Fry's Trip October 27th

I know it has been a long time since I posted. We are being relocated to another state for my husbands job so we have been doing a lot of eating from our stockpile and not much shopping the last month and a half. My plan was to hold off on posting until after the move so I can post my finds as I rebuild our stockpile. After a quick run to Fry's this morning for milk and stamps I just couldn't old in my excitement. Fry's is running a sale where you buy 4 granola bar type items and you save $4 which leaves them $1.57 a box. I had some coupons for the granola bars and nut clusters so I decided to grab a few while I was there.

Guess how much I paid for the items below?

Well we know it is at least $8.80 since I bought stamps...$9.03. So basically I paid .23 for everything else. I was so excited. I already have it all in boxes ready for our move (except the milk).

I may not post again for 2-3 weeks unless I find some smokin deals. Until then...have a great Halloween!!

Missing in Action

I am still here!! The last several weeks have been a little crazy and stressful around here. While I am still doing my best to find good deals, I am having a hard time finding time to post them. My husband has been offered a new position within his company which is requiring us to relocate. The next couple of months will be a little rough around here with us showing our house and preparing for our move. I will post when I can but if not I will for sure get back into it after our big move.

CVS Trip August 11th

There is a pretty good deal this week on diapers so I paired up the diaper deal with the Revlon make up deal to try to get cheap diapers. I also received a $5 off $25 coupon for taking a pharmacy quiz. While I was at CVS I found some free/cheap things on clearance. Transaction 2 Snickers Candy Bars (Reg. $.89, Sale $.50 - $1/2Q = FREE) Huggies Supreme diapers (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9 - $2Q = $7, Earn $4 ECB when you buy 2) Huggies Pull-ups (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9 - $2Q = $7, Earn $4 ECB when you buy 2) 3 Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (Reg. $.99, Clearance $.09) 3 Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Reg. $2.19, Clearance $.21 - .50Q = 3/$.13) 2 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Gold (Reg. $5.29, Clearance $.52 - $1/2Q = $.02 each) 1 Pez Dispenser (Reg. $1.50, Sale $.25) 1 Revlon Foundation (Reg. $13.99, Sale $9.99 - $1Q = $8.99, Earn $9.99 ECB) 1 Torpedo Ball (Reg. $6.99, Clearance $.41) 2 Post Shredded Wheat (Reg. $4.79, Clearance $.48 - $1/2Q = .02 MM each) I used $6.84 ECB and paid $14.07 OOP.
