Queen City Deals-8/30/11

Ok, so here's my first official deals post.  Now, this post is called Queen City Deals but these prices are good for NC and SC and I think that some areas of GA have the same prices.  So, please visit your stores and see if your store has these products for same or relatively similar price.  I'm going to put up pics of the individual items I purchased.  Below those pics I will outline the transaction performed including the coupons/discounts used and where you can find the coupons/discounts.  Yesterday, Moo and I went on a little shopping trip to WalMart and Target and below is what we got.                                              

WalMart

                        

Febreze Noticeables Warmer $2.27
~Use $3/1 Febreze Noticeables Warmer, 8/28 P&G (x 9/30/11)
=FREE + $0.53 overage

*WalMart does give money back in the case of overages.  And in those states like NC where you have to pay taxes on all goods including free ones, the taxes will be subtracted from the overage total.


Target

Cascade Action Pacs $0.97 each (1) 4-count & (1) 3-count

~Use (2) $1/1 Cascade, 8/28 P&G (x 9/30/11)

=FREE + $0.06 overage

*Target does not give money back but will use the overages to subtract from your subtotal or put towards covering taxes.

Neutrogena Transparent Facial Bar $1.97

~Use $1/1 Neutrogena Acne/Facial Cleansing Product here

$1/1 Neutrogena Facial Skin Care Target printable coupon here

Suave Deodorant (1.4 oz) $0.97

~Use $0.50/1 Suave Deodorant, 8/14 RedPlum (x 9/30/11)

=$0.47

So, my grand total was $0.66 with taxes for everything.  Talk about a steal!  And I'm sending all these goods with the exception of the warmer in a care package to come college students.  So, if you buy or get a Sunday paper and don't want or use all your coupons, I'll be more than happy to take those off your hands.

Happy Shopping!

Romance Wednesday: Couponing

You know how they say that a family who prays together stays together?  Well, one of my new mottos is that a  couple who coupons together saves forever.  There are so many different things that I love about husband and one of those things is that he's always been supportive of my couponing and helping us to save money.  And as of late he's been taking an interest to learning how to coupon as well so that he can do some of the shopping.  

There are times when I don't feel like going grocery shopping.  So, it helps to have a husband who will pick up that slack and do it for me.  You don't have to try to be like those extreme couponers but if you use a certain brand and there's coupon in the Sunday paper for it why not save money on that item.  Over time that money adds up.  You could use that to take a second honeymoon or even plan a vow renewal ceremony.

Whatever the case is, just know that money issues are the number one cause for marital issues.  And if you're both on board with saving money then you're minimizing your chances on arguing over money.

Queen City Deals

As many of you know I am quite the frugal diva.  I'm always posting about great fashion finds and online sales.  But what some of you don't know is that I'm a huge couponer.  Very rarely do I shop for groceries or other household products without a coupon.  No, I didn't start this because of the extreme couponing show.  My couponing days date back to the summer of my freshman year of college.  

I wasn't living on campus with free food from the dining hall anymore.  I had moved in with my husband and noticed that we were spending a lot on food and stuff.  That was money we could be saving for date nights and other forms of entertainment.  So, I started my ritual of buying a Sunday paper and hunting down sales.  I kept old receipts and jotted down prices of products that we frequently purchased and noted when they went on sale.

And with times still being hard for some I've decided to start posting some of awesome deals and matchups for here in the Queen City/Charlotte, NC area.  I'm going to show you how you can get everything from clothing to food to household supplies and not spend over $50 a week.  I'm bet you're thinking that you can't get much, but I'm going to prove you wrong.  Hope you all enjoy!
