HOT Pantene Clearance at CVS!

Wasn't sure where to post this, but our CVS has lots of Pantene Shampoos and conditioners, as well as some mousse on clearance 75% off, in their end cap facing the pharmacy. They are 1.24, and with the $1/1 MQ, only .24! The types they had were the navy blue cap and the pink cap ones

Thanks Kathryn!!

Toys, Toys, Toys

If you haven't been to the Frys Marketplace on Pinal/McCartney you have been missing out on the HUGE toy/game clearance going on! They have LOTS of tables HEAPING with toys marked 50% down. I am still hoping that they will go 75% -- but if I don't see that happen before too long I will start stocking up!

Think Christmas, Birthdays... donations :)

There are games and toys for kids 0 - 10... I didn't see much in the video game, etc area.

Let me know if you see them get marked down even further!

The Splurge

So I totally splurged today! I finally bit the bullet and bought the fancy schmancy double stroller that I have been dreaming of for 4 1/2 months...

Isn't it wonderful :) And there is a cool extra bar that fits on the front to let TWO carseats riding at the same time. And currently, that would be super useful! :)

So yes, I spent a lot of $$ but I did shop smart.

Here's what I did:

I looked all around and decided on the stroller I wanted. I checked craigslist and decided against purchasing used... b/c its a good investment afterall, why not just go for it?! Then I started shopping online and comparing stores.

Diapers.com $224.99

Amazon.com $220.54

BabiesRUs.com $279.99

and so on.

Then I looked for coupon codes to up my value and keep my OOP down and found a 15% off first purchase code for diapers.com that included free 1-2 day shipping! Oh and there was no tax.. odd but a happy surprise. So with a savings of nearly $34 I went with Diapers.com. I tried to stack this with other codes and couldn't but I am still happy with my savings.

Then of course I sold a few things on Craigslist to help out the difference. I am still OOP less than $100 for my brand new AMAZING stroller :) Now I just have to convince the hubby I can spend another $140 and get the matching carseat... LOL

 Want to cash in on some savings too? If you already have an account just make a new one with one of the many emails I am sure you have and use the code: THEB3035 to save 15% off your order too!

Amazon Diaper Deal

KC over at Desert Deals Diva and Kim at Arizona Savings BOTH posted about amazing Amazon Diaper deals...

Thought I would share my own. Definately not as great as theirs... but I didn't have my hands on quite as many codes. If only I had grabbed that stack of August Parents magazines at my Pediatrician's office I was tempted too.... sigh.

My order:

156 ct Huggies Diapers (size 3) $35.00

2 ct. Soothie Nipples - Stage 2 $4.29

Shipping $16.71

- Free Shipping $16.71

-$7 Promotion (August Code)

-$7 Promotion (September Code)

= $25.29 OOP!

That is an amazing deal to me! :)

Grab your mags and get your codes (on orange flyers that say "20% off diapers") and get on over to Diapers.com

The August codes expire 8/31/10 -- and if you want to stack the codes you'll need to do so before then!!

** UPDATE ** I went to the Dr. Office today and they still had 2 Parents mags for September -- they were fine with me swipping the 20% Cards out of them! Since they are both Sept. codes I couldn't use them both in one transaction. So I signed up for the "Subscribe & Save" 30% promo as well --- essentially saving 50% on diapers! After I get my first shipment I'll go in and cancel it. I paid $9.99 for 84 Huggies Newborn diapers shipped TWO DAY! HOORAY for diaper deals!

Mentos Gum

There are coupons online that you can get through www.coupons.com for Mentos Gum. It is a 55cents off 1 coupon. It's not advertised, but I was at Safeway yesterday and Menos Gum is BOGO free. The cost is $1.49 each. SO...it's a 50 cents moneymaker when you buy two.

25 FREE 4x6 prints at Walgreens!

Just wanted you all to know about this fabulous photo deal I found today...

it may be old news to everyone else, but I was quite happy to discover it!

Walgreens.com would not let me log into my old account for some reason even after I had requested a new password and tried using that... so I created a new account... and got 25 FREE 4x6 prints!

No special promo code needed. I uploaded some pictures ordered 25 prints and my total is $0.00 -- no tax! Plus, I'll pick them up in store so no shipping charges either!

I love great photo deals!

Why is car buying so pricey?

We just bought a new family car TODAY (well, tonight.... thank goodness for dealers who are open late!) -- and I wish wish wish there were coupons!

But I did save $$ buy researching ahead of time, knowing the blue book and fair market values and standing up for myself. I read a lot of articles over at http://www.edmunds.com/!

I was able to haggle the price down $1500 from their internet special they swore they wouldn't budge from. We got a good deal, and I am sure they made their money as well.

Anyone else have any car buying tips? Post your comments!

I am really excited! Who knows when it'll actually get built and open -- I am thinking Spring/Summer 2011!

It'll be great to have one closer to home - they have great deals on produce and clothes. And of course I am a sucker for the big box, buy in bulk mentality. Coupons can definatley save $$ but sometimes a quick run to the store is easier!
