Deal Divas II

"I
have 2 great cashiers at my Walgreens. They
never give me a hassle & help me out any way
that they can. This diaper deal was great
because I watch my great-nephew who is 1 every
week-end. Also had a new great nephew born in
Feb. I also make sure I buy the item off the
month from my favorite cashiers, they make me
happy, I make them happy, win, win situation.
here is what I bought & my totals: 10 Huggies
Diapers, 5 Huggies Wipes, 5 Acne Free, 10 Glade
Sense & Spray, 6 Glade Lasting Impressions, 6 Garnier Fructis, 7 Colgate, 3 Blink Tears, 4
Sambucol, 3 Vaseline Intensive Care Lotion, 1
Advil PM {for my sister}, 6 Orbit Gums, & 10
Whatchamacallits. Total $413.25 + $28.93 tax =
$442.18 - 321.15 in Manufacture & ESC - $118.50
RR + $2.53 after all coupons & register
rewards!!! Best time ever shopping." -
Marylyn Ehlers |
" Last
week, my sister called me up after we read that
CVS had 90% off on their perfume and other
Valentine's and miscellaneous items to see if I
wanted to go check a few of our local CVS. Of
course, the answer was yes! We ended up running
to at least 4 or 5 seperate CVS's. We spent
quite a bit of time price checking individual
items and loading up our carts when we found
things 90% off. I never tallied up what I spent
out of pocket (very little since I had a LOT of
ECBs to use) but I know at one store alone the
original prices were over $300 worth of stuff. I
ended up with a few cologne/perfume sets (the
most expensive was $3.49), several Essence of
Beauty bath robes that were $1.49 each,
fragrance sets that included Reed diffusers and
a candle for $1.49 each, Essence of Beauty bath
sets, individual reed diffusers, and an entire
laundry basket of Essence of Beauty lotions,
bubble baths, and body sprays along with several
other items I can't remember. I already divided
most of the loot up for Christmas gifts for
family members, kept a few things for myself,
gave my mom several items for showers and gifts
for our Christmas Bingo game, and stocked
several items in the basement for gifts/donation
items when I need them. It was one of the best
nights for bargain shopping ever!!" Dana

"This
is just a sample of the kinds of things you can
get in just two weeks, after collecting coupons,
matching sales, and joining Refundcents
of course. Most of this stuff was either free or
less than a dollar. I got the diapers and
pull-ups for less than $3 a piece, and the wipes
were $.99 each. With all these diapers and wipes
big sister can help mom change at least six
months worth of diapers. I don't know how we
ever made it without Refundcents! Here is
the list of what I got:
15 packs of Huggies diapers $2.92 each
2 packs of Huggies pull-ups $3.58 each
12 packs of Walgreens diapers and training pants
$2.50 each
13 packs Huggies wipes $.99 each
4 bottles Scrubbing Bubbles $.50 each
6 cans Skintimate $.99 each
7 bottles Irish Spring bodywash (1st bottle was
$4.49) the rest were FREE
10 bottles Garnier shampoo/conditioner FREE
1 bottle Suave kids shampoo FREE
1 bottle Suave lotion FREE
3 tubes Colgate Maxfresh toothpaste FREE
16 tubes Colgate Total toothpaste FREE (I
actually made a profit of $.51 per tube)
Woohoo!!! Thanks Refundcents!!!" ......Amy

"Here is our 9 year old daughter, Alyssa. She's
in front of my latest haul from Walgreens. I got
20 bottles of various Garnier Fructis shampoos,
conditioners and stylers MORE THAN FREE! These
were on sale for $2.99, I used $1 manufacturer
coupons and the Easy Saver booklet had $2
coupons. They paid me a penny for each of the 20
products! I am keeping about half and selling
the rest at my Spring Garage Sale. The Aquafresh
was 99cnts each with the Walgreens ad coupon. I
used four 75cnt coupons to get them for 24cnts
each. And the Colgate Total was more than free
with a $1.50 coupon from All You magazine and a
$2.50 coupon from the Easy Saver. I threw in 2
gallons of skim milk to make sure I had enough
items for coupons I was using. I also used a
$3.50 Register Reward coupon from last week to
bring the total down further. I had to stop
there because if I used anymore RR's, I would
eat into the tax and we all know that's a no-no
at Walgreens! I had a $20 Walgreen's Card, so I
actually had no out of pocket expense! I still
have $12.97 on that card and a $10 RR and a $2
RR from last week. I LOVE WALGREENS!" Jenny
Pape, IL |

"I love your site and look forward to your print
copy every month. This wasn't our best deal but
it's the first time I thought of submitting our
haul! This is one of my daughters, Danielle, she
is really excited about the hair products! This
is what we got in an afternoon trip to Schnucks
and Walgreens :
2 - Glade carpet freshners
1 - pkg. Super Pretzels
1 - pkg. Pupperoni dog treats
4 - pkgs. of cat treats
1 - can of Planters cashews

3 - pkgs. Orbit gum
1 - 4 pk. Bic Soleil razor refills
2 - bxs. Excedrin menstrual
1 - bx. Excedrin Back & Body
Total oop = $29.65. Would've been about $210.19
without coupons!" Dana L |
"Here
is a picture of the Huggies deal I've done this
week. I had my husband print off coupons at his
work, and went to the library to get even more
coupons. I've done the transaction 5 times. With
the coupons I spent $65 but then got $50 back in
register rewards. Only $15 for all these packs
of wipes and diapers! I got 4 of the
Glade Sense n Spray's for FREE as well
(sitting on top of the book case). I have gone
back each day and they continue to be out of
stock...I wanted to get more. I've also done the
rolling RR with the
Irish Spring body wash several times and
got 4 FREE bottles (not pictured)!"
Jill, MO
"I
did the Johnson & Johnson deal last week. I
spend $25 worth in products and got the $10 RR.
I did the transaction many times and used
coupons with each transaction. Got a steal of a
deal for all the baby wash, lotion, powder, oil.
The 5 Vaseline lotions to the left of the J&J I
got free. They were each clearanced to $1.89 and
each printed a $2 RR, so it was actually a money
maker!" Jill, MO |
"I'd
always bought Walgreens diapers for my son
because of their frequent deals. Recently I
realized that I can get name brand diapers on
sale, as well. So when this Huggies deal came
up, I was really excited. I went to two
different stores and this is what I walked away
with:
Four packs of Huggies Snug n Dry diapers
Four packs of Huggies Supreme Natural Fit
diapers
Three packs of Huggies wipes refills
Two Thingamajig candy bars
Three packs of Orbit gum
Two peanut butter eggs
Total before tax: $100.99
Saved using:
Eight $5 off coupons
Three $3 off coupons
$8 from the Walgreens activity book coupons
$4.30 on my Walgreens Prescription Savings Card
$20 in Register Rewards
$6 Caregivers Market rebate
Total saved: $87.30
Total out of pocket (including tax) $22.85
Yay for saving money!"
Naomi G |

"Okay this is a personal best!! And until I sat
down tonight I didn’t realize quite how well I’d
done! Admittedly, I spent a several hours until
the wee hours of the night organizing coupons
and factoring in if/what overages I might get in
order to make these deals really awesome. Also,
I called stores to see if they had certain items
in stock before making the trips. I had to
return to registers 3 times in addition to
checking out since RR's didn’t print and a
pricing error. But in the end I got 'em all
straightened out, and did very well!
Over 2 Days, 3 Stores, 2 States and 7 Orders I
got:
3 12 packs Sprite (2x $3rewards)
2 12 packs Dr Pepper
3 12 packs Coke
6 Sambucol cold/flu
*1 Carmex lip balm($2Reward)
1 one-touch Ultra glucose meter (to donate
fortunately!)
6 Glade sense N spray
8 Glade Lasting Impressions
*2 24 ct Aleve
*1 Excedrin Menst. 24ct
*1Wags 24ct Headache meds (FAR! $2.99)
1 Gillette Gamer razor ($4Reward)
*2 Colgate (2x3.50Reward)
8 bottles Fructus shampoo/conditioner
*5 dove trial deodorants
*11 dove bar soap (2x $10 Reg Reward)
*6 pks Revlon emery boards
4 Garnier Hair color
2 Nice n easy Hair color
1 Nice/easy perfect 10 Hair color
1 Jordana lip liner (filler! .99)
1-8 pack Scunci hair bands (filler! .50)
4 box wags tissues (fillers! 1.34ea)
1 Cadbury egg-yes, a filler…..
Altogether
$408.32 in purchases for $19.15. As I said A
PERSONAL BEST!" - Laurie D. |

