Walgreens Savings

Walgreens in Howell Michigan had the pharmacy coupon books. Just sitting out at the counsel counter. Be sure to get them. I grabbed two of them.

Diaper Deals

3 packages WAGS Size 6 Pull-ups
1 ESC coupon $5 off 2
1 Pharmacy Book coupon $2 off 1

OOP 5.19 (we have 6% sales tax)

$5 Register Rewards

Did another round of size 6 diapers because we do use both. Worked just as well.

So $.19 for 3 packages of diapers.

Cereal Deals

2 boxes of Post Honey Bunches of Oats $2.50 each
$2.00 off 1 Internet Printed Coupon from any of these links.
$.50 each Total OOP $1.00
$2.00 RR

They paid me $1.00 to leave with two boxes of cereal.

Laundry Deals

Woolite $2.50
Spray N Wash $2.50

I was able to get a $1.00 Q for Woolite and a $.75 off Q for Spray N Wash here.

The Q's brought my total OOP $3.55 (6% sales tax included) but there is a MIR in the ESC for $2.00 each Rebate. So they paid me $.45 to take the two home.

Candy Deals

Now mind you, there are other deals at Walgreens on candy, but this is what I got.

Herbert's Fully Loaded Chocolate Bars $.99

This is where I pretty much messed up and just now realized it. I got two. The MIR is limit one. Oh well, on with the show.

I found WAG's brand Blue Raspberry chapstick for $.50 and grabbed two of those. Always needing that anyways.

2 Candy Bars $.99
2 chapsticks $.50

Total (Tax included) $3.04

Used $2.00 RR OOP $1.04

I thought that I'd be getting $1.98 back in MIR, but only $.99. I also have to say that those Herbert's Fully Loaded Chocolate Bars are not driving friendly, big mess, but oh so good.

Total OOP for the day: $15.88
Total RR for the day: $12.00
Total MIR for the day: $4.99

I think I did good.

I now have $10 RR to work with. I'm guessing to roll into a MIR would be a good deal.

Maybe I can save up for a pool!!!

Peanuuuuut, Peanut Butter

I love saving money, but then again who doesn't? Come on! Admit it, you like to save money. See, I knew you did.

18 ounce Peter Pan Peanut Butter is on sale right now at my local Spartan Store for $0.79. Then there is a dollar off coupon in January 6th Sunday insert. That's free Peter Pan Peanut Butter.

Check to see if it is on sale in a store near you.

Paying it Forward

This post will be about passing on your unwanted items. Why?

Well why fill up a landfill with unstained still useful clothes? Why throw away anything that someone can really use.

I'm fond of a free program called Freecycle. You can find a Freecycle Group in your area. Each area may have different rules and regulations. For example, in my area you cannot post an animal for free. Become acquainted with your areas requirements, because there are reasoning's for these rules.

I've heard of great results using another free program called Craigslist, although I have never used it.

By way of BabyCheapskate I found a small fee program called Freepeats. This is another I have not used, but it is filling up quickly.

In addition to your passing on something that someone may need, you can also look for something that you may need.

I passed on to a new young mother all of my baby things from my last pregnancy. She was more than happy to accept my 0-3 months clothes, a swing, and many other items.

Every little bit helps.

Blogging Away Debt

Trish over at Blogging Away Debt is in the process of getting out of debt, and has been a favorite of mine for a long time. I am a very thrifty person and was simply amazed at how she prolonged the life of her glasses.
