More Sunscreen Coupons!

UPDATE: Here is another great coupon for you! Go here for a $3/1 Coppertone Sun Care product - this should make for some really inexpensive sunscreen when paired with a sale and it appears that you can print it as many times as you want!

Seems that this must be the hot item for this week! Here are some more sunscreen coupons to print and deals to be had!

Coppertone Sunscreen, Use the $1 coupon from here, IE or Firefox)
Use these at Target to purchase the trial sized tubes for $.99 each, making them FREE after coupon!

Hawaiian Tropic - Buy One Get One Free at Walgreens
Prices starting at $8.49
Use 2 $2 coupons from here, IE or Firefox
Final cost ONLY $4.49/2, just $2.25 each! (Thanks Hip 2 Save!)

Banana Boat- Buy One Get One Free at Walgreens
Prices starting at $8.49
Use 2 $2 coupons from here
Final cost $4.49/2, just $2.25 each! (Thanks Hip 2 Save!)

Sunscreen Days are Here Again!

Since my sunscreen stash is almost depleted, I have been looking for the best prices and coupon match ups for this week. I buy Neutrogena for my kiddos (they are VERY sensitive to sunscreen and this is the ONLY brand that doesn't make their face all red and puffy!) and it is typically about $9 a bottle! I have been squeezing out the last few drops from last year's bottle, hoping for a sale to come along, and I think I have found it!! Thanks to Hip 2 Save! for posting this great deal at CVS:

WOW! There is a SUPER HOT moneymaker at CVS this week! In the weekly deals I mentioned the Neutrogena Extra Care Buck deal: Buy 2 Neutrogena Sun Care products and get a $10 Extra Care Buck. Well, apparently purchasing 2 of the Neutrogena Ultra Sheer SPF 55 (1 oz.) will generate the $10 Extra Care Buck. These are ONLY priced at $1.99, so buy 2 for a total of $3.98 and get back a $10Ecb. Final cost FREE + a $6 moneymaker! Yay!

My plan is to get in on this money maker and then use my $10 in ECB to purchase two full-sized bottles of sunscreen. That way, I get the most sunscreen for the least out of pocket expense! (I also really love these little tubes to stick in the diaper bag or my purse for unplanned outdoor excursions!)

Last Week's Deal-ios

Levi had a doctor's appointment on Thursday and though I did not have the energy to take the kids on a "big" shopping trip, I decided to make a couple of stops to see if I could find some good deals. First, we stopped at Walgreens where I got almost FREE baby wipes and then we went next door to CVS where I also did AMAZING, spending just over $1.00!!! Our final deal of the day was at Payless, where I got a pair of the croc-like shoes for Drew for just $2.14!! On Saturday we headed out for a day of haircuts and errands with daddy and the kids in tow. It actually went pretty smoothly at Target where Michael and I each loaded up a cart and then checked out in two seperate transactions as to not "over-do" it with too many coupons in one transaction. We also made a trip into Walgreens where I stocked up on bug spray for the year (they are terrible at our house already!) Check out my pics below to see how I did!

*On a side note, I probably will not do much shopping this week as Michael and I are headed to Des Moines on Friday for a friend's wedding, so I would much rather save up for a trip to Children's Place, just in case we have a little down time and need something to do!! If I see any great deals at Hy-Vee or Fareway tomorrow morning or any great coupon match-ups I will try and let you know so that you all can get in on the deals!

Another Kraft Cheese Coupon!

Thanks to Ginger at Attention Target Shoppers for posting this great Kraft Cheese coupon!

$1.00/1 printable - make sure to print two of these!

You can also find a $1/1 Kraft coupon here if you didn't print it earlier, and you can find a $1/2 coupon here from earlier.

Remember - Target has a coupon here for $1/2 Kraft cheese shreds or chunks, that you can use with the great manufacturer coupons, but it is only good until tomorrow, May 23rd, so get in and get yourself some $.59 cheese while you can!!

Holy Hot Dogs!