"I was so thrilled to get those freebie Kraft
coupons from the online game!! I had no idea
that I even won so you can imagine my surprise
to get those coupons in the mail! So anyhow I
stopped in at CVS to take advantage of some
great deals going on the week of 2/1 - 2/7. I
found a great deal for all of us who routinely
get those CRT's for $10 off of a $50 order. I
purchased the Bayer Contour blood glucose
monitor for $30 and then grab $20 in fillers to
use an easy $10 off your entire purchase. (Now
don't forget that the Bayer monitor will be free
considering we just got a bunch of the
manufacturer's coupons for up to $30 off the
purchase of one.) So anyhow on this particular
order I did the following:
$ 30 Bayer Contour monitor
$15.96 4 packs of Stayfree pads
$1 for 2 Reeses Whips
$2.49 Excedrin
$3.99 Ritz crackers
$5.59 Planters cashews
=$59.03
Minus
-$30 Bayer
-$11 ECB's
-$1off 2 Reese's whips
-$5 for Planters cashews
-$3.99 for Ritz crackers
-$3.99 Stayfree BOGO Free
-$3.99 Stayfree BOGO Free
For a grand total of .06 out of pocket. Not too
bad considering we made a profit of $10.49 back
in ECB's for our next purchase!!" Jenn Gatz |

"I am so excited about the past 2 weeks worth of
deals. I got most of this stuff at WAGS with the
exception of the grill I got on clearance at
Kmart for $5. I didn't put everything in the
picture but most of it is. I spent about $150
oop and saved about $850. Not my best but I do
have $40 RR $38 in ESC rebates and $12.00 in
Marketplace rebates. I got 9 pks of diapers, 18
Garnier, 2 clearance Benefiber, 20 small
Gillette body wash free (target), 6 big Gillette
body wash free with the 6 packs of Fusion
razors, 8 Excedrin Menstral, 20 Well Patches on
clearance, 3 Degree deodorant on clearance, 9
Colgate toothpaste, 6 Pro Health toothpaste, 12
Glade oil refills BOGO and I also got a free
Plugin for each one, 3 Pepto Bismols, 8 Dove
soaps, 19 Irish Spring soap, 4 Mylanta free,
hair color free, 2 boxes of Wheat Thins and I
have a raincheck for 10 more. Menards is one of
our local hardware stores who has a lot of
rebate items. I spent $25 and will be getting it
all back in rebates. I got 3 lighters, 2 levels,
2 stain removers, 2 upholstery cleaners, 2 gas
treatments and 3 shelf liners." Stefanie

" Here
is my daughter showing off my great buys from
Walgreens and Kroger.
My favorite deal was the
Kelloggs
Cereal, 3/$8.00 Kelloggs Cereal -$4.00
instant Store coupon when you
purchase 3 boxes, PLUS I used (3) $1/1 Kelloggs
manufacturer's coupons, making the cereal .33 a
box! Most of these items ended up being FREE
after sale prices and coupons,
FREE handsoap,
toilet
paper, shampoo,
hairspray,
hair
gel, Dawn,
Palmolive, (48) Reese's Whips........the
list goes on ,All of my purchases didn't even

like there is no tomorrow and my daughter gave
Reese's Whips to everyone in her class;0) Now
that I know the value of coupons, I cannot stand
to
make a purchase if I don't have a coupon for
it!" .....Tonya, MS |
" I

"Mmmmm….Coca Cola! My mommy got eight packs of
these at CVS for next to nothing! They were on
sale 4/$14, earn $10 ecb wyb $20. She used an
email coupon for $5 off $30 and a $3 ecb, about
$8 on a gift card and paid $14 OOP and received
$10 in ecb. What a deal!
The Stayfree were purchased at CVS with b1g1f
coupons. Each pack was $3.99 and get $2 ecb.
$3.99 x 4 = $15.96 (minus $3.99 x 2 = $7.98)
Total $7.98, received $8 ecb.
Mommy also got me a bunch of Beechnut Let’s Grow
meals at Walmart for $1.06 each. She used the
coupon for $1/1 and got these for only six cents
each. An entire meal for six cents, WOW!"
John son of Selena McGee, Alabama |
"I
just had to share a picture of our AWESOME
shopping trip to Publix today! Here is a
picture of my daughter, Haley, showing off our
groceries that we purchased for a whopping
$2.08~yes that is right two dollars and eight
cents! $1.23 of that was tax! Here is what we
got: 20 bags of green giant veggies, 4 boxes of
Post
cereals, 5 cans of
Betty
Crocker frosting, 1 2liter of Publix
brand soda. Our Publix stores here double
coupons up to and including 50c; so you can
really do well with matching sales with
coupons. I had coupons for everything I
bought. The veggies were 50% off ranging
in sale price from 89c-$1.19. For each bag that
was only 89c, I got 10c overage toward the rest
of my order! The frostings were on sale for 99c
and I had 50c coupons which doubled to be
FREE!!!!!! The cereal was bogof at $3.98. I
had coupons for $1/2. The 2 liter of soda was
the penny item for today. Publix offers an item
each week for 1 penny when you purchase $10
additional groceries. I also had a $5 off $25
coupon good at
Piggly Wiggly. Our Publix stores also
take competitors coupons; so you can really max
out those savings! After all was said and done,
I had over $36.00 worth of groceries for only
$2.08! I also found a form while in the store
for a $10 publix gift card when you purchase 15
green giant products; so guess what? I will be
sending the receipt in for another $10!!!! That
means Publix actual paid me to shop there
today! Gotta Love it!" - Rebecca V, AL |

"Hi. My name is Dawn and my family and I are new
to Refundcents.We have been couponing now for
about a year. We have not yet received our
subscription by mail and we can't wait to get
it. My husband loves to go grocery shopping now.
He enjoys walking out with a cart full and
saving half or more than it's total cost. It is
so much fun trying to see how much we can save.
Each week we try and beat our total savings from
the week before. My 11 year old step daughter
loves to see the receipts and see how much we
saved. She sometimes sits down and helps me cut
all my coupons. With working 40hr a week and a
mother to a three year old and step mom to an 11
year old keeps me pretty busy. So Thanks Again
for making my life a little easier with all of
your help. Here is our latest trips to
Shaw's and Stop and Shop. Our grand total was
$326.49 OOP was $75.05 And Our Total Savings was
$ 251.44 This has been our best savings ever. We
did make more than one trip to Shaw's had to
keep rolling those Cat's over. And we still have
a cat for $10.00 OYNO." Dawn H. |

"I had been gathering the $2.00 Oil of Olay
coupons for a while.
It was such a good coupon and we use
the soap. Then I heard about K-mart doubling to
$2.00.
I made sure my coupons were in order. It was
the last day before the coupon expired and the
first day of doubling.
My husband was working and my daughter was
leaving to go back to college. As soon as she
left I was off to my local K-mart. I hurriedly
went to the soap aisle. The 4 pack was on sale
for $4.00. My $2.00 coupon would be doubled and
the soap would be free!
I started filling my cart only to read the
sign about only using 4 coupons on 4 of the same
item. I realized that I would have to in and out
of the store several times. I went around the
store and picked up some other deals, then went
to the checkout and took my first load of items
to the car. I went back in and picked up four
packages of soap and went to a different
register. A young man was running the checkout
and he was impressed that I got the soap for
free and only paid the tax. I told him I was
going to do this three more times, but I was
tired and it was raining. Then he said that he
would ring them up separately so I wouldn’t have
to do that. I was so glad and asked him how long
he would be at the register, he said 45 minutes;
I asked him if he would put my package under the
counter and he did. I went back and got the rest
of my soap and he rang up the orders separately.
My haul was 19 four packs (76 bars) that
would have cost $76.00 plus tax. I only had to
pay the tax – more than a year’s worth of free
soap!"

