Shopping trip details,95%+ Savings! & Mail Call!
So from the previous post, you know I had a rough day yesterday. Aside from the serious drama and everything being way more complicated than it needed to be, at least the deals were good! Here's how everything (other than myself : (, pun intended ) went down...
Mission 1: Fry's:
Mission 2: Walmart:
Mission 1: Fry's:
- Get 6 Schick Quattro razors. Reg, $9.99 ea, sale $5.00 ea, mfg coup $5/1 (x2 mens' razors, x4 womens') = 6 FREE razors, value $59.94! (I saved 100%!) Great for gifts!
 |
| Fry's & Walmart |
Mission 2: Walmart:
- Get 4 Schick Quattro disposable razors 12pk, Reg $2.97 ea, mfg coup $6/2 (x2) = 4 FREE + $0.12 overage. For donation. Out of stock :( Have to go back later.
- Get 2 Cascade Complete trial size Action Paks , Reg $0.97 ea, mfg coup $1/1 (x2) = 2 FREE + $0.06 overage. Mission accomplished!
- Price match oos razors from Fry's (see above)
- Get 3 Veet 20ct Wax strips, Reg $3.97 ea, mfg FB coup $3/1, $2/1 (x2) = 1 @ $0.97, 2 @ $1.97 ea... upon reviewing reciept, cashier got coupon happy and doubled the $3 coup! Averaged $0.63 ea! BONUS!
- Get 6 Sugar Free Torani Coffee Syrups (3 FV, 3 caramel, yummy!), Reg $4.99 ea, mfg coup $1/1 (x6) = $3.99 ea. PERMANENTLY DISCONTINUED IN ALL WALMARTS!?! NOOOOO...! (I felt like someone drove a stake through my heart! None left in nearby stores or Walmart.com either!)
- Get 2 Bengay Cold Therapy, Reg $9.97 ea, price match Walgreens sale $6.99 ea, mfg coup $5/1 (x2) = $1.99 ea (Totally worth it too btw!). Result? In stock but could not pm last weeks sale even with rainchecks. Had to go to Walgreens. See other post :(
- Fill a prescription. Mission accomplished, but not intentionally... I had wanted to pick up another day rather than wait 45 mins, but it took that long waiting for them to figure out what happened to the coffee syrups and waiting on hold forever while the next closest store looked if they had any left! Not only that had to wait 15 more mins in line to pick up! I was getting as frustrated as a cat in a bathtub!
Final result: 3 Schick, 3 Veet, and 2 Cascade: $1.85 + tax, I saved $42.88 (I saved 96%!)
Still worth the aggrivation. (Used FSA for prescription)
Mission 3: Walgreens:
Final Mission: Safeway:
Hectic? Yes! But I guess it can't always go smoothly.
And... just because I don't want to make a whole new post for it... here is Friday's "Mail Call!":

