My computer is back home - where it belongs!!!

My new best friend is the FedEx man!! hehehe My computer was returned back to me today after being out of commission for about 2 weeks. HP has fixed it all up (I hope) and all is well!

I wanted to say "thanks' to all of you that have called me, sent me emails, or have had a chance to talk with me about how much you love my blog and the tips that you have found here. That is really encouraging to me, thanks.

This week is the last week to submit your Walgreens Easy Saver purchases that you made last month. I know that lots of you have been making the free after rebate purchases. Don't forget to submit them this week, or they won;t end up being free. That would be a bummer, would it not?

I'm going to give you a few freebies that I found quickly, and them I am off to discover all that I have missed in that last few weeks:


A free pack of Stride gum here (this is a silly little game, but the end result is a free pack of gum!)

A free Schick Quattro razor here (really nice one too!)

Free Head & Shoulders shampoo here

I'm SO glad to be back online, I'll be back as soon as I can uncover some more great deals!

YEA!!! My computer should be here soon!

Wow! You just really don't have any idea how much you depend on your computer untill you are forced to go without it. My laptop has spent the last week in the hands of HP! They are paying for everything....even the overnight shipping back and forth. So while I appreciate that they have taken care of my computer for no charge, it's really REALLY frustrating having to go without your computer!
I should be up and running later this week...I hope!

Check it out: **See the new October Easy Saver Rebate booklet here **

Sign up here for a free sample of Bertolli's Premium "sauce in a pouch"

I'll see you all soon!!!

My computer crashed...AKA My house is REALLY clean!

I haven't left you, I haven't gone anywhere. I'm still here, staring at the empty spot where my computer usually sits. My house is really REALLY clean!

My computer began giving me indications that it might have a problem a few weeks ago... but I ignored it...here's a tip: DON'T DO THAT!!

So it's getting sent off to HP to get a new "mother board" installed (whatever that means!). Apparently HP has had quite a few issues with my system, so they are taking care of it, with no expense to me, at least that's what they say now. We'll see how it turns out in the end!

So here I sit borrowing my hubby's work laptop to let you know what's going on. I probably won't be around much for awhile..but PLEASE don't leave me forever! If you post a comment at the end, I'll send you a note letting you know when I am back up and running.

I'll leave you with this bit of Walgreens news for the week: They are having Rimmel makeup BIGIF (buy one get one free). If you have your dollar coupons from the paper a few weeks ago, this should be super cheap makeup. I plan on stocking up.

Some REALLY great deals at Walgreens this week

I have an EXTREMELY busy next few days coming up, but I cannot go with0ut tell you about a few amazing deals at Walgreens:

#1. Dimetapp and Robitussin are on sale for $3.99 each this week. Go here to print a 3.00 coupon off of Robitussin, and go here to print a 2.00 coupon off of Dimetapp. When you buy 3, you get a Register Reward for 10.00!! That's 10.00 off you next purchase.
3.99 x 3 = 11.97
-3.00
-2.00=6.97
-10.00 RR = a profit of 3.03!!!
I'm thinking with winter coming up, we could all use free cough syrup!!!

(I suppose you could actually print multiples of these coupons, thus making your profit higher...but that begins to be a "fuzzy area" in the coupon world........)

#2. Take your 10.00 RR from the cough syrup deal and next buy Excedrin for 3.99 that is free after rebate, and a Chemistry hair care product for 7.99 that is free after rebate.
3.99 + 7.99 = 11.98
-10.00 = 1.98 oop (out of pocket)
But wait - you get the 11.98 PLUS 1.20 (10% extra for putting your rebate on a gift card.
Grand total profit of 11.20!! (WOW!!! did I figure that right???)

#3 Crest Pro Health Mouthwash is on sale for 4.49, you get a 4.49 RR coupon for your next purchase!!

Make sure you pick up the Easy Saver Rebate booklet at the front entrance to see these, and lots of other great deals!!!

Have fun!!

Huge coupon Sunday coming up!

This weekend is going to be a HUGE coupon weekend! There will be 4....count 'em, FOUR inserts in your paper this weekend!! It's worth mentioning that there will be a coupon for $2.25 off of Electrosol tabs or gelpacs. This one coupon itself will pay for the paper! This is the time to get extras.....I know I will be!

~I probably should mention that not every single area gets every single coupon, so before you buy ten papers, look to make sure that your paper has this great Electrosol coupon.

Hey Everyone....I'm still here!!!

Hi! I just got back yesterday from visiting my BFF in South Dakota. I had a wonderful time seeing her and just hanging out. It had been a few years since we had seen each other (though we talk on the phone just aboutr daily!), and we enjoyed every moment we had together. My hubby was a dear and kept things running (mostly) smoothly on the home front for me while I was gone. And now I am home, and it's life as usual.


I really meant to let you know that I was going to be gone for a few days, but I had like a "gazillion" things to do, and so blogging got pushed aside. But now I am back, and ready to let you know about a few deals!!


Free 14 day supply of Nature Made vitamins This is a great offer, free vitamins...cool!!
Free Pledge Multi Surface Wipes
Free Seattle's Best Coffee mmmmmm.........free (good) coffee.....