sure why mom needs all this smelly stuf, but I'm
happy because I got these bright yellow things
that are fun to chew on. Mom said this also
could have been better but she splurged on the
big can of nuts for my daddy who loves them." -

"Sometimes
moms just need time to themselves. Well, what
better thing to do than go shopping. I did just
this! I went to Walmart, (2) Walgreens, (2)
Krogers, Meijers, and Giant Eagle. I ended up
saving $318.93 and only spent $13.11. This was
such fun and enjoyable afternoon spent by
myself. I couldn't have done it without Refund
Cents. Proud mom of 5" Carla Presley |
" I
began using coupons and refunding with my mother
at a very young age. Now at 20 years old I feel
I am just beginning to understand the time and
dedication she must have put in, and the money
she has saved our family. Along with many other
coupon users and refunders, I have done very
well with some of the most recent sales. In
this picture I have tried to summarize some of
the deals I have done recently. In the
background you can see piles of Sobe Lifewater
labels already removed from the bottles, and
rolled into groups of ten for easy counting.
After someone I used to work with at
Target gave me a huge stack of 50 cent
coupons, I went to work, spreading my buying of
Sobes around many Target's so as not to leave
any shelves bare. After the 50 cent coupons and
$5 giftcards, I paid just tax for the bottles of
Sobe. The next week I used my remaining coupons
at
Walgreens combined with a Walgreens
coupon for $1 off two, to once again just pay
tax. The result, the 200+ Sobe you can see
being currently stored in the unplugged
freezer. What's with the freezer? That would be
the annual Jewel freezer offered for $150 with
$150 worth of coupons. As my roomate and I
needed a freezer, this was a great deal,
especially when you factor in B1G1 sales on the
items we were given free coupons for. In the
background also are just some of the various
Blood Sugar monitors I have been able to get for
free, or in most cases actually made money on.
My attire? All courtesy of the recent
American Eagle $10 of $10 or more
purchase coupon. The dress shirt ended up being
$5, the t-shirt I am wearing underneath combined
with the hat I am wearing, and a necklace ended
up costing about $10 (less than half of the
original price of the hat alone). Other deals
include money making Johnson and Johnson
first Aid kits from the $3/2 coupon,
money making Theraflu through the Walgreens
easysaver, blinkie coupon, and No form needed
rebate, money making Colgate Maxfresh after
coupons and RR, money making Glad Sense and
Spray after two B1G1 coupons, two $4 coupons,
and Walgreens Easysaver, Starbucks chocolates $2
for two after Easysaver and $1 blinkies which in
turn got the free Starbucks drinks, free
Thermacare after Easysaver, free Fusions
after RR and coupons, cheap Axe after $1.50 IP
coupons, which then got free movie tickets,
recent free coupons from the Kraft game and Diet
Dr. Pepper, free Roto eye drops after
coupon and CVS clearance, free Stayfree after
Extra Care Bucks and B1G1 coupons, and Cow
Tails, my favorite filler! Of course this is
just some of what my favorite hobby has given
back to me in recent weeks. I in turn often
swap various deals with my mom (to whom I of
course owe all my knowlege along with
Refund Cents), give to the local homeless
shelter, and local food pantries." Shauna

"My
friend (Carla Presley) and I
went on an all day (about 12
hours)shopping spree to 6 different
Walgreens and 3 Kroger stores. We
had so much fun. We even stopped at
a thrift store to look for more
bargains. This is what I came home
with. I spent a total of
$51.80, still have an $8.00 RR for
Walgreens, and saved, according to
the receipts, a total of $687.52! We
were able to get plenty of the
Garnier products for free and
the Glade sense and spray and the
Glade fan powered plug ins for free.
I got a couple boxes of Sambucol. I
did the diaper deal once for a
family member who is expecting. They
had Gorton shrimp on sale for $1.39
a box and I just happened to have
coupons for $1.00 off. I had to buy
a cooler to put them in. I got some
face wash for my teenagers,
band aids, aspirin, Mylanta,
candy, gum, Neosporin, beef jerky,
and Chapstick among other things at
Walgreens. At Kroger, we were able
to get lots of
Land
o Lakes butter and
country crock for free. One
Kroger store had Betty Crocker icing
on sale for $.63 and we had a coupon
for $1.00 off, so free with profit.
I wish I had Powerade coupons, but I
already used them. However $.49
each is not bad since my family uses
them in their lunches everyday. I
got dole
fruit cups, which gave me 2
catalinas for $.75 oyno. I also got
sponges, Slimfast bars, a box of
Toaster Strudels, cereal,
marshmallows (for $.09 from a peelie
that was on the cereal), ground
cinnamon that was on clearance,
bananas and bread. Then when I got
home, in the mail was a $12.00
rebate check and a coupon for a free
Suave shampoo and a free
Gillette shampoo. Shopping is always
a good time, but even better when
spent with a friend!" Annette