Mission 3: Walgreens:
- Get 2 Bengay Cold Therapy, Reg $9.99 ea, rain check for sale $6.99 ea, mfg coup $5/1 (x2) = $1.99 ea. Out of stock :( Have to go back later. PLUS I got hurt (see other post)... NOT worth the aggrivation :( This should have been the easiest one too!
Final Mission: Safeway:
- Price Guarantee for 8pk Mission Artisan tortillas, get refund for new sale price. I had bought 10 on sale @1.99 ea (two trips the prior week) with 10 $1/1 mfg coups = $0.99 ea. Great deal and freeze-able, but went on sale for $1.49 ea wyb 8 or more this week! Argh! Lucky for me I always save receipts and the customer service at my Safeway is outstanding. Having proven my purchase in the past week I was not made to return and re-purchase the tortillas and was simply refunded $5.00 :)
- Get 1 Mars candy with FB "Random Acts of Chocolate" mfg coup (deal over), Reg $1.79, FREE w/coup
- Get 2 Fruit2Day, Reg $1.99, sale $10/10, mfg coup $0.45 (x2) (ALL COUPONS WORTH AT LEAST $1.00) = 2 FREE
- Get 2 DayQuil trial size, Reg 2/$3, mfg coup $3/2 = 2 FREE (Out of stock :( Have to go back later.)
- Apples, sale $0.88/lb, 3.89lb for $3.42
- Get 3 Pillsbury Sweet rolls, Reg $1.99 ea, rain check $10/10, mfg coup $0.30/1, $0.50/2 = 1 FREE, $0.97 for the other 2!
- Get 5 16oz Oscar Mayer Light Meat Bologna, Reg $5.49 ea, rain check for sale $1.49 ea. Out of stock, but meat dept. associate ok'd substitute Light Beef Bologna = $1.49 ea (Great deal to stock up... good for a long time vacuum packed and freeze-able!)
- Get creamer, prefer Coffee Mate Natural Bliss Caramel Creme, mfg coup $1/1 (x4), $3.19 not on sale, but got 1 since it would be free anyhow.
- Use those catalinas! $10 off exp 9/25, $2 off exp 10/1. Mission accomplished! But oops... I actually didn't spend enough to use all the Q's, I was around $4 under!? I was kinda out of it (see prior post), and a the line was loooong. The only thing I could think of to spend $4 more was 2 more creamers (w/ 2 more coups). We do go through a lot of creamer, but I might end up exchanging one for pie crust to go with the apples :D. I have to go back to get 3 FREE salads on the 27'th anyway (sale $0.99 ea, mfg coup$1/1 (x3)!
Final Result: Spent $1.44, saved $54.29 (I saved 97%!) PLUS THE $5 CASH BACK = MORE THAN FREE!
Totally worth it and AMAZING savings for grocery! Would have been even more if everything was in stock and I had my head on straight, sheesh! It can be done with grocery, and without going over a 6 month stock up!

Have a nice shopping TRIP, see you next FALL!?!
Friday September 23, 2011:
First day of fall, Northern Hemisphere.
Friday September 23, 2011:
First day back out running errands after not feeling well.
Friday September 23, 2011:
First day I have EVER tripped and fell at a store!!!
It is one of the oldest, lamest, jokes in the book, "Have a nice TRIP, see you next FALL!" Hardy-har-har...
Well this Friday it wasn't so funny, but was highly ironic. After a frustrating time at Walmart yesterday, I had to go to Walgreens to pick up, of all things, Bengay Cold Therapy! I will describe my shopping trips in detail later, but for now I will just highlight that Walgreens did not have the item in stock. Leaving the store empty handed on the first day of fall, all of a sudden I went down like a ton of bricks and hit the cement right outside the front door! A sweet little old man was getting out of his van from the handicap parking spot and exclaimed, "Oh dear, are you all right? Do you need help up?" and the cashier rushed out to see what happened. I sat there for a moment on the ground shocked, confused, and embarrassed. I collected the things that spilled out of my purse when I fell, and the cashier helped me up. She asked, "Are you ok, what happened?" I knew I fell, but I didn't know how... it had to be either the mat, or a large crack in the cement. The sweet little old man said "She tripped on the mat! You should move that mat, I've almost tripped on it so many times!" He kept repeating it. The cashier called the manager to make a report, the man went into the store, and I stayed outside since I had started crying and did not want to go back in. This was my day! I needed this like a hole in the head. The sweet little old man came back out and stopped to reiterate to the manager that the mat was dangerous, and repeated to her what he had said to the cashier. His 2 packs of orange carton Pall Mall cigarettes fell out of his bag, I picked them up and gave them back and thanked him for his concern. I made a report with the manager, gathered myself together, and tried to finish my last small trip to Safeway. I took my time, but felt pretty discombobulated and sore already by the end of my trip. I went back to Walgreens and the manager gave me a claim # so I could go get checked out. Superb (sarcasm)... Now I had to go sit and wait at urgent care. Luckily there was no one there and I was seen quickly so I could finally just go home. To add on some more irony, the song "So you had a bad day" was playing on the speakers at the urgent care as I filled out my paperwork and checked in! Unbelieveable! Only me! By the end of the day, I was so grateful to be home. Yesterday was probably one of those days I shouldn't have left in the first place... ugh!

Walmart.com EPIC FAIL! :(
Last week my friend Budget Savvy Diva posted a HOT deal for
