Cellfire - Load Q's to your Kroger Card

But I was able to load Q's just like P&G and Shortcuts. .50 off Cottonelle, .50 off Gold Fish, Free Active Lifestyle Oatmeal, etc. There were even a couple of Huggies coupons... They've got other coupons that you can store on your cell phone for us in a store, like B1G1 used DVDs (purchase) at Hollywood Video. Very interesting..

Kroger & Meijer...

Ok so...
Make sure you load up your Kroger card w/the e-Coupons

Olay Ribbons Body Wash is on sale for $1.99. e-Coupon for B1G1 Makes these only .99 each. And if you have a coupon for this, it's even sweeter.

CoverGirl is 25% off... I found a mascara for $3.72. Load the e-Coupon for B1G1, bring along 2 $1 off Cover Girl coupons, and end up paying $1.72'ish for BOTH. (.86 ea?)

I also found some really cute BRIGHT BRIGHT shades of eyeshadow - single cake - for around $2.70 - use w/$1 off Cover Girl for an inexpensive shadow. There were also some "normal" colors, but this is for the daughters... so

I found also some Sally Hansen Nail Polish for .75, (usually .99). It was on an endcap, and they were on on cards sealed with plastic - hanging. I didn't have my Sally Q's w/me, but .75 for decent polish is a screamin' deal. I'll be back tomorrow, lol.

Pantene is $3.33 each, so buy 2 (1 Shampoo OR Conditioner, and 1 Styler), load the e-coupon for B1 shampoo/conditioner, G1 Styler Free. Stack with $1 off ManQ's to make it $1.33 for both!

Sweet deals, right? But that's not even why I'm excited about Kroger today...

I found Cinnamon Sticks for cheap, FINALLY!! We've been in an "autumn" kind of mood, and craving mulled cider... We just paid around $5 at the WalMart for them, and it was like six 3 inch sticks. Kroger has a shrink wrapped bundle of about 6 sticks (12 inches long) for $1.99!!! Seriously... Just in time too...

Meijer Super Saturday Sale!! (Will take you to my ads...)
Ruffles Chips B1G1
3 6pks of 24oz Pepsi Bottles for $6.99
$1.77 for 5lbs of Gold Medal Flour
GALLONS OF APPLE CIDER!!! $2.50
General Mills Cereals - Select Varieties - $1.89
(Not a hot deal, but it's for Boo Berry, Frankenberry, and Count Chocula - so yeah)

Also...
Spend $50 - $99 General Merchandise/Apparel, get a register receipt tape coupon for $10 off your total purchase of Gasoline. 8gal fill up required.
Spend $100+ General Merchandise/Apparel, get a register receipt tape coupon for $20 off your total purchase of Gasoline, 8 gal fill up required.

There's a bunch more fine print, but I really cannot read it. My store didn't have a paper copy of this ad, go figure.

So there's plenty of fun deals in there... What caught my eye was the Cider to go w/my cheap Cinnamon Sticks. I love FALL!

Get a FREE Febreze Noticeables Starter Kit at Kroger!!!

As I was loading my P&G E-saver coupons to my Kroger card and my mother in law's Fry's card, I noticed a really good deal... Although there's some REALLY GREAT coupons to load this month.
Load the $5/1 e-coupon and bring your $5/1 ManQ from this month's Brandsaver insert (in papers 9/28 I believe) to get this for FREE! (And $2.32 overage!!) My Kroger had them priced (not on sale) at $7.68. I also took advantage of the e-coupon for $2/1 Febreze Candles. I found a candle (pumpkin scent) for $6.99 and used the $1/1 ManQ from the Brandsaver insert. Makes the candle @ $3.99 - if you factor in the overage from the Noticeable, it's about $1'ish for the both of them!

Make sure you look at some of the other coupons available to load up, some are really sweet... and of course (sale pending) will result in many free or nearly free items eventually!

Kroger & Glade ... Thanks for dinner

Last stop Kroger - practically next door to the CVS and Walgreens...

