What a dissappointing week

Seriously slim to no good deals at Wags or CVS and I think I might go into withdrawal. Yikes this might make me go buy something not on sale. The good thing is that I am out of RR at WAGS. I did go the other day and got the Got2 Be deal for BOGO $5.99. I used the -$2.50 printables that were out a bit ago. Also when I got there there was a WAGS coupon taped on it for $2 off. Little did I know that this would work twice so I profited $3 on this deal. My coupon and the sale was still good for the curling iron and I also got some .99 olives with the in ad coupons. I am waiting for any hidden or not so obvious deals. Anyone...anyone????

Target=what a debacle!

I remember the days when my couponing started when everything was so easy. Not anymore. I am guessing because so many people are taking advantage of coupons and not in a good way is why most places I go to anymore scrutinize everything. To be fair, I did grab the wrong razors at first and inadvertently gave the cashier coupons that said not for trial size and didn't realize it. Anyway I took DH and DD with me which I knew would be a mistake but we were out and so we went. Plus the razor deal was ending last night. I rushed through the store to get all of this as quickly as possible so as not to aggravate DH. He is thrilled I am saving money but still thinks it is something that is inconvenient for him to partake in. But I digress. Here is the breakdown and I did 4 different transactions to get the Gillette gift cards but the cashier would not let me use them to roll each transaction. She was really nice and very patient. I was in line for 30 minutes so I let it go.

4 Gillette Razors $7.49 ea
used 4 -$4 MQ and 1 -$4 TQ home mailer
4 Gillette Body Wash $3.49 ea
used 4 -$4 MQ
FYI-The deal was to buy one of each and get $5 GC

The Always Infinity are apparently a hidden deal this week and they are ringing up at $4.99 instead of $10.79 use the -$4 coupons to get a great deal on great pads. I only tried the 28ct or larger because that is what the coupon states it is for and this was what my store had. I did not check on the price of the 16ct but definitely scan it at the machine before you check out.

Kmart Super Doubles again!
I didn't do quite as well this time because for some stupid reason, no on seems to know why, the register would not accept my $5/$50 purchase coupon so my total would have been a little over a dollar if it worked. I let it go because a few different cashiers looked at it and couldn't figure it out and by this time the cashier had already taken about 20 coupons even thought the limit was 10. Once she figured that out she was done so I probably save more money with my doubled coupons.
