    RUN to walgreens for a $15 money maker!

    This deal is insane! Due to an overlap in promos, Robitussin and Dimetap are giving $20 in RR wyb $20 worth! Buy 5 boxes at $4 each and use the $3 Qs if you have any left, or the $2 Qs on the robi website (click here) to make it a $15 or $10 money maker!! Also the Christmas section is down to 75% off. Hershey kisses were $.62 a bag and Bliss were $1.07.
    Garnier is on clearance and combined with this months $2 IVC and a $1 MQ its overage baby! Here's my haul!!

    25 Robitussin -$4 each - some $3 some $2 Qs
    38 Garnier $2.19 - $1MQ -$2IVC = $.81 overage for EACH = $30.78 in overage (used so i could have less oop on robi deals!)
    35 Hershey Bliss $1.07 - $2.50/2 Qs (i didnt do overage on these. if i got 20 bags, i used 10 Q's and paid the difference)
    17 Hershey Kisses $.62 - $1/1 MQs (same, got 10 bags for $6.20 and used 6 $1 Qs, paid $.20 )
    10 Xmas dishes at $.24 each
    Napkins $2.49

    Hallmark ornament $3.75 (instead of $15 this is great!)
    3 wrapping paper $.49 each (i forgot one at the store have to go back!)

    TOTAL OOP for today = $16.17 all on GC. got back $100 in RR from the robi deals.
    meaning a profit of $83.93!!!

    now what everyone wonders.... what the heck am i gonna do with it all!?!?

    free (expensive!) pet food!

    Posted on 12/27/2008 4:52:01 PM  •  Comments (0)  • 

    I got these coupons forever ago but I never visit Petsmart so I am just now using them. The coupons are for a FREE bag of Nutro dog food or cat food, up to $12. At the store I went to, the dog food was under but the cat food was over $12, so I did have to pay $1.15 for the 3 bags.

    the coupon came from http://www.nutroproducts.com/yf  and the "code" has to be TYPED not copied. It is: go4nc          - then say you heard about it from "Your Family Magazine"

    Just fill out the form and confirm your email to get your coupons!

    cvs freebies!-- AGAIN!

    I thought nothing would top the sales of FAECB items on Black Friday from CVS, but thank goodness they did it again a month later so I could use all my ECB up!

     
    I paid 1.44 on GC and used $190 ECB. I got back $230 in ECB and giftcards, so it was a pretty good profit! Here's my haul.





    I also got these 99 cent American Greeting cards by using $1 off ANY American Greeting Card wine tags found at Kroger. Even though the coupon came from Kroger, they don't sell anything but Hallmark there!
