Hubbie said he had some folks where he works that had questions about my abbreviations I use in the posts. So to help out with that I have added a What it means? section to my ABOUT page. Go there and you will see it on the right hand side. Please let me know if you see any others that I left off the list and I will update it ASAP!
Also remember my LINKS page has links to the forums I use and some webpages and blogs that have great explanations on everything from basic couponing how-to's to how to play the drugstore games to weekly deals lists for the different stores!!!

I am just lazy!
Summer has really done a number on me! SOOOOO lazy. I have one receipt from 7/15 and then a few from 7/18 that I will update now.
Just a Note: HT is doing Super Double Coupons starting Wed the 22nd thru the 28th so get all those coupons up to 1.99 out and check the boards to see what deals are showing up!
Another Note: Kroger is doing the Mega 10 event again this week and 2 liter Coke products are included. You can end up with 10 2 liters for 4.90 after the discount!!! There are a ton of other items included in the sale so check out the ad for things that might work for you and go here to see a nice coupon matchup.
Ok on with the update:
Food Lion 7/15-
*Produce FLIP came out this week so I made a quick run to grab some cheap produce. ALSO, according to the boards alot of stores over ordered on the cherries that were 1.99 a pound sale price this week so they have reduced them to .99 a pound. Since they are normally 4.99 a pound you can end up with 2 pounds for free with the FLIP if you are so inclined. This sale ends Tuesday!

A little HT doubles today
I know I haven't really posted about the HT Doubles Event that ends tomorrow. I really was just not that excited. With our limited budget there just wasn't alot of *great* deals for me this time. But that is because I do have a huge stockpile to pull from and am concentrating on just getting the items I need to fill in.
I actually have stopped buying the Sunday papers for the most part and started just buying the coupons I need/want from the coupon clipping sites or Ebay. At $2 a pop I can't justify buying the paper for just a few coupons I want right now and then if I want to get multiples it gets insane. I do check the preview each week and if I see a great week of coupons coming out I will buy it then.
Anyway, I did do a quick trip today so I could get lots of free Kraft salad dressing! Since HT has decided to enforce the 20 Q's per day limit by actually blocking the VIC cards after 20, I had to go today since I have so dang many of them to use up. I will go again tomorrow as well.
Also made a quick trip to Kroger and grabbed some drinks and manager markdowns.
All of these totals are going on July's totals as I would normally have just waited until PayDay tomorrow.
HT-2 stores today, 3 transactions and total of 19 doubling coupons plus 3 free item coupons.
As I said before the deals seem to be thin for me right now based on our needs and budget.
TIP: The registers are apparently coded now to no longer allow more than 2 coupons on the B2G3 deals, the cashier was going to use them but the register kicked it out, she also asked if they were BOGO so that leads me to believe that the registers are coded for that as well now.
9 8oz Kraft Dressing 1.99 - $1/1 Insert Q = FREE
5 Pop Secret B2G3 2.99 each - .50/1 Insert Q x 2= 3.98 for 5 or .80 each
3 Tidy Cat 20lb Litter BOGO = 2.95 each - $1/1 Insert Q = .95 each
2 Jimmy Dean Sausage BOGO 1.49 - $1/1 Insert Q x 2= FREE
2 Wholly Guacamole 1.99 - $1/1 Insert Q x 2= FREE
2 Wholly Salsa 3.69 - Buy Guac Get Salsa Free Insert Q x 2= FREE

