On vacation!

It was time for Jamie to leave and go to his new assignment at Ft. Eustis in Virginia. The two weeks sure went by quickly, and I just wasn't ready to say good-bye yet! So, on a whim, Rowan and I decided we would join him! Now, anyone who knows me even a LITTLE bit, can tell you that I am no longer a last-minute, fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal! THIS WAS HUGE! I told Jamie that I was considering joining him, and of course he was thrilled!
Jamie was packing, it was noonish, and he wanted to leave before dinner time! WHOA!!! I had a lot to do in very LITTLE time! I managed to get the house picked up, get packed, get Rowan and myself showered and ready, and we headed out the door for a long road trip!
It took us a little over ten hours to get from home to West Virginia, and we are not even half way to our final destination yet! We are enjoying a weekend with the family before we head to Ft. Eustis!
When we get there, we will first be house hunting, but what I am most excited about is taking Rowan to the beach! :)
I'll keep yas posted on our adventure!

I'm BAAAAAAAAAACK!

Hi all! So, I have been super busy with my hubby being home, and haven't made much time to keep up my blog. SORRY!!!

Today was a pretty good day for coupons for me. I will give a brief overview of what I got at Walgreen's:

RR= REGISTER REWARD
OOP= OUT OF POCKET
MFC= MANUFACTURER COUPONS

2 Tylenol Cold and Sinus 24 ct. 5.99 each (BUY TWO, GET $5 RR)
I used two $2/1 Tylenol coupons
I used two $1/1 Wags coupons (Healthy Living Booklet at the pharmacy)
_______________________________
2.99 ea. OOP
2/$5.98
$5.00 RR
(.49 EA. AFTER RR AND Q)

1.49 OOP

(+ $1.00 AFTER RR AND Q)

_______________________________
.99 OOP

I also found some fun items back in the clearance section! I don't know about your store, but my Walgreen's is usually pretty slim in the clearance aisle! Not to mention, the prices just aren't what I consider "clearance". Well, today I was pleasantly surprised to find some fun Spring trays, books, shredder scissors and PINK Sharpies for just 25 cents! :-) These made GREAT filler items.

After all was said and done, this is what I ended up with:
8 Thermacare patches
2 Airwick starter kits
1 pink Sharpie
2 trays
2 Tylenol C&S
1 Shredder Scissor

for an out of pocket cost of only $6.05! *My scissors wrung up wrong, at $3.69*
I earned back $25 in RR to use for next week. Very exciting!

Walgreen's September coupon book!

I am loving the new Walgreen's coupons books. Walgreens PROMISED when they got rid of the Easy Savers program, that they would make up for it with more coupons and more register rewards! I am liking the coupons!

This month, we have some new items up for grab. The coupon book can be found at the store entrance by the weekly ads, so be sure to pick one up!

Go HERE to see the list of all the coupons offered!

Extra Walgreen's Coupons!

WALGREEN'S CHILDREN'S ACTIVITY BOOK JUST 99 Cents!

The activity book can usually be found in the children's toy aisle, with the other coloring books, near the pharmacy, or in the center aisle that holds all the seasonal items. If you cannot find one, ask someone that works there to help you. It will be well worth it!

Inside, you will find some magnificent coupons that can save you $19.00 or MORE!!!

Here's a tip: MOST Walgreen's employees will let you keep your coupon after you use it. Simply do NOT detach the coupon, just show them the coupon inside the activity book...close it after they scan it, and save it to use time and time again! These coupons do not expire until March 30th, 2010!!!
