Sunday's Shopping Trips(Kroger, CVS, and Meijer)

I'm really behind on this blog! I've been so tired this past week that every child free break I have gotten I slept instead of working(or shopped):o| I have had low iron levels for a while now and I always forget to pick some supplements up. I finally remembered them so I hope my energy returns soon!

My little guy has decided he prefers pullups to cloth diapers for now. I can't blame him. He is a big boy @ 31lbs+ at 19 months and we use mostly bumGenius One-Size Cloth Diapers
that go up to 35lbs. They are getting pretty snug and even his large pocket change diapers are about too small. I don't mind having the break from diaper laundry for now either. We will be switching him back to cloth once we find an affordable diaper that carries larger sizes. His old diapers will be used on the new baby.

saved 26.92, 20.96 in coupons
got back 4.00 for filler paper, .89 for pantiliners, and 1.98 for memo pads

I waited to go to cvs until 5pm(they close at 6pm on Sundays), and was behind this other woman shopping a number of times. She did not look like she was "really" shopping. She had a ton of random things in her cart and she was just walking by some things and tossing them in her cart with out even really looking at what the item was.

She then gets to the checkout before me. She is busy trying to keep the cashier distracted with stories of how her college is about to lose it's status to qualify it's students for federal aid and goes on about how she doesn't know how she will pay for school then. The cashier finishes ringing up her random items and annouces her total($19x.xx!- poor students don't spend that much on random items @ drugstores!). She did not have a single coupon either...

Her boyfriend/husband/roommate? comes up and ask if she remembered the Ensure drinks. She says "no I got slimfast". He says that will work. She then whips out a book of starter checks. The cashier politely informs her they don't accept starter checks. She then insist they aren't starters, and they came in the mail with her other checks. The cashier wasn't falling for it. She says I need to run this by my manager, I'm sure we can not take these but I will double check.

While she is away the two start to whisper, then speak a bit louder about what they will put back, since they have very little cash on them. She insist to him they have NOTHING to drink at home(Not even tap water????). He opens the multipack of slimfast and proceeds to drink a can.

The cashier comes back and tells them she can't accept the starter checks. The girl insist again that they aren't starters, but she will run to the bank and be back. She ask if she can leave the items at the front so she doesn't have to reshop. The cashier says "we close at 6pm today"(it was 5:45pm...). I am wondering to myself what bank is open at quarter till 6pm On SUNDAY. The ones inside stores around here close at 5pm on Sunday.

And then the issue of the opened and unpaid for slimfast comes up. The guy had been drinking it the whole time the girl was talking. He tells the cashier he doesn't have enough cash to pay for the whole pack, can he pay for just the one. The cashier tries to scan the one can but it wont ring up. She tells him it isn't coded to scan by itself. He says "so what do I do"? She motions for him to give it to her and she will take care of it.

The girl then insist he pick a cheaper drink, that there is "LITERALLY NOTHING to drink at home"(again I think, really, not even water?). She again says that the checks are not starters and everywhere else takes them. The guy says he doesn't have enough cash for anything. He ask the cashier if he can just drink the slimfast he opened because she was going to through it out any way. The cashier says no because it needs to be damaged out by the manager.

They finally decide to leave(with nothing, unless they snuck it in their pockets...) and the cashier and I both breath a little easier. I state how scammy the girl felt from the moment I saw her "Shopping". The cashier then tells me she sees this kind of thing too often, and they assume she is stupid because she is a cashier. The cashier(my favorite one there) then hands me 3 rain checks for the school supplies they were out of. How awesome is she- I didn't even have to ask!?

Burnout

Last week had me severely burned out. Between my husband and myself, we had 4 doctors appointments, a house showing, paper work to fill out to make an offer on said house(with a 1 year old and 6 year old underfoot the whole time), Kings Island(which is kinda hard on a preggo-I couldn't even ride the kiddy train with the kids per their rules- and all that walking,ugh!), a birthday to shop for and cake to make, and the daily task of cleaning, cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and cooking.

Everytime I sat down at the computer to make a post I just sat there staring and couldn't get started. Today I am feeling much less frazzled and will work on the Meijer ad during naptime/after the kids go to bed and that should be up by the end of the night. I will have the Jungle Jim's ad up by tomorrow night.

So I apologize for the 4 day absence! I am back and ready to find some bargains:)

Deals: Ronzoni Bistro Meals 2/$1

Deals has Ronzoni Bistro microwave meals 2/$1. These normally go on sale for about $2, so even after the $1 coupon that is frequently out they are still 2x more expensive at the grocery store(unless your store doubles $1 coupons).

Deals is a Dollar General style dollar store owned by Dollar Tree, so these might be available at Dollar Tree stores as well. Deals does not accept coupons.

After you're done at Cellfire, you might want to check Shortcuts out too. I like to add all the E-coupons, just in case! Each site allows you to have 50 e-coupons loaded at a time(for a total of 100!) And if you haven't been to the P&G E- coupon site in a while those are new as of 7/01.

New UPromise.com
ecoupons are also available as of 7/01. These wont come off at the checkout, but you will get the coupon amount deposited into your UPromise.com
account to use for education expenses later(and you can pay you student loans with it!).

And if you haven't stopped over at coupons.com, redplum.com, and smartsource.com you may want to take a look and see if they have added any new printables you are interested in.

$5 for 1 year Real Simple Subscription and more Cheapies!

Amazon is having another great magazine sale! You can get 1 year of Real Simple for $5. I have looked into getting a subscription to this magazine several times and it was always WAY too much for me.

Amazon has many other magazines on sale here. Click on the ones that interest you to see if you will get an additional $3, $5, or $10 off the listed price!

I'm excited about the Popular Mechanics
one for $5. My husband has been asking me to find a deal on this for a while.
