Print And Save This Coupon To Buy Laundry Detergent For Just $0.04/Load

What is your stock up price on laundry detergent?  Do you have one?  You should think about it if you have not already.  Mine is $0.05/load.  Unless I am needing it right now (which will never happen as I already have a HUGE supply of laundry everything- I need to post a photo sometime), I will not buy laundry detergent.  However, this example meets my stock up price!



Starting Sunday April 22, Price Chopper will have Arm & Hammer laundry detergent on sale, half price.  Just $3.49/bottle with 35 loads.  There is a $2/1 Arm & Hammer laundry detergent coupon that we can use to bring the price down to just $1.49!  That makes each load only $0.04!!

But I'd print those coupons now just in case they disappear before Sunday.  You never know with printable coupons.

Great Savings At Price Chopper

This was an odd trip.  I ran in with a hefty list.  And walked out with only what you see here.  Most of which is not even for me- ha.  Oh well.  Sometimes we do better than other times, right?  The problem was that I didn't go to my normal Price Chopper.  This one doesn't have the same items as my normal store.  And I have said it here several times before, but the prices are often different too.  That shocks me given that the two stores are less than 15 mins from each other.  But I digress...



Purchased...
(1) Price Chopper Biscuit  reg. $0.50

(1) Banana  reg. $0.96

(2) Planters Peanut Butter  reg. $3.99, sale $2.50
- (2) $1/1 Planters PB print coupon

FREE Sample : Touchscreen Cleaning Wipes

Oooh I need this!  Click to request a FREE sample of Touchscreen Cleaning Wipes.  Keep the germies off our computers and cell phones!

Onion Coupon

Yay!  I love produce coupons.  And as onions last a long time, this is a great one.  Click HERE for $0.50/5 lb bag of Vidalia Onions

I don't know off the top of my head what a 5lb bag runs but when you go to buy it, make sure you take a moment to weigh a few of them first.  I do that with anything in a bag- potatoes, apples, even berries in a container.  Things that are priced per bag/container often weigh different.  So I have no shame in taking three bags over to the scale and finding the one that weighs the most.

Sometimes other customers look at me funny (but hello...that comes with a coupon binder territory anyway) but other times they will comment that I am so smart to get the most bang for my buck! 

FREE Pantiliners From CVS

Well I still cannot see any photos on any of my blogs.  I've tried GC, IE and Firefox.  No one else seems to be having this problem to my extent though and I am sort of at a loss of what to do.

In the mean time, while I wallow away, click HERE to request a free sample of Carefree Pantiliners from CVS.

Bounty Of Bread




My dad loves Oat Nut bread.  And if you are not from Upstate NY, I am not sure you will have even heard of it.  But Price Chopper never includes Oat Nut in their buy one get two free Friehoffers quarterly sales any more.  Have you noticed that?  Anyway, enter the Hostess outlet store. 

Yes, Feiehoffers has an outlet too.  But I never drive past it and refuse to make a special trip for bread for dad.

It's hit or miss at an outlet shop though.  They get deliveries daily.  But you just never know what they will have in stock each day.  So when I find the beloved Oat Nut, I stock up and stick them in the freezer.

Well I just SCORED big time.  I bought six loaves but they had at least six more.  And I would have bought them too but I knew I didn't have the freezer space for it. 

Something that makes me giggle is that every so often, after I pay, the cashier will tell me to take a free box of whatever is on the end cap.  Today my choices were chocolate Twinkies or those coffee cake things.  Since dad will likely eat the coffee cake things and I have never met a living soul who would touch a Twinkie (seriously...does anyone eat those icky things?), I drove away with a free box.

Do y'all frequent bread stores too? 

In the grocery store, each loaf runs around $3-4.  At the outlet, these were each just $1.69.  That's a heck of a deal!!

I Saved 52% At Price Chopper




This was done last week but due to Blogger issues it is just posting now.  So I am just going to show you that I saved 52% while grocery shopping.  It would have been higher but I misplaced a few coupons and didn't have it in me to deal with the Easter shoppers for one more minute.

Better Than Free At CVS




Thanks to Blogger, you probably cannot see this above photos.  Awesome sauce.

But I snagged two of these Depends Undies for women for FREE with coupons and then earned a $2 ECB.  So I made (CVS) money to buy them. 

Obviously they are a donation.

Blogger Users...Help!

First...Happy Easter!  Or Passover!

Second...I detest the new version of Blogger.  It's miserable.  I have tried it using both IE and Google Chrome and both are wretched.  You'd think GC would work considering Blogger is also Google.  But alas, they don't mix.

But I cannot post photos.

I can upload them just fine.  Well, fine-ish.  But that's another topic.  But when I hit publish, they are no longer in the post.  Just a big empty space.  If I got to edit them, I also see that empty space.  But clicking that space, I can tell they are there as the option to make them larger or smaller appears.  Just sans photo.

I have googled (eye roll) and I can tell many others are having this issue.  But so far I can't find a resolution.  Help.  I have three blogs and am at my witts end.  If I can't figure this out I will absolutely need to just stop blogging as it is beyond frustrating.  I can't spend this much time trying to upload a darn photo.

I also pretty much hate everything about the new format.  I think the space to type is much smaller if you can believe that possible.  For me, that writing space overlaps the tool bar so I can't easily use those options.  And spell check has yet to work.

So Google, in reveiw, your changes are making me miserable.  Awesome job there, killer!

Better Than Free At Rite Aid







 
I did awesome at Rite Aid on Saturday considering I barely got myself in the store for the first time in forever and still do not have my many months of coupons clipped.

There are two photos because I went to two stores (both totally on my way to other places so I did not at all go out of my way to shop). 

I picked up five Allegra Allergy boxes and 12 Snickers Eggs at the first store.  I didn't realize however that the Allegra were on sale.  So I couldn't use all of my Snickers coupons.  Not an issue but just had to note that the Allegra were actually MONEY MAKERS.  Which is completely awesome as I am having horrible allergies lately.  So timely.

At the second store, I used the rest of my Snickers coupons, my two remaining Allegra coupons, Tums and picked up a gallon of milk with some of the excess.

As these deals are over, I will just tell you the general results.  I am at Silver status with Rite Aid Rewards right now so I get 10% off non-sale prices.

Total value purchased ... $68.71
Paid out of pocket ... $2.91
Percentage saved ... 96%

Again, I recognize that I could have actually done better.  But for my three seconds of planning and forgetting that I had Silver status and not paying attention to sales, I'd say I did pretty great.  I walked away with nearly $50 in free, frequently-used allergy medicine alone.

Lilly Is On Sale Right Now....Hurry!



I promise to write up some real posts this weekend.  But in case some don't know (I sometimes miss them so appreciate seeing others make the announcement), Lilly Pulitzer is on sale at Ruelala right now.  Several of the items I really wanted were swiped from my cart within minutes.  Hmph!  But I still got a cute pink shirt (that might be too big) and a stunning green dress (that might be too small in the top but too big everywhere else). 

I promise to let you know if either of my finds are keepers once they arrive.  Damn my hard to fit body!  Actually, just damn my big boobs!!
