Dove Visibly Smooth Coupon

The Visibly Smooth Line is a new deodorant that's just recently been released by Dove. It comes in Wild Rose and Nature fresh with a Pro-Epil Complex that reduces the look and feel of underarm hair over time. This product already has me swooning. I wore it today and love it. To make it even better it was free at K-Mart with the $2/1 printable. If you don't have a chance to swing by K-Mart, keep the coupon because chances are there will be another deal as it's a newer product.

Kellogg's Coupons

After reading on several blogs that the $1/1 Kellogg's coupons had recently been reset I started searching and couldn't find them anywhere. Thanks to Deal Seeking Mom these mysterious coupons have been found. She pointed out that they could be accessed through the Kellogg's website. Duh ;) I should have known that.

Go here to print your coupons. You can print 2 of each.

I've been using them at K-Mart this week for $.75 boxes of cereal. Frosted Mini-Wheats, Special K, Frosted Flakes and Raisin Bran Crunch are part of the 4/$11 deal.

Thank You Walgreen's....

....for paying me to shop.

This was by far my most profitable Walgreen's week. I started off with about $10 in random RR's. I paid hardly any money OOP for each transaction (if anything at all) and most of the time it was just tax. Fillers aren't pictured.

(5) Bayer Meters on Sale for $14.99
*Used (5) Bayer coupons that took off $14.99 for each (done in separate transactions)
*Received $5 RR for each Meter
Final Cost = $25.00 MONEY MAKER!
Note: I didn't have to pay anything for tax so these were completely free for me. I then used these RR's to roll into all my other products.

(8) Scotch Tape on Sale $.99 with IVC
*Used $1.00
Final Price = FREE

(8) Ecotrin on Sale $2.00
*Received $2 RR for each

Note: I rolled my ConAir and Chapstick RR's into these.

(10) Assorted Got2Be Products on Sale 2/$10

Final Price = $1/2 and $6.00 for all!!

*Used (2) $1/1 IP's
*Received $2 RR
Final Price = $3/2

I have over $60 in RR's left after all this and 5 more coupons left for Bayer. Some of my purchases aren't even pictured. My Rembrandt overage paid for my Got2be, my Nivea overage paid for the TRESemme etc...All in all I spent about $5 OOP on fillers and received far more back in RR's. All in all it was a fabulous freakin' week.

K-Mart, you have my heart

Last year I hadn't stepped foot in a K-Mart in over a year...possibly more. Now, I puffy heart them. I made another trip there last night for some cheap cereal for my stockpile and found a few more things. Transaction went easy and cashier was more than nice.

I'll blog more on why I got these later.

K-Mart, you have my heart but only on Super Doubles ;)

Harpers Island Episode Four

Harper's Island Episode Four "Bang"

This episode veered more towards plot thickening than killing. Only one person was killed and more unanswered questions came into play. I'm still not anywhere near revealing my thoughts on who the killer may be...

Who was Killed?

Joel Booth: He was shot in the leg. The bullet hit a major artery and he bled out. Poor guy! It made it seem as though he shot himself but I am doubting this. His finger was not on the trigger when the gun went off and the light flashed. This scene left me wondering.....Obviously the previews are misleading because Joel is shown in a scene that hasn't aired yet.

Some clues I picked up from the show:

*Robin finally makes an appearance on Harper's Island. The scene was interesting and I was not expecting Robin to act the way she did.

*The fortune teller spoke of Trish's "Betrayer" and "Savior". Was she talking about Richard or is it something more?

I'd really love to know who broke the dishes, what the fortune teller saw when she had Abby's necklace, where the money came from and why no one has realized Lucy is missing.

Also, here is a synopsis of the fourth episode from HarpersGlobe.com.

Here is a preview for the Fifth Episode:

Thwack will be the fifth episode of Harper's Island, and is scheduled to be broadcast on May 9, 2009.

The official CBS summary reads: "A father/daughter bike ride in the woods leads to a startling revelation. Abby uncovers the Sheriff's secret obsession as Trish and Henry's wedding rehearsal takes an unexpected turn."

