2nd Dillon's trip

So, it pays to call in advance and order massive amounts of an overage item. Remember to be kind and polite when checking out...I thanked the cashier and the lady behind me for their patience and had multiple associates and customers watching my total drop(I just like watching their jaws drop, hehehe). Anyways, I ordered more Playtex Handsaver Glove coupons from Ebay for about $10 for 100. I had not purchased everything I was planning to buy in the next week or so and decided that, it would be about $45 less to buy coupons on Ebay...and use them for overage. I would then end up with MUCH more product for way less money...and I could either give the extra away or sell it. So, here is what I got at Dillons(I FOUND ANOTHER 20 coupons, so I'll have to call again to order more!).

117 Playtex handsaver gloves

1 Propel(I found 1 lone coupon that hadn't been used to get FREE Propel from 3 weeks ago)

10 AMP energy drinks

2 lbs squash

2 lbs carrots

2 jumbo packs Huggies

1 Kashi pizza(Tristan said"mommy, "katshti pitza peas!.." so, I caved in)

1 $10 gift card(from a cat for buying AMP)

1 jar applesauce

1 huge jar Pace salsa

1 pack condoms..

1 12pk. double roll TP

1 bag cat food

Retail:$416( I WOULD NEVER PAY THAT!) My Total:$5.33($4.03 was tax)

The Glidden paint just came in the mail...that was free too!

Price Cutter

picked up strawberries,bananas, FREE starbucks(from Facebook), peaches(.99lb), and a

FREE Smirnoff cooler! The Smirnoff 12pk. display sign says along the lines of.."FREE COOLER WHEN YOU BUY A 12PK. SMIRNOFF ICE*....*no purchase necessary*) So, after asking if I needed to make a purchase when the sign said I didn't need to, the manager said I was right and let me have it!...never hurts to ask! after a $4 fruit rebate all of that cost $1.30!

My Dillon's trips

Today I went a Mega-sale-ing...I did NOT clear the shelves by any means and above is what I ended up with from multiple stores. I still have coupons left to use for overage, so I'll have to make another trip when those get here. Anyways here it is:..*=NOT PICTURED items

87 pairs Playtex handsaver gloves

30 bottles Kraft ranch dressing

2 bags Tyson precooked/seasoned chicken

2 boxes Tyson chicken nuggets

1 Oscar Meyer DeliFresh chicken lunchmeat

1lb. boneless Tyson chicken breast(marked down)

*8 Sobe Lifewater

*13 Smartwater

*8 Sunny Delight smoothie flavored

2 Yolpait YoPlus yogurt packs

2 FiberOne yogurt packs

2 Trix Yogurt packs

5 boxes Kellogg's cereals

5 Keebler cookies

*9 jars Gerber baby food(3rd and 2nds)

3 packages tortilla shells

1 8pk. AA Duracell batteries

*1 book stamps

*1 pack envelopes

*4 boxes Kleenex

4 Dole fruit cup packs

6 Pepperidge farm cookies

1 Daisy sour cream(large)

1 Orajel toddler toothpaste

5 various Speedstick deoderants

4 bricks Philidelphia cream cheese

2 Philly cream cheese spreads

4 bags Cheerios snack mix

1 bag Chex mix

....I PROMISE we are not living off of cookies and cereal! When the rest of my coupons come, we will be getting next weeks produce ect., but we are fine on that for now...except I forgot bananas!

I messed up at 2 stores by getting 4 items too many that were a part of the mega sale....but I still did okay. I actually have to return a pack of cookies too because they are expired...so I might get my money back on those!(wee!)

Before Sales and Coupons and rebate: $496.30 My Total after sale,qs,and rebate:$40.73!!!

+I have $1OYNO from Kleenex to use!

P.S. You may wonder...after you get more overage coupons(from the Playtex gloves and dressing) what are you going to do with 200 pairs of gloves and 30 bottles of ranch???!!! Well, I clean. My friends clean their houses...and if everyone I know doesn't want to be stocked up on disposable gloves, there is always a garage sale to be had:) The ranch will get used by friends and family...my hubbys family likes ranch with pizza and salad...or pasta salad or chicken, or garage sale;)

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...