" I
got this deal at tractor supply last weekend.
They had coupons out for Try Me Free 8 lbs bags
of dog food. I got one to see how it would work
and see how much they had. They had quite a bit
since the truck had just come in. I called a few
friends to tell them about it, too. I then went
back with my boys in tow and got 3 more bags.
Then when my husband and one of his friends went
out they got some again. I had 5 bags (dogs ate
1) which was 40 lbs of dog food free. They
didn't even charge tax. That's a great deal
cause with 3 big dogs (we raise boxers) they go
through a lot of food. Wish they did this more
often." Yvonne Byrd
" I
made a trip to Walgreens last night to get this
deal. I got 7 Garnier Leave-In Conditioners, 4
Shampoos, 4 Conditioners, and 2 bags of candy.
The Garniers had $2 coupons in the Easy Saver
catalog, making them .99 and I also had $1
coupons, making them free. The candy was on sale
and had an Easy Saver coupon for $3 off, making
them 2 for $4 plus I had a coupon for $2/2
making them $2. My total came to $5.48. I used a
$1.10 I had on a gift card making it $4.38 for
all this. I wish I knew where to get more of
those Garnier coupons, since my paper didn't
have them this week." Yvonne Byrd" I
got 4 of the Colgate Toothpastes at Walgreens.
Each rung separately paying $2.77 after .75
coupon and got $3.50 in RR's from each giving me
$14 in RRs. Then I ran up the drins in two
orders and used two of the $3.50 RR's on each
and they each gave $3 RR, giving me $6 in RRs. I
then rang up the 2 Glade Spray and Sense which
were free after the $4 EScoupon and the $4
coupons I had. Depends were on clearance for
$3.29 each. 3 packs of Orbit gum for .99 after
Easy Saver c/o. I used my $6 RR and brought my
total to $3.24 plus it printed a $2 RR for
buying the Depends. I'll be looking again this
weekend to see if they have more Depends on
clearance. Thanks Refund Cents for teaching me
the tricks." Yvonne Byrd
" I'm
still learning all the tricks but i thought this
was a really good one. In the picture is my
youngest son Ryan age 9. He calls me a coupon
freak but loves all the things I get. In this
pic he's eyeing the chocolate. lol. I did this
deal at
Walgreens in 8 different orders. 1st
order 1
Colgate
toothpaste sale $2.99. had .75 cents
coupon . Paid $2.45. Then it produced a $2.00
RR. 2nd order1 Colgate toothapaste sale $2.99
had ...75 cent coupon . paid $2.45 . Then it
produced a $2.00 RR. 3rd order 1 Colgate
toothpaste sale $2.99 had .73 cent coupon. paid
$2.45. Then it produced a $2.00 RR. 4th order 1
Colgate toothpaste sale $2.99 had .75 cent
coupon. paid $2.45. Then it procured a $2.00 RR.
5th order 1 Colgate toothpaste sale $2.99 had a
.75 cent coupon paid $2.45. Then it produced a
$2.00. 6th order 1 Colgate toothpaste sale $2.99
had a $1.00 coupon paid $2.20. Then it produced
a $2.00 RR. 7th order 1 Colgate toothpaste sale
$2.99 had a $1.00 coupon paid $2.20. Then it
produced a $2.00 RR. After all the Colgate
toothpaste I had $14.00 in RR. On the 8th order
I had 8 Dove deodorant used Walgreens coupon
that took off $6.40 making them $1.99 each plus
I had coupons for $1.50 off 2. 2 degree
deodorants $2.99 had coupon for $1.00 off 2. 12
Hershey's with almonds on sale at Walgreens BOGO
. had coupon out of paper for BOGO. making them
free.
yahoo. used $14.00 RR paid $4.31 paid
out of pocket. altogether 20.96. not bad but
while i was writing this out I realize that they
didn't ring the wag coupon for the degree that
would have made them $1.99. saving $2.00 more
there and only rung up 3 of my 4 coupons on the
dove deodorant. would have saved $1.50 more
there. but still not a bad deal for all I got .
I'm still learning and now I know to keep a
better watch." Yvonne Byrd |
"My
name is Isabella and this is all of my Mommy's
free stuff that I helped her get! After
Register Rewards, rebates, and coupons they
actually PAID her for all of this stuff! We
just moved to St Louis so we are still in the
process of finding all of the good stores to
shop at. We did the happy dance when Daddy
showed Mommy that there was a Walgreens just
down the street! We LOVE Walgreens! -Kristy
Marshall New RC member |
"Shayne
loves the Beechnut toddler food. It's just the
right size for him and just the right price for
me, 6 cents each after the $1 coupon. While I
was at Walmart I also picked up a few Buddies
bars of soap (free). Then I had them price
match Dollar General for toothpaste to make it
85 cents and used the 75 cent coupon. The
Electrasol in the background is from deals from
the prior two weeks using the great $2.50
coupon. I bought Electrasol at Family Dollar
where it was $3 each. With the $2.50 coupons
plus $5 off $25 coupons that I traded for on the
trading board I was able to get the 12 packs
free. The 20 packs cost 50 cents each. I
bought some of these at CVS and some at Walmart
with a price match. I also have lots of
rainchecks from CVS for the Electrasol so I'm
ready if these great coupons come out again."
Shannon E, MO |

"I was so happy when I read on the chat
about
Family Dollar having
Lever 2000 for
$2.00 and I could use my $1.50 c/o. My DH
had just complained that we were about out.
I let him know I was waiting for a good sale
and one comes along! I was able to snag the
Glad Sense & Spray and Lasting Impressions
for free and got the
Dove soap and deo for a profit!! I
got the Walgreens diapers for
next to nothing. They were on sale
for 2/$9.00 and I was able to get my hands
on the pharmacy coupon booklet, so $4.00 was
taken off making them $2.50 a piece! I know
it's not free like most I've seen in the
Diaper Divas, but I had joined right after
that and was sure another free diaper deal
wouldn't come around for quite awhile. This
week I got the Huggies deal. My DH and I
made a plan. We would buy the Huggies deal
and use the $10 RR to purchase the
Cottonelle deal and keep rolling it back and
forth. Well of course the Cottonelle didn't
spit out an RR and the manager said b/c it
was from the same deal. So the trial and
error began. I then thought about an better
way without spending a lot OOP. After
buying another huggies deal and getting an
RR, I went in for a separate transaction. I
picked up a cheap piece of candy, the
Garnier and asked for $10.00 to be put on my
gift card and then used the RR to pay for
it. My oop was $0.65! So then I was able to
go and roll my RR straight to another
Huggies deal. I used my left over $5.00
Huggies coupons at Target for the
remaining wipes, only $0.99 each!
Total items:
5 Glade Sense & Spray
4 Glade Lasting Impressions
3 Dove Soap
5 Dove travel Deodorant
14 4-pk Lever 2000
3 12-pk Cottonelle
3 Kleenex
12
Walgreens Diapers
10
Huggies Diapers
14 Huggies Wipes
39
Garnier products
Total OOP: $93.76
This is my baby girl pictured, she is almost
4 months old, and with 3 family members

"This is my youngest Adam with our haul of stuff
from 3 stores on Monday. I got my rebate card,
and we just rolled with it. I barly spent
anything thanks to all the catalina deals I
could roll my deals into. I bought the blink and
or the dove, to roll into the Carmex, Colgate,
and Vaseline deal, rinsed and repeated. I got
$72 on my card, and have about $46 left to use.
I have since used a lot of that, but mostly have
just been rolling between the deals,. What a fun
week this has been! Our pantry will be well
stocked." Emily Pateman |

"This is my shopping buddy, deal finding
daughter AJ.
She and I were extremely excited when we saw
that CVS had Electrasol on sale for $2.99.
So armed with our $2.50 off coupons we left
at midnight to go a 24 hour store. Yikes
they only had 6 boxes. We picked up 2 at
that store. Went and got B1G1 donuts at the
local Dunkin Donuts. Back home we went.
Headed out about 930 a.m. to 2 more stores.
Again they only had so many. We took a few
but left some for others. HHmmmmm.... came
home and then I read Chat. Oh my I forgot
all about Walmart price matching. Armed
with 15 coupons I was able to use them all.
Now we will not have to buy (unless find
great deal) for a year and a half. That
would be if I used my dishwasher everyday. (
Which is more like every 2 days) More or
less I am stocked for a bit. As AJ puts it,
" No more dishman hands!" Thanks Chris

"I
have been with Refund Cents since Jan 18, 2009.
With the
help of
the Walgreens and Rite Aid double play lists, as
well as information posted on Centsible Chat, I
made two great purchases on February 6, 2009 as
follows:
Walgreens
Go Green
Bag 9 @ 3/$1 = 3.00
Right Guard Professional Strength Deodorant
$5.99 (ESR $5.00 - $1 Q) = $.99
Zucol Coldcare $7.99 (ESR $7.99 - $2 Q) = $2.00
overage
Thermacare Heat Wraps $2.49 (less ESR $2.49 - $
1 Q) = $1.00 overage
Theraflu Liquid Warming Liquid 2 x $5 (less ESR
$6.00 – 2 x $2 Q) = free
Revlon Creamgloss Lipgloss $9.99 (less ESR
$9.99) = free
Total Retail Value $43.93 (plus tax)
Paid
$34.93 including tax ($3.47)
ESR $31.47 (plus 10%, as I have them recharge my
GC) = $34.62
TOTAL OOP = $.31 (including tax)
Rite Aid
Degree Women Ultra Clear Deodorant 2 x $2.00
(less 2 x.$.75Q) = $3.50
One Touch Ultra Mini Meter $19.99 (less $19.99Q)
= Free
Bayer Contour Meter 14.99 x 6 (less 6 x $14.99Q
- $10 RA GC) = $10.00 overage
Colgate Total Whitening Toothpaste $2.99 (less
$1.50Q - $1.00 RA coupon - $1 SCR) = $.49
overage
2 Bounty Paper towels B1G1F 1.29 (less $.25Q) =
1.04
Total Retail Value $516.08 (plus tax)
Paid
$14.43 including tax ($10.40)
SCR $3.00
FREE
Healthy Heart T-Shirt
RA GC $10.00
OOP $1.43 (including tax)
My grand
totals for these two purchases are: Retail
Value $560.01 (without tax), OOP $1.74
(including tax), plus I will get a free t-shirt.
As a percentage of savings, that would be 99.7%
savings! WOW! I'm planning on donating the One
Touch Ultra Mini Meter and the Bayer Contour
Meters to our local Domestic Violence Shelter.
They will be so happy, as often times these
families leave there homes with nothing, and
those meters can be pricey.

