Our Trip to the Mountains (March 2012)


You won't usually find personal posts on this blog so if you're reading this looking for coupons, you may want to skip it.  :)  My family visited the NC mountains last weekend and I wanted to share a little about our visit.  We visit the Blowing Rock, NC and Boone, NC area several times a year (we love it!).

For this particular trip, I purchased a discounted gift certificate for the Dan'l Boone Inn a while back....this happens to be one of my son's favorite places to eat.  I also a discounted gift certificate for Mystery Hill, which is somewhere we've wanted to visit but just never found the time to go while in the area.

Walgreens: Shopping Scenarios 3/25

Here is Wild For Wags Shopping Scenarios for 3/25. In this scenario you’ll get $29.16 in merchandise, spend $5.90 out of pocket and end with a $1.50 Register Reward.
So it’s like you are paying $4.40 for everything or 85% off. You can also think of it as paying .63 per item (and getting the (2) fillers for free).

IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THESE TRANSACTIONS
-) You can’t have more MQ than items! Blue = MQ
-) You don’t have to do these in one day, just pick up where you left off.
-) I always bring some extra fillers with me to the register, in case of an emergency!

Total = $10
(2) $3/1 Got2B Full Size Product, exp. 5/12/12 (RP 02/12/12)

Rite Aid: Weekly Deal Scenarios for the week of 3/25/12. Stock up prices for Tissues and Toliet Paper!

Thanks to I am that Lady for these scenarios!  Rite Aid has a +UP promotion for Kimberly Clark this week, Spend $40 in qualifying products and get $10 +UP reward.  In Transaction #1 I have provided you with a scenario to get toilet paper at a decent price after +UP ($4.93 for 12pk double roll, which is $0.205 per single roll) and $0.63 per box of tissues.  I am in need of paper products so this is just in time for me.  It will be a lot of out of pocket costs, however, I will be set on  TP and tissues for awhile!  I checked and my store had plenty of stock of this in the store, be sure to have them check in the back!  Transaction #2 is a mix of items that are free after coupons, including a bunch of candy filler for the Easter baskets!

Ink Garden: Customized Travel Mug only $2.00 + shipping!

It’s 8:30 AM Monday morning. You’re face-planted on the cold, Formica laminate desk in your cubicle dreaming of a world that doesn’t involve Excel spreadsheets with 86,000 entries saved on evil computers that spontaneously wipe out your hard-drive minutes before deadline. There is only one thing that’s going to get you through the drudgery of the day - it’s a steaming hot cup of joe. Like a good couponer, you avoid the temptation to go to Starbucks and you instead hit up the communal coffee pot in the office kitchen. What are you going to pour your coffee (a.k.a. “nectar of the gods”) into? A cracked Merry Christmas mug circa 1989 that pretty much guarantees that you’ll splash coffee on your favorite white work blouse? A Styrofoam cup? Come on, you know that clashes with your cute outfit and will live for eight billion years in a landfill when you toss it. Every java junkie needs her own travel mug. Ink Garden has a great offer for new customers, a High Quality Custom Travel Mug for only $2.00 + shipping. You save $11.99—with that money you could go buy enough Folgers coffee grounds for 300 cups of coffee or three coffee shop lattes if you’re feeling a little more indulgent.
Here’s how to get this deal:
