Noosa - cheap, not free

2014-02-25T10:17:00.001-08:00

I was at Wegmans a day or two ago and looked at the price of the Noosa yogurt. It's $2.49 for the smaller size, and $4.99 for the larger. With the $.75 off 1 that would double to $1.50 off, it would make it cheap, but not free. Just a heads up!

And just had to vent.... of course there is a Blue Diamond Almond Breeze coupon! Just the other day I bought some (and fought within me) because I like it so much. UGH. Always happens to me.

I made a quick stop at Dash's yesterday to grab a few things of the Sweet Jenny's ice cream, which is BOGO free this week. I am just in love with the Orange Chocolate flavor. TO DIE FOR. The Hertel location was the one I went to that had it, in case you are looking to stock up too. =)

Tops is my next stop! I am gathering coupons and what not as we speak. Will update once I finally make it there!

I also won free passes to attend an advance screening of Non-Stop tonight, so excited!!

Hope your week is looking up!

2014-02-21T05:37:00.000-08:00

I have printed a bunch of coupons and can't wait to hit the stores today! Going to try to stock up on the guac while it's still free!!

What are your plans for today?

My shopping trip yesterday at Tops and Wegmans - FREE Silk non dairy Yogurt!

2014-02-19T08:53:00.000-08:00

I have been seeking better for you, all natural, and anything healthy-esque lately. I really want to eat better, lose weight, and be in top shape so I can do more outdoor activities in the summer.

With that being said... in the past few weeks Tops has been marking down a lot of their organic/good for you stuff down, dramatically, at least 50%, sometimes even more!!!
And Wegmans... well there good for you section has a lot to choose from, so it's a good alternative when I can't find what I want to obtain the maximum amount of gas points at Tops. lol.

So let me tell you about my shopping trips yesterday!

Wegmans!
Silk dairy free yogurt $1.29 Used $.75 off 1, doubled up to $1.29 = FREE
Find the coupon for Silk here: http://mambosprouts.com/coupon-gallery
Blue Diamond Unsweetened Original Almond Milk $2.99 (no coupon, but it's my favorite one!)
Found a pork roast for only $5.75! The signs read $2.49/lb for pork, but don't be fooled! Look at the labels and it's really at $1.99/lb of pork. Great stock up prices!

Tops!
Scored that cereal deal... buy 4 select cereals, get 200 gas points
- 2 Multigrain dark chocolate cheerios - Used (2) $.75/1
- 1 Fiber one cranberry almond - Used (1) $.75/1
- 1 kashi go lean - Used (1) $.70/1
2 Wholly Guamole $.99 Used (2) $1 off!
Health is Wealth Chicken tenders $3.29 - Used $.50/1 (doubled to $1)
Health is Wealth Chicken nuggets $3.29 - Used $.50/1 (doubled to $1)
Health is Wealth Veggie munchers $3.29 - Used $.50/1 (doubled to $1)
-the above coupon is a internet printable from their site, totally worth it!
Florida Natural smoothies 2/$6 - used (2) $1/1
2 Lloyd's BBQ single tubs $1 - Used (2) $1/1

Just wanted to say... the Wholly Guacamole, was SO good. I bought two spicy homestyle ones yesterday, and the one is almost gone! I had the other two before (spicy and classic) and I just didn't care for them, but this one tastes just like I made it at home. SO GOOD. Going to print more coupons and freeze a few lol.

The mambo sprouts site has coupons for some other products I saw while shopping. Such as the Noosa yoghurt. Wegmans carries that as well, just printed the coupon today, so I will see what I can score with that.

I am still on the search for the snack size Evol burritos. Hopefully my Target will have them soon.

I am going to check Tops for that Silk yogurt too, hopefully they have it so I can score some gas points lol.

Happy hunting!

Rimmel London's Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation

2013-11-30T22:13:00.001-08:00

Hello all! Sorry I have been here and there, it's been a rough few months. My sweet little girl, Boston, was killed on August 20, 3 days after my birthday. I miss her like crazy and love her even more each and every day. It's so hard without her and even worse because Brody lost his best friend. It hurts to see him look for her, but hopefully time will heal that.

Anyways....

Back to this, I have been missing this as well.