I just found a new link for yet ANOTHER $1/2 Bar S Products! Just enter your first and last name and e-mail address and it will take you to your coupon - remember to hit your back arrow to print it twice! Also note that I Googled how long you can freeze hot dogs and bologna and according to the USDA, you can freeze them for one to two months. (I'm thinking three or four sounds better). The good news is that these new coupons have an expiriation date of 7/31/09, so you can save them until later this summer! Happy hot dog day!

More Dog Deals!

Here is another great hot dog deal thanks to Hip 2 Save! I have seen these for sale at Hy-Vee, Walmart and Fareway for $.88 a package the last couple of weeks, making them just $.38 a package after coupon! Did I mention that my family is eating hot dogs ALL SUMMER after the new baby arrives? That and cereal, of course!

Coupons.com just rolled out a great new coupon! Save $1 on the purchase of ANY 2 Bar-S products! Walmart has Bars-S hot dogs (in some regions) on roll back 2/$1... which makes them FREE after the coupon. Other areas have these priced around $1 each, so just .50 after the coupon!

*Don't forget to print additional $1/2 Bar-S coupons here, IE or Firefox! Plus, there is also a Bar-S coupon available in the 5/10 Red Plum insert! Time to stock up for grilling season!!

I know we could sure put that to good use around here! Anyway, I registered right away and then spent some time checking out the new program. It actually looks pretty cool. When you register, you get 10 points right away. Then, it appears that a lot of the bloggers post codes from time to time that you can enter on the Huggies site to win even more points! The best part: You can use the codes to enter differnet sweepstakes (like a spa vacation or $500 cash) or you can use them to enter instant win games (a $25 Visa gift card or $10 Subway card, etc.)! Sounds pretty great to me! So, I will post the codes that I find on here, and I would love it if you all would help add to the list and leave me comments with any codes that you might find in your searching! Let's all win some free stuff, huh?!?! Here are the codes that I have found so far:

86 Coupons Later.....

That's right...I used 86 coupons in one transaction at Target today. Now I know that may be pushing the limit, but in my defense, the store was NOT busy, there were NO lines, and after my extremely long glucola test this morning, I really didn't feel like making multiple trips in and out of the store.

My Frugalicious Stockpile!!!

I realize that I post on here about my great deals and show you guys what I buy each week, but I wanted to really SHOW you how much I have been able to stockpile since I started this couponing journey in March. I am truly amazed at how many cleaning supplies, diapers, toiletries and groceries I have been able to purchase each week, and all for under $100/week. In fact, I am so stockpiled now that for the past three weeks I have only spent between $50-75/week and my stockpile has still grown! I am hoping to stick with the $50-75 budget and put a little more into savings each week. We are eating more brand name foods and using more brand name products, and our pantry and freezers are FULL! Before couponing, I would easily spend $200/week and it would barely be enough to get us by until the next shopping trip. Now I could plan a whole month's worth of meals based on what we already have on hand! Check out my fully-stocked cabinets, closets, and pantry below!






Eight stops, three kids, two meals and SIX HOURS later.....

Once again (not sure why I do it to myself) I decided that I could manage another shopping/errand day with the kids in tow. We did manage and we were able to get a lot of things accomplished, but everyone in this house is TIRED!!! I'm thinking maybe a 6:30 bedtime for the kiddos?!? We left home a little before 8:00 and headed for Walgreens. From there we went to Fareway, the C.F. CVS, the can redemption center (which took 45 LONG minutes!), Hy-Vee, the hospital (where I had to get a Rho-gam shot and found out that I failed my 1 hour glucola test so I have to go back on Monday for the four hour test...YUCK!!!!), Target, and then finally to the Waterloo CVS. During our outing we had breakfast in the car, snacks in the car and lunch in the car. (I don't do this for money saving reasons, I do it because it is NOT FUN to take 3 kids into any kind of restaurant - fast food or otherwise!) As you will see, we did REALLY WELL (and will most likely be spending some extra money at the dentist in coming years due to the ridiculous amount of super-sugary cereal we will be consuming over the next several months)!
