Kroger

The biggest find this week: Kashi frozen pizzas are 3.99 (normally over $7 each!) and there are 1.00/1 peelie coupons on Kashi cereal boxes, making them 2.99 apiece. Wowzers!

Thomas bagels are BOGO.

CPK Flatbread Melts (like a pizza sandwich I guess) are 2.99 each and there were 1.00/1 blinkies making them 1.99.

Luna bars and Clif bars are 1.00; I used coupons from my Mambo Sprouts booklet to get the Luna and Zbars for free, and the Clif Bars for .50 each.

Stayfree and OB Tampons are 1.50 after coupons from Sunday's paper. I bought 2 pads and 3 tampons for a total of 7.50 + tax, but I have so many feminine products in my stockpile that I plan to donate these to our church's Single Moms Ministry, as well as the Suave deodorant that was .25 after .75/1 coupon.

Not pictured was a Burt's Bees hand sanitizer for 4.99 because I just ran out and hey, Swine Flu.

Total spent: 35.72
Total saved: 43.76

K-Mart Super Doubles run

It completely slipped my mind that K-Mart was running a $2 Super Double week. I grabbed my binder and headed over this afternoon. I ended up making a second trip with the baby tonight but she flipped out because it was too close to her bedtime and it started torrential downpouring and I had no umbrella and therefore I ended up paying way too much for toothbrushes because in my hurry I grabbed the wrong ones by mistake. *Sigh.* Oh well.


Transaction #1:
(1) Colgate @ 3.29, used 1.50/1 from All You
(1) Crest @ 2.79, used 1.00/1
(2) Sensodyne travel sized toothpaste @ 1.49 each, used .75/1 peelies
(3) Hefty One-Zip travel bags (7 per pack) @ 1.19 each, used .55/1

Total: 3.79

Total spent: 8.46

come on over.

I've gotten behind in my coupon clipping the last couple of weeks and decided to make myself do it on Sunday nights before the week gets away from me. Since I love accountability and company I'm extending a standing invitation to come to my house on Sunday nights at 8:00 to clip, trade and talk coupons and deals. If you're new or want to get started this would be a great time to come and see what this whole thing is all about. Just buy a Detroit Free Press and head on over after the kids are in bed. I'll provide snacks.

If you need my address or directions you can email me at cassiebrabbs at hotmail dot com.

Hope to see some of you tomorrow night!

march for babies

This Sunday I'm walking in the March of Dimes March For Babies on Nora and Ryan's team. Nora and Ryan are the adorable twins of Jessica, co-author and CVS superstar of this blog. I joined the team a month or so ago but because I'm the biggest procrastinator evah I'm just now posting it here.

I'm going to match donations up to a total of $200, so even if you can only give $5 it will really be like $10.

If you love babies, will you consider making a donation to our team? And if you don't love babies, there's something wrong with you. Seriously. But as a former baby, please consider giving anyway.

Thank you, friends.
