$10 Tues(Wednes)day!

Like, woah! The last $10 Tuesday was in July. I'm hoping the holidays will get me back in the bargain hunting spirit. So far, I'm doing a crappy job - $10 Tuesday is on Wednesday. Sorry.

My loot: a long strand matte silver necklace (clearance + 20% off coupon), a long-sleeved sleepshirt (adore the stripes and the little pocket; clearance + $3 off coupon) and a super soft red sweater (sale + $4 off coupon). All coupons printed at Target.com. All items purchased at Target on 9 Mile in Pensacola.

Aside: I know the sweater is great because I already own it in two other colors. Oatmeal and what I thought was white & navy stripes. I'm wearing the stripes today and styled myself in a slightly nautical fashion - nothing overboard (ha), just silver jewelry, dark brown leather shoes and windy hair. I noticed mid-day that the stripes are white and black. Shoot.

Free Stuff for Your Downstairs Business!


I’m back and I’m ready to save money! Sorry for the whole missing in action thing. I was cultivating a relationship with a really awesome man (they do still exist in single serving!) and transitioning into a new job, blah, blah, blah, grown up words. On to the savings...

I signed up for JCPenney Rewards (you can too). This is not a credit card – just a rewards program. You earn points for purchases and the points add up to rewards. You must earn 250 in one month to earn $10. I will probably never do this. $250/month at JCP. Are they kidding?!? You get a bunch of points for signing up so it’s possible to reach 250 your first month pretty easily. Today I received two coupons – I don’t know why as I haven’t made any purchases this month. One coupon was for $10 off any Ambrielle bra and one was for a free Ambrielle panty. I’m a sucker for free panties. I have a pair (why are they called a pair?) from VS with little rhinestones that spell out “Bride”. I’ve never been a bride but you bet your sweet bippy I wear the free panty.

So I went to JCP during lunch and picked up my free seamless panty (normally $12), a bra on clearance (you can use the $10 off coupon on clearance items), the aforementioned bra’s matching clearance panty and a clearance tee. Grand total: $12.97.

I also learned a couple things:
(1) JCP corporate sends out coupons without informing their employees. If you are the first to use the coupon, they may not know what to do with it and may need to stare at it for a while and call other people over to stare at it. And they’ll most likely stare at you for a while too. You can try very sweetly asking them to just scan it and see if it works. They may listen. They may turn their stare into a scowl.
(2) The JCP lady who helped me does not know how to pronounce “Ambrielle”.

Interact with me! Do you correct other’s mispronunciations? Is it douche-y? Do you want to punch people in the ear-hole for things like that or do you think “gosh, thanks for helping me talk purdy”?

A Lesson in Greed

I've posted a couple times about picking up soda deals. I have enough soda. I did not need to buy more soda this week, but I did it anyway. I didn't post about it because you don't want to read about my soda anymore and the greed shames me. The greed also came looking for my butt like that wispy final destination air monster (WFDAM)...
I was lazy after my 4 for $10 Diet Dr. Pepper purchase and left 3 twelve packs in my car. In Florida. In August. On my way home from work yesterday, one pack (yeah, all twelve cans) exploded. Imagine, if you will, how 12 exploding cans might sound and the way soda running down your back might feel. I thought I had been shot. No worries, I am still alive (allegedly) much to the chagrin of WFDAM.
In my defense, I need to hoard soda as I will soon be without a job. Soda will be my only sustenance. And probably my bed.

And the winner is...

Crystal Tyler Schnoor! Congrats on winning Milton Milk Money's first contest. Your prize will arrive shortly.

Update and a random bird

First, don't forget to enter the contest! Entries must be in by July 31 at midnight.

Second, a little follow-up on yesterday's post. I tried the Nuance Makeup Remover that I rambled incessantly about. It's pretty great! A few gentle swipes and my hot tranny mess lashes that I love so dearly were clean as a whistle. I forgot to try the moisturizer (yeah, my face is gonna fall off). I did remember the Age Renewal Anti-Oxidant Day Lotion this morning. It goes on like sunscreen. I kinda hate it so far - just feels too heavy. I'll keep using it and see if it works like a miracle on my skin. If it does, I'll deal with the heavy. If not, I'll give Sally's (Salma's) creams and serums a try since I love her makeup remover so much.

No post-related photo today. I have been thinking a lot about guineas lately though.

