I plugged in my Chi hair straightener this morning, just as I have each morning for the past two years. As it warmed up, it started to smell really bad - like it was about to catch on fire. Then I heard a click and the red light turned off .... and it hasn't turned back on. There was only a one year manufacturer's warranty, so in the trash can it went. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My unruly hair is not allowed out of the house unstyled so I need a replacement ASAP! I jumped on Amazon this morning and found this amazing deal!<br />

It is lots of work, but there are good deals to be had! I filled a prescription at Albie's using the in-ad Q and got a $25 gift card. I only paid $3.00 for the prescription, so before I even started filling my cart, I had made $22!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I always stop by the clearance section on my Albie's trips and I hit the Glad trash bag jackpot! I have NEVER been able to get any great deals on garbage bags - it's like the unattainable deal for me. It makes this deal even more exciting. I found these Glad trash bags on clearance for $2.00 each! I also found this box of Mylicon for 4.00 - great price! I just paid $12 for a bottle at Rite Aid last week :(</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zwSrYxNho1A/TpM78W669aI/AAAAAAAAAGI/eHCA2eoKEck/s1600/albies+-+glad.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" kca="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-zwSrYxNho1A/TpM78W669aI/AAAAAAAAAGI/eHCA2eoKEck/s320/albies+-+glad.bmp" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We are finishing up last minute things to move into our new house and I needed all of this! Curtains, rugs, curtain rods, a bedding set for my daughter.... I paid a fraction of what I was dreading paying for all this stuff.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's the first batch of treasures - curtains and Cascade on the left, twin sheets & quilt set on the right, with some curtain hardware on the bottom...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QnM-TGoD6H8/Tn54qyMB5uI/AAAAAAAAA_I/xV7LHqcGhPg/s1600/t.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-QnM-TGoD6H8/Tn54qyMB5uI/AAAAAAAAA_I/xV7LHqcGhPg/s320/t.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The quilt set is hard to see, so here is a picture of it from Target.com. It's adorable in person!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This seems like a lot OOP, but I have window treatments for all of our windows, a complete bedding set for our daughter,nice fluffy rugs, and it's all super cute Target stuff - for less than a hundred dollars out of pocket.

<div style="text-align: center;">I know all my AZ friends won't be able to replicate these deals - So Cal Albie's is a different company that the Albie's in AZ. But I am posting this for my California shoppers...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">I love doublers at Albie's!</span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I had heard about them all over the frugal blog world for years and was always so jealous. I guess one this is one good thing about shopping in California. Thank goodness! I need all the perks I can get out here. AZ people - count your blessings to be where you are. I have never seen milk here below 3.00 a gallon EVER. Ugh... Anyway, onto the doublers...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This was my first experience with doublers, so I read up on the blogs about limits, etiquette, beeps, etc. I had all my items split out so I only used 2 doublers per transaction (per the coupon), but when I got to the cashier, she said she'd just combine everything! I had one doubler for each manufacturer's coupon I used. I figured I should go for the gold and cash in all the coupons I could. Getting things for free is very rare in California, even with coupons, so I went a little nuts. </div><br />

