I have several $5RR wyb $25.. with NO EXPIRATION DATE! Came right on the flier sometime towards the end of last year. Of course I saved them! But I also wasn't RR/ECB'ing in December/January. The manger was going to manually enter them, instead had the cashier take off 2 and re-ring them as .49 and .50 each,
Total before adjustment 35.94
USED: $1RR, $1RR, $3RR, $5RR

Total OOP: 14.95
Saved: 20.99
This is an amazing deal and really made the hubby happy... something about the Florida water messing with his skin and Cortizone cream is 4.99 for a 1oz tube! To go through 1oz in 2 weeks was getting expensive!! These should last over a year or at least until the next major sale!

Victoria's Secret:
Free PINK Fragrance collection
^Super cute! 3 scents: Hope, Wish, Live

Target:
They did not have the baby monitor, pointed to the Kiosk for me to look it up to see if it was online. After several minutes the kid came over to help. He has been rude to me before b/c I ONLY shop with coupons. The monitor is ONLY available online.

They do not take competitor coupons, so I did not buy the pump I wanted... oh well, $280 they wont get from me.

Babies-R-Us:
Matt at the stollers was AWESOME and super helpful, got me my stroller down, offered to take it out front and even came back up to make sure it was carried to my car! These people are super happy and so caring! I guess that happens when you work with baby and toy retail. Been a while.

I did 3 transactions so that I could use % off coupons for each item. the REALLY sweet girl (Leanne) at the Customer Service checkout really helped me out and said she could save me another 10% if I sign up for the credit card... I NEVER spend this much... last time I did I bought a car. So I gave in. She said she would give more of a discount if I just signed up... I will show you where too.

AngelCare Monitor - 89.99
had a coupon for a $20 Gift Card if you spent $90... she couldn't adjust the price or claim tax to push it over $90, but she showed me another coupon for $10 Gift Card wyb up to 89.99. She also gave me more than the 10% discount for getting the credit card. .. I am not seeing the discount.. hmm
Total: 89.99
Tax: 5.85
OOP: 95.84
Got $10 <--- but it is not clear on the transaction... the 10% clearly was not taken off. Headed back in the AM.


Medela Breast Pump - 279.99
20% coupon - (-56.00)
10% credit card - (-22.40)
Total: 201.59
Tax: 13.11
OOP: 214.70

Expedition ELX Travel system - 199.99
20% coupon - (40.00)
10% credit card - (-16.00)
Total: 143.99
Tax: 9.36
$10 gift card
OOP: 142.35

OK Leanne is not good at math either... the 10% came off AFTER the 20% coupons... so I didn't save 30%, that would have had to come off the top. I likely saved around 25%...

TOTAL OOP: 452.89
TOTAL SAVED: 144.40

still owed 10% from the Monitor = 9.00 <-- will try to get back in the AM

PUBLIX: <--- at THIS point, do you really care what I bought? I don't
Spent: 35.08
Saved: 70.31
