Note: Usually I wait until I've got the circular in my hand before writing deals, but this week's deals were written based off a short-ad preview because the hubby, the baby and I are taking a little vacay for a few days. (Yay!) So make sure you double check your ad and verify the deals before you head out to buy.

50% Off Cowabunga Bay

Today's Screamin' Coupon deal is a full day pass to Cowabunga Bay waterpark for $12 (regularly $24). Sweet!

(And you'll get a $5 credit to your account if this is your first purchase.)

Smith's Shopping Trip

I stopped by Smith's this morning to pick up my regular weekly groceries plus get in on some of the great mega deals this week!

I won't give you the whole rundown on what I bought, because you can see most of these deals on the Smith's post for the week. The only deals I got in on that weren't listed were:

• Smart Ones (part of Mega promo, plus I had some $0.50 mailer coupons)
• Healthy Balance Juice (I had a BOGO and a free MFQ)
• Tostitos (part of the Mega promo plus I had a $1 smiths Q)
• Hamburger Helper (part of Mega promo, plus I had a MFQ and a smith's Q)

Before coupons my total was over $112, and after coupons my total was $41.40 + tax.

Then I got back a $3 and a $3.50 catalina (for Nature Valley and Betty Crocker fruit snacks), which brings my total down to effectively $34.90, and my percent savings down to 68%. Wahoo!
