me had to check out elsewhere. That part sucked, but you know what I'm willing to do for a great deal! plus, I really needed gum!! There are still at least 20 more packs of this gum at the Spanish Fork Shopko if you have the Trident coupons!

 We also hit Buy Low.

 I grabbed just a few things; Cantaloupe .25/lb
Celery 3/$1
Bell Pepper 4/$1
Pears 3 lb /$1
Plums 2 lb/$1
Lemon 2/$1
I unfortunately skipped the Bananas that were .50/lb. For some dumb reason, I thought I could still get them at Fresh Market. Um yeah.. that deal ended yesterday. I need to sleep more. :)

A quick stop at Walgreen's

 I hit the Provo Walgreen's today for just a couple of things. They were out of size 5 Huggies Slip Ons (the ones with the register rewards. A little bird informed me though that on or around September 10, they have a huge shipment coming in and the diapers will be just $3.99!!! Yay!! And the $3 off coupon expires on the 10th, so yeah, crazy awesome deal!!

 So I settled for the Huggies Snug & Dry that are $8.49 w/in-ad coupon. Well-stocked.
-$1/1 Huggies Snug & Dry or Little Movers diapers
The milk is on for $1.99. Very well-stocked in all varieties.

The deodorants are a fun little deal; 2/$4, which earns you $1 RR. Use your -$.75/1 Degree coupon and your B1 Dove womens G1 Dove Men + Care FREE coupon to get 3 deodorants for the price of 2.
The Provo store was well-stocked with the sale deodorants.
 I did just two transactions, used $3RR that I had leftover from last time and paid a total of $12.86 (w/tax) Around 30% of retail. :)

2nd trip to Macey's

 As most of you now know, the great mix n' match sale carried over but is not as great now as it was. As soon as I knew that would be the case, I ran over to get what I wanted before the really great sale ended!

Not too shabby!

Learning at Macey's

 Hey kids! I stopped by Macey's today with two tired, hungry kids. It wasn't a pleasant experience, but not just because my boy wouldn't stop screaming. I had made a rookie mistake and left my coupon binder home. I had packed coupons into an envelope for what I planned to get and only brought that. Of course, they didn't have exactly what I wanted for the Mix n' Match sale. I did the best I could with the coupons I had and will be going back this afternoon sometime with my binder!

 For this deal, you mix and match 10 participating items. The list of possible items is quite long and the store is really well stocked on most things, leading me to believe the sale will carry over to the new week.
Here's what I ended up with:
2 Keebler cookies @ $1.29 each.
4 Nutrigrain bars @ $1.49 each
-(2)$1/2 Nutrigrain bars (from Breakfast coupon pack)
2 Cheez its @ .99 each
2 Kellogg's Frosted Flakes @ $1.29 each.
1 banana
2 apples
-$1.50 wyb 2 select Kellogg's cereals (Thank you Becky for the coupons!!)
-$10 off 10 mix n' match items (in-ad coupon)
Total: $11.62 (w/tax)

Stay tuned for this afternoon's return to Macey's!

Saving at Saver's!

 The kids and I met up with my sis in law today at the Savers in Orem. We got there just after the store opened at 9. Mondays are a big day, what with the .99 and half price clothing deals. My sis in law is a pro at this! She got there before us and went through the racks finding things on my list that had the right tags. Together we scoured the clothing departments!
 On my list of things to find were the following:
 For me:
3 pair of jeans 
3-4 church skirts or dresses
3-4 gym outfits
For the kids:
3-4 sets of jammies for each child
3-5 pair of pants for my daughter
2-3 long sleeved shirts " "
3-4 long sleeve church shirts for my son
 Here's what I ended up with. I spent $52.50 total. Brand new, these items would cost at least $400, as some are pricey name brands. All were in great condition!

  3 church shirts, 1 set of warm jammies, 2 sweaters and one coat for my son.

  This adorable black aviator coat was just .99!!!

 3 pair of pants and one long sleeved shirt for my daughter. I was bummed to find so little on sale in her size. Luckily it is still warm and we can utilize summer clothes for a bit. I will hunt for more deals for her next month.

 3 workout shirts and 2 workout shorts for me.

 3 pair of fabulous jeans for me.

3 skirts and one dress for me.
 I just love Saver's and shopping there with my favorite thrift shopping expert! If you plan to hit up the Monday deal day, get there early! And if you have some things around the house you want to get rid of, head around the back of the store, donate them and pick up a coupon that you can use for a percentage off your total purchase!

You've got mail!

 I love looking in the mail box! Every few days I can count on there being some sort of FREE sample or coupon!

 My FREE sample box of Quaker Oatmeal Square came along with a $1 off coupon. i enjoyed the cereal as a snack at the gym. Quite yummy!
 I somehow got another FREE Pantene full size shampoo or conditioner coupon! Lucky day!
 Finally, I also received my FREE Huggies onesie that I ordered after submitting codes from diapers I purchased. I will get one more in the next 4-6 weeks. I was happy to include the onesie with some other full size baby products I had gotten FREE at Target as a welcome home gift for my neighbor's new baby. I was able to put one of the clearance Easter bags (with chicks and eggs), that I got at Walgreen's a few months ago for FREE to hold the gift. You CAN do nice little things for friends and neighbors without spending lots of money!!! You just need to seize the opportunities when they present themselves!
