Upcoming deals, July 2010

I haven't seen anything super exciting in the ads this week. I am planning to use the $10 new prescription offer at Target. While there I will probably buy a few more AirWick starter sets for $4 49 and use $4 off coupons. There are some great clothing coupons on Target.com this week so I will look for some deals. You can combine the Target store coupon and the Glade manufacturer coupon to get fabric refresher for 49 cents. I am also going to head over to another Famous Footwear to use my $10 off $10 coupon and hopefully find some shoes this time but socks are ok too.

Friday, July 9th Part 2

I had a great Rite Aid trip. I did two separate transactions. I bought 2 bottles of Pantene which were free with coupons and Up rewards, Renu contact lens solution which had a full rebate plus I used a $2 coupon to make it a $2 money maker, and a Gillete Fusion razor which was $9.99 less my $4 coupon and the Rite Aid $5/$25 the cost was 99 cents but produced a $5 off next purchase coupon so $4.01 money maker. My second transaction I bought a big bottle of Aleve (used free product coupon from emailing company) and a Shick razor for $9.99 less a $4 coupon and another $5/$25, bringing my total to $1. I will get back $7.29 for the Renu and $9.99 for the Schick razor and have $7 to use at Rite Aid next time. Spent $2, made $24.

July Challenge, Friday July 9th

My wonderful husband granted me from free time in the afternoon so I made a trip to Rite Aid and few Kohl's stores. I had found a super cute outfit for my daughter and was hoping to find it in the other colors. Since turning nine so has become so difficult to shop for. Nothing from Gymboree or Children's Place, nothing pink, with flowers or butterflies and don't even consider buying anything from Target or Ross. I have expanded my horizons a bit and have found that I can get a good deal at Gap and Limited Too if I look hard enough. I think it makes more sense to spend a little more on something she will actually wear and get use of then to have a bunch of deals sitting in the closet never used. And the higher end clothes fetch a lot more at the consignment store when she outgrows them. So here is what I was able to get at Kohl's:

Girl's:

2 pairs Shorts, reg$30, marked down to $6 less 15% off coupon and $5 Kohl's cash= 92 cents

2 T shirts $2 each,bought with shorts for boy at $2.40= $1.45
3 Candies tops marked down to $6 each, 92 cents each after discounts
1 pair of Candies shorts " "
1 pair Candies capri jeans " "

Boys:
3 sets of Carter's pajama's,3 piece sets

1 pair Carter's shorts, purchased with above t shirts for $1.45 total

shorts/t shirt set $7.20 less 15% and $5 Kohl's cash

So I am calling this about $125 in value. I had "virtually" no out of pocket. I used Kohl's cash (look on Ebay or sign up on the Kohl's website) and a gift card for about $15 from returns.

Sunday, July 11th, July Challenge

I have a few days to catch up on here. Today I cashed in some points I had with Testspin for taking surveys. $8.20 to my Paypal account. I went to Famous Footwear to use the $10 off Facebook coupons I had. I bought a 6 pk of socks for my daughter and an extra set of shoelaces for 52 cents and a 7 pack of boys socks and another 3 pack for $1.07. I am adding this in as a $20 value so I'm calling it $27.03 for the day.
