Shopping



Here in Portland, we have been having a lot of snowy weather, which is unusal for us. I did get out and brave the weather for a few deals and some Christmas shopping. Sorry about the small picture. I have been taking my pictures with my husband's I-phone, and for some reason they import really small.


Safeway

Trans #1
2 Kelloggs Frosted Flakes (one isn't pictured)
3 Kelloggs Mini-Wheats
2 Fresh Express Spinach

Used: 2 $.75 Fresh Express mfq (next to product)
-4 $1 mfq (should have been 5, but cashier forgot to scan one of them)
-$5 SFWY breakfast event (buy 5, get $5 off)
-$2 SFWY doubles
=$1.54

Trans #2
1 Tide 50 oz. $6.49
4 cans clams $1.25ea.
1 Daisy sour cream $2.25
3 Lawry's taco seasonings $.79ea.
1 pack Jello cookie cutters - FREE!
Used: -$1 SFWY Tide super coupon
-$1 Tide mfq
-2 $1/2 snows clams mfq
-$.50 daisey mfq
-$1/3 Lawry's mfq
-$2 SFWY doubles
=$8.61
Note: The P&G e-SAVER Tide coupon did not work when I bought the Tide, so I emailed them and they are researching the problem for me.


Rite Aid
1 pack Olay soap $3.19
1 kids DVD $3.99 (FAR) great stocking stuffer for my son!

Used: $2 RA Olay coupon in ad
-$1 Olay mfq
=$4.18 (paid w/ prior rebate $ and will get $3.99 rebate)


Walgreens

I had to split this up into a bunch of different transactions because my store will only let me use one RR per transaction. I won't go through each transaction, since every store seems to have it's own rules about that, but I'll list out what I got.

1 Bald Guys head wipes $4.99 FAR
2 Olay Regenerist face cleansers $11.47 (on sale as BOGO 50% off, but didn't ring up that way. Beware!)
4 Zooth tooth brushes
1 box DeMet Chocolat Turtles
2 Russell Stover Private Reserve Luminary 6.7oz FAR
1 pack skittles (filler)

I used up 2 $5RR's and 1 $4.50RR that were all expiring this week, and ended with 2 $2RR's. I will get back $14.99 in Walgreens rebates and $15 from Olay. You can go here to get more information on the rebate that Olay is offering right now.


Albertsons
2 Yoplait kids yogurt
1 Progresso chicken broth
2 GG Valley Steamers
1 Jenny-O ground turkey $6.99

Used: -$4 GM promo
-2 $1.50 yoplait IP
-$1 Progresso mfq
-2 $1 GG mfq
-$2 SFWY double
=$4.99
So....Total OOP for everything: $15.14!

My Wag manager informed me that NOT all the Olay cleansers are BOGO half off. It's a very decieving promo, because there are so many varieties. Sadly he would not honor on my face washes, so I left with out them! LAME! :(

Wow, that is lame! You might want to try another store, since the ad doesn't specify which aren't included. Seems like misleading advertizing if they don't honor all BOGO 1/2 off. I always check out at the cosmetic counter. Sometimes they are nicer there.

They just had them at the check stands and threw it in my bag as I left. I guess they were giving them away free :)
