Money maker Deal at Randalls, Scrubbing Bubbles/Glade


Randalls seems to like to pay us to take Scrubbing Bubbles out of their stores; they are at it again.
There are overlapping deals right now, that when combined will net you a GREAT deal.
First, there are many items in the store you can purchase and if you buy $15 worth in one transaction, it will net you a $5 oynso catalina. The above pictured Scrubbing Bubbles and Glade candles are participating. (You will only get one of these per transaction)
Well, there is also a catalina deal that nets you a $2 oynso wyb 2 Scrubbing Bubbles (this one will print multiples in the same transaction)
Luckily the math is super easy as all these items are $2.50 each. Also, directly in front of the Scrubbing Bubbles was a blinkie for $2/2 any Scrubbing Bubbles (pictures the Extend a Clean but says ANY!). Oh, and there was a special display of the Glade candles with peelies for $2/2! How easy is that.
Well, one more thing. I forgot I had loaded a ton of Glade loadables on my Randalls card for so many different items. Well, as you should know, Randalls loadables are "generous" most times and they ALL came off!

Here is how my transaction looked
4 Scrubbing Bubbles $2.50 each = $10 - 2 $2/2 blinkies = $6
2 Glade candles $2.50 each - $2/2 peelie - $5.50 in misc EQs = -$2.50
Cost oop: $3.50
Earned $5 oynso and 2 $2 oynso
so $3.50 - $9 = $5.50 money maker!

Thanks C for the heads up! ;)

Kroger Clearance and HOT news on Double/Triple Coupons!


I have heard a few rumors that Kroger stores in Texas were now doubling and tripling unlimited coupons. WHAT!!!!! You know I couldn't sit on that information without testing it out myself.
Well, I headed out and wanted to test something that was free and would not cost me much out of pocket if the coupon didn't triple. I picked up 4 Mahatma packets of spanish rice(sorry, forgot to add in picture) @ .85 each. I used 4 .50 coupons from 8-29 RP and ALL four did in fact double(up to .85)
I don't know if this is a glitch or if this is going to be a new policy for the Kroger here, but this is definitely going to change the game!

While at Kroger, I found a great clearance sale on some games. These will go great in the gift closet for all those birthday parties my girls will get invited too. Sorry I don't remember the price on each game as the receipt just says game. One was $3.59, one was $5 and one was $6.25.
The Cars desk/chair combo was only $12.50 (from $49.99)

Get in shape with today's Groupon

This one looks like fun!  For only $6 you can take one of the following:
1 Belly dancing class,
2 Bhangra dance classes or
1 Zumba class
at The Transformation Studio in Sugar Land. 
I took a belly dancing class in college (hey, I was a wild child!) and it was loads of fun.  Of course, if you take it, beware, your husband's will want you to show them your moves, lol!

The Transformation Studio offers visitors free first sessions for each of these three classes, which they will honor in addition to your Groupon purchase if you are a first-time visitor.
Belly-dancing classes meet Tuesday at 7:30 p.m. or Saturday at 11 a.m., whereas Bhangra classes take place Tuesday at 4 p.m. and Thursday at 6 p.m. Zumba is slated to meet Monday at 6:30 p.m., Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., and Saturday at 12 p.m.—but the schedule may suffer slight adjustments per student requests, so recheck the website or call to confirm. Classes are also subject to availability; call to schedule your class.
Deal is valid for women only.
I think I want to try the Zumba class and I am excited they have work friendly hours.  My friend has been taking Zumba and she says it is so much fun you don't even realize you are working out.

HEB deal for Marshmallow Pebbles

Starting tomorrow, HEB will have the whole line of Post Pebbles cereal on sale for $1.  Go here (goes straight to printing!!!) to print a .75/1 coupon for the Marshmallow variety to get a full size box for a quarter.

Dang it!  I just looked at my ad again after receiving Shawn's comment and HEB tricked me again.  The $1 price is with in store coupon!  I am so sorry to everyone for getting your hopes up (I know I was excited)  Perhaps I need to get some much needed sleep.
Hopefully we can find a sale with these coupons. (I really wanted to try it, shhh, don't tell my kids)

Barilla pasta is also on sale for $1, so .45 for pasta with 8-29 SS (.25 if you were lucky to get the .75 insert)

Kroger and Shell gasoline team up with Fuel Discount Program


If you are a Kroger shopper that does not live near a Kroger with a fuel center, you are in luck! Kroger is partnering with Shell gas stations and the partnership is rolling out all over the US. With this partnership, you will be able to scan or enter your Kroger card number(or alternate ID number) into the pump at Shell and use your earned .10 fuel discounts.

For those unaware of the Kroger fuel program:
Kroger offers a .10 per gallon discount(up to 35 gallons) on a single fuel up. You can earn this discount in 1 of 3 ways
1. Every $100 worth of groceries purchased earns you 1 .10 discount (the $100 is PRE manufacturer coupons!)
2. For each 2 prescriptions filled (Govt paid prescriptions do not count)
3. For gift card purchases, you earn twice the value (Kroger gift cards do not count, but ex: a $25 Chilis gift card would earn you $50 toward the $100)

You can use 1 fuel discount per fill up everytime you reach the 100 points. Points earned can be used in the month earned as well as the following month. (ex: points you earn in April can be used until the end of May but expire after May)

I have seen a few online articles from August stating the roll out had hit the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I just received an email from a reader stating she was able to take advantage of this new program in HOUSTON!!!!

So, for you readers that do not have a Kroger with a gas station, here is your chance to finally reap the rewards of the fuel discount.  I would love to hear from other readers if you have success using this.  Also, does it allow for the .03 discount by just using your Kroger card? (If I find out before anyone answers, I will update this post!)

Thanks Debbie for the email (I welcome readers finds and might even start a weekly posting highlighting these- if I get these emails on a regular basis. :)
