Walgreens Show & Tell (September 30th)

Rolling Register Rewards is an artform. I feel like I'm pretty good at it, but how many artists create true masterpieces with 3 preschoolers going "Momma, Momma, Momma!" and touching everything and crying about having to sit in the cart and begging for Spiderman Toothpaste? :D

You can see most of the coupon matchups HERE.

Transaction #1:

So I actually made a profit of .81 for the day! Not a masterpiece, but a fairly impressive little Paint-by-Number! Hehe...

As you can see, I'm using the small Hunt's Tomato Sauce and the Butterball Chicken Broth as my fillers. They are items that we definitely need and use. The tomato sauce is 39 cents and the broth is 50 cents--but you HAVE to scan the in-ad coupon to get that price.

Kroger Show & Tell (Mega Sale Finals)

The BBQ sauce is Buy 4 Get 2 FREE. I didn't have any coupons for the BBQ sauce, but I had old tearpad coupons for $2 off meat when you buy 2 of the BBQ sauces. Spending $4 on BBQ sauce got me $6 off meat.

The Kiwi Express Shine thingies are marked down to .99 at my store (black & white only). I used $1 Manufacturer's coupons from the 7/12 Red Plum insert.

I also used 2 $3.50 Off Your Next Order coupons.

Target Show & Tell (September 2nd)

I don't post about Target very often, but I have a feeling that may be changing! I've always liked Target, but it gets better: Target has a new price-matching policy! WOOHOO! And considering that they are SO VERY Coupon-Friendly, I think I'll just move right on in! (Cause, you know I HATE dislike Wal-Mart...)

You can print Target coupons HERE and use them WITH the manufacturer's coupons for extra savings.

I'll try to post more about this soon, but here is how I did today:

CVS Show & Tell (April 3rd)

I popped in today to grab the Scrubbing Bubbles Action Scrubbers.

$2.99 each

used (2) $2.75 IP's HERE

Final Price: .24 each

You have to pay sales tax on the coupon value, so my total was .90 which I paid on a gift card.

On a side note, remember the incident that led to me getting a new CVS card?

Bad news: Now that there's a very small purchase history, I'm not getting any good coupons on my receipts.

Good news: When they transferred my Winter spending, they gave me much more credit than I had actually spent! Maybe to appease me? Anywhoo, I just got my Winter Spending ExtraBuck Reward=$17.00!! YEEHAW!

Brookshire's Show & Tell (April 3rd)

@#%!#^%@$^!%$#@&!!#*%(@*%$&@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



That was me whining, crying, throwing a hissy fit and stomping my feet...



On the inside.



I had another cashier manually enter my IP's so they wouldn't double or triple. Again, I say that they absolutely have the right to do so when the coupon clearly states "Do not Double or Triple"--but can I just mourn for a moment about it? *tear, sigh, sob*



OK, I'm done!

My transaction would've only subtotaled .16 if the IP's had tripled like they usually do.

You can find most of the coupon matches HERE.

The Mahatma rice was FREE with the .50 MQ from 3/1.

The La Victoria enchilada sauce was FREE with the .50 IP HERE.