Took advantage of the Glade Gel Warmers Deal. Finally found a little pack of Cottonelle, and even though we're a Charmin Family, this will work nicely in the downstairs bathroom. Total OOP for both Transactions was $6.16, total savings $26.19!!! Transactions 1 & 2 share a photo.


Transaction 1:
Got 6 Gel Warmers @ 1.79 ea
-- used 3 B1G1 printables
Paid $6.12 OOP
Got back $12 in Catalina Cash, and walked directly back into the store.

Transaction 2:
5 Fuze Green Tea @ 1.50 ea
-- used 2 B1G1 Q's (from a tearpad - i need more!!!) (these deducted at 2.19 ea)
1 Tostitos Monterrey Jack Queso Dip @ 3.49
-- no Q's - it's just that good
Cottonelle @ .99 ea (I finally found a store w/this little pack!)
-- used $1/1 printable found in my car
Kroger Ground Beef @ 8.84 ea
Paid with the $12 in Catalinas, and $4.04 OOP
Got back $4 off my next order Catalina (from Fuze)

I know what you're thinking... could this woman possibly need any more air freshener? Honest answer is yes! 2800 sq feet home, 2 teenagers, 2 boys, 1 husband and a dog. Yes Yes Yes. I don't think we've got an outlet in the house that doesn't have some sort of air freshening product plugged into it.

I just can't help myself... I know

So I had to go back and re-do a few deals, I apologize in advance that my deals are little sketchy. I had a major crappy-checkout experience kind of day...

First stop was CVS - to find the ever-elusive ArniCare. I have found one store that has it so far, and it's not exactly convenient to go there often... But it's worth it because of the ECB I get back, and the fact that my son loves this.. It's great for his little calves' growing pains. (legs, not livestock)

1 Arnicare @ 9.49
-- used $2/1 ManQ printable
15 Soy Joy @ .50 ea
-- used 1 $3/5 ManQ printable
-- used 1 $2/10 ManQ
1 Cottonelle Wipes @ 2.00
-- used $1/1 printable
1 Reese's PB Cup @ .88

Used $2/10 CVS Q
Used $7 ECB
OOP: $1.04
Got back $8 ECB

Then off to Walgreens... Had a few more $5/$20 Q's just dying to get used, plus my ESR Gift Card was reloaded overnight. Happy me, oh happy day.

1 IndyStar (advance) Sunday Paper @ 1.75
1 Charmin 12pk @ 6.49
2 L'Oreal Color Match Hair Colors @ 9.00 ea
-- used $2/1 Walgreens Q (Crappy cashier manually rang it up, would ONLY allow 1)
-- used 2 $2/1 ManQ printables
2 L'Oreal Vive Gloss (Shampoo/Conditioner of the GODS)
-- used 2 $1/1 ManQ
$5/$20 Q

Got back $10 RR for buying $25 worth of L'Oreal (and these products get used DAILY here... so it was well worth it.)

Then to the Walgreens near the house.


1 Slim Fast Bars @ 4.99 ea
-- attempted to use $1.25 ManQ Printable (accused of fraud)

6hr Energy Shot Stuff @ 3.99
Loreal Towelettes @ 6.99 ea (these are awesome, btw)
-- used $1/1 ManQ

Used $5 off $20 Q
(while cashier was handing my "fraudulent internet printed coupons" back to me, one of them must have scanned, so I did end up saving $1.25... Although she doesn't have the Q for it... so I don't know where I stand there. Was a little too irritated to go back in and point out her error, what with me being a criminal and all. Rant over.

OOP 19.99 (on GC)
Rebates: $2 for Slim Fast (wording is dodgy, not sure if i get $2 or $4), $6.99 for L'Oreal Wipes, $7.49 for Rimmel, $3.99 for energy shots.


Then to the Kroger... Went through the UScan, and the cashier over-credited my "free" Kraft Cheese coupons to $4 (instead of $2.99).