Influenster was kind enough to send me Rimmel London's new Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation. It's super new and truly delightful.

How I have been using it:

First... I wash my face. I just recently bought this chamomile eye makeup remover and it's been really nice on my skin and doesn't burn! I then wash with either my Arbonne face wash or currently I have a Biore scrub in the bathroom as well. I interchange the two, depending on my mood or what I think will work better.

Then... I apply it! It glides on so easily and just rub until it blends. You don't need a lot, so don't over do it! Do a little at first and see how far that takes you.

After... Apply makeup as usual.

My skin tone is super light, so it's hard to find a foundation that blends well or even looks like it is natural. The mousse blended so easily on my skin, it actually looks natural. I am not washing it off and just going without foundation, I can leave it on!

Obviously mousse implies that it is light weight, but I didn't realize foundation could be that light. I loved that feeling, I didn't feel like I was just loading stuff on my face to clog my pores. My face felt like it could breathe and my pores weren't that noticeable. Shine control was also rolled into this little gem. My face wasn't super shiny, which is nice, because you can't take a good picture with light reflecting off ya like crazy, lol.

I wasn't too sure if I would care for it, but price doesn't affect quality!! I was using the Maybelline FitMe liquid foundation. It was very messy and you had to spend a lot of time rubbing it in. So not the case with Stay Matte. I think I found my new go to foundation.

Thanks Influenster!!!!

Off! Spray as cheap as 99 cents!

2013-07-23T12:07:00.000-07:00

Walgreens has it for $4.99 (the botanical one)
-use $4 off 2 from inserts a few weeks back
-use $2 off 1 from their savings book
- just pay 99 cents!

Happy shopping!!

Sinful Shine Nail Color Review

2013-07-23T12:01:00.000-07:00

Hello all!

It's been a few weeks and I wanted to update everyone on my thoughts and opinions on the products I was able to try for free! This Sinful Shine nail polish is awesome, hands down. It lasts for weeks and doesn't chip away right away. I was able to try the color Spitfire, and it looks awesome against my skin tone!! Oh and it looks professional too.

This line is available at Walgreens and it's $2.99 a bottle. It's so WORTH it! I compare it to OPI, but cheaper and lasts longer, believe it or not. I would not hesitate to recommend this to anyone and I plan to also grab a few more colors.

The main thing I love about it that it lasts long, because I can get a little lazy when it comes to my nails lol. I do so much sometimes that waiting for my hands and feet to dry is a task that takes too much time. Not with this, I painted my toe nails and they dried within a minute! So impressed!

Will update with a picture of what they look like once it uploads to my computer!!

Stay tuned for my other reviews!!

And of course deals too!!!

Influenster Sun Kissed Vox Box Review

2013-07-09T11:10:00.000-07:00

Hello!

Things certainly have been on the move! Summer is here and there isn't a better feeling than feeling the warmth of the sun on your skin. Of course after you put on lots of suntan lotion! Otherwise, I would fry.

If you aren't a member yet, you need to sign up right now! Influenster sent me a box of full sized goodies to try and I was SO excited to get them in the mail! Especially the BB cream since I have been hearing the buzz about this new cream that everyone is starting to make and almost every consumer is out to buy.

I will post up individual reviews of each product, but just wanted to post an overview first, so everyone is on the same page!

Full sized products to try... you cannot go wrong! Inside the box I received: Dr. Scholl's for her High Heel insoles, Olay Fresh Effects BB cream - light, Sinful Colors SinfulShine nail polish in Spitfire, and Goody Ouchless Ribbon Elastics.

When I first received the box, I was taken aback just because the box was shaped differently than normal, but the content inside made it so worth it! I can't wait to share my thoughts!!!

Shopping trip updates!

2013-06-19T09:09:00.003-07:00

Hello!

Have you been to Dollar Tree lately? I have spotted Campbell's slow kettle soup at 2 different locations... that means use the $1 off 1 that is available on campbells.com or through coupons.com and it will be FREE!

I have not been to Tops or Wegman's this week, but I did stop at Dash's on Sunday! lol.
Gia Russa makes an amazing Spicy Alla Vodka sauce and it was on sale for $3.99, I had no coupons, but for that price you can't beat it!
They also have Yancey's Fancy cheese wedges on sale for $3.99 and I have a bunch of $.50 off yancey's fancy cheese coupons from various festivals I have been to, so I couldn't pass up that deal!
They also have Sweet Jenny's ice cream for Buy one get one FREE, but of course they were out of the flavors I love... like orange chocolate and mint and brownie.... and the list goes on lol.