"My
daughter and I went shopping in our KMart. These
are the deals from the first day. My kitten
McGee was so excited about his free cat treats,
he had to be in the picture! The retail price
without coupons totaled $201.14 and I paid
$22.31 oop! Just had to share. Thanks KMart and
thanks Michele!" Eileen, NY |
"I
am new to Refund Cents and LOVE every minute of
it. This is a picture of my little helper and me
after our first trip to KMart doubles. My
husband couldn't believe that we only spent
about $21 oop and saved at least $100! This is
what my son had to say: 'My mom and I have a
great time shopping and saving money. Thanks to
Refund Cents, I have enough diapers, babyfood
and wipes to last me a long time! The best deal
of all has to be my mommy being able to stay
home with me because of all the money we save!'
" Jude Rances |
"Sometimes
moms just need time to themselves. What better
thing to do than go shopping. I did just that! I
went to Walmart, 2 Walgreens, 2 Krogers, Meijers,
and Giant Eagle. I ended up saving $318.93 and
only spending $13.11. This was such fun and
enjoying afternoon spent by myself. I couldn't
have done it without Refund Cents." Proud mom of

"This
is one of my first shopping trips after becoming
a coupon clipper and frugal mom. I'm always
trying to make money and God told me to just
save what he's already given me. I obeyed. I
used to spend $1000 at WalMart a month. Now I
spend $300 a month at Winn-Dixie. I have since
bought more toothpaste. So much my husband won't
let me buy anymore. I am so pleased that I took
the time to figure out how it works." Susan
Rife, AL |

"What a great shopping day I had at Kroger!
I walked in the store at ran into a gold
mine! I noticed that they had FUZE fruit
drinks on sale 10 for 10, well luckily I had
plenty of the .25cents off coupons which
tripled. Woohooo I was able to get 18 of
them for 25 cents each.
The store also had Soft Soap for 1.09. I had
thirteen .35 coupons tripled, paid 4 cents
each. Dial Hand soap was on sale 10 for 10.
I had 18 coupons each coupon was worth . 35
cents so you know what that means TRIPLE and
(FREE).
Powerade was on sale for .79 each and thank
goodness I had those wonderful .40 off
coupons that doubled which made all 23 of
them that you see (Free) after three days
of shopping all this cost me a whopping
$4.72 Whoooohoooo! What else is there for a
diva to do...." Kim S. Tx

"This is our stash from one FREE day of
shopping with Noah age 2. We hit Walgreens
for the
Mt Dew Deal and got 9 12 packs for
$21 and a $10 RR. That's $1.22 each!!! Also
picked up the Windex BOGO Wipes and will
send in a MIR for them and we used our
Walgreens Gift Card from last month's
ESC. Then we went on to Target and got 20
packs of the Electrasal for .75 each after
the $2.50 coupon! Used a Target gift card I
received as a gift. Total trip $0 out of
pocket--When we got home Noah said "LOOK AT
ALL THOSE COKES!!" (and we haven't even
been to do the deal again this week at CVS
and Walgreens!)"

"This is my first month being a part of
Refund Cents and I am hooked. I have
collected coupons for two weeks and when I heard
about Kmart double coupon deal and the CVS Pepsi
ECB I figured I would try it out. Behind me is
what I got from both KMart and CVS. It includes
from KMart
Colgate tooth paste,
Crest toothpaste, Gillette Shampoo, 4pack
Bic Razors, 2 packs Pedigree dog snacks, 2 packs
Ziploc containers, 2 glade air fresheners,
pledge duster and Fantastic cleaner. Total
$5.27 savings $17.37. Next at CVS I got
4-12pack Pepsi Product, 3 bags of Chips, a
salsa, 2-2liters, Cottonelle 20 pack TP, 3
small tea sets and 8 Dog toys Total 38.73
savings 48.04 plus I got a $5 off$15 coupon, a
$3.79ECB and I will send off the $15 in Pepsi
coupons Rebate. I spent a total of $44 today
and saved $65. All in all a pretty good
shopping day." Tiffany Bertram |
" I
took the past two years off from using coupons
(the big deals)- I just used them here and
there. Now, that I am not pregnant and the baby
is 14 months old--- I am back in business!!
This is a picture of my first deal. I am
thrilled! It was so much fun!!!
My husband eats the instant
Quaker oatmeal every morning for
breakfast and at $4.49 a box (w/o coupons) that
adds up. The kids are also happy to see
Captain Crunch and Life again-it's been a
while. The baby is enjoying the Goldfish!
So, with all that being said, here is what I
got:
Kroger Quaker deal:
After coupons:
12 boxes instant Quaker oatmeal @ .50 a box!
Total $6.00!!
20 boxes Quaker cereal (Life and Captain
Crunch) @ $1.00 a box! Total $20.00
6 bags of Goldfish @ .50 each-and sometimes
cheaper! Total $ 3.00
Not bad for a first deal.
Thank you RefundCents for all your tips. They
are greatly appreciated!"
Carrie Miller, MI |
"Here's
the latest deals I got at
KMart when they were doubling coupons up
to $3. My husband and I each did a transaction.
I would've made it back to the store several
times, except it's a 25 minute drive away, and
that just didn't fit in to our schedule. Even
after buying the wrong cereal (Cocoa Pebbles
instead of Cocoa Krispies) all of this cost me
$14. I'm going to try to exchange the cereal,
which will make it only $7 after all the coupons
doubled if I'm successful. The only things we
paid for were the cereal ($.50 and $.25 a box)
and the
eye shadow ($.29). We were also very
lucky to get overage on the Crest and some other
products, as the cashier had to enter the double
coupons by hand. Thanks KMart!!
Thanks!" Dana Schrader |

"I love Kmart! I have made 3 trips to my local
Kmart this weekend! They have been doubling now

$2off and this week was up to $3off!!! What a
great deal!! Before coupons and discounts the
total was $919.80, I paid $70.45 oop. That's a
savings of $849.35 I am sort of new to the
couponing world, only been doing this for a

"This is my youngest son Damon showing off all
the amazing deals we were able to get while on
the way to another one of my husbands doctor's
appointment.
We hit three Kroger stores, two CVS pharmacies,
a Walgreens pharmacy, and a Walmart. We spent
$31.41 at Kroger and saved $315.68, plus got a
catalina for $2.00 oyno; spent $6.31 at
Walgreens and saved $6.39 (and will get $1.00
back on a rebate); spent $14.85 at Walmart and
saved $27.50 (plus I plan on sending the bottle
cap back from the tide for a refund); would have
spent $38.25 at CVS but had a couple gift cards
for transferring rx's so spent $0.00 and saved
$66.09 plus have $27.00 in ecb's. Amazing! This
trip does not count all the Valley fresh
streamers I have been able to get for only $.09
each and all the other items we've gotten from
Kroger since they started their sale! We are
lovin it! That is 226 items for $52.25 out
of pocket, that is $0.23 per item, and that
doesn't even count all the register rewards and
rebates coming back, which is about $36.58! If
you take all of those in consideration we only
are out $15.67!" Annette H. |

"Hi! I'm
Madeline. My aunt sure knows how to shop! She
read in the Winn Dixie ad that you could buy $30
in P&G products and get $10 back. Good thing
she's smart about buying diapers.
She
transferred a prescription and got a $25 gift
card. She also had a $10 off $40 baby club
coupon and a $2 coupon on pampers!
Her order
total started out at $45.76 and she got it down
to $7.86! Then she got a $10 catalina. Way to
go Aunt Selena!"

