It seems like all I have to talk about this week is what I have been buying. Hopefully it hasn't been too borning for everyone. At least I am keeping up with the budget this month!

I'm starting to wonder if I will actually end up with extra at the end of the month. I spent a lot this past week on milk and cereal which has upped my total. I wasn't expecting that. I have enough milk in the fridge for the rest of the month and 6 more coupons for next month. That's almost enough milk to last through the end of May. If they do the twin pack deal again next month then I'll be able to double my milk into 12 gallons. When you look at it that way it seems worth it to have gotten so much cereal/milk this week.

I had forgotten to add at the begining of the month that I had four free milk coupons from doing the Kellogg's deal last month. This is where the free milk Cat comes in.

Pudding
Just a budget update tonight. I took Noah to Cub this even to use the $1.25/3 pudding coupons from this weekend. He had a great time putting all the pudding into the cart. I let him bag it up afterward by himself, he thought it was great.
The large boxes of pudding are also $.50 this week. Makes them a better value then the small boxes, but the only regular flavors are chocolate and vanilla. They also had special ones like Oreo, vanilla with chocolate chips and other things like that.

April Budget
I'm starting the April budget. Hopefully I'll be able to stay on track and actually finish it this month.
I'm thinking I might actually be able to end up under budget this month. My pantry is full to the gills and I am thinking it is time to start using up some of the things that are in there. I'm kind of hoping there aren't that many good sales this month cause I don't have much space to put them.
Also this month I am going to track and post how much I spend on extra coupons. I don't usually order many extras, but I thought it might be good to keep track of how much money is going into that and might be interesting for all of you to see when and where to get extra coupons.

Clothes Mentor
Kind of random and probably just for the ladies, but I got an ad from Clothes Mentor yesterday say that they are celebrating their first birthday and everyone gets 30% off all regular price items (except designer hand bags).
For those of you who don't know, Clothes Mentor is a woman's version of Once Upon A Child. You bring in your used clothes and accessories, and they will pay you cash on the spot for the items they want. It's located off of 394/494 in Minnetonka right between OUAC and TRU.
Their prices seem pretty reasonable and they have a nice selection of mid to high end clothing. If your thinking about checking them out, pack up some old clothes and bring them in when you go. They are a little picky, but do pay pretty well. I've gotten around $8 for pants and skirts and a little less for tops.
They didn't have a specific website, but here is the address for the location having the sale.

Overage on Post cereal at Cub
Cub is offering a Cat for buy 5 Post cereal (over 10oz) get $5 OYNO. Post Trail Mix Crunch is on sale for $2.50 this week. There is a $2/1 IP here. If you use 5 coupons your total will be $2.50 and you will get a $5 OYNO back. Your able to print at least 3 coupons per computer, but some people are reporting that they have been able to get 4.
I haven't tried it yet so I have no idea if the cereal is any good, but I figure if they will pay me $2.50/5 I can just bring it to the food shelf. Might be something to consider if you don't really want the cereal, but won't mind an extra $2.50

Grace Elizabeth
So it's been a little while since I've posted. As many of you know my family has been expecting baby girl Gudim April 4.
I went in for my regular OB about a week and a half ago and again measured much smaller then I should be. After an Ultrasound it was determined that baby's fluid level was too low and I needed to be induced sooner rather then later. We went in last Tuesday morning and Grace Elizabeth Gudim was born Tuesday afternoon.
We came home Thursday afternoon and have spent the week getting adjusted to having another person in the family.
Grace is doing great. She was born at 5lbs, 5oz and dropped to 4lbs, 12oz by the time we came home. At her check up today she was back up to 5lbs, 4.8oz. Her doctor was quite impressed that she gained 1/2 a lb in such a sort time.
I'm probably going to be taking a break from posting for the next week or two. If there is something superb I'll try to get on and post.

Old Navy coupons
Old Navy has a coupon give away going on each week on their site. I just found out about it this afternoon, so I don't have a lot of details yet, but wanted to give everyone a heads up.
It seems like they are offering some great coupons online through their weekly ad site. They are hidden in the site and you need to scroll over them then click to see what the coupon is for.
The offers range from
$75/$100 purchase -yes that is posted correctly
$50/$100
20% off
15% off
10% off
5% off
Once you find a coupon you will be able to print it from your computer and use it in store. There is a very limited # of $75/$100. I think it might be 1000.
I'm not sure if you find and print one coupon if you will be allowed to keep looking for a better coupon. Someone had said it was a limit of one coupon, but it wasn't clear if it was one of each type or one total per computer.
The new coupons reset this evening sometime, 3-12-09. I guess last week they reset around 7:00pm eastern time.
This is the link right here. When I clicked on it to get the link it said they are updating so it might be sooner then I though. Happy hunting. Hope you find a great coupon!!

