This was probably my best week yet at Rite Aid! I love getting things my family will use (my husband is really good about using whatever I buy, but Old Spice is by far his favorite brand) for next to nothing. As a SAHM, I feel it's part of my job to be a good steward of the money my husband earns. Shopping with coupons enables me to do that!

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-26-11

While the kids napped this afternoon (I said this last week, and my husband asked me "You think you should tell them I was home with the kids so they don't think you left them alone?". So let me say - I did not leave the kids alone - their Dad was home while they napped. There, honey - is that better? :-) ) Anyway, while the kids napped, I headed out to CVS and Rite Aid to pick up a few things. My first stop was CVS. I didn't get much, but they didn't really have any super great deals that I wanted. I started with $10.00 ECB's. I only did one transaction.

1 RepHresh Brilliant Tampons (reg. price $6.99, on sale for $6.79 - buy 1, get $6.79 ECB's)
2 Pantene products (reg. price $4.99 each, on sale for 2/$6.97 - buy 2, get $2.00 ECB's)

$10.00 ECB's from last week (reduced to $9.76)

Total after sale prices and coupons - $0.00 + tax

I earned $8.79 ECB's for this transaction as well! Not a great week, but not too bad!

$7.00

After our late night last night (we didn't get home from the Drive-In 'til almost midnight - we haven't done that in YEARS! BTW, Cars 2 was a cute movie, but not as good as the first one), we slept in this morning and got a late start on the yard sales. We finally left the house at about 10:00 this morning, so I'm sure we missed some of the deals. We still managed to snag a few good bargains, though!

$5.00 - A toolbox for my husband. Because a man can never have too many toolboxes. They were asking $10.00 for it, and the woman told my husband, "That has your name written all over it". He said, "For $5.00, it does!" And it did!

$2.00 - Two Disney "learn to draw" books and a Kidz Bop CD (all for my nephew) and a free hand pen for my son (he thought this was a Handy Helper from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!). Note to self: Must disable the pen part of it!

Free - Two cute dresses for my daughter for this winter! The people we bought the toolbox from were packing up for the day, so she threw these in for free! Yay!!

We were such big spenders today! I'm hoping for some good sales next weekend since it's the 4th of July weekend and a lot of people will be off work! Did ya'll find anything good today?

It's Friday again, which means the kiddos and I headed out this morning to hit a few yard sales! We didn't go to many, but still managed to score some deals!

$4.00 - A Ride Along with Thomas activity book and a 'Mater shake and roll truck for my son! He's super excited because we are taking him to see Cars 2 tonight with some friends of ours, so this was a great find!

$2.00 - Two Christmas topiaries and a set of three mirrors. All of these will go thru drastic changes before they are used!

$1.60 - Three kids CD's, a brand-new candle, a brand-new Mary Kay facial mask and two large plastic cups (these are perfect for playing with at our local splash pad - especially since, when we were there yesterday, we broke one and gave another one away).

So there you have it - my finds for today! We are planning on heading out again tomorrow - but not too early! Like I said, we are taking our son to see Cars 2 tonight, but it's at our local Drive-In, so the movie won't start until dark. We'll likely sleep in a little bit tomorrow!

Have a great weekend, ya'll!

Rite Aid Value Videos

It's a rainy day here in East Tennessee. It's been a great morning to play with the kids inside, catch up on some housework and finally finish watching my Rite Aid Value Videos for June.

Do you know about Rite Aid Value Videos? If not, you're missing out on a gold mine of coupons! Each month, Rite Aid puts out coupons (only good at Rite Aid) for watching short videos about certain products. These coupons can be combined with manufacturer's coupons to make for some great deals at Rite Aid! All you have to do is sign up and start watching the videos, then print the coupons you want. You don't have to print the coupons right away. For example, the videos for the June Value Videos must be watched by June 25th, but the coupons can be printed and/or used until the end of July.

Most of the videos are very short (30 seconds or less). There are a few that are longer, but not many. I watch all the videos every month, regardless of whether or not I think I will need the coupon. It takes very little time (I did it this morning while playing in the floor with my kids), and you never know when a product you may not need will turn into a money maker. At the end of each video, you must put in a "captcha" to verify that you are actually a human and have viewed the videos. I actually turn the volume on my computer to "mute" while I am doing it and just put in the captcha at the end.

My Wal-Mart Shopping Trip 6-21-11

After my daughter's nap this morning, I headed out to Wal-mart to do my shopping there. Again, this is a "normal" shopping trip. I bought things that we needed, and I used several coupons that were about to expire on things I use that very rarely go on sale. Here's what I bought:

1 24-pk Great Value brand bottled water ($2.97)
1 can Black Flag insect killer ($2.92)
1 pack Great Value brand paper plates ($1.82)
2 boxes Hawaiian Punch drink mix - the kind you add to bottled water ($1.00 each)

1 pack Poise panty liners ($2.72)
1 travel size Playtex feminine cleansing cloths ($1.50)

I used the following coupons:

My total after before coupons was $77.92 + tax. After coupons and sales tax, I spent $55.27. While typing this up and doing the math, I realized one of my $1.00 off coupons didn't scan! Since I have no way of knowing which one, I guess I am out that money, but I will be sure to be more careful next time! I still got some pretty good deals, and I was able to stock up on some things my family uses and get some items for donation as well!

