My deals of the last week

So I haven't written for a while...I've been super busy.  But don't worry, I have made a few great purchases in the last week.  I have learned a few things too, here's the highlight:

Week 4 Sunday Paper--no coupons.  (I almost bought two of them, glad I didn't)

Always check your Sunday paper to see if the inserts are in them!  I bought two this last week (b/c the P&G [Proctor & Gamble] coupons were in it and that is usually worth two) but I got home to find that someone stole the inserts out of one of my papers!  Seriously!!!

Don't forget your Members Card.  I personally hate that stores make you use those to get deals, but don't go for a sale and don't use them.  I had to go back in and have the difference made up at Walgreens.

So here is a recap of some of the deals that I got in the last week:

Walgreens
     Two Men's Gillette Deo, Two boxes Therma Care Heat patches, Two Women's Degree Motion Deo, all for a total of $3.19.  Total savings of $28.57 or 88.8% Savings!  That one was extra good because I had a $10 off Walgreens coupon from a previous good deal.

    Two Suave 18oz body lotion (B1G1), Bic Soleil Razors 4 pack ($3 MF off, $1 Store Sale), Caress body wash ($0.75 MF, $2 store sale), and a new Twix Coconut candy bar (what the heck) for a total of $3.94. Total savings of $15.35 or 79.5% savings.  I used a $5 off Walgreens coupon from the above purchase.

Price Chopper
    Two bottles of Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce, 18 oz for FREE!!!  I held on to two of the $1 off one MF coupons b/c I knew I would find them on sale for $0.99 somewhere!  They are normally $2.69. Charmin TP 9 pack for $2.99.

So that's the coupon news.  As for cooking...well I added Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkle (my favorite Pampered Chef pantry item) to my Bisquick recipe for Shortcakes and they were amazing.  So amazing that the whole batch didn't last 24 hours.  I have all these wonderful strawberries from the garden and I needed something special to eat them with! :)

More deals coming up-I've scanned the grocery ads for this week and there are some good sales.  I need to check out Target matchups too.  I have found a great local site for match-ups: http://www.pennypinchinmom.com/ Check it out!
