Scotch 3M Command Hooks

I went to CVS for the Scotch 3M Command Metal Hooks. I couldn't find them anywhere (4 stores) so finally I had them write me a raincheck. On the raincheck I noticed that they can write in how many extra bucks you should get so I had them write that too.
6 3M Command hooks=$15
6 $2.50 off coupons=$0 plus tax!
5 Extra Bucks Back
I did buy 3 Easter Baskets though for 90% off. I am going to take them apart and use them for the treasure chest at Sterling's party. Regular price $7.99, my price $.79.

Lunch and Dinner at El Pollo Loco

I am about chickened out with KFC yesterday and El Pollo Loco today. I took Sterling for lunch and everyone for dinner. Did you get to go get your free meal?

Wonder Where I get my Info?

Check out http://moneysavingmom.com . She is fantastic and always has a new freebie going on. I also use http://grocerysmarts.com for all the grocery items. I like this because I print out a list of all the best deals so it makes my grocery shopping smoother.

Carried Away

I think I have gotten a little carried away with this whole deal shopping thing. Between Vons and Walgreens I have bought $439.07 worth of goods for $64.62. (Only a partial picture). In addition to that I have:

• a $20 rebate coming back from Unilever for my holiday ham. (Pictured)




• -a $10 coupon from Vons for rolling over once a day




• -$26 in Register Rewards from Walgreens

I don't know what I am going to spend it on now. I am thinking diapers since Soren went through SO MANY when he was sick.

Trip #3 to Vons!

This deal is too good to pass up. This time I bought:

8 Caprisun Sunrises 8 @ $1.99=15.92

2 Electrasols 2 @ 3.99=7.98

2 YoPlus Yogurts 2 @ 2.50=5.00

1 Bright Green Bleach $1.49 (Forgot to put in picture)

Total=30.39

Coupons= 8 $1 off Caprisuns, 2 $2.50 Electrasol, 2 $1.50 off Yogurts, 1 $1 off Bright Green Bleach $10 off rolling coupon

Total Out of Pocket= $5.05 Plus $10 coupon for next time! I even forgot the .50 cents off in-store coupon for the Caprisun.

Vons Trip=25 Items for $31.96 and $10 for next time

My Vons trip was all in all a success. I had to go to the counter to recieve a $10 gift certificate for my second transaction but they were nice enough about it. I did this in 2 trips to Vons because of the 1 transaction per household per day rule but the second trip was fast- I knew where everything was.

Living Well at Vons

I tried the living well promotion at Vons but ran into some difficulty. I got my first purchase OK but the second time I tried I didn't get my $10 off coupon. It was late so there wasn't a manager that could help me and I just returned everything. One of the checkers helping me read the fine print and said that you can only do one transaction per day per household. I guess I will be borrowing my husband's Vons card. I am not convinced that this promo is the best deal- Vons seems to be so expensive.