My Kroger Shopping Trip 6-21-11


Normally here on Tennessee Coupon Queen, I highlight by drug store shopping trips and those where I spend very little out of pocket. Unless my family plans to eat toothpaste and diapers for dinner, I have to do "regular" grocery shopping, too. So today, I decided to tell you what I bought and spent (and saved!) today at Kroger. The prices listed are after my Kroger Plus savings. Here was my shopping list (I know it may not seemed like a well-balanced list in terms of meals, but this is what we needed this week and/or had good coupons for):

2 one-half gallons of Turkey Hill Lemonade ($1.99, B1G1)

My Rite Aid Shopping Trip 6-20-11

When I was at Rite Aid yesterday, I wanted to purchase 2 of the St. Joseph's Aspirins that were on sale for $1.50 with $1.50 UP+ Rewards; however, they only had one in stock. I had to go to another town this morning, so I stopped by the Rite Aid there in hopes they would have them, and they did! Here's what I bought:

1 St. Joseph's Aspirin (reg. price $2.29, on sale for $1.50 - buy 1, get $1.50 UP+ Rewards)

Total before sale prices applied - $2.29

Total after sale prices - $1.50

I used the $1.50 UP+ Reward from my St. Joseph's Aspirin purchase yesterday.

Total after sales and coupons - $0.00 + tax

I earned $1.50 UP+ Rewards for this transaction. I still have $11.48 UP+ Rewards to use next week!

NOTE: I have said before I only buy things I know my family will use or we can donate. My motto is "It's not about how much you save, but how much you spend". This is one of the items I will put back to donate. Several members of my church take a mission trip to Haiti each year, and this will go to the stash of things to send with them. I encourage you to find an organization or mission project to donate to as well!

Free Sample of Jif To Go Peanut Butter

Target has a free sample of Jif To Go Peanut Butter on their website right now! This won't last long, so hurry and get yours now!

My CVS Shopping Trip 6-19-11


After I left Rite Aid this afternoon, I headed to CVS. Again, shopping along is a rare treat for me! I was in and out in no time! I started with $8.00 in ECB's from last week. I did three transactions today. Here's the breakdown of what I bought:

Transaction #1
1 Hershey's Bliss chocolates (reg. price $5.99 - buy 1, get $5.99 ECB's)

Total after sales and coupons - $15.55 + tax

I earned $10.00 ECB's from this transaction. NOTE: I made a mistake on the Colgate 360 TB. I thought the $2.00 ECB would print, but it didn't. I forgot that there was a limit of 2 on that deal, and I used both of mine for the toothpaste in transaction #2. I thought about returning it, but I don't think I will. I get such great deals at CVS, so it doesn't bother me that bad. It's one of those live and learn things, and I'll be sure to pay better attention next time.

Total retail value of all items - $64.09

Total OOP (out of pocket) price - $15.63 + tax

Plus, I have $10.00 ECB's towards my purchase next week!

$1.75

It was a sad, sad day for yard sales today. I don't know if it's because it's Father's Day weekend or what, but there weren't many deals to be had. I picked up a couple of things, but not much at all. Here's my sad little list:

$1.75 - A Leap Frog My First Leap Pad game for my son, a brand-new Elmo swim ring for him and a 3-disc set of 30 Minute Meals DVD's for me.

Yep, that's it. Oh, yeah - I got a toy school bus for my son out of a free box at one sale. That's it. Sad, huh? My husband did better than I did. He bought a Craftsman air compressor and a large, outdoor trash can.

Oh, well - maybe we'll have better luck next week! My husband and I are celebrating our 12th wedding anniversary tomorrow, and we are having a (very) rare by-ourselves-no-kids-allowed date night tonight! Chop House, here we come! Have a great weekend, ya'll!

Free Sample of Tidy Tots Potty Chair Liners


Do you have a little one still using the potty chair (like me)? Do you get tired of having to clean it out after they use it (like me)? The head on over here for a free sample of Tidy Tots Potty Chair Liners!

$26.00

So it's Friday again, and that means yard sales!! I woke up and checked Doppler Radar this morning and it showed rain all around us. I have never been so glad for them to be wrong! It turned out to be an overcast day - perfect for yard selling! I packed the kiddos up this morning and we hit the road. My best friend's neighborhood was having a sale, so we hit that first, then we hit another friend's sale. We scored some good deals! Check it out!

$2.00 - A brand new Elmo book and a brand new Tug & Giggle Bunny for my daughter, and a almost new bottle of Bath & Body Works lotion for me.

$8.00 - A brand new Moby Wrap! Score!! These retail for $39.95 on their website, and I had been wanting to try this wrap but haven't wanted to pay that price, so I have been sticking with my tried and true Baby Bjorn with my daughter. I am super excited about this find!

$3.00 - A brand new Children's Place dress (still had the tags on it), two shirt/skirt outfits and a long-sleeved shirt for my daughter. The dress will fit her now, but the others will be put up for next summer/winter.

$1.50 - Two learn-to-read/write Sesame Street workbooks for my son, a giraffe rattle toy for my daughter and a Thomas the Train umbrella for my son (not pictured because a not-to-be-named preschooler won't put it down long enough for me to take a picture of it!).

$11.50 - A TON of clothes for the kids! I scored four shirts and three pairs of jeans for my son and a ton of shirts for my daughter. All of the stuff for her will be put away for a couple of years, but when I find a good deal on name-brand clothes (Gap, Children's Place, Old Navy, etc.), I have no problem buying years in advance. Clothes are expensive, and I love being able to dress my kids well for not a lot of money. I even scored a super-cute dress for me!

So there you have it, friends - my finds today. I spent a total of $26.00 on my loot - not bad considering the Moby Wrap retails for much more than that alone! My husband and I are planning on heading out again in the morning (it didn't work out for us last week, thus the reason there was no Saturday post detailing my finds). Hope ya'll have a great Friday night and find some great deals tomorrow!