<strong>6.88 total paid out of pocket!</strong>Arizona Savingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00092334352670660505noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896405254608377754.post-84468585325171049522011-08-08T09:42:00.000-07:002011-08-08T09:42:31.645-07:00How many Huggies wipes did you get?<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KgRH2WO_Yl8/TkAR4gFR6SI/AAAAAAAACVI/8XDEWxmYWaU/s1600/H.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240px" naa="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KgRH2WO_Yl8/TkAR4gFR6SI/AAAAAAAACVI/8XDEWxmYWaU/s320/H.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div>I was so excited to see this Huggies wipes deal at Walgreens this week! I have two in diapers so I like to keep a healthy stockpile of wipes at all times. I went Saturday night when my store turned the next week's sale prices on to make sure I was able to use all my coupons. The shelves were fully stocked, but I didn't want to take any chances waiting until Monday (I don't shop on Sundays).</div><br />
Here's what I did...<br />
<br />
<strong>5.99 Huggies refill pack</strong><br />
-2.00/1 Wags coupon from August coupon booklet <em>- these are all over the store</em><br />
-2.00/1 Wags coupon from Infant Care Booklet - <em>I've never seen these, but I was able to use the code</em><br />
-.50/1 MQ 7/17 SS<br />
<strong>1.49 each!</strong><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I also had one coupon for .75/1 Huggies wipes from a home mailer, so one of my packs was actually 1.24! What a great deal!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The Infant Care coupon booklet was out in the spring time I guess, but I've never seen it. I had the coupon code (5519) and the cashier just manually entered the numbers. As long as you have the cashier scan the manufacturer's coupons first (which is always a good rule of thumb at Wags), you won't have any beeps. It worked perfectly! I hope you all are able to find wipes in stock - this deal is all over the internet. So, hurry, hurry if you want wipes too!</div>Arizona Savingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00092334352670660505noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896405254608377754.post-75934370506153436172011-07-31T07:45:00.003-07:002011-07-31T08:00:05.754-07:00Amazing deals at Safeway/Vons!I haven't shopped at Safeway/Vons for months. Ever since they stopped accepting e-coupons with manufacturer's and store coupons, the deals have really dried up. This week, however, is fantastic! Maybe this is a good sign of things to come! I hope so... these California grocery prices are a killer!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Are you guys living at Kmart this week? Holy heck. They are doubling manufacturer's coupons .99 and less! So, that means, if you have a .99 coupon, it doubles to 1.98 off! As if that weren't exciting enough, there is also a major toy clearance going on too! This is great news for you and your stockpile closet!</div><div style="text-align: center;">As usual, Sheryl has done a great job of posting match-ups. Isn't she great? She's always so thorough! <a href="http://www.thecentsableshoppin.com/2011/07/kmart-doubles-07240730-free-sun-silk-shave-cream-more/">Click here to see her list.</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Here's what I've been scoring deals on this week...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R1EZj8E5pVQ/TjG1mcx7RPI/AAAAAAAAA-g/zLqfhbgYOI0/s1600/photo.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-R1EZj8E5pVQ/TjG1mcx7RPI/AAAAAAAAA-g/zLqfhbgYOI0/s320/photo.JPG" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><br />
There is a catalina deal on Cottonelle, plus a Cars 2 $10 Visa card promo which makes this an amazing deal!<br />
Here's the catalina info...<br />
7/8-7/31/11<br />
Buy 2, get $3.50 OYNO<br />
Buy 3, get 4.50 OYNO<br />
Each 12 pack is priced at 4.99 - which is already a great price for double roll Cottonelle.<br />
<br />
I wanted to minimize my out of pocket, so I only bought two at a time. You do what works for you :)<br />
<br />
Here's what I did...<br />
<br />
Buy 2 packs of Cottonelle (12 double rolls) at $4.99 each - Look for the Cars 2 emblem!<br />
Use (2) .75/1 Cottonelle Bath Tissue 7/17/2011 SS Insert (exp 8/28/2011)<br />
Pay 6.98 out of pocket<br />
Get back a $3.50 Catalina coupon<br />
Makes each pack 1.74 each<br />
<br />
Buy another 2 packs, using the exact same scenario above. But this time, use the 3.50 OYNO to bring your out of pocket down to 3.48.... and get ANOTHER 3.50 OYNO! This makes your net cost - 2 cents! Keep on rolling until you run out of coupons. Then, enter 5 codes on Kimberly Clark's website for a $10 Visa gift card! Wahoo! I love toilet paper deals.<br />
<br />
There is also an awesome triple dipping Kellogg's cereal deal...<br />
<br />
Most of the Kellogg's line is priced at 4 for $10. I had .70/1 Kellogg's peelies I found at Albie's a few weeks ago. There are tons of Kellogg's coupons out there to make this deal great! Along with this being a great price, there is an unadvertised promo when you buy $20 in Kellogg's products, you get $5 instantly taken off your total! I was leery because I saw zero signage for it plus none of the cereal was marked on sale. But, it worked! I bought 8 boxes of cereal per transaction. Here's what I did...<br />
<br />
Buy 8 boxes of 2.50 Kellogg's cereal (look for Cars 2 Concession Cash promo) = 20.00<br />
Register automatically takes off 5.00 = 15.00<br />
Used 8 .70/1 peelie MQs doubled to 1.40 each = 3.80 for 8 boxes or .48 each!<br />
I used a 3.50 Cottonelle catalina and paid 30 cents out of pocket.<br />
<br />
Already an amazing deal right? It gets better!<br />
<br />
Enter 4 of the Kellogg's Cars 2 Passport to Adventure codes <a href="http://cars2.kelloggs.com/"><span style="color: #351c75;">here</span></a> & get 2 $5 Visa cards!<br />
Now you've made 6.20 buying 8 boxes of cereal!<br />
<br />
It gets even better because you can submit 10 Rice Krispies UPC codes for a $10 Visa card! I didn't want 20 boxes of Rice Krispies because my family needs variety. But if you're purely interested in making the most profitable purchase, buy 24 boxes of Cars 2 Rice Krispies for 11.40 out of pocket, submit for (6) $5 Visa cards from Kellogg's & (2) $10 Mastercard gift cards from AARP <a href="http://www2.kelloggs.com/AARP/rewards/"><span style="color: #351c75;">here</span></a>.... giving you a grand profit of 43.60!<br />

