Deal Divas II

Glade Scented Oil Warmers - I Made over $150!
 
"I started out with $10 on a catalina from a Unilever Deal and a ton of coupons.

I had a found coupons for buy one get one free Glade Scented Oil Warmers.

There was a rumor online that Glade Scented Oil Warmers were spitting out $4 Catalinas for each one you purchased and that multiple catalinas would print if you bought more than one. I put it to the test. I figured, if it didn't work I was just out the catalina and it was worth a try. So, I headed to the store, and purchased 4 Oil Warmers, I paid $4.19 each, for two of them and the other two were free. I earned $16 in catalinas. I kept going back to the store to either find empty shelves or just a couple there. I talked to the store manager in charge of ordering inventory. I had him order 80 units for myself and friend I share deals with. 

I honestly lost count to how many units I have. I can tell you this, I still have $72 worth of catalinas, $20 on a gift card, and purchased 1/2 Gal Choc Milk, 1 Gal 2% Milk, 4 Containers of olives from the olive bar, Whipped Topping, Sara Lee Pie, 2 Fall Window Clings, 2 small bags of cheese puffs, 2 packages carl budig meat,1 large bag of cheese puffs, 2 Bug juice (kids were with me), 3 boxes of popcorn, bagged salad, 12 pack coke, 20oz coke, 3 Chicken Grillers from meat dept, 2 twice baked potatoes from the meat dept, whole fryer chicken, shrimp ring, and 2 strip steaks. I've spent maybe $30 for $.19 each on the ones I paid for using a $4 catalina (they are 4.19 each) and tax. In the end I'd say I'm up about $150, food, air fresheners, and out of coupons." Jen Bell Quincy, IL 


"We went a little over budget this week, but only a little. Our weekly budget is $55 and we spent $57.40. We will be sending for a $10 rebate on the steak and a $3.99 rebate on the Smart Start Cereal, along with sending in our labels for a free jar of Rinaldi Pasta Sauce. Missing from the picture is one loaf of bread and one package of hot dog buns, as they were eaten already. We got a couple of great deals this week. We got six loaves of wheat bread and four packages of hot dog buns for $6.89! This is great as we go through bread pretty quickly around here. We also bought several boxes of cereal that were marked down from $4.99 to $1.01 due to the boxes being damaged. It was fantastic to see the original total at the grocery store go from $131.76 to $47.86.  This is our best grocery shopping trip to date!" -Kristin Brutsman


"Wow! We had fun shopping at Meijer last night! This is my 16 year old son with all of the goodies we got. I paid $8.05 oop for everything and we still have $4.00 worth of coupons good on my next shopping order! You should have seen the reaction on my son's face when the self register spit out change and he didn't even pay for anything! The Fleischmann's 3 strip rapid rise yeast was $1.29. I had a $.65 coupon which was doubled, making it free. A catalina coupon was printing out for $.50 oynso for every one we bought. So I got 20 of them. I also got 3 boxes of cereal. They were on sale for $1.80 a box and my coupon was $.55 off which was doubled. The pop tarts were on sale for 3 for $4.00. I had a $.55 coupon for each one which made them only $.47 for 2 boxes so I got 20 of them. The pepperoni was $1.99, so with my $.55 coupon they were only $.89 each and I got 8 of those. My son was impressed! Our savings total, according to the receipts, was $85.22!" Annette, Ohio

"I've been trying to avoid CVS lately. I know they don't like me. I just know it. I know I can be a real pain in the butt sometimes with my coupons but I'm not doing anything illegal!  I had a pile of ECB's that were going to expire soon and I couldn't let them go to waste! Besides there were some really great 3 day deals with CVS on November 27th to the 29th that I had to take advantage of. There was a whole page of freebies listed after ECB's so I am thinking what a great way to roll my current ECB's over before they expire with the least out of pocket of course.
I try to only do CVS when I happen to be going somewhere such as before or after work. (Less gas mileage!) So on 3 separate occasions I stopped in at CVS to see what they had in stock that I wanted that was in the flier on sale. I allotted myself over an hour to plan my trip wisely (just in case I had to change my strategy) if they were out of something I wanted.
So all in all here is what I ended up with
1 Kit Kat
4 Aussie Hair care products
5 Colgate
2  Loreal lip gloss
9 Gatorade
2 Sally Hansen nail polish 
I spent a whopping $10.37 and EARNED a total of $49.32 in ECB's.
Not too bad??
So "hopefully" they won't have anymore good deals anytime soon and then they wont have to see me until next month!!" Jenn Getz

"Here are my Happy Little Helpers (aka, my little guys). They are smiling BIG from all the great deals they have helped me get at KMart. Right before this picture we had just got back from Kmart where they each got to do their very own order. They love to coupon shop...of course they get to keep the change to make it worth their while...lol...but they still have a lot of fun. My oldest asks me all the time when we are shopping "Mom do you have a coupon for that?" I just have to laugh...he is only 6yrs old! But I am trying to teach them the value and fun in coupon shopping.
So all together we have made 6 trips so far and scored $450 worth of stuff for $56 oop! I am doing even better then the last time KMart doubled here! I am just so thankful I have a Husband and children that support my habbit...lol!!! Here is a break down of what we got.

