Free Sponges and Lipton Ice Tea

Target has Lipton Ice Tea 4 packs (the type you put into a water bottle) for .99. They also have some O-cello sponges on clearance for .99. If you go here there are coupons you can pint out for $1/1 each. You can type in 10 and it will print 10. The Liptons seem to be on hooks at the cash registers and the sponges are in the isle with the rest of the sponges (although a few of the Targets are sold out of these). So far I have been to 2 Targets, 10 Liptons each time so have 20 4packs of Lipton. Will post final totals later because I plan on doing a target loop and hitting 4 more in my area to see what I can get. But the plan is to have at least 50 of the 4-packs and any sponges I can find. Happy hunting.

Time filler shopping

A little shopping while killing time while daughter was at play practice. I really wish cashiers and managers would learn their own policies it really gets aggrivating. I had 4 $1 off internet coupons today and they wouldnt let me use them at Fry's when their policy says you can, but store manager didn't understand her own policy. Cost me 3 free boxes of Rice-A-Roni. Page 29 in training manual I found out and will know for next time.

CVS could have been better OOP, but I didn’t have coupon book with me for the proper fills. After both transactions I actually left with MORE in ECB than the ECB and OOP I used so both were actually money makers.

Not happy about this at all. My temper cost me money, the cashier rang up 5 of the coupons for the body wash wrong and she wouldn’t change it and instead of being calm and talking to manager I get all p’ed off and tell her she’s incompetent (she was) and paid and left. Cost me about $5.

First Day 4/20/08

OK so i got serious about couponing about 3 weeks ago and have been saving insane amounts of money. I decided I wanted to start tracking it so i thought this would be the best way to do so. I had a great week. I got 88 bottles of shampoo/conditioner, 30 boxes of Kraft Mac N Cheese, 10 boxes of jello, about 15 cans of tomato sauce and a few kleenex for under $13.50. Also had some insane savings at Fry's too. But I'm not going back and figuring out everything so for now on its from today forward. Here are my transactions today.
