A Buck-O-Five, Now that's what I call a deal!

Today was my best deal day ever at Bloom! I am still doing the Happy Dance, so if you feel the ground moving it's probably me still dancing!



I got all this stuff after taxes! $1.05



(6) JollyTime Popcorn
(10) Hot Pockets
(2) Glade Air Fresheners
(2) Scott Flushable Wipes
(1) Box of Cheerios


Have I said lately that I love coupons and this is quickly becoming an addiction!

I also had another good shopping day at Target using my coupons! Saving your coupons and waiting for a good sale is the way to go! The glade candles are also pictured here.

(4) J&J Buddy soap: FREE

(1) Skippy Peanut Butter: .60

(3) Keebler Cookies: .50 each

(2) Tide Trial Size: FREE

(1) Ponds Face Towelettes: FREE

I also got two of the big bags of Willie Wonka candy for Halloween and used (2) $2 coupons making them $2.79 a bag. After I got home and looked at my receipt I realized that the cashier somehow shorted me on two of the coupons I had for the other two bags of candy. I also wanted to add that if you have coupons ready to expire and they do not have a size qualification that most of time you can use them on trial size products, making them Free!!

Glade Candle Deal

I've been reading online at several websites about this awesome glad deal at Target, so I thought I would get in on the deal at Target. The promotion was if you buy 5 glade Holiday items you receive a $5 gift card from Target. And of course I had coupons for these candles and refills!

(5) Candles @ $2.50
Used (5) $1.50 coupon on each candle.

(5) Refills @ $2.99
Used (5) coupons to get a free refill when you buy a candle.

I got (2) gift cards and used one of them on this deal!

My total : $1.54 PLUS a $5 Target gift card!!

How much Reynolds wrap does one family need?

That's the question my husband has asked me on several occasions, but when you can get it for .14 cents a roll, why not stock up. Foil is one of the things I HATE to run out of! And I have 5 more coupons that expire on Oct. 11, and I will be bringing home 5 more rolls! I know my Sister is shaking her head at this, but Sis when you need some foil, call me!!

Here is my latest bargains:

8 Hot pockets, 2 New York Garlic toast, 8 Reynolds wrap, 1 big jar of Hellman's Mayo, and 2 Clorox bleach.

Total Cost: $41.78 Total I paid:$4.58

Sharing the Knowledge!

I am behind at putting up photos and my savings amounts. I went to my Sisters 45 mins away to get her started at couponing. She really racked up on some deals! Her Food Lion had Pillsbury Grands frozen biscuits BOGO free @ $2.99 and each bag had a coupon $1 off two, making them $1.99 for 2 bags. So when I got home I went to my Food Lion and they were not on sale here in Greenville! Ugh! I love those biscuits!!

Nothing like these triples! Go Bloom! Go Me!

What can I say, I am addicted to this. I am going to make this post short and sweet. I got the 3 bottles of Snuggle FREE at Food Lion. The 4 Pillsbury crescent rolls were FREE from Publix.

Here is my list: Lysol cleaners, 6 Progresso soups, 4 Campbells chick noodle soup, 6 CB microwave meals, 3 2pk Minute rice, 2 OM Deli Creations, 2 Clorox wipes, 1 Toll House Chocolate chip cookie dough, 2 bags of Grands Frozen biscuits, and 2 3pk of Dial Soap.

Total Cost:

Total I Paid: $18.70

That's a Crime!

I had my husband stop and get me a couple news papers this morning. I finished breakfast for the kids and opened up my newspapers to check out the coupons.......and nothing.......not one coupon booklet in either paper. I got myself up and got dressed and took those papers back to the gas station. None of their papers had coupons or sale ads. I got my money back and headed to Ingles to check out their stash of papers. Much to my surprise all their papers were in tact and had all the coupons! Go me!

So today I shopped until I dropped and I spent less than $50 including the sale at Food Lion. Now you see why I am in love with coupons!!

Triples At Bloom Today

Bloom rocks is all I can say! My husband says I don't have to worry about working again as long as I keep saving this kind of money with coupons!

Today I got 2 gallons of Clorox bleach, 2 small bottles of Frenchs mustard, 4 boxes of Hot Pockets, 2 Deli Creations, 2 pks of Country Crock stick butter, 3 Betty Crocker deserts, and 3 pouches of mashed potatoes, and a large spray bottle of Lysol.

Total Cost: $37.78 Total I Paid: $6.60

Next stop.....

My next stop was Publix, this was my first time couponing at Publix, and I gotta say I loved it! And I'm sure it will only get better once I get this couponing thing down to a science. They were out of a lot of the things I had coupons for, so I will check back with them later in the week. Check this out!

I got 3 2l of Pepsi, 5 Green Giant frozen broccoli with cheese and rice, 4 Pillsbury Cinn Roll, and a huge bottle of Lysol.

Freaky Friday Coupon Shopping

First place I went today was the Food Lion 3 day sale. I was able to get 2 (12pk) rolls of toilet paper for $4.99, 5 Edy's Chocolate Ice Cream for $1.99 each, a good deal considering this is the only kind my family really likes, 4 Snuggle fabric softers for $2 bucks each after using $1.00 coupon on each, and 4 boxes of Toaster Strudels for $1 each after using my $1 off coupons. I didn't take pictures of these items, I was in a hurry to get couponing! :)
