Dodedoo...

Slick and Savvy is going to start posting more, if you'd like to be updated about my home/personal life, you can Facebook friend me or Twitter. I'll be starting Twitter(crazy, I know!) to update with links to deals instead of just posting on here continuously( I don't think I spelled that right...oh well!). Anyways, later today I'll update deals for Target, CVS, WAGS, Dillon's, Price Cutter, and Harter House. I've met some people and have been hearing through the grape vine that people were actually finding my blog helpful, and I think I have a personal obligation to help anyone I can, so....Slick and Savvy has not died, check back later today for more updates and my new favorite products that I've tried out and loved!

Lacking...

Okay, so I'm sick today(just for the heads up) and so are both of my kids. It made me start thinking about how much busier I'm going to be with school and wether or not keeping up a blog is worth it! I will still continue to share deals I think are note worthy...but as far as updating everything..nope.If you want to know what's up with me, join Facebook and request to be my friend:) I started this blog to be accountable for what I was spending and to make myself better at being a coupon-er. I have succeeded at that and am now ready to move on to add a new chapter to my life...college student. Like I said...I'll still update. But, you will see a change of pace in my blog...it will be more about me, and less about my deals. I will still have links to my favorite blogs though, like HIPTOSAVE and MONEYSAVINGMOM who are great about posting the latest finds. Thanks for understanding...I'm going to go get my kiddos a movie and put all of us to bed!

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!
