Rite Aid Shopping Trip

Yesterday I ran to Rite Aid to buy some Palmolive dish soap for the Try Me Free offer that came in last week's coupon inserts (SS 8/30). I also picked up a few Reese's candybars for free using the $0.55 MFQ (SS 8/23) since they are on sale for $0.50 each this week!

$3.99 Palmolive
$0.50 Reese's
$0.50 Reese's
$0.50 Reese's
$0.50 Reese's
-$1 MFQ Palmolive (from mailer)
-$0.55 MFQ Reese's (SS 8/23)
-$0.55 MFQ Reese's (SS 8/23)
-$0.55 MFQ Reese's (SS 8/23)
-$0.55 MFQ Reese's (SS 8/23)
= $2.79 + tax
(Saved $3.20)

And I'll get back a $2.99 rebate for the Palmolive. Note that the max rebate amount for the Palmolive Try Me Free offer is $2.99, so you might want to buy it at Walmart or Target where it will be a cheaper regular price. You can also use the $0.75 MFQ that came in the insert next to the offer (SS 8/30), and you'll still get the full price back up to $2.99.

I ordered 40 more of the $0.55 Reese's MFQ last week on ebay (for pennies each), because I knew a sale would come to make them free. I'm going to use them all up at Rite Aid this week and have some great full-size candybars to hand out on Halloween!

Albertson's Shopping Trip

I went by Albertson's yesterday to pick up a few sale items. I used my free Cascade Rinse manufacturer's coupons from the latest Home Made Simple booklet (they expire 9/30, so use 'em up!) as well as two free chocolate coupons and a $5 Catalina I had that was going to expire.

$3.71 Cascade Rinse
$3.71 Cascade Rinse

$2.50 Sara Lee Bagels
$0.69 Twix candybar
$0.69 Twix candybar
$0.39 Albertson's burrito x 5
$6.41 El Monterrey Enchiladas

-$3.71 MFQ Cascade

-$3.71 MFQ Cascade
-$0.69 MFQ Candybar
-$0.69 MFQ Candybar
-$5 Catalina
= $9.56 + tax
(Saved $22.28)

I could have done a little better, but the El Monterrey Enchiladas were a result of me shopping right after work while I was hungry, ha ha. But in my defense, they were on a price cut! :)

Essential Swimwear Review & Giveaway! {ended}

Slavetosave Baby Shower Bash giveaway #1:
Essential Swimwear!

You can also purchase cute, modest Bathing Suits at Swimwear For All!

The creator of Utah-based Essential Swimwear, Brittney, says she became thoroughly discouraged every season as she searched for the perfect swimsuit, and decided that it didn't exist. She was frustrated with expensive prices, wrong fits and the hassle of searching online for hours. Having some sewing experience, the thought came to mind, "Why don't I make my own swimsuit?"

The task didn't turn out to be as easy as she thought when finding cute fabric and perfect fits seemed impossible. But after a few months of searching and a lot of trial and error, she came up with several different patterns that were flattering, comfortable and stylish.

"I was really excited to wear my swimsuits and found that people were constantly asking where I got them. I wanted to share the swimsuits with people who had gone through the same discouragements as me. Thus essential swimwear was born."

Brittney started selling womens swimsuits in 2008 and received a very positive response. For the 2009 season, she has expanded the line to include baby and girl swimsuits.

The Bottom Line
Essential Swimwear specializes in modest, flattering, comfortable, affordable and stylish swimwear. This season features six different womens tankini tops, four swimsuit bottoms, a swim skirt and a maternity top. The 2010 line will be expanding to include even more designs and products!

Slavetosave's Review
Did I mention that Brittney does custom swimwear fittings? A few weeks ago after outgrowing my regular swimsuit, I called Brittney. She did a custom fitting for me, and even adjusted the bust dimensions in a few places to fit my ever-expanding pregnant self...and voila! I now have a gorgeous, comfortable, and perfectly-fitting maternity swimsuit!

Buy it!
Purchase an Essential Swimwear top ($30), bottom ($15) and swim-skirt ($20) in your choice of fabric.

You can also purchase cute, modest Bathing Suits at Swimwear For All!

Win it!
Essential Swimwear has generously offered one lucky winner their choice of swim top, bottom and skirt -- a $65 value! Additionally, if the winner is local, they can also get a custom fitting with Brittney!
