I'm out of milk! - Kroger deals

It’s always when you run out of something that you want it the most…we have been out of milk for 3 days and I am freaking out here! The opportunity just has not come up for me to go to the grocery, but tonight, I must! There is a Mega Sale going on this week (and last) at Kroger and I am posting my Mega list.

Yum.

Taste of Home Mags free online

My grandmother renews my subscription for Taste of Home magazine each Christmas. When I first started getting the magazine it was lists and lists and pages and pages of recipes - a bit overwhelming. It has since been redesigned and it much easier to flip through and find great recipes. Well, ToH now has 26 of their magazines available for FREE online!

I found the lunch box ideas particularly cute. Someday I plan to be one of those thoughtful moms that has time to organize and make creative lunches/dinners for her family...someday. I found this website last week. I think I would need step by step instructions though. That giraffe is too cute!

Consignment Sales

There are still a few weeks left of the fall consignment sales. I made a great haul at the Little Treasures Sale a few weeks ago so I am holding out for the Highland Sale (next weekend - my favorite). But check out this previous post for sales this weekend and the first weekend of October. After that we'll be waiting until April rolls around!

Wags is my fave

I just wanted to emphasize how AWESOME Walgreens is! So far I’ve been there at least once a day (gives me something to do at lunch), I’ve made great profit and greatly increased my Register Rewards stash. I used to be a CVS girl or at least an equal opportunity drug store customer, but Walgreens is my #1. I think if CVS had items in stock past 2pm on the Sunday the ad started I would be more inclined to shop there. However, I do still have some ECBs to use before the expire and when there are super deals, I intend to go…on Sunday before 2pm.

I have had awesome luck finding and buying items this week at Wags. If they have EVERYTHING in stock, below is the perfect storm (and yes, the cashier will probably freak at the amount of RRs printing). I omitted a few items from the previous list, so check back there for a few other great deals.

Trip
2 Hershey Symphony bars (big ones) on clearance $.50 each = $1
True North Nut Snacks $3
2 Neosporin @ $3.99 = $7.98
Murine Ear (difficult to find) $6
Carefree Ultra Protection (small one) $1.99
Listerine (small one) $2.99
3 One-A Day @ $.99 = $2.97

Total: $25.93

Coupons:
$4 off Neosporin from Wags Back 2 School Coloring Book ($2 x2)
$1 off True North (check previous list for printable)
2 - $.50 off Neosporin from paper
$1 off Carefree (check previous list for printable)
$1 off Listerine (check previous list for printable)

Out of Pocket: $17.93 + tax

Register Rewards Received: $21 ($1 Hershey’s, $3 True North, $3 Neosporin, $6 Murine, $2 Carefree, $2 Listerine, $5 One-A-Day)

Total Overage: $3.07 woohoo, go buy some toilet paper or something you actually need, or heck, splurge on that as seen on TV item you’ve been eyeing…

Check out the Wags How-To for additional information on how all this Walgreens stuff works. The above items may be purchased as many times as you want HOWEVER, you can not use a register reward for item A and buy another item A, you must use it to buy item B. For example, if you have $5 in RRs for the One-A-Day, you should purchase Murine Ear. If you purchase One-A-Day again, the $5 RR WILL NOT print again. Leave comments if you have any questions!

More Restaurant Deals!

TGI Fridays
If you haven't signed up for TGI Fridays e-mail updates, do it! Although you don't need a coupon for this offer, it is nice to be one of the first to find out...They are offering $5 Jack Daniel's Burgers & Chicken Sandwiches OR $5 off any entree on the Jack Daniel's Grill. Yum. I am currently making plans to visit TGI Fridays on Monday or Tuesday of next week to get a $5 burger and KIDS EAT FREE. Talk about a cheap date! That's better than a value meal at McDonald's!

Louisville Originals
Next Wednesday at 10am (mark your calendar) Louisville Originals is releasing their quarterly batch of gift certificates.