Crabby Friday

*I slept maybe 2 hours last night. I'm exhausted. I had a migraine all last night and couldn't fall asleep until 1 o'clock and then I woke up at 2 to find that Cowboy had gotten a hold of a bag of Chex Mix and was DESTROYING it. He had also managed to get through the block off to the kitchen and pull paper plates out of the trash and eat them. I had one hell of a mess to clean up. This dog just doesn't get it....Back to kenneling we go.

*If my neighbor keeps parking his Hummer on my grass because it wont fit in his driveway or correctly in the street, I'm going to have it towed by the most run down, janky tow company I can find. I'll give them an extra $20 just to give him crap. Stay the hell off my grass dude. It's not my problem you purchased a vehicle to large for a small suburban neighborhood.

*My accident has me totally freaked out. When I drive I'm scared of getting hit, when I'm at home I'm scared of that psycho. Driving is stressful and I've been coming home tense and irritable. My knuckles hurt from holding so tight on my steering wheel and my head hurts from all the stress. I can't listen to my music very loud because I feel it's a distraction. When I see an accident my stomachs starts to ache and screeching wheels and horns give me the chills. I can't wait for this fear to wear off and all of this stress to come to an end.

This weekend needs to be full of R&R or my crabbiness is going to carry into next week.

Gah!

Appreciate the Small Things....

Meet the smallest member in our family, Kit. Or as DH calls him, DC. I'm sure you know what that stands for ::wink:: I may seem biased when it comes to my animals because I seem to talk quit a bit more about my dogs, possibly to the point I'm sure some of our friends and family don't even know we have a cat. We have only had him for a couple years and still I get a "Oh, I didn't know you had a cat" on occasion.

Kit started out as a temporary foster and turned into a forever cat when I just wouldn't give him back to his original owners. Long story but Kit was very different when he first came to us...then he is now.

I'm sure all pet owners says this but Kit isn't any normal cat. For starters, he about twice as big as a normal domestic house cat. He is very, very heavy too. I can barely hold him. He sleeps upside down and is obsessed with cardboard boxes. We have to keep one empty in the office just for him to lay in.

Every morning when my husbands alarm turns on, Kit gets up and walks all over him, purring and meowing until he wakes up. Kit has saved my sleepy husband numerous times when he is in such a deep sleep that he cannot hear his alarm because without fail when that it goes off, Kit starts that morning ritual of waking DH up. My husband is rarely late to work with Kit as a personal alarm clock

Kit "talks" and "listens". I know it sounds weird but that damn cat is so smart. He has learned to associate words (like treat, tuna, outside etc..) with actions just as the dogs have and reacts accordingly. He is amazing. He also has a very recognizable meow's when he wants food and when he wants to be let downstairs. They are very different from the normal meow and both are very unique. We have all learned them and if we ignore them, he starts trouble! He will race through the house, jump up on the kitchen table or counters, run through our legs and scratch at the doorknob until someone pays attention to his needs. His behavior is hard to deny. The kids call him "Psycho Kitty" when he acts like this.

Kit is the leader among the animals in our house. He is also the disciplinarian. He swats the dogs when they counter surf, he swats them when they bark, he swats them when they steal his food but nothing compares to what he does when I catch them getting in trouble. He beats the living crap out of them! I cannot discipline the dogs around Kit or he lashes out at them. If I raise my voice at them or say "NO" to them he runs from wherever he is napping, puts back his ears, hisses and starts letting claws fly. I'll admit it, I laugh hysterically when Kit does this. I seriously cannot help it. There is nothing funnier than watching a cat make a 50 lb dog look like a wuss. These poor dogs bow down to Kit.

This furball has a huge piece of my heart and is an amazing addition to our family. I think Kit is grateful for the life we have provided him and lets us know each and every day. We really don't know what our lives would be without him.

K-Mart Double Deals 5.3

This K-Mart promotion was clearly hindered by the ad misprint. I arrived at 7:45 a.m. to find the parking lot empty. By the time 8:00 rolled around there were 4 of us that strolled in. I shopped in silence and got everything I needed. Not everything I wanted though. The stock had not been replenished or everything had been pulled. I checked the night before and the Hershey's Bliss was stocked well but when I returned this morning it was mysteriously gone...I guess the rumors were true about managers pulling items for the promotion. Also, almost everything I had coupons for and that I planned on getting had received a price raise. Ugh, whatever.

