Resigning to posting...

Hey all, I am going to take a break from posting all the sales at Wags and CVS since there are soooo many blogs that do it more religiously and for a living. So, check these blogs out, they are my favs too. I'll still post when there's a super good deal, but not as much with the lists. Enjoy couponing this week, it looks like there are some good deals all over! I got some cheapies at Meijer this past week, so hopefully there will be more.

$1 Subs at Jimmy Johns!!

You can get $1 subs at Jimmy Johns today until 3pm (I believe this is only for the C-U area) for customer appreciation. It's only one per customer and the lines are super long, BUT they move super fast! So, don't be let down when you see the line. Thanks Caro for the tip, it's pays to work for Jimmy =)

Money Maker on lens cleansing wipes at CVS

I am going to try this deal today, so we'll see if it works and if any of the CVSs around here carry this. But, it's a hidden deal, so it's not a guarantee that the EBCs will print. Here's the deal: the StyleScience lens cleaning tissues that are .99 are working for the buy 2 sunglasses, get 10 EBCs. Buy 2 StyleScience lens cleaning tissues for 0.99 each and the $10 ecbs print! The deal is limit 1.

People have found them in the eye care section, sunglasses section, reading glasses section by the pharmacy, and in the trial/travel section.

So, this is a $8 money maker and if you already have ECBs to use, even better! Hope it works for you and me too!

Scott Freebie and Day 2 of Potty Training


Walmart has a pretty nice freebie on Scott toliet paper and flushable wipes. You can a roll and 10 flushable wipes in the sample, go and get it! Go get it here and click on Get Your Sample Pack. You can always use more toliet paper, especially when you're potty training =)
P.S. Today Sammy sucessfully went peepee in the potty, but we are still working on getting the poop in there....did I mention I despise potty training, sooooo disgusting! Question: How do you stop your son from touching his weewee, sorry that may have been TMI?

Potty Training Day 1

This has very little to do with couponing besides the fact that I want to save $$ and not have to buy diapers for my 2 year old son. So, I started potty training today and Sammy came screaming at me that there was a banana on the floor. I usually would disregard it, but I thought something was weird, so I went over to take a look and low and behold there was something that was shaped like a banana, but was brown and stinky on the carpet...you can only guess what it was, YUCK! Please tell me that this gets better and is worth it, all you veteran moms out there.
