Newbie’s First Score
Posted in: - Select a Store, The Brag Lounge // Comments (1)
I just started couponing in mid August 2011 and this was only my 3rd try. My first try was a total failure, I spent WAY too much money. The second time was a little better but this was my first time walking out of the store and paying less than a dollar, what a rush. I know these scenarios aren’t as good as other ones that I read on here but I think I did a good job considering my newbie status. What do you think?
I started my trip at Rite Aid where I bought two boxes of the 50ct Azo which were originally $10.49 each but with the B1G1Free promotion and a $10 +UP I walked out paying .49 total.
I then proceeded right next door to CVS were I made two transactions. The first included: a double pack of 12 oz. ReNu contact solution originally priced at $6.99 but I had a $2.00 off MQ and I received $7 back in ECB making the item virtually free. I had a $3 off 2 Vick’s products coupon which I used to buy one bottle of DayQuill and one NyQuill the store was also running a promotion of 2 for $10 plus $3 in ECB basically making them $1.49 . Then to pay for my order I used $10 of ECB from a previous visit making my OOP total $4.48 + $10 in ECB. For my second transaction I used the $3 EBC I earned from the Vick’s products and bought two Arm & Hammer toothpastes originally $4.59 with a coupon that was $1.50 off 2 bringing the total down to $3.09 and like I said I used the $3 ECB making my total .41
The last store I went to was Walgreens where I bought one Old Spice body wash (orig. $4.99), one Old Spice Deodorant (orig. $5.79), one Gillette body wash (orig. $4.99), and one Gillette Deodorant. For both brands the store was running a B1G1 50%off deal. For the Old Spice I had a buy one body wash get a deodorant free coupon as well as a $3 RR bringing the total down to .29 and for the Gillet I used a different buy one body wash get a deodorant free coupon in combination with a $1 off coupon making them $2.29 my total OOP price was $3.74.
After three stores I wound up spending $9.12 OOP plus $7 in ECB which I kinda look at as spending $2.12. I saved a total of $69.54. Not bad for a newbie?!?!

Free Cookie at The Great American Cookie Company on October 1st!
Posted in: Dining, Freebies // Comments Off
I love cookies! I could eat a chocolate chip cookie every day. The problem is, if I make a batch, I can’t eat just one. It’s more like six or seven! Since I don’t have much willpower, I just buy one at a good cookie place every once in a while. Tomorrow (10/1), we can get one for free at The Great American Cookie Company as they kick off their Reading is Sweet Book Drive! The cookies are available from 10:00-2:00 at participating locations – go ahead, get a sweet treat for yourself! And you can get more cookies throughout the month of October every time you donate a new or gently used book!
Thanks, The Freebie Blogger

Posted in: Kroger // Comments (2)
My husband won’t eat a sandwich or a hamburger without a pickle. I, on the other hand, am not a fan of pickles, so I always forget to stock up on them. This new coupon on Vlasic pickles will let me stock up on some at Kroger’s. They are normally $3.55 but will only cost $1.74 with our scenario. A good stock of pickles, especially dill pickles, equals a happy husband in my house!