So I have to say I think we have done pretty good at KMart Double coupon events...Between last time and this time I have been able to get almost $2000 worth of stuff for just over $200...Not a bad investment I would have to say....Hope KMart keeps on doing this so we have more fantastic stories to share!" Desiree B, Oregon

"Mom got 56 sticks of Sure deodorant. They paid her $.51 each to take them total of $28.56 profit. We are donating the Sure deodorants to the shelter. I'm glad we can help other people with mom's couponing habit. Lilly age 6 months. "Anna R, KS


"Well I had to make one more trip out to Kmart to make sure I took full advantage of this awesome coupon doubling! I was able to talk my mom into giving it a try as well. She had taken care of my son all day and he hadn't yet taken a nap by the time I got off work. So off we went to Kmart with my ginormous coupon binder in hand. We got: 4 Welch's sparkling cider, 4 suave deodorant, 4 Endust, 4 Celestial Seasonings Tea, 2 Betty Crocker Frosting, 3 Halls Cough Drops, 1 Box Fresh Step, 1Toy Car (no coupon for that!), 1 Gillette body wash, 3 Boxes of Wet Ones, 2 Bottles of Juicy Juice.
 
My total before coupons was right around $91 (with tax).....After coupons with tax my total was $28.10 which isn't too shabby at all!  I also managed to help shave about $30 off of my mom's total bill.
 
However, as you can see in the picture this is what happens when you have to do too much shopping at Kmart. You apparently don't even flinch when your Mommy puts ALL of her Kmart goodies on the couch around you while you sleep! He was so tired he barely made it through the store with us. He did manage to scold his "Mimi" (Grandma) for not using coupons like we do! When I showed him the picture this morning he thought it was pretty funny! I think this picture reflects how alot of us feel after this busy week shopping at Kmart! Happy couponing!" Heather Greenwood, CA

"I have had a blast this week doing the Kmart Doubles. Only a couple of stores around here double and they only do so up to 49¢ so this was a big treat. I spent this last month getting ready and anticipating this. I can hardly believe the totals myself. They have been checked and double checked and our before coupon total was $857.02 and I spent $83.54 !!!! After lots of trips and help from my DH here is what we got. Our DD, Alea, can't wait for Mama to make cookies!

"Raise your hand if you're SURE! Yesterday I got 13 Sure Deodorants for FREE. Combined with the sale, instore Walgreens coupons and IP coupons another fabulous deal chalked up!" - Jill, MO

 


"At CVS, the atkins bars were on sale for $1 each.  I had been trading for these for a while and had a good stash of these coupons. CVS also had Kleenex tissue on sale for B1G1F @ $1.49.  I had a few coupons for B3G1F.  I combined this coupon with the sale to get 4 boxes of tissues for the price of one. The Duracell battery sale was also going on at CVS, buy $20 and get $15 ECB back.  Everywhere I went, they were sold out of the batteries.  I did remember to get a rain check.  I did pick up a few of the smaller packs though.
I had also read on chit chat where Publix was having a deal.  There is a coupon for $5 off 10 items in a Thanksgiving flyer.  These flyers were found at the door.  Martha White muffin mixes were included in this deal.  I traded for many of these coupons as well.   The muffin mixes were on sale 5 for $4.  When you buy 10 at $8, you get to use the $5 off coupon.  I also used 5 coupons for 55 cents off 2.  For each ten muffin mixes I bought, the total was 25 cents!  I owe a huge thank you for the OP of that deal. 

After going to several Publix stores and CVS stores, I ended up with 138 Atkins bars, 80 muffin mixes, eight kleenex and four packs of batteries.  To top the day off, my girls enjoyed a trip to Build-A-Bear, and I used coupons there as well!

 

I went to Winn Dixie with my 3 children, which sometimes isn't an easy feat! I stumbled across a good deal and couldn't resist. Sierra Mist was on sale for $1 each, normally $1.69. I found a tear pad of coupons for B1G1F. I wound up with 28 bottles and paid $6.86. With my rewards card and the B1G1F coupons, we saved a lot. We are set for a very long time! This was a rare find for me. Miss Jenny is pictured with her stacks of sodas!"  Selena M. Alabama



"Here's a picture of me at my first major yard sale using all of my deals throughout this year! I made over $500! I hope I can share my story next year. I'm going to take advantage of as many deals as I can must next year! Look for my story by the end of the year!" Yvonne R.


