 This weekend was a very exciting Stop & Shop weekend for Dizee. 

I was stoked when I saw these bad boys in the weekly circular….  The real challenge was making sure I hit the minimum purchase.

I ended up buying a bunch of staples I normally would spread out over a bunch of trips – King Arthur Whole Wheat and White Whole Wheat flour.  Soda for a family party I am hosting in a few weeks.  Dawn Dishwashing Soap (this is the base of a sugar hand scrub which is great!!! Post to follow next week). 

Overall I ended up saving $48 with my Stop & Shop card and $25 with coupons. 

But the biggest score?  This baby.

The boys have been eyeing this all summer.  It is a three in one slip and slide, pool and sprinkler.  Apparently, it is the Bentley of Slip and Slides…  It had been going for anywhere between $35 – $40.  I got it Saturday morning for 10 bucks!!!! 

Now, I just have to make sure I stash it somewhere out of site until next summer.

I have a cold sore the size of Toledo… I want to shoot myself.  I have been told that Abreva is fantastic, so I wanted to give it a try.  However, it is a tad pricey ($19.99).

I went to the Abreva site where I found a $2.00 coupon.  Then, just before I left, CVS kindly sent me an email for $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase…. how sweet.

I bought the Abreva for $19.99 & a sippy cup for $4.79.  My total was $25.12.  I led with the $5.00 coupon, followed up with my $2.00 coupon and got the whole shebang for $18.12 with tax.

It is like I got a free sippy cup.  Just shows a little planning goes a long way.  I saved over $7.00 bucks!

My grandmother is a bit of a Debbie Downer.  She put the kibosh on ‘Christmas Junk’ since, as she puts it, she is 89 years old & doesn’t need anything…  BOO!

So, I decided to get her stuff she can use – like toilet paper & Prevacid.  (Yes, BORING!)

Anyway, these Prevacid’s were $27.00 each with a $5 Up Reward.  I bought two (obviously) and used a $7.00/2 coupon that was in Sunday’s newspaper (it was kismet). 

The best part, unbeknownst to me, Rite Aid was giving away free Up Rewards when you spend over $50.00 as part of their Christmas Deal. 

So, in the end, I spent $47 dollars on two packages of Prevacid & got back $20.00 towards a future purchase. 

Nice!  ‘Tis the season!

So, I love Old Navy stuff.  I got great deals, but I bet if you shop clearance, you could do better….  I also used my Old Navy Cash, total out of pocket was 50 bucks….

Total Saved : $40.00

Well, the boys and I had fun at Target.  They have some really cute crafts (more on that tomorrow).  But, I used my coupons like a good girl & saved over 7 bucks!

Not a bad way to spend 12 bucks, right?

I braved the mall with two kids to use my 30% off coupon… and boy was I glad I did!  (although look at this picture!!! BOOO!! What was I trying to capture?!)

 So, my total was just over $100 bucks but I also got $30 off my next $60+ order….

Note : I got 2 winter jackets, 1 decent warm jacket, 3 Licensed T-Shirts, 2 shirts for me & water bottles…. oh & a pair of pants for Max. 

My recipet says I saved 118.38 on my order.  The actual savings I got with the coupon, though, was $43.82.  Can we say SCORE?

I heart Target coupons

 All for under $10.00

It has been a while since I posted what I bought!
