Aqua Socks at Wal-mart

 A ton of clearance ones for $3.  I am not sure what their original price was, but $3 is a great price for shoes that are for running around at the beach in.

Lovely patriotic shirts, were $5, but now a steal at $1.  You know you need a kitten in a basket tshirt.

TS3 Operation

Our Walmart has it back in stock!
Toy Story 3 Operation for $5, use the $3 off from the 4-10 Playsaver, making it $2!

The Easter Bunny was going to bring it to Connor, but forgot it on the counter and the little guy got it early.

Easter Picture

Free Easter Picture at Walmart! April 16 and 17 from 10 am to 2 pm. In the past, the bunny has been by the photo department or by the garden center.

Here is what one looks like from a few years ago:
ALSO
Walmart is sold out of the Buzz Light Year Operation game. But, Target has them, for $19.97. LOL.

Walmart Clothes

Rack of Boys clothes, prices starting at $1 for turtle necks.
Wrangler jeans still available for $4 a piece. Husky or Slim sizes also available. I bought a pair for Connor a few weeks ago, and they are holding up nicely. They have adjustable waist bands, and the color is lasting. Con calls them his "comfy jeans".
I bought these two items, a Dickies brand thermal shirt with beanie hat and a Dickies brand hooded sweatshirt, with a splash of purple in the hood. $3 each, originally $14 a piece. They are really cute, and seem to be good quality.

There were also men's and women's clearance clothes available starting at about $3. I am still on a clothing "diet" and didn't look at the women's section, but I am sure there are bargains to be had!

Walmart Clothes and MORE

Kari told me about this yesterday, and I said "Have I shared my spreadsheet? I really have no need to buy clothes until he's in kindergarten". So I checked my list again, and I was in need of PJs. So I checked out the clearance section of boys clothes at Walmart. I picked up two pairs of PJs for $4 each, originally $12. I also picked up a pair of jeans. Con has serious holes in all his 4's now, and I didn't want to buy any more of that size. But these were also $4 Wranglers, marked down from $12. And Con will need jeans for all the upcoming 4-wheeler rides this summer. For those of you with skinny boys, they have slim ones too, adjustable waist bands!

There were a lot of clothes available, 3 piece track suits, lined hoodies, PJs, thermal shirts and jeans, all for $4. I would have snapped a picture, but BB was left in the car.

I also picked up the window insulating kit. I bought the same one last fall, it was enough to do 5 windows and has some weather striping as well. It was $9, but now they are marked down to $3. It worked so well this winter, I know I'll be doing it again next year.

Couponin' by Tina

Couponing Craziness!!

I have been super-couponing lately. And I love it!! Let me share with you some of my deals:

Target

• Huggies diapers: on sale for $8.50 each, minus $1.50 Target coupon, minus $2 manufacturer's coupon = $5 each
• Up&Up baby wash: on sale for $1, minus $.50 Target coup = $.50 final price, PLUS the wash had a $.75 off coupon for Up&Up wipes, which I needed, so it was pretty much FREE plus another $.25 off the wipes
• Johnson's Buddies bars of soap for kids: $.97 each, minus $1 manufacturer's coupon = FREE
• Connect 4 game: marked down to $10.09, minus $4 Hasbro coupon, minus $3 Target coupon = $3.09 final price (a birthday present for Luke!)
• Kid's Crest toothpaste: on sale for $1.49, minus $1 Target coupon, minus $.75 manufacturer's coupon = FREE and then some (they gave me the overage, which isn't a common occurrence)

Walgreens

• Colgate Sensitive toothpaste: on sale for $3.99, minus $1 manufacturer's coup = I paid $2.99 + tax, BUT I got a "Register Reward" for $4 off my next purchase, which I immediately used in my next transaction!
• SpiderMan toothbrush: normally $2.99, on clearance for $.75 - bought it for Luke's Easter basket figuring that the $1 coup I used on the Colgate made it pretty much free
• Reese's Dark PB Cups: on sale for $.49 - I tried to use a $.75 off coup (hoping for overage), but the cashier said I couldn't get it for free, but that he'd give it to me for $.01 (weird) BUT he gave me back my manufacturer's coupon, which I promptly took to WalMart (see below) = $.01 for the candy bar

WalMart

• Reese's Dark PB Cups: $.55, minus aforementioned $.75 coupon (adjusted down to $.55) = FREE
• Hungy, Hungry Hippos travel sized game: $5.24, minus $4 Hasbro coupon = $1.24 (Luke's Easter basket!)
• Colgate Whitening: $1, minus $1 coupon = FREE
• Reach Floss: $.97, less $1 coupon = FREE, plus $.03 overage
• Suave antiperspirant: $.97, less $.50 coupon = $.49

Wowza!!! And I have some more great couponing stories to share!!

Miley Cyrus

How cute? The butterfly wraps all the way around the side. $1, Wal-mart, on a clearance rack. My sister liked it so much, she had me go back and get her one as well. Silly side note, my brother-in-law wears a ton of Hurley brand shirts. They have a lot of black and white graphic designs on them. Connor kept asking if this shirt was for Uncle Aaron. Hahaha.

It is Miley Cyrus brand.....but says nothing about her on it anywhere. I do hate supporting her though. Makes me glad I only have a son, and no daughters! She isn't exactly what I would call role-model material. Stepping down from the soap box...

Wal-mart Deals

I am just lovin' all the Wal-mart deals I have been finding. It's all the way across town for me, so I don't get out there often, but I will be trying for more with these deals.

• Activia 4-Pack: $2, $1 coupon 1-10S, $1 final
• Yoplait Yo-Plus 4 pack: $2, $1 coupon 1-3GM, $1 final
• Campbells 4 pack chicken noodle: $2, 40 cents 1-3 S2, $1.60 final (I had two coupons, but only 1 would go through, and I am sick and tired, and didn't fight with the woman, and $2 for 4 cans of soup is a good deal anyway, so YMMV)
• Day old bread: $3 marked down to $1.80
• Wanchai Ferry: $6 (it's nearly $9 at Hy-vee!!), $1.50 1-17S, $4.50
• Mater's Tall Tales: $6.97 (no deals, no coupons, just sick Connor wanting a new book, so much for the no-more-buying-connor-things-when-he-is-with-me)

Wal-mart Deals

According to the flyer - these are good from January 31 to Feburary 6th, but they were valid today as well.

• DiGriono Pizza, nomally around $5, sale $3.97, $1 off 1-24S, $2.97
• Farmrich Appetizers, normally $6, sale $4.98, 75 cents of 12-6S, $4.23

• Johnsonville Brats, $3 normally, $1 off 2 in 1-17S, $2
• Wanchai Ferry meals, $6, $1.50 coupon, $4.50 - this was not a sale price, just a good deal for my family, we like our cheap and cheerful Chinese.

The flyer says the prices aren't suppose to be good till January 31st, so YMMV.
