4/21 trip! Planned and ready to go!

I am determined to create my own stockpile! lol! I want to hoard things like the extreme couponers do! No really I'm just joking! Anyway, I have a couple of stores I am hitting tomorrow! I have my Walgreens (yes again, its like a everyday run now, they know my name lol) Walmart, CVS, and Victoria Secret!
There are some awesome coupons going on right now! If you go and like lysols facebook page you can print twice a 1.50/1 Lysol item! Which when you bring to walmart you can get two tubes of disinfecting wipes for $1.25! Nice deal!!! So that's my plan is stocking up on those!
Then I'm going to hit my CVS because there is an amazing coupon for $2.00/2 Reach toothbrushes! And @ CVS the toothbrushes are regularly 1.00/1 so I have 3 coupons and I will be getting 6 free toothbrushes tomorrow!!! I have vistors quite often that always forget their toothbrush!
Then also @ Walgreens they have Aquafresh training toothpaste on sale for 99cents w/the instore coupon! So if you go onto the aquafresh website you can print off a .75 coupon!! I got one today and I will get one tomorrow as well!!
Hope this sparks the shopping mode in everyones minds! Happy shopping!!! I'll post tomorrow how it went! And my mommy and sis will be here!!!!!!

4/19 Wags and Rite Aid trip!

So today I decided to go stock up on some more diapers and 'girly diapers'. If your a girl you should know that you can never have enough 'girly diapers'. So when there's a really good sale stock up! So here's the list of things I bought today!
Rite Aid:
4/$4.00 Carefree Pantiliners
3 PediaCare
6.99 originally
on sale for 4.99 x 3 = 14.97
I had a 1.00 off coupon/ one pediacare = 3.00 off

Shopping Trip 4/5

So I went shopping today!! I'm super excited because I just started couponing and I'm getting good at it. Today I went two stores and totaling out at 4.00 total! But wait let me tell you what I got! At Walgreens I got a Acc-check Aviva Glucose meter (14.99 which you pay for and get a 15.00 mail in rebate @ walgreens PLUS $5 register rewards). Which the $5.00 paid for BOGO Disney Stickers (easter promo), Crayola on the go color wonder (1.50 with a 1.00 off coupon) a small chocolate milk, and coke!!!! Now for target I went to target looking for a birthday gift (laugh and learn puppy to be exact) which I have coupons for to make it $5.00. But anyway they were out of it, so I got some candy for the easter baskets! So I got 4 bags of the skittles mixup things (yellow bag) for FREE!! And 2 m&m eggs which were 99 cents a piece on sale then I had a $2/2 coupon which also made them FREE!!! So I'm super excited about my free shopping trip today that I had to write and share it.
