STAPLES/CVS TRIP AND IDEAS

It's the middle of July, which means the coupon year is at it's best! Back-to-school sales are starting to promt stores to offer FREE or nearly FREE school supplies and other cheap snack items to entice you to buy all of your supplies in one spot. I DO recommend getting your years worth of copy paper in the next month or so and all of your office type supplies. Do not be fooled by BOGO sales this time of year...office supplies should be FREE.Period. So, that being said...

Staples is the place to go this week!

HOT Grocery deals this week!

Sorry for not posting Target deals already!!!!! I did go Sunday before church to do the ice cream deal with my 5 lonely Breyer's coupons(MAN! I wish I had gotten more of those, not that we need more ice cream!)...check all of the detail at HIPTOSAVE.COM. I went today and they still had ice cream, but I took the last MiracleWhip(light, squeeze in 18oz.)...they were out of cheap lunchmeat/cheese...which is okay, because it wasn't a great deal for me anyways. However, if you are a MASSIVE chips and salsa person like my hubby, you'll want to run to Target!
Buy 2 bags Archer Farm chips(ALL LARGE VARITIES are included) get a FREE salsa!
The grand total -2 $1/1 Archer farm printables= $2.66 for the 3 items....I bought 6 bags and 3 salsa...but now that I think about it, I might need to go do this a few more times, especially since I spend $3-$4 sometimes on Tostidos, and Ben and I actually like the ArcherFarms brand.

ALL Small and Mighty

I recently had the oppurtunity to try All Small and Mighty thanks to MomSelect and it has to be my favorite laundry detergent. With two little ones 2 and under, I prefer All Small and Mighty in Stainlifter or Free and Clear. Here are some benefits of these two versions(other than them smelling great!)

*It takes up less space than other detergents because of the 3x concentrated formula

*The stainlifting works more effectively(at least with my various at home tests) than Tide or Arm and Hammer liquid detergents.

*All Free and Clear is great for people with sensitive skin(like babies!...and cost a lot less than Dreft!). My friend has exzema and this is the only detergent she can use. #1 Dermatologist recommended.
