I have a decent non-food stockpile. I think it's pretty good anyway....
You can't see the details, but it includes: 2 bottles of lotion, 1 bottle of body wash, 4 cans of shave gel, 12 packs of Cottonelle wipes, 2 nail clippers, 3 boxes of bandaids, 3 packs of Shout Wipes, 12 tubes of toothpaste, a 2pk of toothbrushes, 3 bottles of mouthwash, 2 bottles of contact solution, 4 packs of razors, 4 Old spice deodorant, 1 Secret deodorant, Johnson & Johnson bath stuff, package of Goody Rubberbands, a shelf of toilet paper, and on the bottom is 1-12pk of purple Cottonelle & 2- 9pks of the blue Cottonelle. On the top shelf (not pictured) is a couple packs of pads/tampons.
i'm hoping that i can start on my food pile this week/weekend. with Safeway pasta being $0.79ea & doubles coming out on Sunday for Albertsons....i should be able to stock up on Hamburger Helper, Totino's Pizza, Pizza Rolls, Ice Cream & cereal.
This morning, I attempted to "jump start" my Albertsons trips. By "jump start," i mean, you have to start with some money out of pocket, but once you start & keep rolling over your catalina's (coupons you get back when you check out), you can get a decent amount of stuff for little out of pocket expense.
So this morning, my plan was to hit up Albertsons & buy the following:
8 - Totino Party Pizza's - $1.25ea
2 - Boxes of Cocoa Puffs - $1.88ea
(a total of $13.76)
Then I had: 2 - $1.00 off 4 Totino Pizza's
2 - $0.75 off 1 box of Cocoa Puffs
Well....I wasn't paying attention. AGAIN. I bought the wrong Cocoa Puffs. UGH! It should've checked out like this: Pay $10.26 out of pocket, get $5.00 catalina to use on my next trip.
But instead, I messed up & paid $16-something & didn't get my catalina. GRRRRRRRR!!
However tonight I feel like I redeemed myself by getting the following at QFC:
4 - Degree Deodorant - $1.99ea
(a total of $7.96)
I had: 4 - $1.00 off 1 Degree Deodorant
It was $3.96 for all 4 & then a $5.00 catalina printed up. Making it a $1.04 money maker. I think this is the second money maker transaction i've had. I actually ended up picking up a gallon of milk, a small bottle of pepsi & candy too.
I have plans to "re-jump start" the Albertsons shopping. And i'm hoping to score great things at Fred Meyer this weekend with their Friends & Family pass. They're offering the following:
Extra 20% off Apparel, Shoes, Cosmetics & Accessories
Extra 15% off Home, School Supplies, Toys, etc
Extra 10% off Electronics
Extra 10% off Nutrition
Extra 10% off Private Selection brand foods
Extra 20% off Jewelry
I haven't sat down with their ad yet to see what things I can get, but i need to find out if i can stack their bonus coupons on top of this. Also need to see what I can rack up at Walgreens to get my Register Rewards to use there too!! :)
Happy couponing!!