12 Easy Macs @ .79 ea
-- 5 $1/2 ManQ
4 12oz Kraft American Cheese @ 2.99
-- used 4 "Free" Q's from All You
2 Glade Gel Warmers
-- used B1G1 Q
2 Cans Campbell's Chili @ 1.25 ea
-- prolly have Q's but didn't wanna dig for them

Used $4 worth of Glade Catalinas
Paid .98 OOP

Kroger paid me, then I robbed CVS and got some great deals at Walgreens.

I just got home and unpacked. Took the pictures and everything!! Can't find my transfer cable. I'll post the full details after the debate!

Ok, I set out today with very definite plans, and had to change them a bit on the fly...

First I went to the Walgreens to use my $5 off $20 Q... Here's what I did

4 Glade Scented Oil Candle Holders
-- used $2 off Walgreens Q (Sept book)
-- used 4 $2/1 ManQ
5 Glade Fabric Refreshers @ 3.99 ea
-- used $2 off Walgreens Q (Sept book)
-- used $1.50 off ManQ
12 pk Charmin TP @ 6.59 ea
-- used .25/1 ManQ

Used my $2 RR (From Pantene Deal)
Used $5/$20 Walgreens Q
Will submit for Oct ESR: $8 (Candles), $5 (Fabric Refresher)
OOP: $18.42

My OOP was higher than I had wanted it to be, but realized we were out of TP almost.

Next we ran over to the Kroger to take advantage of their Catalina deal of $2 for every Glade Gel Warmers. Ended up running 2 deals...


Transaction 1:
8 Glade Gel Warmers @ $1.79 ea
-- used 4 B1G1 ManQ's
OOP: $8.16
Got back $16 in Catalinas

Transaction 2: (operation feed hungry husband)
1 Big Bag of Farm Rich Cheese Sticks @ 7.06 ea
-- used $1/1 ManQ
1 Big Box of Jalapeno Poppers @ 8.26 ea
1 Big Bag of Reese's PB Cups @ 2.00 ea
Paid with $16 Catalinas + .46 OOP

While I was in the freezer section, I noticed some clearance health and beauty items (weird place to put them?) Among them was Oil of Olay Botanical Fusion Body Wash priced at $1.79. I only had 3 of my $2/1 Q's from Sept. Brandsaver... So there was a 3rd transaction.


3 Body Wash @ 1.79 ea
3 $2/1 ManQ
Went through UScan this time... And after all was said and done, I was owed .25!!! Well, I've since clipped five more Q's and will be back tomorrow for this stuff!

Then went to CVS
I had planned 2 cool transactions, but when I got to the 2nd CVS... They didn't have any Arnicare. I did do a 2nd transaction, but it wasn't what was planned.


Transaction 1:
10 Gatorades @ $1 ea
-- used 5 $1/2 Q's
6 Bags of Hershey Candy (5 kisses, 1 Rollo)
-- 2 $1/3 printables from smartsource.com
2 Reese's Big Cup @ .75 ea (hungry husband)

Used $14 ECB
Used $5/$25 (from magical coupon machine w/red light)
Paid: $1.02 OOP (on gift card)
Got back $7 ECB

Transaction 2:
4 Alpo Dog food cans @ 1.19 ea
-- B1G1 Q's
-- on sale B1G1
Toblerone Minis on clearance @ .75 ea
OOP: $0.97 (on gift card)


Also went to Meijer to get son a Peyton Manning jersey, and grabbed a couple of Fuze Green Tea w/Honey (used a B1G1 Q I found on a tearpad at CVS) and got the following Catalina:
Buy any Fuze Tea 18.5oz Between 9/12 and 10/5 and get a Catalina for $$$$ of your next order
Buy 3, get $2
Buy 4, get $3
Buy 5+, get $4
Dunno if Kroger has this same Catalina, but their Fuze is on sale for $1. If you can find the tearpad for B1G1, this could be a $$$ maker!