Free pens + Jen rambles incessantly about peeper removal

If the only thing you seem to be successful at lately is getting older (like me), and you have not yet started to slather creams on your face morning, noon and night (like me) and you read that article in InStyle that made you realize you should have been slathering yourself for at least the last ten years but you haven’t so your face is probably going to shrivel up and fall off before you turn 35 (like me)…this post is for you! No super great deals. Just mediocre deals on skin care.

I’m not a product snob about many things (just Viva paper towels, Seventh Generation dish soap & detergent, Diet Dr. Pepper, and anti- Apple), so I decided to give the CVS skincare products a go. They are B1G1 50% off this week. I picked up the Age Renewal Anti-Oxidant Day Lotion (that InStyle says I should have started using in my twenties) and the Age Renewal Deep Wrinkle Moisturizer (cause InStyle says you should use something with Retinol in it when you hit your thirties).

I also picked up a bottle of Nuance (by Salma Hayek) Dual Phase Makeup Remover. I take serious issue with most makeup removers. Here’s why: I’m super crazy about mascara. I want people to look at me and think “geez, those lashes are so thick and dark and long and insane; they must be super heavy; how does she keep those peepers open?” EVERY makeup remover I have EVER tried has been a disappointment. I have to scrub my lashes with a q-tip until I swear my eyes are about to fall out. I want a remover that I can gently swipe across my lashes and that’s it. No more scrubbing and cursing the day makeup remover was born. Cause I’m a lady.

Anyway, the Nuance remover is really pretty – it’s pink and clear and has iris silhouettes on it. Salma – Sally – I’m gonna call her Sally (Salma makes me wanna brush my teeth) – says (on the bottle) her products are inspired by her grandmother and are designed to help every woman enhance her individual beauty. Grandmothers are one my favorite types of people. And I want to be beautiful. It’s made of fun things like cucumber and rosewater and prickly pear. (BTW, the best margarita I ever tasted was prickly pear.) (I’m such a sucker for the word “rosewater”. Maybe it’s that is sounds a little old-fashioned-y. Maybe it’s that it sounds like something sweet girls would use and I often think about being sweeter.) Down to business: the remover is regularly $7.99 and is now on clearance for $3.49. Not sure why it’s on clearance since it’s not even supposed to come out until next month. I don’t know exactly when it hit shelves in Milton but it can’t have been long ago since it shouldn’t be there yet. Maybe putting something new on clearance is the retail version of “what, this old thing”.

I made two transactions – first an 8ct pack of PaperMate pens for $1.99 with a $1.99 ECB. Second, the skin care. I used the $1.99 ECB and a $5 off $30 from the magic coupon printer during the second transaction.

Be sure to stop by the magic coupon printer. I got another $5 off a purchase of $30 or more coupon today (and something else that I don’t remember – it was lame).

$10 Tuesday!

Figured it was time for another $10 Tuesday, so I spent my lunch break in Target with my trusty coupon organizer. I purchased a graphic tee that makes me wanna sing Springsteen songs, a pair of black jeans (yes, I've just started to allow black jeans again for the first time since 1993), 2 cans of Suave dry shampoo, a 2 pack of gel pens and a 2 pack of sharpies. All for $7.86! I think I'll spend the remainder on a copy of Real Simple because A) I'm addicted to magazines, B) Real Simple is printed on nice paper and usually smells pretty good and C) I have a coupon for it!

Break it down now: $3 off denim Target coupon, $2 off graphic tees Target coupon, $1 off Sharpie Target coupon, $1 off Papermate Target coupon, 2 free Suave product coupons, 5% off total with Target debit card. Get the Target coupons for yourself at Target.com. See my earlier post for how to get the Suave coupons.

Money for Nothing and Your Suave for FREE

Remember waaaay back on June 7 when I told you to visit http://www.suave.com/canyoutell/ to watch a few short hair care videos and win coupons? My 2 coupons for FREE products have arrived. And they have holograms on them! You can still get in on this action.

Beauty and the Beast


The ECBs and RRs have been consistently disappointing over the last few weeks. If you are in the market for hair care, some Pantene products are 2 for $6.97 with a $2ECB at CVS. And if you are still hanging on to the $3 off 2 Pantene products coupon from the June 19 Smart Source like I was, you can bring it down to $3.97 (coupon expires July 31). I also picked up two packs of Cottonelle flushable wipes on sale for $1.99 each and used a 75 cents off two coupon from a the July 17 SmartSource. The magic coupon printer gave me a $1ECB, so I used it on this transaction as well. I wasn't thinking clearly and made my second transaction consist only of an 18 pack of Cottonelle toilet paper. It was on sale for $8.99. I had a 75 cent coupon from the July 17 SmartSource and the $2ECB from my Pantene purchase. So I had to add a filler item - remember, ECBs count as coupons and you must have an item for each coupon. I should have purchased the wipes along with the toilet paper instead of in my first transaction. Oh well, I had a caramel for dessert today.

