WAGS today Roll-ONNNNN!

EDIT:
For my lovely stine sorry I left this out. What I mean by rolling a transaction is this:
When you buy the Softsoap for example a coupon will print out for a free Softsoap. Buy another Softsoap and use the free coupon(you will have to pay tax hence the .28) This was a glitch in the system and they fixed it but everyonce in a while cool stuff like this happens!

I will do a post on abbreviations and the ins and outs of CVS and Wags ASAP!




What an exciting trip! I read on some blogs that the Soft soap deal was rolling SO I had to check it out! The Soft soap is priced at $3.99 and when you buy one a RR for a Free one comes out. As it turns out you can then use this coupon in a separate transaction to get another free, pay tax and then another free RR will print. Do this as many times as your cashier will allow. I went to see Nanci again(FAV WAGS cashier) and she let me do it 6 times! We could have done more but I used all my change and didn't want to put .28 on my debit card. Here's the lowdown:

Glucose Meter $14.99 (in case you are wondering I donate these)

Note: The cashier tried to give me a hard time about this saying it was coupon fraud and I should have to at least pay tax. It completely went through with no problem and I asked her why and also reminded her that it is a food item and there should be no tax anyway. She insisted on calling her manager and he said to go ahead after she told him that "it is a food item there shouldn't be tax" and then I was free to go. Hmmpfh! She handed me back my receipt and the coupons and boy was I irritated but I gave them back to her. She said "oh thanks, sorry about that" I just don't get why these cashiers make such a big deal out of nothing (literally). Anyway free POPCORN BALLS! Oh how me and my DD love them.

Bzz Agent-Diet Mountain Dew

Time for a new Bzz Agent Blog! Yesterday I received my Mountain Dew Bzz Agent samples and coupons! I think it is just hilarious that they actually sent me to cans of DMD all wrapped up in bubble wrap. Don't ask me why I just think it's funny. Well if you have ever liked Mountain Dew and didn't want the calories and super sweetness then this is for you. It was so good and I didn't have to worry about calories and it had just enough caffiene to give me the boost I needed. They sent me some $1.00 off coupons as well as a free 12 pack coupon. Too bad we only have 8 or 18 packs here in Florida,stinks but still free soda! Wahoo! Can you tell the caffiene has kicked in? If anyone wants a $1.00 off coupon let me know, otherwise I will pass them out in church and to close friends here. Don't forget I still have $3 off Afrin Sea Mist too. I am not sure what else I can say about this product other than it has a citrus taste and is just delicious. Now if I can just find a restaurant that will serve it. Try it out it is worth your while. I give it 5 out of 5 stars and would definitly purchase it.

I have to give a shout out to my favorite WAGS cashier. This lady Nanci takes such good care of me every time I go in there and never gives me a hard time about my coupons.She told me about these toothpastes as they were on clearance and I haven't been able to find them anywhere but she had them behind her counter and let me buy them. They were .95 and printed out $1.00 RR each so I had to do three seperate transactions but with my coupons profited .93 each! I heart Nanci!

1 Crest Pro Health Night Toothpaste .95
-$1 Crest coupon from previous Sunday coupons
she adjusted the coupon down to .95
Total .07 (tax) got back $1 RR for .93 profit x3!!!!! YAY NANCI!
Total savings:$11.37

WAGS Final TRANS:
By the way I did not do all these transactions in one store and if I needed to I would get back in line so as not to hold everyone up each time. I had some time on my hands yesterday and went to three stores but they were all close by (we have a LOT of WAGS here!) This transaction was also with Nanci and she gave me a ton of really cool samples! Thanks Nanci!

Mailbox Monday-Bzz Agent Product

Here is what i have gotten in the mail by way of samples and coupons etc. The popcorn above is Salt and Lime flavor and I didn't realize that when I ordered it so I will probably donate it to the church. Also with it were some coupons one for Hunts which I wish I gotten one day sooner because of all the tomato sauce I just bought at Wags. Oh well.

The second picture(sorry its sideways) is this new sample site I am using. The company is called Bzz Agent and they send you selected emails depending on your preferences to try new products. They then send you the product along with coupons to hand out to family and friends. This first product I tried was for Afrin Pure Sea nasal rinse. The purpose of this product is to clean out your nasal passages(I know gross huh?) from allergens, pollutants, dirt, and even some colds. It is supposed to help you breathe better and more easily as well as keep you healthy. It can be used up to four times a day which I am not so sure about. I tried it and while I seem to feel clearer I sneeze every once in a while to get out any extra stuff! Coincidence? Maybe. It is fairly easy to use but my recommendation would be to definitely do it in the shower. You are literally squirting it in your nose and do not want to inhale or swallow it. I found it to be very messy trying to do it over the sink. It is made with pure salt water so if you do swallow it won't hurt you but I would compare it to swallowing or inhaling ocean water...yuck! Luckily this hasn't happened to me! I do like the product however and will continue to use it more times each day. It retails for around $14 and is slated to go on sale at CVS in two weeks with Extra Care Bucks. The coupons I have are for $3 off and I think the sale price is $9.99 with $3 ECB back so you would end up paying $3.99 for it! Not bad! Or even better you could check out:


http://www.bzzagent.com/


and be a part of your own product testing! Next up is Diet Mountain Dew for me! If you would like one of my coupons let me know and I will send out to the first 5 entries!
