I am having a ZipLoc Party! And they are sending me products FREE!

Yesterday, after I returned from work I was checking my email and I received one from House Party saying that I was a finalist in the ZipLoc home party! I was so excited. Well long story short........

FEBRUARY 7th at 6:00 pm

I am hosting the party. ZipLoc sends me all the stuff I need to get your house organized. How cool is that? I am so excited. But wait, it gets better. Everything I get the ones that attend get the same thing. So I'm anxious to see what comes in the box(s) of stuff. They ask me what was the one place in my house that needed organizing. Well I had 2 area's, one being my laundry room closet and the other being my attic. I had to send pictures of both. I was a little embarrassed about the attic to say the least...... maybe that will be my incentive to get up there and organize it. I know it will be if they send me the stuff to do a attic. I'll let you know how it goes and if your one that got invited be sure to RSVP so you can get all the goodies too!

Do you need Diapers? Well do I have a site to show you



Today I was searching for diapers for my 21 month old granddaughter, Sophie. Well I found a great deal. I ended up on http://www.diapers.com and I ordered this

Huggies Snug and Dry Diaper, 228 diapers for 38.99
Huggies Gentle Care Wipes, 184 wipes for 10.99
Got 10.00 off at the check out using code NIKX1189
my total was 39.98 for these

That's 17 cent a diaper! If you need smaller diapers of course you get lots more diapers. Great deal and the wipes ended up being .06 each. So if you need a good deal head on over. Remember to use the NIKX1189 to get your 10.00 off on your order.

Man it's cold outside! BRRRRR

Where is that 50 degree weather that we have had in the past week? I got up as normal at 4 am and it was nice and toasty in here. Got ready for work, (YES, even bloggers have to go to work) and stepped outside to a nice chilly 24 degree's. The kicker is the weatherman is saying it's suppose to be 18 degree's by 3:00 with the wind chill being below 0! Now I don't live in Alaska and I don't like this weather. I want to be out in the middle of the lake sunning not wrapped up like a eskimo. So I'm thinking maybe soup is on the agenda for supper. Anyone got any good soup receipes they would like to share?

Also, I'll be sharing with you a GREAT site on diapers. I have a 21 month old granddaughter named Sophia that we are just absolutely crazy about. So, anytime I can find bargains for her (and so not so bargains) I jump right on there. So stayed tuned and I'll list that site and the great deal I got on diaper's for her and her mommy. Also, got wipes to go along with it. You know it's like french fries..... gotta have the ketchup. Have a good day and I'll be back later to post about that.

What a SHOPPING trip! Whewwww

Well since today was double coupons at K-Mart I was there shortly after they opened. Also, had the chance to meet a fellow couponer from another town that was hitting the doubles for the day and we shared a few deals we found with each other!

So I'll try to tell you what I got. Should of took pictures but I didnt. I was ready to get it all put up. We went to K-Mart, CVS, Kroger, Target and Walgreens all in under 5 hours. Not bad.......and the stockpile went up even further. So here goes

K-Mart

Total: 126.07 in products
Coupons 66.37
Total Spent: 59.70

I got everything from Body wash, Visine, Mouthwash, Carefree, Cereal, Spray N Wash, Alka Seltzer, candy, LOTS of Byer, Motrin, Tynenol.

Plus received a $10.00 rebate from General Mills for $10.00 back on the cereal that I purchases so over all amount would be $49.70


CVS

First let me say that I have never EVER had a problem with a checker at CVS but since I was doing the double coupons at K-Mart I thought I would go to a different CVS then I normally do. Well this guy, had a different idea then I did and I'll explain it at the end.

1st Transaction

2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/ $4.00
2 Pledge with dusters 4.59

Used: CVS 3.00 off coupon
Used: 4.00 off $15.00 coupon
Used: 6.00 EBC

Total OOP .19



2nd Transaction

2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/$4.00
1 Dark Chocolate candy .33 (This is where the problem came in)
1 Twix .89

Used: 3.00 off CVS product coupon
2.00 EBC
Total OOP .23

3rd Transaction

2 CVS Diaper Wipes 2/$4.00
18 Dark chocolate candy .03 each total .54
1 Butterfinger .50

Used: $3.00 off CVS product coupon
2.00 EBC
Total OOP .05

Now where the problem came in at was the candy was marked .33 each, but when he rang it up it showed .03. But he was bound and determined that I wasnt going to get it at .03 and I was bound and determined after number 2 transaction that I was. So I ask to speak to the manager and he told me they didnt have one. I said you surely have someone that is in charge and he said yes we do. I said that would do. Well she happened to be walking by and he explained the situation and she said well let her have it at .03 and I'll correct it later. Well when transaction 3 came up and I was short using my EBC I just dumped the box of chocolates out on the counter and said start counting I'll take them all. I think my daughter could of crawled under the cart but it came up right with me owing .05. I guess I could of took one off but didnt want to make a scene over 1 candy. LOL and I figured also since I didnt make him correct Transaction number 2 for the .30 different we were even.

So total shopping at CVS was:

Total products: 23.44
Total saved 22.97
Total spent .47

So overall it was a great shopping day. You have all week to get out but I will say this, if you wait you take what's left. Most serious couponers where out getting the bargains early and I know the shelves where getting bare on some items. Like the chex mix. I had 1.50 off on each box and there were only 4 left. : (

Total today 181.91 in Free products!
10.00 gift cards from Target
