Ibotta

Have you heard of Ibotta yet? I just have, and so far I am loving it!!

The app is available for iPhone's only right now, but the Android version will be coming out soon. 

When you download the app, you have the option to sign up with your Facebook account. When you open the app, you will see all of the products that are available for you to earn from. 

I like Mio for the kids, so I am always looking for good deals on it. Right now, Ibotta is offering a $1.75 rebate when you buy Mio. I have already completed the "Learn a Fact", "Take a Poll", and "Facebook" to earn that $1.75, but I will not get the money until I actually buy the product. 

Here you can see what has been completed, what you can complete, and how much you get for completing them. 

I also have a coupon for Mio for $1.00 

Right now at Walmart.com they have Mio listed for $3.78. Since I have a $1.00 off coupon, AND I'm getting back $1.75 through Ibotta, I will be paying $1.03 for my Mio after I have taken the picture of my receipt and submitting it to the app. 

Once you reach $5.00 in rebates through the app, you can then move your cash into your PayPal account, and the funds will be available to you. 

Comment below and let me know what you think about this app! :)

Wiseway Deal #3

If you got their circular in your mailbox today, there was a Wiseway coupon for $5 off when you buy and 10 participating General Mills Box Top products in one shopping trip between Jan 11 and Jan 17.

Pair this coupon with the5 of the $.50 off 2 boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Shapes, Fruit by the Foot, Fruit Gushers or Fruit Roll-Ups coupon from the General Mills Jan 8 insert. 

You've got some pretty sweet savings!

Don't forget that Wiseway doubles coupons! In the back of the insert is also a coupon doubler, good for doubling up to $5 in Manufacturers coupons, with a minimum purchase of $10. 

Wiseway Deal #2

If you got their circular in your mailbox today, there was a Wiseway coupon for $5 off when you buy and 10 participating General Mills Box Top products in one shopping trip between Jan 11 and Jan 17.

Pair that coupon with 3 of the $1 off 3 boxes of General Mills cereal and you'll score yourself some pretty cheap cereal!

Wiseway Deal #1

Wiseway has a great deal right now!

If you got their circular in your mailbox today, there was a Wiseway coupon for $5 off when you buy and 10 participating General Mills Box Top products in one shopping trip between Jan 11 and Jan 17.

Combine this coupon with the 2, $1 on 5 Hamburger/Tuna/Chicken Helper coupons from the Jan 8 General Mills insert from your newspaper.

Wiseway is advertising the price of the Hamburger/Tuna/Chicken Helpers as $.89 each when you use their store coupon, but when you use the other 2 coupons as well, they're only $.69 each!

I've Moved!

If you are following me on FB, then you might have noticed that I've bombarded you guys with posts today, that I've then taken off lol.

That's because they're past posts from this blog, that I have added to my new blog. I couldn't get my RSS feed to work right from Blogger to FB, but with the help of my cousin, I got it to work with Tumblr to FB. So my new home will be here!

I'm going to leave this blog here for now, so feel free to read over the older blog posts, but remember to come visit me at my new home and to follow me on FB!

Walmart Trip Breakdown

Here's a breakdown of what my shopping trip was today:

6 - Eckrich smoked sausage- Wiseway had these on sale for $1.79, so I price matched at Walmart and used a $1.00 off 1 coupon for each. Total for all 6 was $7.74.

4- Johnsonville Italian Sausage - Wiseway had these on sale for $2.99, so I price matched at Walmart and used a $1.00 off coupon for each. Total for all 4 was $7.96.

2 - Sweet Baby Rays - Wiseway had these on sale for $0.69 (limit 2 @ Wiseway, so that's what I got), so I price matched at Walmart. Total for both was $1.38.

2- Dean's Dips - Wiseway had these on sale for $1.39, used 1 -$1.00 off 2 coupon. Total for both was $1.78.

2- Bar-S Hotdogs - Wiseway had these on sale for $0.99, but I actually found them cheaper at Walmart, so no price match, just a better deal. Used 1 - $1.00 off 2 coupon. Total for both $0.50.

6 - Pert Shampoo - Walmart has these in their trial section. I used 6 - $1.00 off coupons, and the actual price of the shampoo is $0.97, I got paid $0.03 for each one theoretically, but since I have to pay taxes, I paid $0.22 for all 6.

1 - Zyrtec 5ct. - Regular price was $5.27.  I got a coupon in the mail the other day for a FREE Zyrtec 5ct or $7.00 off another count, but I don't remember what it was. I opted for the FREE! Katie is on this stuff almost all year round it seems, so I'll take whatever I can get because even the generic is expensive.

1 - Great Value Cream Cheese - No coupon, so I just got the GV brand @ $1.72

1 - GV Bluberry Pancakes - No coupon, but Alyssa LOVES these and we were out, they were $3.00

1 - Cool Wip - This was on rollback for $1.00, regular price was $1.53. Not too bad, since I didn't have a coupon.

1 - Chips Ahoy cookies - $1.98, no coupon

3 - Carefree panty liners - $0.94 each, and I used 3 - $0.50 off coupons. Total for all 3 was $1.32.

1 - June "All You" magazine - $1.88

Total: $62.97
OOP: $33.23
Savings: 47%

I also stopped in at Walgreens to pick up two more packs of Huggies Little Swimmers since today was the last day they were on sale. They were on sale for $6.99, plus I used 2 - $2.00 off coupons, and 2 - $2.00 off Walgreens coupons, so the price for each pack was $2.99.

Total: $17.98
OOP: $5.98
Savings: 67%

Walmart Trip

Shopped today, but didn't take a pic since most of it was cold items that needed to go into the freezer, but I wanted to write an FYI post:


Walmart price matches other stores' sales/ads and you don't have to have the ad with you per Walmart's policy. They also take competitors coupons!! 

Also, if you live in NWI, Strack&VanTil takes expired coupons up to 30 days past their expiration, and finally, also if you live in NWI, Wiseway has a coupon doubler EVERY WEEK! They will double coupons up to .90 cents meaning a .90 cent coupon is worth $1.80, they will only double up to $5 though and you have to spend at least $10 to use the doubler.

Walgreens, CVS, and Walmart Trip

First stop: Walgreens

Huggies Swimmers were on sale for $6.99 this week, plus there was a coupon from the paper a few weeks back for $2.00 off a pack, PLUS, the Walgreens booklet had a coupon in it for $2.00 off, making each pack $2.99! I picked up 4 packs. 

Retail (before sales and coupons): $35.96
OOP:   $13.92
Savings: 61%.  

With a pool going in tomorrow, I'm sure Kevin will appreciate no poopy in the pool :)

Next: Walmart

I price matched at Walmart for the first time and I have to say, with a VERY patient cashier, it went very smoothly!

I got 6 - First aid kits (travel section), they go for $0.97 a piece, and used 3 - $1.00 off 2 coupon, making them $0.47 each, for a total of $3.22 after taxes.

I price matched 4 - Duncan Hines brownie mixes, (Jewel-Osco flyer 10/$10), with the price match this made them $1.00,(they're usually $1.64) and used 2 -$0.50 off 1 coupons for each, for a total of $2.00.

I got 6 - KC Masterpiece BBQ sauces, they go for $1.67 at my store, (others have reported them at $1.39), I used 6- $1.00 off 1 coupons, making them $0.67 each, for a total of $4.02.

I picked up 3 - 10LB bags of Tidy Cats litter, they have been going for $1.87 per bag, but they have raised the price on them and they are now $1.97 a bag. I used 3 - $2.00 off coupons, and with taxes taken out from the overage, I got all three for $0.32.

I price matched 6 - Oscar Meyer Lunchables, (Jewel-Osco flyer 10/$10), with the price match this made them $1.00, (they're usually $1.58) and I used 6, $1.00 off 1 coupons, making these free, since there's no tax on food in Indiana. 

I also picked up 1 - Nexcare box of bandaids that are on Rollback at Walmart right now for $1.00, and I used $1.00 off 1 coupon, making them only $0.28 after taxes.

Finally, I picked up a FREE bag (regular price $2.76) of Oreida Sweet Potato Fries with a coupon that I received in the mail, and I can't wait to eat them!!

Retail: $41.55

OOP: $12.28
Savings: 70%

I was going to price match Ronzoni Garden Delight pasta as well, since I found those other 6 coupons, but my Walmart does not sell that kind, they sell the Healthy Harvest and the Smart Taste, so I will have to wait for another time to use those.

Final Trip: CVS

CVS had a GREAT deal on Purex laundry detergent this week, and as soon as I found out how good a deal it was, I ordered some extra coupons, since I only had 1 - $1.00 off 50oz+ Purex coupon. The Purex at my CVS is usually priced at $6.29 for a 32 load/50 oz bottle. This week's sale, had them for $1.98 a bottle (limit 4). I picked up 11 bottles, and did three transactions, and used 11 - $1.00 off coupons, making them $.98 each, a total steal! (I was really surprised there were even any bottles at my CVS)

Retail: $69.19
OOP: $12.30
Savings: 82%

Softsoap Body Wash at CVS

If you've ever shopped at Walgreens or CVS, than you know that when you check out, you're sometimes handed a receipt AND a coupon for something. Most times, you probably don't even look to see what the coupon is for, and you just toss it in the trash along with your receipt. 


Well, you might want to start keeping those if you're going to be couponing! CVS gives you back what are called "Extra Care Bucks", and they can add up to some seriously cheap items :)

Right now, when you buy 2 Softsoap body washes, which are on sale 2/$7, you get a $5 ECB back. Yes, you have to pay $7 out of pocket, BUT if you use this coupon as well, then you will be paying $5.50 out of your pocket, and get $5 back in the form of an ECB, which you can use on your next purchase. The final price for both body washes will be $0.25 each after your ECB.  I am not an expert on this keep in mind, and I have honestly not used ECB before, since I have yet to really make a trip to CVS that involved one. I am though, going to try this one I think, since it seems pretty cut and dry. Hopefully my ECB doesn't expire before I find a great deal to use it on!


Thank you Coupon Mamacita for this deal!

