Shopping the last day of 2009

I had a lot of coupon/deals I wanted to do that were expiring today so I headed out to Walgreen's and CVS this morning. My first stop was Walgreen's. The total of all this would have been $63.xxx without sales and coupons. After sales/coupons I paid $20.27 OOP, but I got back $16 in register rewards........so I paid $4.27 for all of this......good deal to me. Next stop was CVS. My total before sales/coupons would have been $51.xxx. My total OOP after sales/coupons was $17.44 and I got back $8 in extra care bucks......so I spent $9.44 for all the stuff below.........BUT......the very best part is I am mailing in a rebate to get $15 back (olay)......so I made money on this deal.

My last stop was to another Walgreen's because the first store was out of neosporin. My total before sales and coupons was $22.38. I paid $4 OOP, but I got back $7 in register rewards. I made money on this deal too!!!!!!! A very good way to end the year:)

75% off Christmas clearance

I went to Target this morning and they had changed to 75% off!!!!! I had set a goal not to buy anything until they went to 75% off and I did it. Not every Target has gone to 75% off so be patient. A few tips

• look other places for Christmas items besides the designated place.....example I found Hello kitty make-up items for young girls in the make-up section. Some of the packaging had Chritmas so I scanned it and it was 75% off
• look in the paper goods for holiday paper towels, ziplocs, tissues, etc....look in the food items for holiday marked foods. I got a pack of oreos for .67 cents because they had snowflakes on them.
• look in the clothing for holiday clothes, socks, etc...
• Candy- they have they Christmas books of Hubba Bubba gum, Life savers etc....these are individually wrapped package's inside the box book that can be taken out and used for Easter basket fillers.

WAL-Mart

My Wal-mart is still 50% off but you can find a few good deals. Wal-mart tends to have a lot of kids bath items.....GI Joe, Hannah Montana, Disney Princess, etc.... that is not marked holiday but is 50% off. Think outside the box. These would be great Easter basket fillers or gifts to fill a Valentine bag.....think ahead

$1.80 note cards shipped

I just ordered these cute personalized stationary note cards from www.expressionery.com. Of course they will have my name and not have the "last chance" on them.....lol. I got a set of 25 for $1.93 shipped. Just use the code: madness to take 70% off of the already reduced clearance price and shipping is free too. These were originally $27.50, then marked down to $6.00 , then $1.80 after discount code (madness) and .13 cents tax. Just go to clearance and look thru all the pages for the last chance items for the best deals.

Inexpensive date night

Tonight we were kid free (kids with grandparents) so we decided to go out. We went to dinner then to the movies. We used passes we got free from General Mills cereal boxes. They were specially marked boxes that you collected and got free movie passes.....so we saved $20 tonight.

We went and saw Blind Side which I highly recommend. Very Good movie. You can see the trailer here.

Winn-Dixie Meal Deal

Wednesday Dec 30th-Jan 5th Winn Dixie is is doing their Meal Deal again. This time the deal is

• Buy 2 Tombstone Pizzas (priced 2/$11.58)

Then you get the following items free:

• Winn Dixie garlic bread sticks
• Farm Rich mozzarella sticks

This is a great deal......maybe not so great on the diet, but.......

Benefit Beauty kit $10 ($30 value)

Sephora has a great deal on this Benefit beauty kit at $10. I love Benefit make up. It is one

of the things I do splurge on. I bought a lot right before my wedding and I'm hooked:)

Thanks, Mimi's tool box of tips and treasures.

Free taco from Taco Bell

Taco bell is offering a coupon for a free fresco taco. Print yours here. Offer good thru 1/3/10. This is good because the kids are out of school. I can go get us a cheap lunch.

9 cent prints at Walgreen's

This is great for all the holiday pics I need to print. Upload your pictures to Walgreens.com and then use the code 9cents at checkout. make sure to pick your pictures up in your local store to avoid shipping charges. You can also walk into Walgreens and upload your pics, but I find it much easier to do at home where my kids are contained.

$10 off at Bath and Body works

Bath and Body Works has a $10 of $40 purchase coupon you can print here. I got a gift card for Christmas and there is a big sale going on.
