Free Huggies Wipes

There may still be some people, like I was, who don't know about this- the $1/1 "Huggies Bath and Body product" coupons work on baby wipes.
The small soft packs of Huggies wipes are $1 at Kroger this week, so free after coupon! I've stocked up in the past, and now that I have more coupons... stocking up again. I use cloth wipes mostly, since they're cheaper, easier, better for baby's bottom and work a LOT better, but if I can get them free, disposable wipes are easier for going out of the house.

A few Kroger and Rite Aid Deals

I picked up some deals at Kroger and Rite Aid. Strangely, the Sure deodorant was $.30 more expensive at the RA that had them in stock, so I am going to attempt to exchange them at the cheap Rite Aid for the difference. We'll see if they let me.

Kroger, Rite Aid, Walgreens

I went to Wags again hoping to find more Ecotrin since LAGirl sent me a bunch of coupons I hadn't been able to use yet, and almost everyone in my family is on aspirin therapy and takes baby aspirin one-a-day, but alas, no Ecotrin. (Also still looking for more meters- but no more of those either). I did get a few more insect repellants that had to be price-adjusted b/c the signage hadn't been updated from a sale price, so I got them at the sale price even though they were no longer on sale. Whee!
Then a few things from Kroger that were cheap/free and I can't find one receipt, but when I do, I'll add those to my totals. And Rite Aid for the cheap sunscreen b/c we go through a ton of that in the summer with our northern-European white skin. :)

Kroger
Went to Kroger the first time and saw Organic Valley chocolate milk on clearance, and I knew I had a bunch of coupons at home, so I went home for the coupons and came back to get those and some a few other clearance items and some mac and cheese for my Mom. Wouldn't you know it, on the second trip I discovered the Eggland's eggs were marked down to $1.59/dozen. And I have coupons for those...at home! ugh. So I am hoping those will still be on sale tomorrow even though it's a new ad-week because we eat a TON of eggs and that's an awesome deal!

Walgreens, Walgreens, Walgreens and Kroger

Had to go check in with my favorite Wags manager to see if my monitors were in, and then Doug called me and said that the Wags he was just at had two of them- so we headed up that direction.

I bought two Monitors at the Wags he saw, then my Wags had ten monitors for me. I asked them to try to get 15 more in. I have 17 coupons left. Surely I can find 17 more in the next week, even if I have to go to every Wags in Nashville. Ok. Maybe not. That's a lot of Wags. There's practically one on every corner. I also had to buy a birthday gift for a girl in N's soccer team, whose party she is going to on Saturday, so we used one of our $10rrs for that.

12 Bayer Contour Monitors
1 Sidewalk chalk kit
1 Disney Princess card game set
Total oop: $13.42 (mostly tax)
earned: $110 rr's

Kroger:
6 Velveeta shells and cheese
2 Lysol toilet cling
2 dz medium eggs (mgr special)
Total oop: $3.96

Another Publix trip

I couldn't resist the new Target printable deals, so we went to Publix again today. I also swung by Kroger and CVS while in the area. CVS didn't have anything I was looking for so I just got some Boost for my grandmother to use a coupon before it expired and got two of the Sobe lifewaters as fillers (since they were bogo. No coupons). Spent $.86 there after a $5 ecb (my grandmother gave me $ for her Boost and I earned one ecb for it).

Publix
I should point out here that the cashier totally messed up my coupons. She got way confused because I had so many competitor coupons that looked alike and I can't figure out what she did, but she entered toooo many coupons! (my printables never want to scan so they have to be manually entered). Once my total was down to around 5-ish dollars, and she still had 11 $1 coupons to scan, I knew something was wrong. I tried to figure it out with no luck, so she just scanned three more q's and I paid $2.40 and she handed me 8 coupons back. I dunno what happened, but I tried to help her figure it out! She wasn't too worried about it.