I actually have stopped buying the Sunday papers for the most part and started just buying the coupons I need/want from the coupon clipping sites or Ebay. At $2 a pop I can't justify buying the paper for just a few coupons I want right now and then if I want to get multiples it gets insane. I do check the preview each week and if I see a great week of coupons coming out I will buy it then.
Anyway, I did do a quick trip today so I could get lots of free Kraft salad dressing! Since HT has decided to enforce the 20 Q's per day limit by actually blocking the VIC cards after 20, I had to go today since I have so dang many of them to use up. I will go again tomorrow as well.
Also made a quick trip to Kroger and grabbed some drinks and manager markdowns.
All of these totals are going on July's totals as I would normally have just waited until PayDay tomorrow.
HT-2 stores today, 3 transactions and total of 19 doubling coupons plus 3 free item coupons.
As I said before the deals seem to be thin for me right now based on our needs and budget.
TIP: The registers are apparently coded now to no longer allow more than 2 coupons on the B2G3 deals, the cashier was going to use them but the register kicked it out, she also asked if they were BOGO so that leads me to believe that the registers are coded for that as well now.
9 8oz Kraft Dressing 1.99 - $1/1 Insert Q = FREE
5 Pop Secret B2G3 2.99 each - .50/1 Insert Q x 2= 3.98 for 5 or .80 each
3 Tidy Cat 20lb Litter BOGO = 2.95 each - $1/1 Insert Q = .95 each
2 Jimmy Dean Sausage BOGO 1.49 - $1/1 Insert Q x 2= FREE
2 Wholly Guacamole 1.99 - $1/1 Insert Q x 2= FREE
2 Wholly Salsa 3.69 - Buy Guac Get Salsa Free Insert Q x 2= FREE

So lazy!!!!
OMG we are being so lazy and it makes me forget to post about what little shopping I am doing!!! I had a quick trip last Sunday to Walgreens to use up my last $10 RR but that has been it!
I am only able to do this because of our huge stockpile. I am really going to be in maintenance only mode. And now it seems the stores are changing their policies/enforcing the current ones to the point that the deals are kinda slim right now. I am not complaining as I have said all along that it seemed really silly for the stores to literally pay me to shop. And there are still good deals to be found it is just that we are so stocked up on most stuff that I can be a little more choosy on the deals I am going to do.
Also received my $25 Target GC from this deal and my $8 Orajel Rebate.
Anyway, here is the Walgreens trip so I can add it to my totals.
1 Gallon Milk 3.19
6 Hefty 1 Zip storage bags (3 quart and 3 gallon) BOGO with in store ad - $1/1 Insert Q and Blinkies x 6
1 St Ives Body Wash 2.99 receive 3.00 RR
-$10 RR

In Summer Mode
Since the shopping will be slim I might share some of my summertime activities with the Little One while she is home this summer.
Today we made Bubble Stuff. She loves to make bubbles but I am not gonna pay all summer long for that stuff!
There are tons of recipes online, some use glycerin, some use Karo syrup. Just do a google search and you will be amazed.
The recipe I used is:
1 cup Water
2 Tbs Dawn Dishwashing Liquid
1 Tbs Karo Syrup
Mixed it in a 2ltr bottle that we decorated and am letting it sit overnight. I hope it works cus it is sure cheaper to do it that way!

HT and Free ARBY'S Today!
I am LOVING the Wednesday Free Arby's promo!!! This week it was a free Chicken Club Sandwich (normally 4.27) with a drink purchase (regular drink 1.59).
I took my daughter with me and was able to get 2 free sandwiches PLUS a free Beef and Cheddar for turning in the receipt from my previous trip.
PLUS got another survey recipt which will get me another free Beef and Cheddar. PLUS Hubbie stopped on his way home and got one more free Chicken Club and ANOTHER receipt with the survey option!
In the end for 3 drinks, 4 free sandwiches and receipts that will get me another 2 free sandwiches:
Total-19.81
Saved- 14.81
Spent- 5.00
It doesn't get much cheaper than that! And the Chicken Club's were GOOD!
I also stopped by my favorite local produce stand (Briley's on 14th St, Open 9-6 W-F and 9-2 on Saturday's) that is now open for the season and grabbed a few tomatoes at 1.50/lb. That total was 2.25.
Finally I went to HT to use up 2 more of my $10 RR and grab some staples.
I have one more trip planned for Lowe's on Sunday and then pretty much no more shopping for June. At least not on a big scale. Some produce here and there but that will pretty much be it. Being broke has definitely put some limits on shopping!
The good thing is that I will be able to let go of some of that *need to find the good deals feeling* and begin to slow down and relax and enjoy the summer with my daughter!
