That's what I'm talking about

More or less that is!
Walgreen trip. Retail was 40.62. After sales, coupons, and Register Rewards, my toal was 16.89 which is a savings of 58%. But then they gave me $22 back in RR which means they paid me $5.11 to take $40.62 out of their store.

So here are my deals....

• Hershey's Candy Bars $0.49 (with insert coupon) Use $0.55 coupon from 8/23 SS Final Price: FREE plus overage
• Select Vicks products (It's coming into cold and flu season after all.) 2/$10 Receive $5 RR on two Use $1 coupon from 9/27 PG Final Price: 2/$3
• Robitussin DM To Go 2 pk $2.49 Receive $2.49 RRs Final Price: Free
• Chapstick Fresh Effects $2.99 Receive $2.99 RR Final Price: Free
• Emergen-C Immune System 2 pk (2.5 oz each) $3.49 Receive $3.49 RR Final Price: Free
• Gillette Fusion MVP Manual or Power Razor $8.99 Receive $6 RR Use $4 coupon from 9/27 PG Final Price: $1 overage
• Herbal Essence Hair Care $2.99 Use $1 off from RP 9/13/09 or 8/23/09 Receive $2 RRs Final Price: Free

I got all these deals from becentsable.net.

Price Chopper 9/26

I went to Price Chopper late on Saturday evening because I knew I wouldn't be allowed to shop on my birthday! I did an average job at Price Chopper, but there were a few excellent deals I got.

My retail total was 58.26 and after sales and coupons, my total was 39.41 which was a 32% savings. Again, not as good as Walgreens, but not bad.

But here are some of my deals that I scored because I had asked for free samples, signed up for Vocalpoint, or sent in for a rebate of coupons.

• Honey Nut Cheerios was on sale for 1.49. I had a coupon for $1/1 from a sample making it only .49.
• Kashi Sunshine cereal was not on sale. It is priced at 4.99, but I had received a sample and a coupon for one for free, so it was FREE.
• I got 2 gallons of milk for only .89 a gallon. The coupons I had received from a rebate was $2 off a gallon of milk when I purchased 2-100 Calorie Nabisco treats which I was planning on doing anyway.

Ok, just had to prove my point about getting samples and signing up for Vocalpoint.com!

Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

I know I've probably mentioned before about the benefit of signing up at restaurant sites, but your birthday is when you really notice the benefits.

On Wednesday, Mike & I at at Red Robin for free. I'm sitting here with a coupon for a free meal at Ryan's or Hometown buffet, a free regular creamslush from Sonic, a B1G1 Orange Julius, a free blizzard from Dairy Queen, a free dessert from Frazzoli's, Denny's free dessert with purchase of an entree, a free swirl shake with a roastburger purchase from Arbys and a free meal at BD's Mongolian BBQ.

Will I get them all? Probably not. I need all them like a need a whole in the head! I will probably try to score the free meals at least.