Tidy Cats

If you aren't subscribed to Tidy Cats you should be! (at least if you have cats, and even if you don't, consider printing this one out, picking up the litter and taking it to your local shelter, since it's FREE!)

An email was sent out this morning with a $2.00 off ANY one package, ANY size, ANY variety! FREE litter plus overage if you go to Walmart and buy the 10lb bag!

If you "like" them on their Facebook pace, you can still get this coupon, but consider signing up for their newsletter, since you'll be directly notified when new coupons come out :)

Jewel-Osco Shopping Trip

After church yesterday, we stopped at Jewel-Osco so we could pick up some pasta. Ronzoni put out a coupon (still available) last week for $1.00 off 2 Smart Taste, $1.00 off  2 Garden Delight and $1.00 of 2 Healthy Harvest pastas. Jewel-Osco has them on sale right now (5/19-5/25) 10/$10, so $0.50 a box! The retail price is $2.39 per box here.

I picked up 24 boxes and paid $12.00! Kevin and I figured up the math, and retail would have been almost $60! My savings ended up being almost 80%, plus when I came home, I was going through coupons, and found 6 - $1.00 off 1 Ronzoni pasta! So I'm going to run out and get some more, which will be absolutely free, and those will be going to our city food bank :)

Eckrich Smoked Sausage

There's a good deal on Eckrick Smoked Sausage this week at Meijer (May 22-28th)

They are 3 for $5.00 and with the$1.00 off 2 coupons that I have, I will be getting 6 for $10 and using 3 coupons making all of them just over $7.00, just over $1.00 each!!

Don't have that coupon? Head on over to Coupons & Things by Dede to buy the Eckrich clipped coupon for $0.10 each or you can but whole inserts! Shipping is fast, I usually get mine in a few days, and if you order today, you should be able to get it right in time for the sale. :)

Pillsbury Sweet Moments Coupon

Head on over to the I Heart the Mart website for a $1.10 off coupon for Pillsbury Sweet Moments Refrigerated Desserts!

**UPDATE** My Walmart (Portage) no longer carries the item pictured, only the little brownie bite ones, and those were $2.50.

Apparently these are at Walmart for about $1.50, with a $1.10 off coupon, this makes for some VERY cheap munchies! :)

Kool-Aid Coupon

Go to Kool-Aid's Facebook page, like them, and then enter your information for a chance to win a number of different items (stated below). After you enter, you can print out a $0.50 off 5 coupon!

Walmart has Kool-Aid for $0.20 a packet, so if you buy 5, that would be $1.00, use your coupon, and it's only $0.50!

We'll probably go through a lot of Kool-Aid this summer, so that's a pretty good deal for me to stock up on personally :)

Thanks to I Heart the Mart for this deal!

Lever 2000 Coupon

$1.00 off 1 Lever 2000

Family Dollar apparently has these for $2.00

which would make them $1.00 each. Not too shabby!

Thanks to Coupon Mamacita for this deal!

Pine-Sol

Head on over to Pine-Sol's page for a $1.00 off any scent of 28 or 48 oz coupon. Walmart apparently has this for $1.97, so $0.97 after the coupon! 

 

Thanks to A Full Cup for this deal!

Vlasic Pickles

Katie LOVES pickles, and we typically buy Vlasic when we do, so this will be a coupon that we'll definitely be using, and quickly!

**UPDATE**  We used these coupon, and were able to get 2 of the 46oz jars of the "Ovals" for $1.38! These jars are HUGE and they were on the bottom shelf for the same price the 24oz jars were! We also got 2 24oz jars of the "Spears".

The coupon is for $0.55 off ANY Vlasic Pickles. Apparently they're at Walmart for $1.88, which after the coupon would make them $1.38. Keep in mind, store prices vary by area! If you're lucky enough to have a store that doubles, we'll it will make for some cheaper pickles!

Thanks to Maven of Saven' for this deal!

Reach Toothbrushes

There's a deal going around for FREE Reach brand toothbrushes at Walgreens. My store didn't have the double packs that everyone is talking about on sale, but they did have single brushes on sale for $0.99 each. I used 2 - $2.00 off 2 reach toothbrushes coupons that I got from the paper 5/8. I paid $0.98 (the cashier told me I needed a filler because of taxes) for 4 toothbrushes. Still not a bad deal! I don't know that the other deal is completely free anyway, considering I got back a $2.00 register reward towards MORE Reach toothbrushes and you had to pay $2.00 out of pocket lol.

Mueller's Pasta

Mueller's has a $1.00 off ANY pasta right now! I've only been able to find it online at Meijer, and it's for 2 - 1lb boxes for $2.90, but if you divide that price by 2, and then subtract your $1.00 coupon, it makes for some VERY cheap pasta! It might even be cheaper at Walmart or Target!

Cheap Cap'n Crunch

While I was at Walmart the other day, I remembered that I had Cap'n Crunch coupons.....at home. So I took a look around at prices to see what I could see, and I found some $1.00 boxes! I knew that my Dollar General had them, so that was my secondary store. The boxes are smaller, but if you use the $0.50 off ANY box of Cap'n Crunch, you're going to save yourself 50% just like that!