"Hi!
I'm a "backslider" from the Tightwad Gazette
days, so I'm excited to get back on the thrift
wagon! Refund Cents is such a wonderful
resource; I'm having a lot of fun getting great
deals. This picture shows my total haul from
one night, hitting Safeway, Target, Walgreen's,
and Albertsons. So far, I only do one
transaction at each store each time I
shop. Included in this trip I spent just 75
cents each box for Electrosol packs of 25
dishwashing tablets/gel, and was able to get
seven of them. The Quaker Instant Oatmeal
packets for 50 cents each box. I love getting
boneless, skinless, chicken breast chunks for 79
cents a pound (our Albertsons labels it "chicken
trim for soup" -yeah, right.) Lean Cuisine
pizzas are always a hit at $1.70 each, as well.
In total, I spent $78.29 OOP, saved $193.43,
and even got a coupon for free milk on my next
shopping trip!

“I have come a long way
in a short year. This is by far the best I
have EVER done! $413 for only $14
out-of-pocket. I also still have $55 in
coupons to use on future purchases on
anything in the store”

" ShopRite is a grocery store chain in the
northeast (CT, DE, NY, NJ, PA).
In their January 18 circular, they advertised
Sucrets ice pops for 1.49, plus three catalina
deals: 1) Buy 3 Stayfree at 2.49 each, get a
catalina for $5 OYNO, 2) Buy 3 Johnson's baby
products at 2.99 each, get a catalina for $5
OYNO, and 3) Buy 2 Mach 3 disposable razors at
$5.99 each, get a catalina for $5 OYNO.
For the Stayfree, I used the B1G1F coupon
from the Jan 4 Red Plum insert. So, buy 3 =
7.50, minus 2.49, minus the $5 catalina, final
price = free! There was also a $2/2 Stayfree
coupon in the November 9 Red Plum insert, which
made the final price .50 for 3. I used all those
coupons, too. For the Sucrets ice pops I had a
$1.50 coupon from the Smartsource November 23
insert. For the Johnson's deal, I had $1 coupons
from the Red Plum Jan 4 insert. Buy 3 Johnson's
products at 2.99 each = $9.00, minus $3 in
coupons, minus $5 catalina, final price = 3/$1.
Baby powder is something we use in my house, so
this was something I was glad to stock up on.
For the Mach 3 deal, I used the B1G1F coupon
from the P&G Jan 18 insert. Buy two Mach 3
disposable razors at 5.99 each, minus 5.99
coupon, minus $5 catalina, final price = .99/2.
My husband uses these! Total price before
sales and coupons = $245.73, I paid $11.50 (plus
tax), for a 95% savings!! With two pre-teen
girls in the house, whenever I find a deal on
Stayfree or other pads, I grab as many as I can,
so this was the deal I was happiest with. I will
give some of the ice pops and baby powder to my
local food pantry. Thank you Refund Cents and
all the ladies who contribute tips and deals.
You have all helped me to lower my household
spending by a very significant amount, which
allows me to work less, spend more time with my
family, worry less about finances, and devote
more time to things I want to do." Heidi N.

Momma,
Are We Getting a Cat?
"No babies, Mommy is donating all this cat food
to the no-kill shelter. I was able to purchase
31 bags of cat food at KMart for just the taxes
of $10.64. I will be able to bless the shelter
with the food and receive a write-off on my
taxes. A win-win. Refunding is so much fun and
has been over the last 29 years." Vicki in
New Orleans |
"Here
is a picture of my younger son, Jacob and my
boyfriend, Chris. I've been using coupons and
refunding for over 10 years but they've just
gotten into it! This is their first deal
without me. Chris called me and said Happy
Harry's (Walgreens) had Dawn Simple Pleasures
dish detergent on sale for $1.50 and wanted to
see if I had a coupon for them. I said I didn't
think we did. He said he would pick 1 up
anyway. Imagine my surprise when they came home
with 47 bottles of Dawn Simple Pleasures! I was
shocked! They were on clearance at Happy Harry's for
.10 each! The total should have been over $165
but they paid just $4.70 for 47 bottles!! The
entire family is looking out for deals, using
coupons and getting excited about our fantastic
hobby!" - Eileen Deman |

"Rainchecks
are Golden.
Ethan is a 6 month couponing veteran. He gets
almost as excited about the deals as I do. His
favorite part of the coupon process is helping
me wad up paper to throw away, although he just
as often wads up the good stuff too. Here is
the latest deal that we got at CVS using coupons
and rainchecks.
4 Pepsi 12 packs $3.33 x 4 = 13.33
4 Lays chips $2 x 4 = 8.00
3 Therma care $2.29 x 3 = 6.57 Raincheck
for price 2.29 & 2.29 ECB on all three
3 Benefiber $7.29 x 3 =
21.57 Raincheck for 7.29 ECB on 1
filler piece of candy
(not pictured because I already ate it)
$50.24
Coupons:
Therma care $1 x 3 = $3
Benefiber $2 x 3 = $6
Benefiber CRT $5
Benefiber CRT $3
CRT $10 off $50 $10
----------
Total paid 23.24
(Used ECB & gift card from transfered
prescription of course so no actual OOP)
Got back in ECB
Pepsi/Lays $10
Benefiber $10
Benefiber $8 (raincheck)
Thermacare $9 (raincheck)
---------
Total ECB $37
(the manager said something about since the
raincheck didn't have the event number that when
he did the ECB it rounded up so I got $3 each
thermacare instead of $2.29 and I got $8 on
Benefiber instead of $7.29)"

"This is a picture of
my 3 trips to Kmart during the last double
coupon deal. This time I wanted to be a
little smarter when choosing my products for
this sale. I did not want to pick it up
just because it was free. I wanted to pick
up items that I knew I needed to get and use
now but also for when I would need it
later. This coming year I have a goal to
really cut my spending way low. In order to
do that I need to stock up on items that
really cut into the grocery budget. Some of
the items weren’t as good as deal but better
than the regular
grocery store purchase. Items like
coffee,
toilet paper, shampoo, garbage bags
etc. With this out of my budget for several
months I will be able to cut the budget way
low. The fingernail polish and
lip gloss will go into little
packages for
Christmas. I was able to get $833.71
in items (which included tax) for $327.30.
They were also running a special on Friday
and Saturday that if you bought a $50.00
gift card that you could receive a $10.00
gift card. Of course I purchased 2. Now I
have $20.00 to spend later. I was able to
get the
Betty Crocker frosting, Reynolds wrap
for .99, Nestles Choc Chip, Oust, Sparkling
grape juice, Dixie paper plates and also the
cereal “specials”. I know I could have
spent less had I not had larger more
expensive items in the cart like Neutrogena
T-Gel (9.79 a bottle, I got 5),
Folgers coffee, (6.99)
Hefty trash bags, (6.99),
Paper towels and Scott Toilet tissue,
I did not have super coupons for these but
doubling is doubling! I was extremely happy
with this event. I saved 62% off of my
total bill. I really hope that they
continue to do this and hopefully some of
the other
grocery stores will follow suit!"

