cheap hefty baggies @ Deals!

Got 12 boxes of Hefty baggies for $4 (stupid tax!) today at deals! I used 6 $1.50/2 coupons and the baggies were only a $1 a piece! Pretty decent deal. I had a 60% savings! Supposedly, some Dollar Trees are running $2/$1 on them, but not here in Nashville. :(

what i wore this week. a bow dress! (DIY) <3

Made a bow dress for our annual tacky sweater chrismakkuh party! pretty simple, just time consuming (& you
may get stuck by a pin). Basically, I took an old cotton dress and used safety pins to attach a variety of Christmas bows all over the dress. I used various sizes, colors, etc.

Safety pin from the inside so it isn't visible in the outside!

I wore magenta pink tights and multi colored sparkle shoes. I also painted my nails 4 magenta pink & the other a teal with sparkles. Matched the dress!

My earrings -- (DIY):
Used two extra small size bows and popped the dangling earring back through it. You could not buy the earring backs at the craft store and borrow some if you have some costume jewelry! Easy peasy!

COUPON ALERT! the lumene deal is back at CVS!

You can still cash in on those ECBs (which double if you have signed up for it!) -- buy $30 of Lumene products and get $10 ECBs. It's a great deal, but you need many of their $4 off coupons they have been offering on their Facebook page! Happy shopping! <3

CVS & Walgreens couponing trip. 12/3

Lets start with the CVS trip! I started with $20 in ECBs from my last trip from the double rewards on the Lumene products (see previous blog post from 12/1). Here's the breakdown of transactions --

1. 6 Lumene products (ranging from 3.99 to 6.49) -- unfortunately they were out of most of the cheap ones so I had mostly 6.49 products.
Used 6 $4 off any Lumene products from their Facebook page + my $20 ECB. Basically FREE after the next $20 in ECBs printed.

2. 1 Playtex Gentle glide tampon, 40 ct (8.49)
1 Playtex sport tampon, 16 ct (5.29)
2 Schick Hydro shave gels (3.69/ea.)
2 Right Guard total defense deodorants (2.99/ea.)
1 All Laundry detergent or Mighty Pacs (on sale, 3.99)

Used coupons:
B1G1 free gentle glide
2- $1/1 schick hydro shave gel
$3/2 Right Guard
$1/1 All Mighty Pacs

Spent about a $1.11 due to tax, but got $13 in ECBs!!! Decent night at CVS! Probably will hit up some of these deals again this week and rack up some more bucks and hopefully find the cheaper Lumene products at another location in the Nashville area!

Walgreens Trip:

Best deal ever on Kre-O Transformers! They have them Buy 2, Get 1 Free right now and in this past weeks Smart Savver they had a coupon for a free one (no purchase necessary!). We got 6 total for only the tax! Use 2 coupons and get the third free! A 100% savings! These would be great as Christmas gifts or donations or if you have kids as prizes!!

CVS couponing trip 12/1.

Last day on the lumene deal (get $10 ECBs if you spend $30)! Got several
And used a combo of $4 off coupons emailed to me by a fellow coupon friend from Lumene's Facebook page & $3 off CVS tearpad coupons. Ended up with all I got I spent $1.73. Plus that $30 ECB doubled and I can't wait to use it on the next couponing trip!

Also, check out how much I've saved just this fall by using coupons!
