It has been so long since I've posted - I need to get back on track! Life just kind of got in the way, but you know how that goes. To follow up with my last post, this is the last pile of stuff I was able to donate to the Buffalo City Mission - all that clipping and shopping is worth it! I have never taken stuff down there myself, but it was really easy... you actually just pull your car up and someone comes out to take it for you!

...needs to find a place to donate all of the crap I've been buying!
Lots of great deals at Rite Aid this week - I can't believe I've been missing out on shopping at this store! It feels like they just want me to take whatever I feel like it off of the shelves without paying, because that's pretty much what happens every week...

...To maintain her sanity
I took a few days off of shopping this week - I just needed some time away from coupons, driving from store to store and grouchy cashiers. But off I went today for a quick stop, since I couldn't pass up this deal...

...a shopping break, but who can stay away from these deals?
Another quick stop at Tops this morning (I'm a sucker for the double dollar coupons)
Bought 2 Yogos fruit snacks $2/5 used $1/2 coupon and doubler coupon = $3 (plus they have the codes inside for a free movie pass when you collect 5)
Juicy juice boxes $2 used $1 coupon when you buy 2 fruit snacks and a doubler coupon = free
Lance sandwich crackers $2 used $1 coupon and a doubler coupon = free
Swiffer febreeze furniture spray $3.49 used $1 coupon and a doubler coupon =$1.49 (this is one thing I would pay full price for because the lavender vanilla kind makes my whole house smell so good!)
Total cost = $4.49 (plus half of a free movie :)
Rite Aid
I was so excited yesterday because I received a rebate in the mail from Rite Aid I have been waiting forever for... it was from a previous deal I did - get $30 in gift cards when you spend $50 on Skin Care products. I ended up getting the skin care stuff pretty much for free, so the gift cards were a bonus! I am excited to use them so I don't have to use anything out of pocket and I am curious to see how much stuff I can get for free with them. Today this was what I bought:
Listerine mouthwash $3.99 used $1 coupon and $1 Rite Aid coupon and qualifies for $15 gift card back when you spend $25 on oral care = $1.99
Colgate Toothpaste $1.50 used $.75 coupon also qualifies for the oral care rebate
2 Nivea Men body wash $3.00 used 2 $1 coupons =$2 each
2 Pepsi max used 1 B1G1 free coupon and 1 Rite Aid B1G1 free coupon = free
Boudreaux's Butt Paste $3.99 used $1 coupon and Rite Aid $3 coupon = free
Nivea lip smoothie $2.99 used $1 coupon will submit for $1 rebate = .99
Makeup - 2 eyeshadows, eyeliner, lipgloss, eye makeup remover, nail polish $1.99 each B1G1 free used $5/$10 coupon = $.97 for all 6 items!
Used $4/20 Rite Aid coupon Total came to $5.79
Earned $4 in rewards off of my next purchase, so total really came to $1.79 for all of the above! And that doesn't even include the rebates :) I used to hate shopping at Rite Aid before I learned how to use coupons, now I wonder how they even stay open with deals like these!

...to not be lectured
I made a quick trip to Tops today after work and bought the following...
2 Frigo string cheese $4.99 B1G1 free used 2 $1 coupons and 2 doubler coupons = $.99
2 Wheat thins 2/$5 used 2 $1 coupons and 2 doubler coupons = $1
for some reason my total only came to $.99
(FYI: the coupons are technically only supposed to be on shopping orders of $15 or more. I have never had a cashier who has cared but today I got in the line of a woman who was hoping for cashier of the month or something. She lectured me for 5 minutes on their coupon policy, but let me do it anyway, so whatever...)

...to find a new hobby other than shopping
I got lots of good deals today, although it is such a pain to get myself organized before hitting the stores. And don't even get me started on the dirty looks other customers shoot my way when they see my huge pile of coupons, but I digress... Tops is my favorite store this week - Double Dollar Coupons!! 10 years ago I never would have believed this could be so exciting - ahh, how things change... I used to look forward to "80's night" at Rumour's night club, and now I am thrilled to save an extra dollar. Oh well... anyway - My shopping trips for today:

...to win!
Something is going on because I never win anything...ever...never... This week alone I have won 2 giveaways on blogs I like! A $25 gas gift card from thecoupongoddess.blogspot.com and a $10 Shutterfly gift card from givemeneither.com! I feel like I should buy a lottery ticket or head out to the casino... Anyway, entering giveaways on blogs is super easy and obviously easy to win - take it from me! Mel at thecoupongoddess.blogspot.com is hosting a $60 gift card giveaway right now that only lasts a few days, so chances are good! Go check it out! Fingers crossed...
