I got about 30 ham steaks for free at 3 different Targets. Using the $2 coupon I stocked the freezer for about 15 meals for completely FREE.
Here's the rest of my Target purchases. I did a Glade deal at each store and also picked up a few toys with some great coupons from the manufacturers. (It pays to write notes of complaint or compliment.) The RayoVac's are from the $1 section and there is a $1 off coupon from their website. I paid with gift cards from the Glade deal and .19 out of pocket.
This was a quick trip to Publix. Using the college inn coupons from the paper and the store coupon publix paid me to take the college inn. The toys were covered by the $1 off any toy under $29.99 store coupon, the potatoes were BOGO with .40 mq and the Bayer was free with store q and mq. I ended up paying about $7 for the whole lot.
Someone sent me a PetSmart coupon and I went to Petco and used it. We had a $5 off for the Science Diet treats, there was $1 off peelie on the crunchy treats. The rest of the stuff was on sale. I ended up paying about $8 for everything and Belle's stocking will now be stuffed.
Shawn and I each made a purchase using the free Lip stuff with any purchase coupon and bought some clearance kid's stuff. Total at Bath and Body Works less than $3.
It was a good shopping day. Sorry it's taken so long to get this posted, but we've been busy doing Christmas stuff.

Today I got a kid free shopping run and so I hit 3 stores almost peacefully. At Kohl's I got a necklace and a pair of earrings that were on clearance and used a $5 off coupon for signing up for sales alerts on their website. Total was $.21

Then headed to Kmart for a failed attempt at a good shopping trip. I found lots of what I wanted but had a horrible horrible cashier and she didn't scan any of the coupons for the right items and was a witch so I ended up only getting some cards for 0 out of pocket expense.


Last stop was at Target for some Glade and FREE Ham steaks.
The Beggin Stips were $2.24 with a $2 printable coupon on their website. The glade deal I have talked about before this time I got a flameless candle and my bogo coupon for the oil refills took off the price of the flameless candle. The 2 bigger packages of meat had $3 off coupons on them and they need to be used or frozen right away. If you go here you can print out $1 off fresh broccoli coupons and $2 off Archer Farms Ham. With those coupons all the ham steaks were free and so was the small bag of broccoli. I will be hitting them up for more ham steaks since they freeze nicely and are flat so easy to store in the freezer. My total was $12.xx but that included a $2 drink and a $5 Lego stocking stuffer for the little guy.

I added a poll to see where everyone is from so I can tailor my grocery deals to where my readers live. If you select other please leave a comment on here as to where you are from. If there are a few people from your area then I will start posting a weekly update on the grocery deals in your area.

Arby's has a friends and family promotion running for a FREE regular Roast Beef Sandwich with any purchase. Go here to print your coupon then head to Arby's and buy yourself a drink or fries and enjoy your cheap lunch.

Shawn and I had a blast shopping yesterday. We took Dave to work and then headed out to CVS were we picked up 2 Free after ECB's Complete contact solution and a couple of drinks. I came out ahead on ECB's and used alittle on a giftcard we got free.

Next stop was Kmart to hit up the double coupons again.

Then we headed to Old Time Pottery and got a couple of sets of cookie bags for the Christmas cookies we'll be making in a couple of weeks. They have the best prices on gift bags, gift boxes, wrapping paper, and cards so if you have one nearby I recommend visiting. Warning though they are huge places so it may take awhile for first timers. I spent less than $2.50 on a 6 pk of cookie tray bags and a 30 pk of cello loot bags.

Next was USA Baby. I signed up a month or so ago on Emomrewards.com and got a $20 gift certificate to USA Baby, we finally got out there to use it yesterday.

Everything was in the 80% off corner and now I'll have a few baby gifts for the gift closet just in case. I spent $3.43 there. Not too bad considering regular price for each blanket was $18.

Across the street to Target. Not a whole lot exciting there.
The Airwick's were on sale $4.95 and there were $4 peelies on them. The 2 games I had a raincheck for making them $4 each and I had $5 peelie coupons for them so they were free. The glade has tons of BOGO coupons and $2 off coupons out and are still giving back a $5 giftcard when you buy 4. I also bought some animal crackers that didn't make it and 2 bras on clearance for 75% off. Spent $7.79 on a GC $6.21 in cash and got back $5 GC.

Then we were off to the mall hit the Old Navy first. My grandma had bought me 2 great shirts when she was down visiting but the first time I wore 1 of them the sequins started on raveling so I returned them for store credit (which gets mailed). I went and got these 5 shirts and 2 pairs of clearance flip flops for Shawn and got back .15


Then as a reward for being such a good boy all morning we went to the Build a Bear store and Shawn picked out this guy.

In one of my free magazines (Good Housekeeping I think) I got a $5 off a $10 or more bear. So we left there for $5.33 and a very happy boy who has named his new friend Teddy. Not to creative but he's only 4.

We spent the rest of the day playing at the Magic Kingdom until Dave was done work. We even waited in line almost an hour to go see Tinkerbell. Only because she's new and we don't already have her autograph and that's the shortest I've seen the line since she started. The plus side was it was a little chilly out and we were inside the whole time.

J. Carrell Originals is having an Apron Giveaway, so head over there and check it out.

I had a great trip at Kmart today. Unfortunately I was still sick on Sunday so I couldn't hit the sale right away and get everything that I had coupons for, but I still did pretty well. I'm not sure exactly what the cashier did but I ended up only spending $4.59. Don't forget to sign up for a $5 coupon on the Kmart website. It's good off a $50 purchase, I used mine last and it actually took off some of the tax.