I also dropped by KMart, which is rare. They have Organix shampoo and conditioner B1G1 this week. I adore the coconut milk! (BTW, I stopped by the closing KMart on Airport last week. Don't waste your time. The "big" sale is currently only 20-40% off. Maybe watch for the percentage to go up. Maybe not. It is interesting to note that a closing ransacked KMart looks almost exactly like a regular KMart.)

What's in yoooour binder?


So this is my binder and my coupon carrier. And a piece of wood that is giving my the okay on couponing.

In my binder I have a zipper pouch with goodies such as scissors, a calculator, paper clips, tape and envelopes.

I prefer to organize my coupons by category (manufacturers) and store.

I store my coupons in baseball card sleeves. One per sleeve so I can look at the product on the front and the expiration date on the back. (Multiple copies of the same coup can go in the same sleeve.)

I also keep coupon policies in pocket protectors in the back of my binder. Yes, if I am going to be doing quite a bit of couponing, I take my binder in the store(s) with me.

I keep a small coupon carrier organized by store with the coupons I know I will use during a shopping trip. I use this even if I bring my large binder along.

So, tell me. How do you organize your coupons?

They Do Exist!

I’m finally starting to receive free samples. The first was a 10 pack of Tide Stain Release in-wash boosters. I love this stuff! I love it so much that I don’t care that the lil’ liquid sample leaked all over everything. At least my mailbox smelled good for a few days.

Bonus: $2 coupon came with the sample.

Playin' Possum

I have committed the cardinal blogging sin: not posting. My bad. Honestly, I haven't been very impressed by deals/coupons over the last couple weeks. Only two things got me excited: the Books-A-Million coupons in the Sunday paper and Bealls B1G1 $1 on bras. I'll play catch-up today and let you see what I've been up to. But first...

Shout out to Susan at the Copper Possum Antique Mall in Milton! Stop by and see cool Susan and all the cool stuff. I bought this bike there:

Looming Cat-Lady-dom

My not-really-my-office-anymore is not a very fun place to be these days. So even if I bring my lunch, I head out to read under a tree or browse a nearby store for an hour, gazing at all the fun things I would buy if my employment future were not one big, ugly question-mark. Today, I dropped by Target. I bought cat treats and candy. Right on track to becoming a cat-lady.

Dark 60% Cacao Ghirardelli Squares are on clearance for $2.30. If you're still hanging on to the $1 off one bag coupon from the May 2011 All You, now might be the time to cash it in (especially since it's dark chocolate, boo on milk chocolate).

And Whisker Lickin's ($1.07) are basically B1G1 when you use the $1 off 2 bags coupon from the 6/26/11 SS.

Muzak Deal!

Amazon has 100 MP3 albums on sale for $5 until June 30!

I highly suggest (to name a few):
Florence + The Machine - Lungs
Beck - Mellow Gold
The Raveonettes - Raven In The Grave
Bjork - Vespertine
Nirvana - MTV Unplugged in New York

60 for $1

Walgreens and CVS are at it again. Five 12 packs of Dr. Pepper or Pepsi for $13...hurry!

I had $10 ECBs from last weeks CVS Hawaiian Tropic expedition and wanted to spend them on my 5 packs of Diet Dr. Pepper. OF COURSE all the stores near to my zip code were sold out by the time I got out of church Sunday. Grrr. So my dear sweet sister, Sarah, took my card and my ECBs and my monies to the CVS in Gulf Breeze. Apparently Gulf Breeze either stocks their shelves more appropriately than every other CVS I've ever been to or Gulf Breeze people don't raid it. Not only was she able to find the soda and use my $10 ECBs, but she was also able to use 2 coupons found in store for $1.00 off 2 12 packs. So my total was $1! Props to Sarah. Visit her at the Gulf Breeze Library. They have books. For reading.

Made any awesome ECB purchases? Tell us about 'em.

Scouting the Hawaiian Tropics

CVS is offering tons of ECBs this week. $10 ECBs with the purchase of two Hawaiian Tropic products is one such offer. And lip balm counts! Purchase two Hawaiian Tropic lip balms for a total of $5.98 to receive your $10 ECB. You make $4.02!

