Forget Paying High Dollar for Eggos .. Use Buttermilk

I love to buy buttermilk at the grocery store to make some homemade waffles for the kids. They would eat them every morning if they could. I usually look for the manager's special making it cheaper, but this carton is $3.49 and I had a save $.55 on any "real california milk" product which doubled to make it only $2.49. It takes a little time cooking them all, but in the end...each bag holds from 14-18 waffles and I have 4 gallon freezer bags full!

Rite Aid Trip 9/26

I wanted to take advantage of the Olay (Buy $30, get $10 UPs in rewards...Plus Olay was BOGO 50%). Here's my scenario. It was weird b/c I had planned on using 2 $3 off coupons for the lotion/cleaner (one from the P&G insert and one from a mailer...the mailer worked).

$21.99 - Eye Roller
-19.99 - Free from Sept P&G w/ purchase of 2 moisturizers/cleaners

$7.99 - Regenerist Cleanser
-1.00 - From P&G Sept insert

$4.49 - Moisturizer
-3.00 - Home mailer Q

$2.58 - tax
-5.00 - $5/$25
-5.00 - UPS
$3.06 OOP

Saved $33.99

One more Stop by CVS this week! 9/22 Trip

Well, I had a $4 off $20 purchase and wanted to use it before I lost it. Next week doesn't look so promising and I still have another $4 off $20 purchase to use before 10/03. I also heard that some CVS stores had some laundry detergent and stuff on major clearance, so I wanted to hit up my local store to see if I could score some. I did find some Diego bandaids on clearance for $0.85, usually $3.59 (note: there were only 20 in there! Are you kidding me?) But I got them free plus overage. Here's the breakdown:

$0.85 - Clearance bandaids
$0.85 - Clearance bandaids
$0.99 - Travel Kit to use coupon
$5.99 - Relvon Double Twist Mascara (Get back $5 )
$5.99 - Relvon Double Twist Mascara (Get back $5)
$5.99 - Relvon Double Twist Mascara Dbl Pack (Get back $5)
$1.72 - Tax

-2.00 - (2) $1 off one Revlon (only had 2)
-3.00 - $3 off 3 J&J bandaid
-4.00 - $4 off $20 purchase
-16.00 - ECB's
$0.38 OOP

Saved $39.18 and I got back $15 in ECB's
I thought he scanned my bag tag, but I don't think he did. I will get $1 back next time for the tag.

Not too bad! I won't need mascara for a year or maybe longer!

Rite Aid ~ 9/19 Trip

This week was score for me. I ended up doing the diaper deal from Deal Seeking Mom (found here) twice! Each time I got back $6 Ups rewards (which I rolled into the next transaction) for the diapers and I have submitted for a $10 Gift Card for purchasing $25 in Kimberly-Clark Rebate through their Single Check Rebate program!

So basically, I got 6 packs of jumbo size Huggies Pure & Natural (priced $8.99 ea) for $17.78 Total OOP (That equals $2.96 a pack)! Then I will get $10 to spend next month to lower my OOP and I got $6 UPs for next trip.

I also did a 3rd transaction...(heard a tip to check the Flameless Candles)

$15.96 - 4 Flameless Candles on Clearance 75% off @ $3.99 ea
-16.00 - $4/1 from P&G insert

$3.98 - 2 Quaker Oats (get $1 UPS for each)

$2.99 - Listerine Zero

$2.99 - Oral B toothbrush

-5.00 - Ups ($3 & $2 Ups added to much...I didn't get to use $3.75 in MFQ's)

$1.31 - Tax
$ 1.23 OOP

Got back $2 for each Quaker Oats, $2 for Oral B toothbrush, $1 for Listerine Zero
Plus, the Listerine and toothbrush will finish my qualifying products to get another rebate =D

$54.90 in Wellness+ Savings
$26.00 in Total Coupon Savings

Lesson learned...I need to do my math and I could have saved my $3 Ups and used the MFQ. I was just excited that I found the candles for free so I didn't have to buy hair dye to roll my UPs.
