$0.50 Kellogg's Cereal @ Target (3/14 - 3/20)

I want to give you a quick heads up on a great cereal deal at Target that begins tomorrow (3/14). Buy 4 boxes of Kellogg's cereal priced at $2.50 each and get a $5 Target gift card.

$2.50 Kellogg's cereal x 4
-$1.50/2 MFQ HERE x 2
-$1.50/3 TQ HERE Oops! This prints as MFQ!
= $7.00 + tax

(And get back a $5 Target gift card)

That means you're paying $2.00 + tax for 4 boxes of cereal or ~$0.50 each! I'd recommend printing the manufacturer's coupons and target coupon right now, since Target coupons tend to reset on Sunday mornings.

More Free John Frieda

My $3 John Frieda coupons that I ordered on ebay arrived today, so I hit Rite Aid one more time tonight, since the John Frieda SCR is limit 3 per account!

$5.00 Luxurious Volume

$5.00 Sheer Blonde
$3.24 Brilliant Brunette
$1.49 King Size Starburst
$0.00 King Size Starburst
$1.49 King Size Starburst
$0.00 King Size Starburst
-$3/15 RAQ
-$1.10 BOGO Starburst MFQ (from facebook) x 2
-$3 John Frieda MFQ (SS 3/7) x 3
= $2.02 + tax

(And I'll get back a $5 SCR)

So this transaction was a $3 money-maker! I hit the jackpot when I found a bottle of John Frieda Brilliant Brunette on clearance. Clearance items will generally still qualify for money-off SCR's, so this one was a great find! My Rite Aid also had some John Frieda stylers on clearance, so keep your eyes out for those because they will qualify as well.

Total Spent for March: $63.52
Total Saved for March: $122.43 (66%)

There is a MFQ from P&G 2/7 (Buy Olay Pro-X, get Olay Quench Lotion Free) that would work well with this rebate. I'll keep you informed of any upcoming sales and/or deals!

$2 Huggies Coupon

I just noticed a $2 Huggies MFQ on coupons.com right now. Print two and save 'em for upcoming deals!

Monday Drugstore Deals

I went to Rite Aid on Monday and did two transactions.

$5 John Frieda Shampoo
$5 John Frieda Conditioner
$6.49 John Frieda Styler
-$3/15 RAQ
-$3 MFQ shampoo/conditioner (SS 3/7) x 2
-$2 MFQ styler (SS 3/7)
= $5.49 + tax
(And I'll get back $5 SCR)

I thought maybe the stylers would be on sale 3/$15 like the shampoo and conditioner, but they weren't. I only had 2 coupons for the shampoo and conditioner, so I had to buy a styler in order to use my $2 Q. Luckily the stylers will still qualify for the $5 SCR, so the deal still came out great! I ordered more $3 MFQ's on ebay since this $5 SCR is limit 3 per account. Hopefully they get here before the sale ends!

$9.99 Pampers jumbo
$9.99 Pampers jumbo
$13.99 Metamucil
$2.49 Pampers Wipes
-$5/20 RAQ
-$2 Pampers MFQ (P&G 2/21)
-$1.75 Pampers MFQ (home mailer)
-$3 Metamucil MFQ (P&G 3/7)
-$1 Wipes MFQ (home mailer)
= $23.71 + tax
(And get back $5 SCR and $10 gift card)

The signage at my Rite Aid was a little deceiving. There were $9.99 signs under the big Metamucils, but only the small ones were actually on sale, and they don't qualify for the $5 SCR. So I ended up buying the big one which was $13.99. Sort of a bummer, but still not a bad deal. It's like paying $8.71 + tax for 2 packs of diapers and a pack of wipes.

Go HERE to see more Rite Aid deals for the week.

It's March 10th and so far here are my spending totals for the month:
Spent: $22.92
Saved: $83.37 (78%)

But I'm about to head to Smith's, so wish me luck! Gotta stay under $100 this month!

Slavetosave's Review
I was lucky enough to review the Hana 1" professional flat iron, pink edition. I am loving this flat iron! I've only ever used a 3" flat iron before, and the 1" width of this flat iron makes it so easy to use! I can get to all the post-partum "baby hair" that's growing around my face without any trouble, and without burning myself. The flat iron has varying temperature settings, which is really nice since I have fine hair, and it comes with a silicon heat-resistant mat and carrying case. It also has rounded ceramic edges so you can create curl or shape effortlessly. Plus the pink color of this flat iron is super fun and cute!


Buy it!

Purchase the Hana 1" professional flat iron, pink edition for $119.99 (regularly $204.99).

Slavetosave Giveaway: HairCoverings.com! {closed}

Slavetosave Giveaway: HairCoverings.com! HairCoverings.com carries an adorable assortment of hair clips, headbands, pony holders, banana clips, head scarves, bandanas, and other fashion accessories. Whether you're in need of hair loss coverings, didn't feel like washing your hair today (can I get an amen!?) or you're just in the mood for some fun new accessories -- HairCoverings.com has the stuff for you!

I adore this beanie. It makes the thought of more cold weather just a little bit more bearable!

I love this wide headband. Since the wide part of the band covers your roots, it would be perfect for hiding unwashed hair on one of those days!

I think this cute little headband would go with just about every dress I own. I might have to buy this one!

Slavetosave's Review
HairCoverings sent me a wide headband and a snood to review! I have to say, I sometimes get stuck in a rut with my hair accessories. I tend to do the same thing every day and not branch out. Trying out these new accessories was a treat, and a nice variety! I especially loved the wide headband. It's very versatile, and can be worn as thin or wide as you want. Plus both accessories were of high quality and cute material.