My scouts and I have searched local stores and found that the Gulf Breeze CVS does carry the lip balm. Stores that do NOT: Milton, Pace, Olive Rd, 9 Mile, 9th Ave, Brent. Shout out to Sarah for making the find in Gulf Breeze.

Oh sweet self-actualization, Maslow!

Check out "How Your Last Name Affects Your Spending Habits" on WiseBread. Basically, there's a study floating around with evidence that individuals with last names falling late in the alphabet are more inclined to jump at deals. This stems from childhood anxieties of missing out brought on by waiting in line at school. I bet that you, little Jipped Zuperduper, never realized that waiting and watching Snotty Alwaysgetseverything and Bubba Firstinline and Bitty Idonthavetowait go ahead of you would put you on a path to financial ruin, did ya?

So, my last names begins with "W". I was always last or very close to last in line. As an adult, I meticulously plan my shopping trips. I research purchases. I know what the best product is and who has it for the best price. Plans. Not impulses. Take that WiseBread. But wait! I am also a horrible impulse buyer! I'm proving them right. I want what I want and I want it yesterday. I buy Groupons and get really excited if I do so before everyone else I know. New restaurant - where? I should be the first to try it. Ooohhh, colorful bins of crap in the middle of the isle - they must be in the middle of the isle because they're special. I'm special too, I need that stuff. Pick me! Pick me, stuff! Now I have a blog about getting deals so other people can see my deals and tell me how cool they are (I am). Oh sweet self actualization, Maslow! I'm so glad I have something to blame this on. Personal responsibility? No thanks (unless it comes with a RR).

Soda Shop

Hello, my name is Jen and I am addicted to diet soda. Diet Dr. Pepper is my poison of choice but I enjoy most diet sodas (Pepsi and Root Beer being the exceptions). This week, Walgreens has Dr. Pepper products on sale 3 for $10 and CVS has Coke products on sale 5 for $13! Being an addict, I took advantage of both. That's $23 for eight 12 packs (96 cans!) - which is great, but I also had 4 ECBs which brought my purchase down to $19 or about 20 cents per can.

Original Prices: $40.82

Shake Your Money Maker at CVS


Dirty mouth? Don't chew gum, that's dumb. Brush your teeth and brush 'em with toothpaste that CVS paid you to take home. This week CVS has Colgate Total Advanced Toothpaste for $2.79 with a $2ECB. Combine this with a $1.00 coupon from the 6/12/11 SmartSource and you make 21 cents!

Don't know what ECBs are? Check out "Fillers, RRs, ECBs...huh?" on your right, under "Good to Know".

Walgreens Switch-A-Roo = Free-er Tampons!

I hate buying feminine products. They are expensive, no fun to buy and certainly no fun to use! Walgreens is helping make it a little easier this week. They are giving away an 18 ct box of Playtex Sport or Gentle Glide tampons when you purchase a 36 ct box. The 36 ct box is $8.49 and the 18 ct box is normally $5.29. Combine this with two of the $1.50 manufacturers coupons from the 5/22/11 SmartSource and you get both boxes for $5.49! That’s a savings of $8.29 or over 60%. It’s like you are getting the larger box free!

So that's 36 ct tampons + 18 ct tampons = $5.49
(Walgreens sale + 2 $1.50 manufacturer's coupons = $8.29 savings)

If you are currently in need of tampons, you'll probably like this deal: pop on over to CVS where you can get $5.99 in ECBs on a $5.99 bag of Hershey's Bliss. That's free - you have to pay $5.99 for the Bliss - a $5.99 Extra Care Bucks "coupon" will print on your receipt that you may use on your next purchase. Go ahead and use it right away if you want. Buy your chocolate then turn right around and buy a few things you need that add up to $5.99 (like bread, pet food, etc) and use your ECB just like a coupon! You walk out of the store with your Hershey's Bliss and other item(s) that equal $5.99 all for $5.99! Consider the Bliss free or the other stuff free, either way, you left with free stuff!

I tried this because it was on clearance product review: Godiva Truffle Bar Oranges & Cream in White Chocolate

Target has these on clearance for $1.49 (reg $2.99). There are a few other flavors on clearance as well...mint chocolate chip (ew), sundae something or other and a berry type deal.

Initial reaction: O.M.Geeee, that's good! Why did I only buy one? Go back! Go back! Why are they on clearance?!? Are they being discontinued? WHAT-IS GOING-ON?!?

Post initial reaction: Yeah, that was good. I'm glad I only bought one. Had I bought more, I would have turned into something not dissimilar to a wood chipper and devoured them all. Oh yeah, I made a coconut pie Tuesday - I can eat that instead. Wait, instead - I don't need anything instead. If I don't get a new job soon I'm going to be the size of a house. And I don't mean one of those cute little pre-fab houses Brad Pitt "built" in New Orleans after Katrina. I'll see if Target has more of those bars next time I'm there. Which will not be tonight. I can not go tonight. Can I?

Hello, Yellow!

It's the best time of year for Bath and Body Works: the Hello, Yellow! sale. Items are up to 75% off. I know, "up to" sales often sound much better than they are. I've never been disappointed in a BBW HY sale though. Look for $3 wallflowers and hand soaps and $5 lotions and fragrance sprays. And me...I'll be there at some point.

The sale is available online and in-store.

Stockpile Sneak Peek!

If you’ve seen any episode of Extreme Couponers, you’ve seen a massive stockpile. We’re talking 100 boxes of cereal, 1000 body washes and enough croutons to fill a salad the size of a Hummerzine. No wonder some couponers spell crazy with a “k” (which is annoying, don’t do that) – they really are nuts. Here's a peek at my stockpile. It’s appropriately sized for a single-person household. It contains items that I will use over the next year. It’s bigger than I thought it would be after a few weeks of couponing and I can see how folks fill a garage. I pledge not to do that.

Jen’s stockpile: 4 body washes, 5 lotions, 3 styling products, 1 insect repellent, 2 bottles sunblock, 1 chapstick, 4 mascaras, 5 bottles Bayer Advanced, 3 Tic Tac Big Packs, 2 bottles BBQ sauce, 3 Clorox wipes, 2 Lysol toilet bowl cleaners, 4 tubes Colgate, 2 bottles Glade Fabric & Air, 1 bag Tide Stain Release, 1 package Q-tips

Not pictured: three boxes of cereal and three cans of Pringles. They are in my pantry, which needs to be organized. I’m embarrassed to show it to you right now.

Crunchy Underwear, no, wait...



The Taco Bell Crunchwrap Supreme is 99 cents this week! I tried it. It was alright. When I consider I ate lunch for 2 dollars and some change (add a Diet Coke), it was downright good.

Also, the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale started this week. Get yo-self some cheap under things. If you find any cheap Bare Ultimate Hiphuggers, let me know. I personally feel that they are the only product worth purchasing from VS.

4 Cent Lotion!!!

Like Nivea USA on Facebook to print a $2.00 manufacturer coupon. Combine this with the Target Nivea coupon for $3.00 available on Target.com and you can get lotion for 4 cents!

I admit it, I did this 3 times. Then I took a picture of the lotion and some coupons in a nice grassy area on the UWF campus. Yeah, I went on a picnic with my lotion. So?

Feeling Suave. Can you tell?

FREEEEEEEE STUFF!

Did you clip the Suave B1G1 coupon from your Sunday paper inserts a couple weeks ago? Though it states B1G1, it actually rings off $3.00! I bought 2 Suave body washes at Target for $1.94 each and used the aforementioned coupon. I paid $0.88 total for 2 body washes! I felt really great about that until I saw that Publix has them on sale for $1.49. They could have been FREE – negative two cents to be exact (Publix does overages)! Learn from my mistakes. The coupon expires June 19 – don’t let this one get away.

AAANNNNDDDDD, you may visit http://www.suave.com/canyoutell/ to watch a few short hair care videos. Each video will end with the question “Can you tell? which model used Suave products”. For each correct answer, you unlock a coupon (answer them all before choosing your coupon – you only get to choose one). I’m getting 2 FREE products!

Butterhead: Get Paid to Buy Bayer!

When something ails me, I generally prefer to find alternatives to pills. But I get a lot of headaches (yeah, yeah - if I had a head like that, blah, blah, blah) and they often have me reaching for the bottle. So pain reliever coupons are pretty awesome. Especially when you are paid $0.76 to take a bottle home! Publix has Bayer Advanced Asprin 24 count on sale for $2.99 plus an in-store coupon (check the info rack at the front of your store) for $2.00 off. AND I printed a couple manufacturer's coupons a couple weeks ago for $1.75 off. Let me say it again, Publix will pay you $0.76 to take Bayer off their hands! Of course they don't just hand you money - you may apply the overage to other items in your cart but chances are you didn't go into Publix just to buy Bayer, so what's the difference?!?

Publix Display of Affection

Today I made my first Publix shopping trip since I began couponing. Publix accepts competitor coupons (such as Target - check your store for details) and allows overages! Publix
Bayer Advanced Asprin (sale + manu coup + store coup)
