Shopping Trip: Target and Harris Teeter, 7/31/10

Target:

A Whole Bunch of Free Stuff: 7/29/10

I must say that gift cards are pretty delightful.

I went out to run some errands yesterday armed with a coupon for a free McDonald’s smoothie, a coupon for a Free Unmentionable from Victoria’s Secret, and about $8.50 in Rite Aid gift cards. This is what I came home with (minus the smoothie, which I drank [...]

Free $30: 6/26/10

Phase One of my most recent “get paid to buy Olay products” plan is complete! Today I got these in the mail:

One is for $25, and the other is for $5. I believe I still have one more $5 gift card coming, plus a check for $20 from Olay. Rite Aid was kind enough to [...]

Shopping Trip: Target and Harris Teeter, 6/12/10

Mr. Jones got home from softball today and took some ibuprofen for his knee; as he did, he mentioned that it was the first time in a long time that he’d had to take painkillers. I realized that I too have been painkillerless for weeks. It’s almost like eating more healthfully might be … good [...]

Makin' That Money: 6/8/10

I went to Rite Aid on Sunday and bought three Olay Regenerist skin-care products. I love Olay Regenerist skin-care products. They make me feel as though it’s less obvious that I spent the better part of a decade chain-smoking Camel Lights under bright Texas sunshine. Anyway, usually we use credit-card rewards to get these, but [...]

A Wii for Free

It’s true. This Wii was free.

So was the game you see there. In fact, we only paid $71 out of pocket for all this stuff.

Shopping Trip: All Over the Place, 4/4/10

Three stores, three chances for world domination!

I’d say said domination was achieved in two of the three instances, which, as Meat Loaf once said, ain’t bad.

Sunday Roundup: Target, CVS and Harris Teeter

I made one more Triple Coupon trip with the coupons that came in today’s paper. I hit up CVS for some deals that started today, and I had to run to Target for a prescription, so I picked up a couple of other things that were cheaper there than anywhere else. Tah-dah:

After the jump, the [...]

Recent Triumphs

As mentioned, the past few weeks haven’t been the most frugal we’ve ever had at Casa Jones. Which is a good thing, because part of the reason you save money when you can is so you can spend it when you need to, and I count post-op recovery barbecue potato chips firmly in the “need” [...]

Shopping Trip: Giant, CVS and Harris Teeter, 3/14/10

OK. So my plan to stock up on soft foods before my surgery went well, in the sense that I stocked up on soft foods before my surgery, but then again it went not so well, in the sense that after surgery I was high on painkillers for days and kept demanding — sweetly! always [...]
