Have I ever told you...

About the time I had to strip color off of my hair? Go get a cookie,,, I'll wait.....When I was pregnant I was afraid to dye my hair.... I read in a book that it could be harmfu(obviously written by a man)...so I bought some organic hair dye made from vegetable roots or dog snot or some other such earthie goo. It turned my hair PURPLE! Since 'turnip' wasn't the look I was going for I called my hair chick and told her what I had done. After she cleaned the sweet tea off her phone receiver where she spewed it from laughing so hard, she told me to go buy some color strip/correcting concoction from Sally's Beauty Supply. It was like $749 or something outrageous like that but hey, it worked and I didn't look like a Tele-Tubby any more.

New Wal-Mart coupon Policy

Okay peeps! It looks like Wal-Mart has stepped up the game and you no longer have to wear a stripped shirt and green pants in order to redeem a coupon!! Woohoo!! No, really, it's much better than that. From what I'm reading, it appears that we will be able to use register rewards and Catalina's that print from other stores....I'm sure it will take a while to get all of the stores trained in this. But if we are all friendly and take a printed copy of THEIR coupon policy with us, it shouldn't take long.
Go HERE to view and print!

I hope to have my Wag's scenarios up tomorrow night. Let me know if any of this helps...if not, I'll stop.
Thanks!!

Back again! Excuses, excuses and sales at Walgreen's!

Yes, people. I'm back again. I'm sorry that I am such a sporadic blog poster person....but...I can't seem to help it. I post, I don't post, and then, as you you can see, I post again!
Facebook has been the main reason that I have not posted. I tend to leave quick one lined blurbs there and it requires little thought I my part....which is a good thing for me after homeschooling the girls and keeping up with daily life by 4 or 5 p.m.each day my brain is pretty much fried. That smell of burnt microwave popcorn would be my brain cells sizzling.
While fb may be the means of my communicating blurbs of needless info, it can also be a quagmire of garbage that takes hours to wade through...there is a fine line between "I should do a status update about that" and "I should talk to a therapist about that". All that to say, I've not been spending my time wisely people.
I'm going to try to do better. Here, I am going to post about some sales at Walgreens that are taking place starting tomorrow. This is meant to help my new coupon peeps that I have been helping recently.
Here is a listing of the things that Wags has on sale this week. Look over the blog and ck out monthly sales as well as the weeks sales items. Get any printables you can to match up with the sale items.
As requested, I am including my scenarios for the week.
#1 Applied Nutrition Total Body Defense
2 Motrin IB 20 ct @3.00 each
use $6/2 coupon for Motrin
use $10 rr I had from previous sale
pay only tax oop(out of pocket)
Get back $10 rr and $3 rr

#2 1 Baby Magic Lotion or wash
use $3 rr from transaction #1

Super Poligrip $1.99
use Colgate $1/1 mfg (q)coupon from Wags Diabetes and You

In the end, I'll have $25 worth of register rewards left over to use towards other purchase. Since Walgreens carries such a wide variety of products these can be used on a lot of different items, or save them for next weeks sale. Happy shopping!