"KMART DOUBLES/SUPERFRESH TRIPLES
My first $2 Doubles at Kmart or ANYWHERE
for that matter- was great.

very tiny cosmetics section-so I lost

"Although
our house suffered major
water damage the week before
Thanksgiving and most of my coupons
were ruined as a result, I was still able to
participate in CVS's great Thanksgiving day
Extra Care Buck deals. Everything pictured
here was FREE after extra bucks! I did
multiple small transactions to limit my out
of pocket cost (never more than 2 at a time
so as not to hold up the line). So, even if
you are just starting out or don't have any
coupons, there are still great deals to be
had. THANK YOU to everyone at
www.refundcents.com! Your
postings and the great weekly deal lists by
store help me every time I shop."
- Phyllis Wheeler, MD

"My husband went shopping with me this
time and he said he had a lot of fun! He had
a doctor's appointment about a two hour
drive away from where we live, so we left
early and decided to take our new
tom tom we just got on Amazon for
$59.99 ($89.99 minus $30.00 for signing up
for a new
Amazon card) and we hit just about
every Walgreens and CVS on the way! We
already had CVS gift cards for transferring rx's
and the
Walgreens gift card from last month,
so we only paid $83.29 oop, but we have
$30.00 in ecb and RR's combined and about
$10.00 in rebates coming back so really only
have about $43.00 spent for the day. We put
the purchases we made on our new Amazon card
to earn points. Our total savings according
to all of the receipts was $689.59!"
Annette Hupp

"Walgreens is having a sale on Garnier
Fructis styling products, shampoo and
conditioners. I have found quite the deals
today. Most of the products I got were on
clearance ranging in price from $1.79-$2.69.
Most of them were $2.19. This month in the
Easy Saver catalog there is a $2 off coupon
and I had additional $1 off coupons from the
manufacturer! Lucky me I found great deals
and made some profits on these things. The
Glade I had a raincheck for and coupons,
some of the other things I just had too many
overages and needed to spend the extra
money. I spent a total of $29.35 and have a
total savings of $641.82!" Stefanie
Curtis, Elkhart, IN

Glade Scented Oil Warmers - I
Made over $150!
"I started out with $10 on a catalina
from a Unilever Deal and a ton of
coupons. I had a found coupons for buy
one get one free Glade Scented Oil
Warmers.
There was a rumor online that Glade
Scented Oil Warmers were spitting
out $4
Catalinas for each one you
purchased and that multiple catalinas
would print if you bought more than one.
I put it to the test. I figured, if it
didn't work I was just out the catalina
and it was worth a try. So, I headed to
the store, and purchased 4 Oil Warmers,
I paid $4.19 each, for two of them and
the other two were free. I earned $16 in
catalinas. I kept going back to the
store to either find empty shelves or
just a couple there. I talked to the
store manager in charge of ordering
inventory. I had him order 80 units for
myself and friend I share deals with.
I honestly lost count to how many
units I have. I can tell you this, I
still have $72 worth of catalinas, $20
on a gift card, and purchased 1/2 Gal
Choc Milk, 1 Gal 2% Milk, 4 Containers
of olives from the olive bar, Whipped
Topping,
Sara Lee Pie, 2 Fall Window
Clings, 2 small bags of cheese puffs, 2
packages carl budig meat,1 large bag of
cheese puffs, 2 Bug juice (kids were
with me), 3 boxes of popcorn, bagged
salad, 12 pack coke, 20oz coke, 3
Chicken Grillers from meat dept, 2 twice
baked potatoes from the meat dept, whole
fryer chicken, shrimp ring, and 2 strip
steaks. I've spent maybe $30 for $.19
each on the ones I paid for using a $4
catalina (they are 4.19 each) and tax.
In the end I'd say I'm up about $150,
food, air fresheners, and out of
coupons." Jen Bell Quincy, IL
"We
went a little over budget this week, but
only a little. Our weekly budget is $55
and we spent $57.40. We will be sending
for a $10 rebate on the steak and a
$3.99 rebate on the
Smart Start
Cereal, along with sending in our
labels for a free jar of Rinaldi
Pasta Sauce. Missing from the
picture is one loaf of bread and one
package of
hot dog buns, as they were eaten
already. We got a couple of great deals
this week. We got six loaves of wheat
bread and four packages of hot dog buns
for $6.89! This is great as we go
through bread pretty quickly around
here. We also bought several boxes of
cereal that were marked down from $4.99
to $1.01 due to the boxes being damaged.
It was fantastic to see the original
total at the
grocery store go from $131.76 to
$47.86. This is our best grocery
shopping trip to date!" -Kristin
Brutsman

"Wow! We had fun shopping at
Meijer last night! This is my 16
year old son with all of the
goodies we got. I paid $8.05 oop
for everything and we still have
$4.00 worth of coupons good on
my next shopping order! You
should have seen the reaction on
my son's face when the self
register spit out change and he
didn't even pay for
anything! The Fleischmann's 3
strip rapid rise yeast was
$1.29. I had a $.65 coupon which
was doubled, making it free. A
catalina coupon was printing out
for $.50 oynso for every one we
bought. So I got 20 of them. I
also got 3 boxes of cereal. They
were on sale for $1.80 a box and
my coupon was $.55 off which was
doubled. The pop tarts were on
sale for 3 for $4.00. I had a
$.55 coupon for each one which
made them only $.47 for 2 boxes
so I got 20 of them. The
pepperoni was $1.99, so with my
$.55 coupon they were only $.89
each and I got 8 of those. My
son was impressed! Our savings
total, according to the
receipts, was $85.22!"

"I've been trying to avoid CVS lately. I
know they don't like me. I just know it.
I know I can be a real pain in the butt
sometimes with my coupons but I'm not
doing anything illegal! I had a pile of
ECB's that were going to expire soon and
I couldn't let them go to waste! Besides
there were some really great 3 day deals
with CVS on November 27th to the 29th
that I had to take advantage of. There
was a whole page of freebies listed
after ECB's so I am thinking what a
great way to roll my current ECB's over
before they expire with the least out of
pocket of course.
I try to only do CVS when I happen to be
going somewhere such as before or after
work. (Less gas mileage!) So on 3
separate occasions I stopped in at CVS
to see what they had in stock that I
wanted that was in the flier on sale. I
allotted myself over an hour to plan my
trip wisely (just in case I had to
change my strategy) if they were out of
something I wanted.
So all in all here is what I ended up
with
1 Kit Kat
4
Aussie Hair care products
5 Colgate
2 Loreal lip gloss
9 Gatorade
2
Sally Hansen nail polish
I spent a whopping $10.37 and EARNED a
total of $49.32 in ECB's.
Not too bad??
So "hopefully" they won't have anymore
good deals anytime soon and then they
wont have to see me until next month!!"
Jenn Getz

"Here are my Happy Little
Helpers (aka, my little guys).
They are smiling BIG from all
the great deals they have helped
me get at KMart. Right before
this picture we had just got
back from Kmart where they each
got to do their very own order.
They love to coupon shop...of
course they get to keep the
change to make it worth their
while...lol...but they still
have a lot of fun. My oldest
asks me all the time when we are
shopping "Mom do you have a
coupon for that?" I just have to
laugh...he is only 6yrs old! But
I am trying to teach them the
value and fun in coupon
shopping.
So all together we have made 6
trips so far and scored $450
worth of stuff for $56 oop! I am
doing even better then the last
time KMart doubled here! I am
just so thankful I have a
Husband and children that
support my habbit...lol!!! Here
is a break down of what we got.

coupon events...Between last
time and this time I have been
able to get almost $2000 worth
of stuff for just over
$200...Not a bad investment I
would have to say....Hope KMart
keeps on doing this so we have
more fantastic stories to
share!" Desiree B, Oregon

"Mom got 56 sticks of Sure deodorant.
They paid her $.51 each to take them total
of $28.56 profit. We are donating the Sure
deodorants to the shelter. I'm glad we can
help other people with mom's couponing
habit. Lilly age 6 months. "Anna R, KS

"Well I had to make one more trip out to
Kmart to make sure I took full advantage
of this awesome coupon doubling! I was
able to talk my mom into giving it a try
as well. She had taken care of my son
all day and he hadn't yet taken a nap by
the time I got off work. So off we went
to Kmart with my ginormous coupon binder
in hand. We got: 4 Welch's sparkling
cider, 4 suave deodorant, 4 Endust, 4
Celestial Seasonings Tea, 2
Betty Crocker Frosting, 3 Halls
Cough Drops, 1 Box Fresh Step, 1Toy Car
(no coupon for that!), 1 Gillette body
wash, 3 Boxes of Wet Ones, 2 Bottles of
Juicy Juice.
My total before coupons was right around
$91 (with tax).....After coupons with
tax my total was $28.10 which isn't too
shabby at all! I also managed to help
shave about $30 off of my mom's total
bill.
However, as you can see in the picture
this is what happens when you have to do
too much shopping at Kmart. You
apparently don't even flinch when your
Mommy puts ALL of her Kmart goodies on
the couch around you while you sleep! He
was so tired he barely made it through
the store with us. He did manage to
scold his "Mimi" (Grandma) for not using
coupons like we do! When I showed him
the picture this morning he thought it
was pretty funny! I think this picture
reflects how alot of us feel after this
busy week shopping at Kmart! Happy
couponing!" Heather Greenwood, CA

"I have had a blast this week doing the
Kmart Doubles. Only a couple of stores
around here double and they only do so up to
49¢ so this was a big treat. I spent this
last month getting ready and anticipating
this. I can hardly believe the totals
myself. They have been checked and double
checked and our before coupon total was
$857.02 and I spent $83.54 !!!! After lots
of trips and help from my DH here is what we
got. Our DD, Alea, can't wait for Mama to
make cookies!

