Couponing At Rite Aid

Well I couldn't resist and had to run to Rite Aid and do some couponing.. Of course it was the LAST day of the weekly sale.. And just about everything was cleared out..

But I did get lucky enough to get the Playtex deal and the Loreal Mascara deal that I was wanting.. Spent a little more out of pocket than I wanted to, but had Plenti points to cover the biggest of it.. The way I calculated it I was only supposed to spend like $8 bucks oop but I ended up spending $12 and getting $11 back in PP'S (plenti points)

Here is a lil pic of my deals that I got for today Saturday Oct. 24th

Not too bad for just getting back into couponing and re-building my stockpile..
 I got 3 Pantene's they were 3/$12  used a $5/3 coupon making them $7 for 3 got back 300 pps($3 in pps)..

 I got 4 boxes of the Playtex Sport Tampons for 2/$7 used(2) $3/2 coupons.. so it was $14-$6=$8..  .. got back 600 pps ($6) so ($8-$6=$2).. good deal on those..

 I got a Loreal Mascara for 40% off and used a coupon I got thru Rite Aid facebook.. the mascara after the 40% was $4.97 used a $3/1 internet printable making that mascara $1.97!!! great deal on Loreal!!

I went ahead and got the Buttercream HairColor just because I needed to color my hair.. It was 4.99 and I used a $2/1 coupon on it and got it for $2.99 no points back on that one!! :(

And I found some things that were on clearance.. The toothbrush was $1.19 the Lotion was regularly 6.49 and I got it for $1.62 on clearance..
And I also picked up some light bulbs that were BOGO.. They were $5.49... All in all I was happy with what I bought..

I like adding to my stockpile.. Because it really does come in handy when you need it or if something happens (like a job loss that happened to me a while back)...

Well gotta run and go print some more labels off for the 2 items I just got rid of on Yerdle!! Have a great day.. Come back, ya never know what you might find on this page!!

It's one of those days

Hey yall! Haven't posted in a couple of days. Just wanted to check in, in case someone is reading this...lol... Oh this change in the weather is killing me.. I woke up feeling awful.. had to come on in to work.. That is where I am now.. (shhh don't tell).. feeling like crap, trying to keep my spirits up and keep a good attitude..

I hate having to come on in to work feeling bad.. but there is no way that I can miss even one day of work.. I have to keep my bills paid..

Anyways, on to a different subject.. Been doing a lot of the Yerdle.com.. Getting rid of a lot of my stuff.. It's kinda fun.. I like browsing.. I have gotten rid of a lot of books, and a few things I had sitting in the kitchen that I never use.. I can't wait to get my points for the items so that I can start shopping.. I only have like 20(yerdle dollars) left to spend and I want more!! I have been getting things packed and ready to ship.. Oh one other thing with yerdle that I didn't know was you have to print the shipping label off yourself.. I didn't know that I thought they sent it to you.. So yes, you have to print the shipping label off yourself. .But you can use regular printer paper.. And just tape in on to your packages.. I will post some pics when I get home and show you what I have gotten ready so far..


Best get off here and get back to work!!! Hope yall are having a good night.. Lot's O' Love!!

On a Good Note

Oh yesterday was a great day for me.. I got home from work (crappy night at work ) got online.. Checking my facebook.. Just looking around on some of my group pages.. Went to one of my online yard sale pages.. And I got a tanning canopy (not a full tanning bed) for FREE (no cash).. Well not fully free.. I traded my used treadmill for it!!

It was rather a good deal on both sides.. In my opinion.. Because I was getting ready to list my treadmill to sell because I wasn't using it anymore.. And it was taking up too much space in my bedroom!!! When low and behold.. There she was!! First post too.. All shiny and pretty!!

And turned out that the wonderful gal that posted it was only a couple of blocks (if that!) down the road from me.. She was pleased and I am very pleased..

                               
                                                    My Tanning-Canopy
                                                  

 

I have it standing up for now, pushed into a corner.. and when I am ready to use it, it lays down.. awesomesauce!!! I am loving it.. can't beat a good trade.. especially when you're BROKE like me..

 

Have you guys done any great deals lately?? It's hard living frugally, but ya just gotta keep plugging away at it! Best wishes for the day! God Bless each and every one..

HomeMade Planners and What-Not

Hi guys! I finally figured out how to import my pics from my digital camera to my laptop! Yea, Me!! lol.. I told you that I was technically challenged!

I wanted to show you a couple of homemade binders and planners that I used last year.. just to give you some ideas.. The home management/work planner I really used for a long time. I am now on the look-out for something better! And if I can't find anything, I guess I will just have to make my own the way that I like it!

             Here is the planner that I used for home/work. I got the free printables from Declutterd Mama.com and AndreaDekker.com (which at the time was called SimpleOrganizedLiving.com.
                                       

 

 

 

 

 

 The Daily Spending printables I got from PrintablePaper.net

 The Binder itself I got from WalleyWorld (aka Walmart) I think it was like $15 at the time...

Here is my binder I made for my crochet patterns when I was first learning how to crochet! This binder has a ton of patterns that I got free online! I made so many cute hats, scarves, fingerless gloves, etc... It's the season to start making homemade presents again! Do you like to crochet? or knit? I would love to learn to knit.. Guess I will hit up YouTube!!

 The Crochet Workbook that you see pictured above came from AllFreeCrochet.com.... Binder costs like $3 at Dollar General!

 

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed my pics.. I know it's not much, but it was fun to make and handy to use! But I am ready to make my planners more update and better looking! Time to buy some washi, labeler, stickers,etc!

Till Next Time!! Lot's O' Luv Sent Your Way...   :)

Couponing Day!

Hey guys! Having a pretty good day here so far. It's 12:25pm.. Can you believe I am up and moving around? lol

Well I was laying around the house, on facebook messing around.. I was checking out some of my couponing groups that I am in.. And I decided to get off my butt and go get some DEALS!!! I haven't couponed in over a year because I had couponed so much last year that I had a good sized stockpile and really didn't have the time or the extra money to put into adding to it.. So, we lived off of that stockpile for a whole year.. and now it's looking puney.. And I am ready to build it back up again.

So I went to Rite Aid which is luckily right beside where I live.. Had my deals already picked out and coupons cut.. I didn't have any Plenti points to start with.. So I had to spend money to make money back.. But still got some great deals.. Spent $36.27 and got back $20 in Plenti Points!! So that wasn't too bad, considering I had no PP's to start with! So...my next trip should be way better and maybe I can get my oop (out of pocket) price way lower!! We shall see!

If I can figure out how, I will post some pics on here of my stockpile that I had... Just to let you know it is possible to make a crappy wage and still have stuff you need around the house.. I usually just buy toiletries with my coupons.. Because they never have any good food coupons.

                                                         Here is my previous Stockpile
                                                                 

 

 

 

That was last year's!! But it really lasted us quite awhile. and I had fun giving away gift bags full of goodies to my friends and family! Am hoping to build my stockpile back up to at least that full!

 

How bout you?? Do you coupon?? If so, where is your favorite place to coupon??