"Hi there! This was my first time for the Kmart double coupon event and I think I did fairly well. There were a lot of items that my store just doesn't carry and the coupons were expiring but things went well. I was the first "couponer" at the store I went to in Rocklin, CA. The cashier and the lady from the service desk were both really excited. They made sure I had read the fine print in the ad and we went at it. The customer service cashier kept running over to her register to ring people up so I basically had the other open register all to myself! When she didn't have a customer she would run back over to see how it was going. Everything rang up great! The cashier was very young and wasn't sure what some of the items were (since they list under funky names in the register) so we did it together, I would tell her which item it was for when she had to choose one. The haul doesn't look too impressive because my "model" (my son Josh) was in front of some of the items. This batch included:
 
3 Cover Girl Items $1 ea
2 Clorox Anywhere Fabric Spray 1 for Free and 1 for .99
2 Emery Boards - FREE
2 Nail clippers - FREE
1 set of markers for Josh 4.99 (no deal on those)
4 Kotex - FREE
8 Degree Deodorant (Travel size) .49 ea
2 Band Aid .79 ea
2 Suave Solid .49 ea
1 Tums Smoothers - FREE
3 Johnson Bath Buddies Soap - FREE
4 Pert Shampoo - FREE
4 Reynolds Heavy Duty Foil .99 each
4 Mr Clean Wipes .50 each
2 Beggin' Strips .69 each
4 Lime Away .66 each
2 Betty Crocker Frosting .50 each
1 Hickory Farms Gift Pack for a Gift Basket 8.99 (20% off normal)
3 Choc Chips 3/$4
1 Welchs Juice 1.99
1 Juicy Juice 1.49
1 Candy Canes $1
1 Whitman Sampler Mini $1 (for Gift basket)
1 Butter Cookie $3.49 (for gift basket)
1 Play Doh regular 11.19 - coupon 7.19
1 Play Doh (for Xmas) 9.99
 
All in all my total savings was $123.99 and my total bill after coupons was only $75.08
 
Since NOBODY in this area doubles this was quite the deal. I will be refueling and heading back for the items I didn't get later in the week. I know there are some smaller items I can get. I was just so giddy that I finally got to particiapte and I didn't want to go over my 75 coupons. My receipt was 3'7" tall - which is a good inch and a quater taller then my son! He was so excited when I got hom (Grandma was watching him) that he was jumping up and down and helping me bring in the bags. It was pretty cute. A friend of mine just bought a new house so she'll be getting a nice gift basket of household items for a Christmas/Housewarming gift. I'm so glad I can get these items and give to others now. We used to always be in such a financial bind (being a single mom) but RC has helped me out more then you'll ever know! Thank you all for your help and guidance!  
Heather Greenwood, Sacramento CA

"It has been years since I have been able to double so I was planning way ahead for the KMart doubling, collecting $1.50 and $2 coupons.  Hubby David and I left home at 6:00 a.m. to get to the Dubuque Iowa KMart at 7:00 a.m.  For almost 2 hours I hunted the aisles and each of us would put 4 of each great deal in our cart.  David had 65 items and his total was $207 and he paid $32.  I had 75 items and my total was $240 and I paid $36.  Items that were free were Endust, Pert shampoo, Olay and Zest soap. Other good deals were Celestial Seasonings tea for 50-cents a box, Revlon nail polish for 14-cents, Scotch packing tape for 50-cents each.   The cashier was a sweet young girl who was very patient and seemed happy about our savings.  My mother will get some of this in her Christmas basket, as will my four adult children. 
The second picture is from our stop at Walgreens.  I hit two stores and did 3 separate Reach toothbrush transactions, using Buy One, Get One Free coupons.  I would pay $3.24 and out would come a $6 catalina, so I have $36 in catalinas to use now.  The Scotch tape was 2/$1 with their coupon and I had $1.00 off 2 coupons, so free tape!  The Revlon mascara was on clearance for $3.69 and I used $2 coupons and at the end of the tape, two of them came off the price due to being Buy One Get One Free, so 2 mascaras for $1.69.  What a fun day with my husband and then we went out for breakfast and to church afterwards.

"This is my Jack Russell, Ruby Jane, checking out everything I got from the doubles at K-Mart, plus from using coupons at Wal-Mart & Walgreens. My grand total before coupons and RR's was $278. My out-of pocket amount was right at $100, so I saved $178!  I got a lot of this stuff Free! This is the most I have ever saved using coupons, and I can't wait to do it again. Thank You RefundCents, and everyone that posts their good deals and makes my shopping a success, I couldn't do it without you."