All in all things went well though. Here is what I got in 2 transactions.

Transaction #1:

I don't know how in the heck my total became what it was but I only paid $.15 OOP for this transaction. The cashier rang up each set of identical items and then scanned the coupon. I wasn't paying much attention but it seemed as though the computer was giving overage...It must of because in the end I was in the negative $1.53. I gave $1.00 to March of Dimes and my total came to $.15!

I spoke with a manager about the next doubles and she said there was word it would be June 7th. If this is so...I'll be ready ;)

K-Mart Doubles Event

The new ad's are up on K-Mart.com! Find your weekly ad to see if your store is participating. Mine is yet again taking part in this promotion. Yeah!

I am hearing tons of talk about the ad being a misprint. I am hearing if your store is doubling then they are doing so up to $2.00. Please call or write an email to your local K-Mart to check this first before planning your trip. I have confirmed this at my location as of today they say they are doubling up to $2.

Unfortunately, I didn't know about it until today so I'm lagging behind in getting coupons. I will be making a trip today to check prices and post deals. I'll be concentrating on match-ups from the two most recent Sunday Papers and available printables.

Harpers Island Episode Three

Harper's Island Episode Three "Ka-Blam"

Could this post be any later? I wanted to post this earlier in the week/weekend but someone (wont mention any names...Mom) hadn't watched the episode yet. Then I completely forgot! Oh well, here we go.

Who was Killed?

Hunter Jennings: Hunter was killed by a booby trapped engine compartment on the boat. It was rigged with a shot gun and when he opened it, Ka Blam! He was shot in the head. I was shocked that hunter died this way. I was glad to see him go though.

Some clues I picked up from the show:

*We now know who the tattoo belonged to. Kelly and it seemed to be one of many attributed to John Wakefield. We also learn her ex-boyfriend Shane gave her the tattoos.

*It was indeed Uncle Marty's bag in the boat with Hunter....but how did he get it?

*The shotgun that was used to kill Hunter was from the Candlewick Inn. Another link back to the killer possibly staying at the Inn.

*The boat was rigged to stall or run out of gas....Henry worked with and grew up with boats. Interesting....

*There was a gun on the bed in the Wellington suite in the scene with Richard and Katherine.

Also, here is a synopsis of the third episode from HarpersGlobe.com.

Here is a preview for the Fourth Episode:

"Bang" will be the fourth episode of Harper's Island, and is scheduled to be broadcast on May 2, 2009.

The official CBS summary reads: "The groomsmen take Henry Dunn fishing for his bachelor party and make a gruesome discovery. The bridesmaids celebrate Trish Wellington's final days as a bachelorette with a psychic who has a very strong reaction to Abby Mills".

Walgreen's Trippin'

The last few trips were so bitter sweet for me. I had a couple of RR's that I needed to roll into rebates so I decided to go with the Physicians Formula. As you know the Easy Saver Rebate Program and the Catalog has ended at Walgreen's so I had to get my one last deal in before I submitted. I have 3 $3 RR's from Edge shave gel to spend. I paid down my OOP for the Degree, Chapstick and Pledge with the Edge RR's.

Now at checkout I have 8 products but only 6 coupons (IVC's don't count towards total coupon count) I use the Chapstick and the other Soy Joy as fillers to use my $6 RR's.

My Total Before RR's is: $15.79 (plus tax)
My Total After (2) $6.00 RR's is: $3.79 and I also received a $2 RR for the Chapstick!!

I'll be getting back $10.00 for my rebate + 10% for having it go on my card = $11.00

So I only paid $.08 for the makeup and my RR's are rolled into my card where they cannot expire!

I battled K-Mart and I won

I cannot tell you how nervous I was for this promotion at K-Mart. After everything I'd heard about the register not recognizing coupons, cashier entering in wrong coupons and items not being available I was unsure if I even wanted to brave this one.