Hope some of you have the cheese coupons and can find the tearpads. It makes for a great deal. I'm sad to say that I had a ton of cheese coupons, but used them all up on Sunday so I'll be missing out on this deal.

Huggies IPs have reset
Basically the title says it all. The Huggies $3/1 and $5/1 have reset. If you printed them last week you should be able to print them again. Also try printing at coupons.com and also at couponbug.com. I was able to print a second set there even though I was maxed out at coupons.com.
There is a change in the wording on the new set of coupons. Instead of Gentle Care or Natural Fit "product" it now says "diaper." This means that the coupons are ONLY valid on the diapers now. I know that it's been nice to get the wipes with the $5 coupons, but make sure you watch which set of coupons you are using if you plan on getting more wipes. I know I will have to try and keep them separate so that I don't use the ones valid on the wipe on diapers when I finally find some at WG. I want to save those and get more wipes with them at Target.
Also, just an FYI; I did try the small tub of wipes last night at Target. They were $2.39? or something like that. I was wondering if we would be allowed overage on them. The coupon did beep, but it was K1'd so everything went fine. Personally, I'm going to need lots of wipes so I don't plan on wasting the $5 IPs on little tubs, but it is nice to know if you are looking for some overage that it will probably work. Just make sure to get the wipe bags or tubs labled "Gentle Care" so that they match the coupon.

Baby items
I'm stocking up on things like diapers and wipes for baby. I know when I started the blog I was including most of the H&B items into the $85 grocery budget, but for now I've decided to keep these separate. I haven't been doing CVS or WG for months and that is were most of the free H&B items come from.
I do want to track how much I end up spending on baby though, and I also thought it might give some of you good ideas on cheap baby items in case I forget to highlight what I find in another post.
This is what I ended up with last week. Most/all the items from WG were purchased in order to create an overage in RR for the diaper deal this week. I wanted to build up some free money to use for the diapers this week.

Here is where things get strange because for some reason I my gift card was deducted for two transactions although I only bought one lotion. Although my OOP was only $1.37 I lost another $1.37 along the way so it's like I paid 2.74 and received $2 RR. I just realized this and although it's a small difference, I kind of feel cheated because I worked hard to build up my overage.

In the end I still have $5.39 on one gift card and $14.21 on the other for a total of $19.60. I also have an one $8, 2 $3.50, and 7? $2 RR. It's either 7-8 I just can't remember right now. I know I have just over/under $50 between the gift cards and the RR.
So my total spent on gift cards was $13.52, plus the mysterious $1.37 deduction for a total of $14.89. If I have $29 in RR what means I am up $14.11 overall.
I admit it did take a lot of time and energy, but I only stopped at WG what were on the way to there places I was going so it didn't use extra gas and the shopping part of the process didn't really take all that long.
I do want to track how much I end up spending on baby though, and I also thought it might give some of you good ideas on cheap baby items in case I forget to highlight what I find in another post.
This is what I ended up with last week. Most/all the items from WG were purchased in order to create an overage in RR for the diaper deal this week. I wanted to build up some free money to use for the diapers this week.

Budget update
I figured that I should get this down before the week starts and I run out of energy and end up throwing out all the reciepts from this weekend because they are clogging up my purse.
I didn't make it out much last week so not really a whole lot to track.

Mott's IP to match up with the Target IP
Just wanted post that I found a IP for Mott's products. Right now Target have a printable coupon for $1/1 any 4 or 6pk applesauce. The IP should be for $.55/1. Price checking the applesauce was $1.67 at Shakopee and $1.87 in Chaska. Using both coupons it would range from $.12 to $.32 per 6pk.

Walgreens
Alright, I think I have Walgreens figured out for this week. Who knew making money with coupons could get so complicated!
I'm just going to post my proposed rounds. I haven't been out yet so the prices are what I'm finding on the internet. Also I'm hoping to snag a few more copies of coupons so I'm not sure if I will be able to complete all the rounds. This is just going to be a best case scenario.
Some of you might have more copies of coupons then me and so less, but at lest this will give you an idea of what is possible and you can customize it to the coupons you have and the items you want to buy, or are able to find in store.
Round #1
4 Sambucal $11.99, -$4IP, -$10.00 ESQ (in WG book)=4/$8.04 overage
8 Dove soap $.99 with in ad coupon=8/$7.92
Peeps $.39 with in ad coupon (need as filler)
Total $.27 + $3.66 sales tax=$3.93 OOP if sales tax is calculated on the pre-coupon total.
Receive $10 RR
Round #2
Vaseline lotion 10oz $2.69, -$1.50/1 MF=1/1.19
Blink eye drops $7.99, -$2/1MF=1/5.99

