First I really have to apologize for my absence, I know I don't have a huge following, but I do feel like I've been slacking, we are still packing for my husband to leave for 400 plus days! (Which is sadly any day now within the week.) It has made preparing for him to go SO nice though to just pick from the shelves and bins of our stockpile to send him off with all the body wash, toothpaste, toothbrushes, dish soap, lotion, dental floss, snacks, and so many other things that we got for FREE, or close to free. It will drastically cut down his spending when we'll be on a very strict budgets with two households basically on one income, and it will cut down his trips to the store allowing him to rest whenever he can :).
Now, back to some deals.
This is on of the best deals in a VERY long time:
I followed a scenario from Crystal at Money Saving Mom and got the following:
4- 6oz Lubiderm Daily Moisture Lotions $3.99 each
2- 2.5 oz Aveeno Active Naturals daily moisture $3.29 each
2- 5 oz ROC Exfoliating Cleansers $8.49-$9.99 each
Use:
4- $2/1 Lubiderm from 1/10 SS or from here
2- $2/1 Aveeno Baby or Body (Active Naturals Face will work as well) From 1/10 SS or from here
2- $3/1 ROC 1/10 SS or from here
$1/1 Lubiderm Lotion from Diabetes and You Magazine (located by pharmacy if you don't already have one) - will deduct $4
These products are all buy 1, get 1 50% off this week, according to the scenario you would pay $8.85 plus tax OOP and submit for $10 when you buy $30 Johnson and Johnson rebate...
HOWEVER-
I did this and ONLY bought these products, only used THESE coupons and my total came to a mere $1.92! I didn't use a single RR either!
So perhaps the store I went to was ringing differently, or perhaps the original source for the scenario hadn't ACTUALLY tried it, which is the case with A LOT of blogs.
Either way it's free stuff! In my case I'll be making a $7.60 profit after postage!
Some other great deals this week:
BIC Soliel and Comfort 3 - on sale 2 for $10
use: B1G1 Free in 1/10 SS
and $3/2 from Walgreens January coupon booklet
= $1.00 plus tax for each set of razors- and I was skeptical but I tried a Twilight today- and they were awesome!
Nivea Body wash on sale for $4.99, $2.00 in RRs
Use $2/1 Nivea Body Wash from 1/3 insert
= $0.99 after coupon and RRs
Oust Spray- B1G1 Free this week at Wags,
use B1G1 Free coupon from 1/3 and get BOTH for free!
(some stores may require you actually buy one, in that case, buy 1 and get 3 free!)
= as low as free for 2!
Bayer Meters are still $14.99 all month long, you can buy a Breeze2 and a Contour
use 2-$30/1 Bayer Meter Coupons
= FREE, PLUS $13 in RRs for every two that you buy, $5 for each plus $3 for buying 2 bayer products!
Colgate toothpaste - Max White or Max Fresh, on sale $2.99, get $2 in RRs
use $0.75/1 from 1/3 insert
= as low as $0.24 after coupons and RRs
Check out some other great deals for Walgreens, CVS, and Rite Aid here
happy hugging!

Earth's Best Diapers for as low as $1.50 a pack!
I apologize for my hiatus, we've had a lot going on with a recent move from KY to WI and on top of that preparing for my husband to leave on a mission for over a year! Busy, busy bees.
Anyways, we made a trip to Toys R Us today for some cheap diapers, we have been using cloth, but the next best thing are environmentally friendly sposies- and that these are! They are chlorine free and made of earth-friendly materials. With the move and DH leaving for so long we are trying to lighten my load so we stocked up for super cheap, I got 18 packs of diapers for $31.50 plus tax!
Earth's Best Jumbo packs of diapers are on sale Today and Tomorrow ONLY for $5 a pack, and if that wasn't a great deal it gets even sweeter!
There was an Earth's Best Printable for $1.50/1 but it's no longer available, it expired at 12:01am today, so I apologize for not having that link, but you can go here and print a $2/1 coupon for Earth's Best (this Q can also be found in the in-store ad as well)
Between my sister and I we scored 24 packs of diapers for under $45!
I'm so thrilled! They didn't have a lot of the sizes I needed- so I grabbed a few in larger sizes (or you could get newborn and 1's) I just plan to do an even exchange when they restock with the sizes I'll need in the near future (3's and 4's).
happy hugging!
I promise to be back soon with some excellent deals for the New Year! Don't forget to grab your 1/3/2010 papers- they're rumored to have over 5 inserts in some areas!!!

My Walgreen's Rant
So I LOVE Walgreens, let me just put that out there first.
However, I am getting so irritated with their lack of stock, EVERY time I go in to find something whether advertised freebie or not - they NEVER have it. Now, if I was going the last day of every sale every week, or if I was going in and buying all they had and complaining because they wouldn't restock it would be one thing, but I literally make it in the first two or three days of every week and they are always out! I'm not talking one Walgreens either, I visit all three stores within 20 min of my house and there were ALL out of what I was looking for, 1 store of the three had ONE of ONE product.
Come on Walgreens, can't you PLEASE learn to stock things a LITTLE better? Especially if it's advertised!
Ok, rant over... my irritation however, is still very much here.
We'll be moving soon, hopefully that Walgreens will be much better stocked!
Do you ever have problems with things being in-stock at your Walgreens?

I usually always pay $0.50 or $1.00 for a package of 4 products with the combined coupons and seeing Target is always out of the holiday Glade for the $5 giftcard deal. I also REALLY wish Walgreens carried the holiday Glade, I LOVE the holiday glade, and Target is ALWAYS out!
Check out the end of this post and find out how to make this glade purchase a $15 Money Maker!

Total: $6.33 OOP with tax, and $1 in RR back!
total savings = $15.98
(I forgot to grab fillers and the stuff near the counter just wasn't worth it, so I didn't use any previous RR's on this transaction, sadly I think it's my worst purchase savings-wise in over a month! It was still a great deal though, and you can't beat still saving over 73%!)
Walgreen's also has a 4 day sale flyer this week as well with specials from the 12/2-12/5, I'm going to see if I can't find a way to get some better deals with the last few RRs I have expiring at the end of the week!
Please share any deals you found this week at Walgreens! I know I'm hoping some better RR deals come out next week!