This was my first real K-Mart Double and Triple Event. I grabbed a few things and the one in January just to see how everything worked. So, I began to save coupons to prep for one in the future and just when I thought another one would never come, I find out the DAY BEFORE that it is actually coming to St. Louis and to my local store. I called 2 weeks prior to the event and the manager said they would not be participating so I had to rush to get my coupons together last minute. I did the best I could and I am happy with the results. Word of advice if it comes around again, don't sleep in. Be there when it opens. It's worth it.

The Rules: There was a 25 item limit per person, per day and a limit of 4 on identical coupons. I didn't follow this very well but that's typical for me. I did 2 transactions the first day and the other three the following few days. I also purchased 20 of one product using 20 coupons and 14 of another using 14 coupons but I asked ahead of time and they said it was Ok. It was an item not a lot of people had coupons for so what wasn't hot for anyone else was hot for me!

Also, any coupon value up to $.75 could be tripled and any coupon above $.75 and to $4.00 could be doubled. Internet Printables (IP's) were accepted. All coupons doubled but none would produce overage. Let's take the Aveeno for example: It's regularly priced at $3.19 and I had coupons for $2/1. The register takes off the initial $2.00 and then another $1.19.

Note: This was the funniest transaction! KY, TP and Energy Drinks! I planned it this way because I can't help but make a cashier blush. She didn't even flinch but I giggled during the whole transaction. She probably thought I was in for the night of my life. Ha Ha!

I'm sure your asking what I'll do with all the KY huh? Sell it. I sold half of it on Ebay already. Pretty little profit :)

I still have some shopping to do today to finish out my coupons but in case I don't I thought I might as well post while I had time to. Also, I heard from a little bird (HCW) that the next event could be as soon as 5.2!

Things are looking up!

But, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm hoping things can get back to normal soon because I'm not sure we can take anymore stress. For now though, things are getting much better.

Police Investigation revealed the driver had active insurance on the vehicle. Or should I say his mother did. At that age, who'd mother carries insurance on their son's vehicle? His girlfriend should be so proud of her boyfriend. What a winner!

I've been dealing with the insurance company for the last week. At times, I want to pull my hair out. This is a public blog so we wont get to far into it but the bottom line is they have accepted responsibility for the accident. My car went from being looked at by a rep for the company, then to my mechanic and is now sitting at a transmission company. So far my exterior damage is $1,800.00, not bad considering I was hit by a boat. I'm proud of my Honda!

Until, my car is finished being looked at by the mechanic they gave me this zippy little Mazda 5 to drive around. My car has an upgraded/faster engine so I'm used to getting up and going and when I first walked out and saw this, I couldn't help but think "Oh great, a grandma car". No way!

I'll be sad to return it but I can't wait to settle the accident portion of my claim.

As for the injury portion, I've hired an attorney to settle this. The insurance company is not taking me serious and I'm not letting it slide. I wont even get in to their offer because we are no where near settlement but it was a HUGE smack in the face after all the pain and stress I went through re-guarding the accident.

I also have news on the house but I'll save that for later post :)

Ecotrin 45 count Tablets on Sale $2.00

*Receive $2.00 RR

Remember: Only 1 RR deal good per transaction. If you purchase more than one IDENTICAL RR item in one transaction, only one RR will print.

Here is my rolling scenario for the Bayer, Ecotrin and the Nivea:

Transaction #1:

Bayer Blood Glucose Monitor = $14.99
- coupon = pay only tax
Receive $5.00 RR

Transaction #2:

Nivea Body Wash = $4.99
- $1/1 coupon = $3.99
Ecotrin = $2.00 (not using $1/1 coupon)
- $5.00 Bayer RR

Pay $.99 + tax out of pocket and receive $5.00 RR from Nivea and $2.00 RR from Ecotrin

Rinse and Repeat!!!

You could use another filler or fillers when doing Transaction #2 but they have to total $1.01 or more because the register will not take a RR to pay for any tax. Your total has to equal $5.00 BEFORE tax. You also have to make sure you don't have more coupons than items or register will not take the coupons.
