Walgreens Deals This Week! *Purchased February 11, 2011*

Well, this week I was able to go shopping on a Sunday, which made me happy, although nothing I really needed had any good RR's with them, so they were all still in stock! HAHA Oh well! Can't win them all!! I did take my oldest son shopping with me, and he found a Bey Blade Toy for $9.99 he wanted, and even offered to give me his $10 Gift Card for it when we got home. I told him there was no need, however he insisted, he pay for it himself, in some fashion, which I was very proud of! :-D
This week I didnt get too much, and only had 1 transaction! Can you believe it!? LOL I have $2 in RR to use next week though! Yay me!!  Let's see what all I got!

(2) AirWick Scented Oil Refills (on sale for 2/$5 and I had 2 $1 off coupons, making them $1.50 each)
(2) Air Wick Scented Oil Warmers ( FREE with purchase of the oil - however I goofed and only got one free.. one was with a nightlight, and it was $1.99, but its ok, the boys needed a new nightlight in their room, and this will also keep the "Boy Smell" out! HAHA

Well, I am usually cautious about taking my husband and kids shopping with me, as I usually end up spending more than I want to, this trip was no exception, but we still did really well, considering! HAHA. Going into this trip, I was aware that I would get an additional $5 back if I spent $20 or more on Progresso Soups, Fiber ONe Bars, and Cheerios, so I found all the proper coupons, and I went for it! It turned out pretty well! Of course, I got the whole.. "Why do we need 4 boxes of cereal?" question, lol, and when I answered with, "It makes it cheaper!" I got a less than confused face lol.

I ran by Dollar General yesterday and enjoyed myself in the Christmas Clearance Aisle!

Walgreens Deals This Week! *Purchased January 25, 2011*

My Newest Walgreens Venture! 

All This For UNDER $5!!!

Transaction #1 - AquaFresh Kids Toothpaste - no coupon, but the kids needed some new toothpaste and it was on sale for $1.99.
                         Campbells Chicken Noodle Soup - on sale for $.49
                          3 boxes of Jello - on sale for $.50/box
                          Brut Deodorant - on sale for $1.50 and I had a $1 coupon. 

I also had a $3RR from last week making the total OOP for this transaction $1.60


Transaction #2 - (2) 1 Liter Bottles of Crest Pro-Health Complete - They were on sale for $4.99 with a $2 in store coupon, and I had (2) $2 coupons from the 12/26 P&G inserts, making them $.99 each.
                            (4) Hershey's Dark Chocolate with Almonds - Hersheys was on sale this week for $.49 each and I had (2) BOGO for Hershey's Dark Chocolate, making them $.25 each.
                            (1) Listerine Agent Cool Blue Pre Brush Kids Rinse. It was on sale for $2.99 and I had a $1 coupon.
                            (1) Campbell's Soup - on sale $.49

  I also used a $2RR left over from last week, this made the total OOP on this order only $3.30!

Now I must say, there was no one at the cosmetic counter, so I was forced to go up front, where a mgr. looking guy was checking out. This is the first time I had had contact with him, and it was nothing short of negative. I had a BOGO for Stayfree and he refused to take it because it wouldnt scan, so I let him know if he couldnt type it in, I was no longer interested in them, so he threw them down on the floor! Then he was very rude to say the least with the remainder of the transaction! He was pulling items out of bags and checking every little oz. and ct. on my products! Now, I understand, people try to cheat the system, but c'mon! He was being so ignorant and rude. I assume I will walk around aimlessly from here on out until someone shows up at the cosmetics counter!  But overall, I had a great trip! Under $5 spent!!

Purex Complete Crystals Softener GIVEAWAY!!!!

                              Purex Complete Crystal Softeners!

When I received my sample I could not wait to try it! The first thing I noticed was how good it smelt straight out of the box! This isn't one of those liquid softeners where you have to wait, listen, check, and hope you dont miss the rinse cycle for! This is as easy as putting it in at the beginning of the cycle! How easy!

This is a pure, 92% natural way of softening and freshening clothing! This product has unique crystals that work differently than traditionally used oil-based softeners.It doesn't coat the fabrics with oils, it infuses them with a long lasting freshness. Overtime the oils left behind from the tradionally used softeners can build up on your clothes and towels, but not the new Purex Complete Crystals! They will work in the exact opposite way by providing you with an ease of mind approach to laundry.

 

The Purex Crystals you can use with ease! There is no worrying about it causing build up, or discoloration, or wear on your fabrics. These crystals will:

•  Preserve the Flame Retardant benefits of your children's clothing
• Retain your athletic wears wicking ability - which helps draw sweat away from your body
• Maintain your towels ability to absorb water
• Keep your white clothing from yellowing and greying

The  Purex Crystals come in three AMAZING scents! Lavender Blossom, Fresh Spring Waters, and Tropical Splash!

The suggested retail price of the Purex Crystals is $3.99-$5.99 depending on your local retailer!

BUT WAIT you can WIN a bottle!! Being a Purex Insider has its perks, and one perk is being able to provide all my wonderful followers FREE PRODUCTS! I will be able to award 3 followers a FREE Bottle of PUREX CRYSTAL SOFTENER!
