Cover Girl Blast!

Have you tried Cover Girl's new Smoky ShadowBlast or ShineBlast Lip Gloss? Well as a bzzagent I was able to try this product out for free! (Thanks Bzz!) I loved the colors that I received in the mail. I have now tried it out a few times and what I like about it was the ease of putting on my eye shadow without a brush. The colors went perfectly together. However, I seem to have a hard time keeping make up to stay on my face so it came off not too long into my day because it isn't a powder it's a cream. All in all I would say give it a try, you will like the product. I have a coupon too, so let me know if you are interested in Cover Girl's new Smoky Shadow Blast or Shine Blast Lip Gloss!

Bzz-Bzz Children's Claritin!

Living in Florida has been a struggle this year with record high pollen counts. Thankfully I was introduced to Children's Claritin, thanks to BzzAgent, for my daughter's who have seasonal and indoor allergies. I hate sending my oldest daughter to school with a runny nose because she isn't sick so Claritin has been great. No more runny nose and she is off to school! So if you are looking for an easy remedy to allergies for your children, give this a try...and let me know if you want a coupon, being a BzzAgent has great perks, not just for me...but for my friends as well!

Back at it!

Ok so I have had a few people ask me about posting on this blog so I am going to start adding things here and there more often!

Let's start with some great deals at Publix lately thanks to an amazing website, www.iheartpublix.com, they are awesome when it comes to putting deals together. I'm going to try to have some fun and take pics of my deals, just to make it a little more fun to see what the deals look like!

I recently did a deal a couple weeks ago where I spent around $18 and saved about $200, I lost my receipt so I don't have the exact amounts, but it was around that. I ended up with 12 bottles of A-1 Steak Sauce, 16 bottles of Kraft dressing and 8 bottles of Kraft BBQ sauce. I gave away a few A-1 sauces and some Kraft dressings, but for the most part I think we will go through these things before they expire :) These deals were money makers so it really helped towards my other purchases.

This current sales week I have been loving the hot dog deal. Our Publix takes Albertson's coupons and with Albertson's doing Buy 1 get TWO free on Ball Park franks this week...I've been going a little crazy. So here is the deal I've been doing.

$12.00 Buy 6 Ball Park Franks (Beef ones regular price is 2/$4)

- 8.00 Albertson's B1G2 coupon

- 3.00 Red Plum Coupon for $1/2 (I had 3 of them...obviously)

$ 1.00 TOTAL PRICE ON 6 PACKS!!!

So far I have done this deal 3 times, however I also had 7 coupons for a pack of FREE Sara Lee Hot Dog buns when you buy 2 packs of Ball Park Franks. Thank goodness for that coupon!

So let's see the even sweeter deal...

$ 36.00 Bought 18 packs of Ball Park Franks

$ 15.33 Bought 7 packs of Sara Lee Hot Dog buns

- 24.00 Albertson's B1G2 ( had 6 of those)

- 9.00 Red Plum Coupon $1/2 (had 9 of those)

-15.33 Sara Lee coupon WYB 2 Ball Park Franks

$3.00 For all of that!!! Loving it!!!

Here is a picture of my hot dogs & buns in my new 7.0 cu. ft. deep freezer...which I am loving by the way! So far I don't have a ton in it, here is what I have! I'm going back this week for 26 more packs of hot dogs! I think we will actually go through a lo

t this summer, the girls love eating them and they will be great when we got to some summer bbq's!

Keep visiting as I will try to keep you posted on my great deals!

All of this meat below was purchased at Publix using the Albertsons B1G2 coupon!

Double Dippin' at Walgreens!

Ok so yesterday I was able to get some great shopping in at Walgreens. They had a couple awesome deals to get and I was lucky enough to partake :)

Here is what I did in my last transaction...

2 Bio Infusion Shampoo/Conditioner $20.00
10 Bic Soleil Razor Systems/Cartridges $34.95 (they were on sale starting 11/21 for 2/$6.99)
3 Crest Spin Pro Toothbrush $14.97 (on sale for $4.99...reg. $7.99) I had 4, but gave one coupon to Brenda to be nice...I'll remember that Brenda :) LOL

1 pack of Energizer Batteries $8.49

1 Pez Dispenser for Kaylie $1.79

1 Pez Refill pack for Kaylie $1.79

Here is the good part...

-$30 Bic Soleil IVC November ($3 off each)
-$12 Bic Mfg coupon (I had 4 coupons for $3 each)
-$1 Bic Mfg. coupon (I had 1 of these from a package)
-$6 Crest Mfg. coupon (I had 3 coupons for $2 each)
-$9 Crest IVC December ($3 off each)

-$1 Energizer Mfg. coupon on package

-$2 Energizer IVC coupon December

Total cost $122.67
Less Coupons -62.00

Less Advertised Sales -44.93

Total $15.74 (put this on a gift card...so no OOP)

Less Rebate -10.00

I actually had a money maker deal on the Bic Razors, I could have broken even by getting 2 more razors, but I wanted an overage to purchase a couple other cheap things for Kaylie and to try not to stand out at the check stand!

This trip my receipt said I had a total savings of $112.93, so that is pretty exciting to me! I think this was a favorite shopping trip for me. The total regular retail price on these items is $218.79.

Here is a picture of all my deals from today! 4 Shampoo's, 4 Conditioners, 3 Toothbrushes, 5 Razor Systems, 5 Cartridge packs and not pictured I bought my last free item for the month (L'Oreal skin care)....total for all of these today (I used some RR's to pay).... $56.93, I put it all on a gift card and I will get back $59.99, so I actually made money on this altogether.

Money Maker of $3.03

If you are at all confused by this....well I was also confused typing it!

By the way, all of those Walgreens diapers....so far they suck! I hated the newborn size, they reminded me of the commerical where they compare the baby to a brick and that the "other" diaper fits bricks not babies. Anyway, size 1 just doesn't seem to fit him right. Luckily I have a pack of Huggies size 1 from my friend that I am using....they are a little big, but working great for me!

Guess what I paid???

Ok so I made yet another trip to CVS today, but this time I hit the clearance section in Haines City, FL. The total value of everything in this picture is $317.03, so sent me a guess on what you think I paid for all of this. I had to take a picture of everything as I unloaded it into my box.... I don't think a small box will work for me. I am currently putting all of these things into my double stroller box. :)

By the way, this is stuff for our Bingo Christmas.....

Walgreens Double Dip Deals

Stockpile so far!

Ok so I had to clean out my bathroom closet. It was getting too full from all of my stockpile purcahses. So while I cleaned it out...I decided that I would also take some pictures of what I have. It is of course not everything, but it's what I have for HBA. I still had my reciepts so I was able to figure out prices of everything in each picture...





12 items= $2.60














21 items= $11.55













19 items= $16.88













8 items= $3.50













23 items= $2.31







My total for everything in all of these pictures was $36.48. That total sounds like a lot, but here are my pics...you make the judgement call :) These prices take into account all coupons and ECB's received as if I was counting the ECB's towards these purchases....and not counting them towards the next, just to give you an idea. The totals given are for all items in the picture, not each.