Oh wait! I did stop at Tops's really quickly on Sunday to pick up three boxes of the Fruttare bars! I had $2 off coupons and got each box for $1. I was going to originally use them at Target, but the Target coupon store expired and they only had 1 flavor I liked. So it worked out. They are really yummy and pretty healthy for you! I needed something else to conquer my palate besides ice cream... lol.

I plan on going to Weggies and Tops again this week so hold on for those updates!

I hope everyone is getting deals like crazy!
Rite Aid and CVS have been a bummer for me lately... I was able to score 2 free Fresh Brush starter kits at Walgreens last week though, the last two they had! I advise printing that $3 off 1 coupon because I feel like those will go on sale again!

Almay deodorant at WalMart

2013-06-11T20:01:00.001-07:00

Hello!!!

Do you have those $4/1 Almay coupons and like me do not need any more makeup?
You are in luck! At WalMart they have Almay deodorant for $2.24! That is a profit of $1.76 per one! Take this time to get a few things you don't have coupons for, or just let them pay you!

Any other great WalMart finds?

Keep your eyes open at Dollar Tree!!!

2013-06-11T19:58:00.001-07:00

Hello!!

Sorry I have been slacking lately, I have been so concentrated on getting free gas at Tops, I forgot I had somewhere to post my accomplishments!!

We ran into a Dollar Tree quickly today and to my surprise there was a few things to take note of!

-They have Colgate toothpaste that will work with the $1 off 4oz or more

-They have Campbell's Slow Kettle soup!!! So print the $1 off from Campbells' website to get it free!

-Spotted the Mean Green degreaser, unfortunately left my coup at home

It's sad to say there were a few other things I spotted, but for the life of me I CANNOT remember, so I cannot print coupons for something I have no recollection of... bummer. When I go back, I will definitely make sure to take pictures and write notes.

What have you been finding at Dollar Tree?

That is our stock up price on Cheez-its (well his, I don't like them) So he has been asking everyone to print off those coupons for him! Great price and gets me more gas points... I love it!!

Update on the deals we have been raking in!

2013-04-20T13:43:00.002-07:00

Hello!

Sorry it's been a while since I las posted, but we have been organizing like crazy! I want to update everyone on the deals we have been getting and what is to come in the future!

So... I finally gave WalMart a chance... and it has been paying off!

Glade sprays $.99   Use $2 off 2 glade producs (NLA)
Duncan Hines Frosting creation mixes $.97 Use $1 printable
Rice dream milk or soy dream milk $1.88   Use $2 printable

We have been making money on the overages!
And donating a lot! Which gives us a lot more satisfaction than hoarding lol.... I am always glad to help someone who needs it.

Our local Dollar Tree is collecting producs for a kids camp, so we donated all of the free soap we got in one transaction to them. We also scored free burritos, which are not very good, but we are donating those to a local food pantry.

And I am also hitting up CVS today to spend my $5 off $30 or more coupon... I am going to combine that with the P&G deal (spend $30 get $10 back)

I hope your shopping trips are successful as well!! Let me know how you did...

Success for the week, so far...

2013-03-27T11:49:00.001-07:00

Hello!

Rich and I have been loving this month of coupons and deals! Who can pass up free razors?! Not us! We have razors for life now lolol.

I am getting more excited because this weekend is Easter and then next week Thursday I will be leaving for New York City!!! It will be my first time in NYC and I am SO excited! We are headed to Wrestlemania which is April 7... yes I am, have been, and will continue to be a HUGE wrestling fan!!
If you have any 'must-haves to do in NYC', please share! I want to experience it to the fullest!

Moving on...

So yesterday night we decided to head over to our 24 hour Rite Aid and see if they had the disposable razors... the ones I am so desperate in finding... and THEY DID!!!

