Great Mail Day!

Check out my great mail day!  My samples have been dwindling, probably because I haven't been requesting as many lately, or maybe there have been less available.  Either way, I love a good mail day!
I got my American Apparel zip up jacket from winning the Sobe Heads or Tails instant win game - it is super cute!  And it only says "Sobe" on the back right under the neck, in not an obvious way, so it's not like you are wearing a big ad.  I also got my FREE 12 pack coupon from My coke rewards - which I promptly took to the store, which is why you see the actual 12-pack here.  If you drink Coke products, you should definitely sign up for My Coke Rewards, why not get some free coke? 

I also got a sample of Purity Cleansing Cloths from Philosophy, and a full sized Veria Vanilla Organic Lip Balm.  Yay for freebies!

Walgreens 8/9

So, a decent week at Wags.  Sadly, my Wags didn't have the Secret Deodorant on clearance, so I wasn't able to get that money maker.  The Dial bodywash isn't really my thing, so it's going in my donation bag - but it was free and a good way to roll my RRs.

I was happy to be able to use my FREE Schick Hydro coupon and get an RR.  I got the coupon awhile back, but I was saving it for an RR deal.  I thought about holding on to it in hopes of a higher value RR, but since this is a monthly deal and my coupon expired 9/30, I decided not to risk it.  Schick sent me the coupon because I sent them a letter telling them how much I love this razor, in fact I basically just copied and pasted my review that I wrote HERE.

I'm really liking the Kotex U that I stocked up on a few months ago, so I was happy with paying .50 cents  box for them.  All around a good week for OOP, although I dropped a few RRs.

Back to Wags!

OK, so Walgreens had such a boring ad last week that I didn't even go.  I have been couponing since February, and that was the first week I didn't go to Wags since I started.  So glad to see a money making week!  I really needed to roll my one RR that I had, since it expired today.

The Visine was a good money maker - so that helped lower my OOP a bit, which I needed since I started out with only $5 RRs.  The Complete and the Alive were also money makers with the coupons, so it was a good, money making week!  Yay, hopefully Wags will continue to do what I love - pay me to shop! :)
