Rite Aid Shopping Trip

The Bambina got the gamboo this week. Like hardcore. She's had a running fever since Sunday night that finally broke this morning. Yowsers! So I shouldn't have been surprised when we were completely out of infant tylenol AND infant ibuprophen on Thursday morning. Since it was a nice day, I packed her into the wagon and we walked to Rite Aid for some more. (And it was my lucky day -- they were both BOGO this week! With long expiration dates!)

$8.29 Infant Tylenol
$0.00 Infant Tylenol
$6.29 Infant Ibuprophen
$0.00 Infant Ibuprophen
$0.69 Cadbury Cream Egg x 2
$0.69 Cadbury Chocolate Egg
$0.69 Snickers Egg x 3
$2.39 Sidewalk Chalk
$0.99 Egg Decorating Kit
-$2/2 Snickers printable
-$20 Gift of Savings Reward
= $0.10 + tax

(Saved $39.32 -- 99%) <--That makes me happy, lol! :)

I still had my Gift of Savings reward from last winter that was expiring at the end of April, so I used it this week. It was great timing for a stock-up of medicine (they don't expire until 2013) and Easter basket fillers! Although, I may or may not have eaten some of the chocolate on the walk home. Just sayin'.

Heads Up - Kroger Information Breach

I just got this email from Smith's that I thought I'd pass along...

Dear Annalisa,

Kroger wants you to know that the data base with our customers' names and email addresses has been breached by someone outside of the company. This data base contains the names and email addresses of customers who voluntarily provided their names and email addresses to Kroger. We want to assure you that the only information that was obtained was your name and email address. As a result, it is possible you may receive some spam email messages. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Kroger wants to remind you not to open emails from senders you do not know. Also, Kroger would never ask you to email personal information such as credit card numbers or social security numbers. If you receive such a request, it did not come from Kroger and should be deleted.

If you have concerns, you are welcome to call Kroger’s customer service center at 1-800-Krogers (1-800-576-4377).

Sincerely,

The Kroger Family of Stores

My Cheap Toilet Paper @ Walmart

Cheap Pampers Diapers @ Smith's

From now until April 9th, all Kroger affiliated stores (that's Smith's for us!) are having a special promo on select Pampers, Similac and Beech Nut products. Buy $25+ in one transaction and save $5 instantly.


Here are two Pampers ideas:

$8.99 Pampers Diapers, jumbo pack x 3
-$5 instant savings
-$2 MFQ (P&G 2/27) x 3 (expires 3/31!)
= $5.32 each wyb 3

$8.99 Pampers Cruisers
$8.99 Pampers Swaddlers
$8.99 Pampers Sensitive
-$5 instant savings
-$2 e-coupon Cruisers
-$2 e-coupon Swaddlers
-$2 e-coupon Sensitive
= $5.32 each wyb 3

That comes out to around $0.17 per pack for size 3 Cruisers. That's a good $0.05 per diaper cheaper than Sam's & Costco! So if you're a loyal Pampers user, this is a good deal to get in on.

There should be yellow tags around the store to help guide you towards qualifying products. I have a feeling the Similac could be a great deal as well if you have some manufacturer's coupons to pair with the sale!

I'm unsure if this deal is limited to one per store card. If you try this out, let me know how it goes!

EDIT: I didn't see any tags at my Smith's tonight, and Pampers were $9.29 instead of $8.99, but it looks like they'll be on sale starting 3/30!

Free Sample Roundup

Here are a few free samples available right now:

• Uncle Ben's Ready Rice
• Carefree Liners (these usually come with coupons!)
• Fred's Diapers
• Aveeno Haircare
• Taster's Choice

Purchase 10 Kellogg's cereals between now and 12/31/11, and submit THIS form to get a $10 prepaid Mastercard. (You must clip the UPC's from each cereal for the rebate, so don't forget to do that as you eat!)