My transaction at Rite Aid:

1 Schick razor @ $12,49 -20% = $9.99
3 Schick disposables @ $11.99 -20% = $9.59
1 Skintimate shaving cream @ $3.29 -20% = $2.63
2 Laffy Taffy @ $.59 (my favorite candy, I can't pass when they are this cheap!)
1 L'Oreal Sublime Mousse @ $9.49 -20% = $7.59
1 L'Oreal Excellence Creme @ $8.99 -20% = $7.19

Used:
(4) $4 off Schick razor or disposable in-ad coups
(3) $4 off Schick disposable
(1) $4 off Schick razor
(1) $2 off shaving cream in-ad coup
(1) $1 off Skintimate shaving cream
(2) $2 off L'Oreal Sublime mousse or excellence creme in-ad coups
(1) $5 off two L'Oreal haircolors

(4) $1 +ups
(2) $1.99 +ups

Paid: $6.39 oop (tax was $5.02!!! No way getting around using +ups for that unfortunately)

Earned: (2) $10 Schick +ups Still a little short for my L'Oreal one though... no worries!!!

Rich was doing a similar deal with shaving creams and razors, but forgot many of his coupons at home! So he has to go back and adjust it.

I did the Venus razor deal at CVS as well... paid $6.99 for Venus razor (the single one) got back $4 ECB and used $3 coupon. Not too bad! I had to search for that one as well.

Our success Over The Weekend

2013-03-11T07:08:00.002-07:00

Hello!

Richie and I did not go to Rite Aid yet this week, pumped to go tonight! We have our eyes set on free suntan lotion, more free products from Emerson, almost free products from the Schick deal, and some cheap arm and hammer detergent.

But I wanted to recap the stores we did hit over the weekend...

Tops

We did two separate transactions to take advantage of the save $5 wyb 5 instantly

Transaction #1
5 Dial Complete handsoaps @ 2/$4 = $10
2 Soft and Scrub @ 2/$5 = $5
6 Renuzit @ $1 = $6

Used $1 off 2 Dial, $1 off 3 Dial, (2) $1 off any Soft Scrub, and 4 dollar doublers, and (2) Buy 2 get 1 free Renuzit

Total = $6 + tax

Transaction #2
5 Dial Complete handsoaps @ 2/$4 = $10
4 Dole frozen fruit @ 2/$7 = $14

Used $1 off 2 Dial, $1 off 3 Dial, (2) $1 off any 2 Dole frozen fruit items, and 4 dollar doublers, and Dole catalina that printed (forgot the value off hand)

And the Dole counts towards the SavingStar money back! (Save $5 wys $14!) So that made it even sweeter!

Also grabbed two L'Oreal Everpure clearance items @ $3.64, used $2 off coupon and $1.50 off catalina on shampoo or conditioner product

Total = ~$14 with tax

I asked for rainchecks for the Right Guard deal and also the Ban deodorant deal, so excited to score those for under a dollar!!!

Rite Aid

Here is where Richie took off! Lol.

He did the spend $25 get $10 back on Schick products, he got 2 Schick shaving creams and 5 Edge shaving creams - Used a BOGO free coupon on Edge and (5) $1 off coupons, BOGO free (1@$9.99) on Nature Made Minis - Used (2) $3 off coupons (he has been all about buying vitamins all of a sudden lol), and he bought 2 Rite Aid q-tips @ $2.99 each to get the $1 back and used the $1 in ad coupons.
He paid about $20 and got back $11 to spend next time, not too bad since he threw in some extra things!

I did the Emerson deal and it left me with $4.07 towards my next round, so excited!

Dollar Tree

We SCORED here! He was so cute walking around with his envelope trying to out deal me lol.

We walked up and down each aisle looking to see what was available... (We did do this trip in two separate days, since the one manager was unable to comprehend coupon wording... ERGH!)

He started with free samples yesterday too... lol he makes me laugh!

So to start him off I wanted him to pick a store and work on that one first. I got us two envelopes (one for each of us) and gave each of us coupons to start.

Got back:

$2.99 poise +up (x2 of them)

$2 dove +up

$3 bandaid neosporin +up (x2 of them)

$2 clairol +up (x3 of them) (I am guessing I got three because the cashier scanned another one in by accident?)

Pretty successful trip I would say!! Paid a little more then I meant to, but that is why we roll our money over, to get more... I just was being impatient and couldn't wait the extra day to roll... ahhh!