"I just started using coupons and this

"I
had a great time!!! Took two of my
daughters with me. Autumn 15 and Makenna
9. They were a HUGE help!!!
Total was $318.57
(and a lot of that was on sale)
Paid-- $101.59 ( 11.00 of that was tax)
I'm sure others could have done better but I
was happy!!!!! Best deal was using the Kmart
Beauty book and finding the Sally Hansen
coupons 1.00 so they doubled and the nail
polish's that we got ended up being .59
cents each!!! they loved that. As you can
see it's mostly Health and Beauty, I
reached my 75 coupons and didn't even get a
chance to go to the food section. GUESS I'LL
have to go back OH DARN!!! haha" Jodi,

"Raise your hand if you're SURE! Yesterday I got
13 Sure Deodorants for FREE. Combined with the
sale, instore Walgreens coupons and IP coupons
another fabulous deal chalked up!" - Jill, MO
"At
CVS, the atkins bars were on sale for $1 each.
I had been trading for these for a while and had
a good stash of these coupons.
CVS also
had
Kleenex tissue on sale for B1G1F @
$1.49. I had a few coupons for B3G1F. I
combined this coupon with the sale to get 4
boxes of tissues for the price of one.
The
Duracell battery sale was also going on
at CVS, buy $20 and get $15 ECB back.
Everywhere I went, they were sold out of the
batteries. I did remember to get a rain check.
I did pick up a few of the smaller packs though.
I had also
read on chit chat where Publix was having a
deal. There is a coupon for $5 off 10 items in
a Thanksgiving flyer. These flyers were found
at the door.
Martha White muffin mixes were included
in this deal. I traded for many of these
coupons as well. The muffin mixes were on sale
5 for $4. When you buy 10 at $8, you get to use
the $5 off coupon. I also used 5 coupons for 55
cents off 2. For each ten muffin mixes I
bought, the total was 25 cents! I owe a huge
thank you for the OP of that deal.
After
going to several Publix stores and
CVS stores, I ended up with 138 Atkins
bars, 80 muffin mixes, eight kleenex and four
packs of batteries. To top the day off, my
girls enjoyed a trip to Build-A-Bear, and I used
coupons there as well!
I
went to Winn Dixie with my 3 children, which
sometimes isn't an easy feat! I stumbled across
a good deal and couldn't resist. Sierra Mist was
on sale for $1 each, normally $1.69. I found a
tear pad of coupons for B1G1F. I wound up with
28 bottles and paid $6.86. With my rewards card
and the B1G1F coupons, we saved a lot. We are
set for a very long time! This was a rare find
for me. Miss Jenny is pictured with her stacks
of sodas!"

"Here's a picture of me at my first major yard
sale using all of my deals throughout this year!
I made over $500! I hope I can share my story
next year. I'm going to take advantage of as
many deals as I can must next year! Look for my
story by the end of the year!" Yvonne R.

"Hi there! This was my first time for the
Kmart double coupon event and I think I did
fairly well. There were a lot of items that
my store just doesn't carry and the coupons
were expiring but things went well. I was
the first "couponer" at the store I went to
in Rocklin, CA. The cashier and the lady
from the service desk were both really
excited. They made sure I had read the fine
print in the ad and we went at it. The
customer service cashier kept running over
to her register to ring people up so I
basically had the other open register all to
myself! When she didn't have a customer she
would run back over to see how it was going.
Everything rang up great! The cashier was
very young and wasn't sure what some of the
items were (since they list under funky
names in the register) so we did it
together, I would tell her which item it was
for when she had to choose one. The haul
doesn't look too impressive because my
"model" (my son Josh) was in front of some
of the items. This batch included:
3 Cover Girl Items $1 ea
2 Clorox Anywhere Fabric Spray 1 for Free
and 1 for .99
2 Emery Boards - FREE
2 Nail clippers - FREE
1 set of markers for Josh 4.99 (no deal on
those)
4 Kotex - FREE
8 Degree Deodorant (Travel size) .49 ea
2 Band Aid .79 ea
2 Suave Solid .49 ea
1 Tums Smoothers - FREE
3 Johnson Bath Buddies Soap - FREE
4 Pert Shampoo - FREE
4 Reynolds Heavy Duty Foil .99 each
4 Mr Clean Wipes .50 each
2 Beggin' Strips .69 each
4 Lime Away .66 each
2 Betty Crocker Frosting .50 each
1 Hickory Farms Gift Pack for a Gift Basket
8.99 (20% off normal)
3 Choc Chips 3/$4
1 Welchs Juice 1.99
1 Juicy Juice 1.49
1 Candy Canes $1
1 Whitman Sampler Mini $1 (for Gift basket)
1 Butter Cookie $3.49 (for gift basket)
1 Play Doh regular 11.19 - coupon 7.19
1 Play Doh (for Xmas) 9.99
All in all my total savings was $123.99 and
my total bill after coupons was only $75.08
Since NOBODY in this area doubles this was
quite the deal. I will be refueling and
heading back for the items I didn't get
later in the week. I know there are some
smaller items I can get. I was just so giddy
that I finally got to particiapte and I
didn't want to go over my 75 coupons. My
receipt was 3'7" tall - which is a good inch
and a quater taller then my son! He was so
excited when I got hom (Grandma was watching
him) that he was jumping up and down and
helping me bring in the bags. It was pretty
cute. A friend of mine just bought a new
house so she'll be getting a nice gift
basket of household items for a
Christmas/Housewarming gift. I'm so glad I
can get these items and give to others now.
We used to always be in such a financial
bind (being a single mom) but RC has helped
me out more then you'll ever know! Thank you
all for your help and guidance!

"It has been years since I have been able to
double so I was planning way ahead for the
KMart doubling, collecting $1.50 and $2
coupons. Hubby David and I left home at
6:00 a.m. to get to the Dubuque Iowa KMart
at 7:00 a.m. For almost 2 hours I hunted
the aisles and each of us would put 4 of
each great deal in our cart. David had 65
items and his total was $207 and he paid
$32. I had 75 items and my total was $240
and I paid $36. Items that were free were
Endust, Pert shampoo, Olay and Zest soap.
Other good deals were Celestial Seasonings
tea for 50-cents a box, Revlon nail polish
for 14-cents, Scotch packing tape for
50-cents each. The cashier was a sweet
young girl who was very patient and seemed
happy about our savings. My mother will get
some of this in her Christmas basket, as
will my four adult children.
 The
second picture is from our stop at
Walgreens. I hit two stores and did 3
separate Reach toothbrush transactions,
using Buy One, Get One Free coupons. I
would pay $3.24 and out would come a $6
catalina, so I have $36 in catalinas to use
now. The Scotch tape was 2/$1 with their
coupon and I had $1.00 off 2 coupons, so
free tape! The Revlon mascara was on
clearance for $3.69 and I used $2 coupons
and at the end of the tape, two of them came
off the price due to being Buy One Get One
Free, so 2 mascaras for $1.69. What a fun
day with my husband and then we went out for
breakfast and to church afterwards. We are
going to a booksale later this week and will
stop at another KMart and see what else we
can get cheap or free with coupons." Mary
Kenyon

checking out everything I got from the
