Deals around the blogosphere

I was out of town all weekend and then had guest into the wee hours last night.

So I frantically tried to read a few of my favorite blogs to get some deals to run on my lunch hour. I started the new job today, so I knew I would not be able to surf for deals during work hours. Well, let's just say many of my deals I had planned were a BUST today.

Here is what I had on my list, for those interested:
CVS - Off clip on, print $3 coupon, get it free
(Well, it was NOT free but if you want the refills they are $3.19, so .19 after coupon, I passed seeing as I don't have the unit)
I did get a $6 CRT off any Prevacid by scanning my card so combining that with $6 Parade coupon will get me a 14 count for .99.

Didn't read this until tonight:
CVS stores have Huggies Mega pack diapers on clearance for as cheap as $4.49
Use $3 IP or
$4/2 IP Little Movers/Little Snugglers or
$3.50/2 IP Snug and Dry

Went to Kroger, they were OUT of Sweet Baby Rays so got a raincheck.
Also, after I let, I heard the Yoplait greek yogurt would be free with this .30 IP tripled.

Went to Randalls after work hoping to get the Wheaties Fuel for free with my $2.75 in loadables and $1 IP or IP but they were $3.99 regular price, so I thought I would wait until tommorrow to see if they go on sale. I did also notice they had several Warm Delights on clearance for $1.49, so should be free or small money maker with cellfire and .50 IP here.
When I got home, I got a wonderful envelope from a GREAT couponing friend. Inside was a raincheck for Heinz 40 oz ketchup for $1 at HEB(no Limit) and 7 $1 HEB yellow coupons for Heinz ketchup!!!!! The coupons expire today so I headed out and while there, I picked up 2 more Oscar Mayer deli creations with $1 coupons and scored free HEB chips (free when you buy OM Deli Creations and yellow store coupon) and bananas. Paid .80 for all you see pictured. That made up for my bad lunch run!

Ok, so back to my list I had going:
I was going to head to Dollar General to check about the rumor of .50 Bar S hot dogs until I found out my papers didn't have the $1/2 coupons from 5-16 SS.

Didn't have time to go to Target to get more free Wishbone dressing(see my Target post from yesterday)
I am adding Shout to my list to check out when I am able to stop by (rumored to be just .22 after Target IP and manuf IP)
Listerine is supposed to be on clearance for $1.98 - $2 IP (zip 01364)= FREE

I will try to share more later, but I must get to bed! zzzzzzz

High praise for McNeil Consumer Healthcare

Remeber the recall I posted about here? Well, I finally got around to filling out the online form for my 12 bottles affected by the recall about 2 weeks ago. And today in my mailbox was 2 checks: one for $46 and one for $42!!!!!!

I just want to give two thumbs up to McNeil Health for having some excellent customer service! I will definitely be purchasing their products in the future, knowing they are concerned about the safety of my kids and that they go above and beyond in their recall efforts!

Cellfire should reset today

I am anxious to see what coupons Cellfire has in store for us today! I just checked and they have not reset yet.........perhaps they will have by the time I am eating breakfast. Just a reminder to check them.

While you are waiting, Shortcuts has added 3 new ones (at least to my account)
$1 Wheaties Fuel, $.55 Cheerios and $1 Barber chicken(for Randalls only, that makes 2 on my card :)