While you're at Kmart, check out the toy clearance. Prices are WAY lower than marked. I found a Leapfrog Tag Jr. reader marked 25.00 down from 29.99 and it rang up 1.99!!Arizona Savingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00092334352670660505noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2896405254608377754.post-37156912291956557872011-07-08T13:00:00.002-07:002011-07-14T09:14:13.276-07:00$6.45 profit at Target!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been couponing out here in Southern California, but am just getting back into blogging. I had a great shopping trip to Target last night! Most of these clearance deals are going on nationwide, so Arizona shoppers, you should be able to replicate most of this. The only thing I'm not sure on is the Physician's Formula deal. I'm not sure the "Buy 2, get a $5 gift card" is working there. It may be a regional deal. You can verify by double checking to see if a gift card prompt pops up after 2 Physician's Formula products are schanned at the register. If it doesn't, just void them off your order.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, if you happen to still be checking in on this neglected blog of mine, you are in luck! I am running a quick give away for all you loyal readers!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oEs0u1KLYJQ/TTcKfRgiAAI/AAAAAAAAA-I/aoN-3YvPdd0/s1600/Kix_Logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" n4="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_oEs0u1KLYJQ/TTcKfRgiAAI/AAAAAAAAA-I/aoN-3YvPdd0/s1600/Kix_Logo.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> When it comes to starting off your day right, a new survey from Kix found that 84 percent of parents turn to cereal with milk for a quick and healthy breakfast. <br />
<br />
Cereal is one of the healthiest breakfast choices parents can make. Ready-to-eat cereal has fewer calories than almost any other common breakfast option, while also being nutrient-dense and convenient. In addition, cereal eaters consume less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters. <br />
<br />
With the same great taste kids have loved for more than 70 years, Kix makes it easy to serve your family a simple and healthy breakfast! Whether you choose to serve Original Kix or Honey Kix, you can be sure that your kids are getting a wholesome food with nutrients they need to grow. <br />
<br />
The “Kid-Tested Mother-Approved<span class="style1"><sup>®</sup></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">”cereal is made with whole grain corn and is an excellent source of iron. It also is a good source of calcium, fiber, and Vitamins C and D. Original Kix has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. <br />
<br />
To find out more, visit the recently launched Kix website, </span><a href="http://www.kixcereal.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #522e62; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">www.KixCereal.com</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, featuring background on the history of Kix, nutritional content, and special offers.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The lucky winner of this give away will receive a Kix “Kid-Tested, Mother-Approved” prize pack including a 24-piece counting-themed floor puzzle <em>(super cute! - My 2 year old LOVES this puzzle)</em>, fun learn-to-count flashcards <em>(again, super cute!</em>), a sippy cup <em>(I am not impressed at all - the first thing my 2 year old did was flip the cup over and dump the milk out on the floor.

I am due with my baby girl next Thursday, January 27th and she needs a name! I am a big believer in looking at babies before naming them, but I need some suggestions. As a reference, my first daughter is named Maddie. Here are the first names I like (in order of my preference) - Kate (not Katelyn or Katherine - just Kate), Macey, and Allie. I need middle names! I like Kate Chevelle (my husband is a classic car maniac) or Kate Nicole (my twin sister's middle name is Nicole), but I am open to other suggestions - including new first names I may not have thought of.</span></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