For those loosing track I should now have
2 $8.00 RR for Blink
4 $3.50 RR for Colgate
3 $2.00 RR for Vaseline
My total OOP this far should be $10.56 or less depending on tax. This means so far a profit of $25.44
At this point I am out of MF coupons. My plan is to roll the rest of the RR back into Dove as follows to maximize my profit.
Round #9,#10

My plan is to take the RR from this week and roll them into next week. I might be able to come up with a few more copies of coupons, but for now this is what I can depend on. I'm not really sure if I will be able to come up with enough product in store to make this work, but we will see. We all know there are lots of WG around the area so hopefully I'll be able to do it.

Random Walgreens shopping list
I'm trying to get a handle of what is going on at Walgreens. I really want to do the B $25 Get $10 Huggies deal next week, but I don't want to spend a lot OOP just to end up with $100 in RR in the end.
My goal is to find things this week that would give me an overage in RR to use on next week. There are a couple of things here and there that I am finding, but my head is so stuffy that I'm having a hard time keeping it straight. I thought maybe if I put it all up here that I would be able to sort it out, but also others would be able to use some of the deals that I find.

Keep the $3.50 and $2 RR for diapers next week, or anything else you might need. After both rounds you would end spending $8.14 OOP before taxes and have $5.50 in RR.
After the first round you would be able to roll them back and forth with almost no OOP before tax and grow your $3.50 and $2 RRs for other purchases.

It looks like the trial size dove deodorant might work for the B8G$10RR deal. This deal is going on all month long so if it works then you can take your $10RR from the Huggies deal and roll it into the Dove deal next week and go back and forth. Still waiting for a few more people to try this, but I'll update when I know more about it. If it works this would be great. It would really help in keeping the OOP down for the diaper deal.
I'm sure there is more going on the next two weeks, but it is getting late so I'll have to try and find them tomorrow.

On the bottom of the Sunday Trib there is an ad for Super Target. One of the items listed if London Broil for $1.99 per lb. It sounds like most packages are aright around 1 lb.
There is a new Target coupon (TC) for $2 per package of Sutton & Dodge steak or roast. Pairing the coupon with the sale means lots of free or cheap meat.
Jason checked the Chaska ST this evening. They were completley out and had taken down the sign. We are headed to Savage tonight and will report back on the amount of stock. Make sure to get a raincheck if your store if is out.
As a side note, Target had a deal like this a few years ago on chuck steak. We got a bunch and froze it. They tend to do alright if you want to freeze them in the store packaging, but found that you could generally fit two pieces side by side in a one gallon zip bag and it would take up a lot less space in the freezer. Just a tip for those of you planning on getting LOTS.

GREAT Huggies IP coupons
This weekend I came across some great Huggies IP. The first is for $5/1 Huggies Gentle Care and the second is $3/1 Huggies Natural fit diapers. Each can be printed twice per computer.
There seem to be a lot of different links out there for these coupons, but so far I have only been able to print 2 total of each coupon no matter how many links I find.
The $5 coupon if good for any Gentle Care item. The diapers in this style only go up to size 2, but they also make wipes, rash cream, and changing pads
For the $3 coupon the diaper sizes are 3 and up.
Here are the links for you all. If anyone doesn't want them, I'll gladly take them off your hands, hint hint ;)

March Budget
I really want to try and start the month out right and keep up to date with the budget this month. I'm sure it will depend on if "baby" comes this month, but at least I am off to a good start.
I ended last month about $7 over budget, but still had a $10 OYNO at Cub. Slightly over budget, but not too bad being until baby comes and gets a little bigger I am planning in my head that we won't really be able to stick to the $85 each month. I've been doing pretty good, but it is a little impractical when I have to depend on someone to go shopping with me each time. It can be a lot to ask of people.
I have an awful cold and needed some honey to put in my tea so I went out to Target yesterday morning. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Ortega taco seasoning was $.47. I knew I has $1/2 coupons so I brought those along. Here is what I ended up with:
24oz Honey $4.59
14 Ortega taco seasoning $.47=$6.58
2 Ortega taco sauce $1.27=$2.54
Used 8 $1/2 Ortega MF
Total $5.71
Total for the month $5.71
Total left to spend $79.29 +$10 OYNO at Cub
