My House Smells Good!


My special order came in today for the Glade Flameless Candles, and Plug Ins. Using coupons, combining them with the sale, and earning Catalina coupons made for a very sweet deal today!

16 Candles
20 Plug Ins

Paid $65.17 cash and previously earned Catalina coupons, but EARNED $88, making a profit of $22.83.

Vanilla and Clean Linen.... ahhh, sure beats dog, cat, and dirty diaper smells! lol

General Mills Deal!



Jewel, again. It's my favorite store!
Currently there is a General Mills Catalina offer. A Catalina is a coupon that prints out, usually after you've paid, and is usually a specific amount good to use on your next order. This promotion offers you a $10 Catalina when you purchase $25 worth of specific products.

I am very, very blessed, and have an amazing store who was willing to special order a tremendous amount of items for me!

Today, I purchased:
80 boxes of cereal (Trix, Lucky Charms, Cheerios, and Cinnamon Toast Crunch)
5 fruit snacks (gushers, scooby doo, batman)

I spent $25.03 out of pocket, have $13.50 in Catalina coupons, and received a survey for free bread worth $2, for a grand total of $9.53. This is only ELEVEN CENTS (11¢) per item!!!

I have four cases (48 boxes) ready to donate, so I'm super psyched!

GREAT DEAL ALERT at Walgreens

This week Robitussin is on sale for $3.99. You can print coupons from the manufacturer website for $3 each! Buy THREE, and receive a catalina coupon for $10!!!

My total out of pocket cost for three bottles is $3.09, but I earn $10 every time I do the offer -- a PROFIT of almost $7!!! Now that is a deal!!!

Flameless Candles at Jewel


I happened to see a tag stating I'd receive $3 catalina coupon good on my next purchase when I bought just one of the Glade Flameless Candles. They are normally $9.99! Ouch! They were on sale, though, for $6.99, and I was almost certain I had seen a recent coupon!

I searched and found two $5 coupons, making my price just $2+tax, and earned a $3 coupon! I bought two, and earned about a $1 profit!

These are some of my favorite "candles" there is truly no flame, so it's safe for my children, but it still flickers like a real candle, and has the scent to go along with it! This is a great deal!
