Catching up on deals

Blog time. This is what Claire does when she’s bored. I haven’t blogged about the deals that I got. Oh, I’ve been couponing but right now I’ve been VERY VERY lazy, I even forgot to buy newspaper last Sunday! ack! But no worries, I find the online coupons sufficient enough. I always wait for the last minute to do deals and move my fat ass like I did last night. I wasn’t planning to do some groceries but we were out of milk and eggs. And guess what, I forgot the eggs? Silly claire. I got caught up with some good deals like paying 16¢ for my sons favorite GOldfish crackers (must print more of this coupon) and hoarding B1G1 coupons for YoBaby Meals from the machine spitter (ok, I thought it was for a FREE one tub of youghurt didn’t see the fine print.)

I also got Centrum Ultra Silver Women 2 bottles for $14 from RiteAid, I could have saved more if they allowed me to use two coupons for one item (RiteAid Video Perks + manu. Q) but still it’s a good savings. Saved $9 on that. A special request from my Grandma “papalit imong lola ug centrum silver” – Tita Dit. Hmm I might be doing the deal again this time for Yiek’s lola, a hit for the oldies but ‘ll wait for them to be on sale.

..and the best deal last week was getting Toys on the cheap. Little People Discovery Airport for 50% off, my gift on Caleb’s birthday. He loves the little people, okay he throws them on the floor after getting tired of them lOL!. He loves pretending to make them sleep and climb up the stairs (someone gave us a 2nd hand little people pirates ship).

Leapfrog Tag for $9. Can you believe that $9! Original price is like $35. Of course I had to go to customer service because the register beeped but really they were nice about it. One of my nice trips at Target. I love that toy soo bongga, it has this scanner thingy that recognizes the drawings. The free Leapfrog Tag Jr book I got months ago is finally put to good use. I had fun last night while loading the audiobooks. It says “Hi caleb” “Bye Caleb” cute!

This evening I’m planning to go to Target or Sunday if I get tired to do some deals. I’m nervous, I’m planning to use a lot of coupons and I’m not in the mood to argue. My Target store is a hit and miss, they are okay with using 4-5 coupons but I don’t want to ran into a headache-inducing trouble again.

I would have loved to go tomorrow as is my days are booked. I have to go to the dollar store to look for Sesame Street items and go to TJMaxx to slowly buy pasalubong. I hate that they close on SUNDAY, I can’t go on weekdays, most deals from other stores i.e. Shoprite, CVS, RITEAId, Target have a Saturday deadline so I prioritize those leaving me no time to go there. I HATE HATE it! It’s been weeks since I promised myself to go to the Dollar Store and TJ maxx but something always gets in the way. My county has this BLUE Law, which means that only groceries/perishable stores are allowed to open.

Busy, busy day tomorrow starting with renewing our Driver’s license in the morning, a trip to Dollar Store and TJ Maxx during Caleb’s naptime and if time permits do the Cherrios deal at Stop & Shop. Then off to WillowBrook mall we go to claim my $10 gift card (they just emailed me out of the blue that they are giving one) to which I’m planning use to buy Original Cheesecake from Cheesecake factory to bring to our little gathering. Shop a little and then go to a friend’s house to have dinner and watch the pacquiao game.
