My Shopping Trip With the News Crew

This morning one of the local news stations tagged along with me while I shopped at Target.  I honestly had not been shopping at Target for quite awhile but luckily I was able to find some great deals to show them.  My total before coupons/gift cards/checks was over $43.  My grand total out of pocket (OOP) was just $7.56!!  Here is what I got:

Huggies diapers $8.99
used $3 Huggies coupon
2 Kikkoman teriyaki sauce $1.49 each
used (2) $1 Kikkoman coupons
Nivea lotion $5.04
used $1 Target coupon
used $3 Nivea coupon
2 Wrigley's 5 gum $1.29 each
used $1/2 Target coupon
used $1/2 Wrigley's coupon
2 Schick razors $6.49 each, get a $5 gift card when you buy 2
used (2) $3 Schick coupons
used $5 gift card from previous shopping trip
Similac formula $5.49
used $10 Similac formula check
Aquafresh toothpaste (travel size) $.97
used $1 Aquafresh coupon
Suave hairspray $2.74
used "Free" Suave coupon from a Facebook offer

I also received an additional $.05 off my purchase since I used my own shopping bag.  Some more coupons printed out from the catalina machine at the store.  One of them happened to be for $3.50 off a box of diapers, since I had another $3 Huggies coupon I decided to grab another box of diapers.  I ended up finding some diapers on clearance for $24.64 so after the 2 coupons I was able to get 88 diapers for only $18.14!!  A pretty great deal if you ask me!

So I basically paid less for EVERYTHING than I would have if I had just bought the bag of diapers at $8.99.  Not too bad huh?

I'm Here - I Promise!!

Hello everyone!  I know I've been gone for way too long, but I have a really good excuse!  Check out these two cuties:

I would like to introduce you to Alexander Taylor and Oliver Louis.  They were born on 9.2.10.  Xander weighed 7#11oz, 19 1/4" long and born at 1:44 pm.  Oliver weighed 6#8oz, 20" long and born at 2:09 pm. 

The birth didn't go quite as planned and Oliver was born via emergency c-section.  He ended up staying in the NICU for 15 days.  Oliver was not breathing when he was born and had a couple of seizures once they did get him breathing.  Everything appears to be fine and we haven't seen any complications since he's been home.  It was a super stressful time for all of us but now that everyone is home we have been adjusting to being a family of six!!

Mike was able to be home for the first six weeks which was great!  This week was actually my first full week of being home alone with all of them by myself.  It was stressful at times but we have survived :)

I have still been couponing (when I can get away), I just haven't been posting.  I plan to start posting again soon and actually had a fabulous shopping trip to Target this past week that I want to brag about :)

I hope everyone is doing well.  I've been reading all the blogs and hope you're all still stopping by mine.  I'll update again soon!!

CVS 8/15

I'm still here - doing some bargain shopping when I'm feeling up to it.  The babies will be evicted in less than 3 weeks.  The induction has been scheduled for Sept. 2 and I am ready for the day to come.  We still have a couple things left to purchase though and I am a little stressed about that.  Especially since two of the items that we need (another car seat and crib mattress) we have to get BEFORE they arrive.  Other than that I think we're prepared.  We got Noah moved into Logan's room and that has gone surprisingly well. 

I had a great trip to CVS today!  Here is what I purchased:
10 SoBe drinks BOGO free
used (5) BOGO free coupons from SoBe.com
2 Right Guard deodorants BOGO free
used BOGO free coupon
Purex 3-in-1 laundry sheets $5.99, get $2
used $3 Purex coupon
Zegerid OTC $9.99, get $7
used $3 Zegerid coupon (expires today!!)
2 Crest toothpastes $3.49 each, get $2.50 each
used (2) $.75 Crest coupons
Blink Tears $7.99, get $7.99
used $1.50 Blink IP coupon
used $4/$20 CVS coupon
used $18.98 ECBs
=$1.27 OOP, received $21.99 ECBs

My OOP should have actually been higher but for some reason I was able to apply some of my ECBs towards the tax.

I did another transaction since we were out of batteries and the CVS ones are BOGO free this week.

2 - 16 pks. CVS batteries $9.99 each - BOGO free
used $7.99 ECBs
=$2.60 OOP

My OOP would have been lower if I had remembered to use another $2 in ECBs.  Oh well, under $3 for 32 batteries isn't a bad deal :)

CVS 7/17

I've had some great shopping trips to CVS lately and finally think I've got a good supply of diapers for when the twins arrive.  I'll still be buying diapers but now I'll make sure I can get them for under $2-$3 per pack.  Here is what I picked up on Saturday:

Celsius green tea $7.99, get $7.99
used $2 Celsius IP coupon
Huggies pull-ups $8.99, get $3
used $2 Huggies IP coupon
Veet gel cream $10.99, get $2
used $3 Veet coupon (Reinventing Beauty mag.)
used $2 CVS CRT
used $4/$20 CVS coupon
used $11 ECBs
=$5.41 OOP, received $12.99 ECBs

I could have just bought the smaller bottle of Veet to keep my OOP even lower but this bottle gave me over double the amount and since I had the CRT to use on top of the mannie I thought I might as well get more for my money.  And once I figured in the $4/$20 that I was using in the end the Veet didn't cost me anything!

The Week of Diapers

I picked up a TON of diapers this week!  Both CVS and Target had great deals on them so I figured I might as well stock up while I can in preparation for the twins arrival :)  Sorry - no picture - they are all put away in the closet and arranged by size.  But here is a breakdown of what I got:

CVS
5 pkgs. Pampers $8.49 each, received $1 ECBs on some
used (5) $3 CVS coupons
used (3) $1.50 Pampers coupons
used $4/$20 CVS coupon

Most of the diapers were bought on separate transactions and with some other CVS deals.  I paid approximately $3.79/pack of diapers, which is awesome!!  If you calculate that to a per diaper cost it comes to less than 10 cents/diaper!!

Target
15 pkgs. Huggies $8.99 each, get $5 g.c. wyb 3
3 pkgs. Pull-ups $8.99 each, get $5 g.c. wyb 3
used (13) $3 Huggies coupons
used (2) $2 Huggies coupons
used (3) $2 Pull-ups coupons
used (15) $1.50 Huggies Target coupons
used (6) $5 Target gift cards
=$60.32 OOP, received $10 Target gift cards

Obviously I didn't buy all of these at once.  I think I did two trips to Target but did four separate transactions.  I had started out with $10 in gift cards so I just rolled those.  I paid about $3.35/pack of diapers/pull-ups and it works out to about 8 cents/diaper if you figure I bought mostly newborn or size 1's.  This was a great week to stock up and many thanks goes to my Mom & Aunt Raylene for printing me out the Huggies coupons!!  Those $3 coupons were awesome :)
