I've got to take that mirror out of the box and look at it -- it may or may not be a medicine cabinet. I have no idea what I am going to do with it. I just thought it was really neat looking.... and it was $4.xx -- then I figure the overage from the other things covered a couple more dollars.
Oh, on my Off! that was a steal -- the $1.50/2 coupons did not come off right. They attempted to take off eighty some cents which I think was the price of one. I had to go to Customer Service to buy it because it wasn't ringing up 75% off and the cashier (who was great with my other coupons) couldn't/wouldn't fix it. Then the CS gal couldn't figure out what to do with the coupon but she called someone and they did it. The $1.3x was mostly sales tax.
Got some produce and couple loaves for the MP French Bread. I won't be eating it but hubby and daughter love it. I got Jalapenos to stuff (yep, they are low carb and yum yum yum
Did ok at Walgreens. We should be set for winter flus and colds. I have 2 bottles and 4 boxes of NyQuil and 4 boxes of Alka Seltzer Flu stuff. Not to mention the 9 bottles of Dulcolax.
Did fine with the diet. We kind of got busy shopping and didn't eat all day, finally had food around 8. I went to Wendy's and got a $0.99 Jr. Double (or something like that -- it's not the 1/2 lb. double stack, it's smaller), threw away the bun and ate the meat. At Subway they have salads -- turn any sub into a salad, so I did roast beef. Since I had only had 1 carb all day, I got some onion, cukes, and olives in it and had them use mayo (0 carbs) for my dressing with Parmesan cheese on top. Not a bad deal for $5. After I ate the meat, I ate some salad and I have most of it left, I'm eating it now. The hardest part was looking at sweet onion dressing at Subway and getting mayo. Man, I love that stuff.
My son called so in the midst of typing this I talked to him for an hour. So, I am still in the night shirt and blanky. I really need to get dressed and go get free kitty litter.... or garage spill absorber as we like to call it.

Here's My Out the Door
9 Dulcolax
3 Colgate
4 Alka Seltzer
6 NyQuil
6 highlighters -- filler @ $0.10
1 Sharpie -- filler @ $0.10
6 gallons Water
$2 Dog Toy -- filler
$2 Card Holder -- spending my last $5 RR
3 Aluminum Foil --spending my last $5 RR
2 Single cans of Arizona Tea (I needed to spend another .80 or .90 on that lst $5 RR. They were 2/$1 and we were thirsty!
$16.28 total out of pocket.
$8.81 was tax.
I should have been $2 less but I missed it when one RR didn't print, I got it made up but then just spent it. I also start with no RR and spend the last ones on whatever before I leave otherwise they will expire before I get back. Obviously, somewhere along the line, I deviated since I have 6 NyQuil. Basically, Dulcolax for overage to buy cold med with RR and coupons.
Oh and I added the water -- some of the Dulcolax has coupons on it for free water up to $2 wyb it. I bought 2 of the 1 gallon $1 jugs. the coupon only scans off $1 but she adjusted it. Next time I would probably buy the 6 pack bottles of the $1.99 1/2 gallons for ease.

I got lots of crap but its still in the car because..well im sick and didnt want to carry it inside. I will try to post everything later. Hope everyones having a great day
Thought she might be able to use that to her advantage to buy diapers, etc. Instead she practically threw fit in the store telling me how I was advising her of how to scam or defraud the system. I've never been on public assistance before (always just over the threshold) but I couldn't back pedal fast enough to get her to believe I had no idea that it might not be kosher to take advantage of the loophole.
She said in KS at least it is not even legal to buy eligible and non-eligible items in the same transaction OR to use ANY Q's on the eligible items.
I can kind of understand the state not allowing the mixing of eligible & non-eligible in one transaction but it blows my mind that they are refusing to allow the person to spend the EBT $$ wisely by stretching it out with Q's.

Wal-Mart:
Glade Tough Odor Solutions Spray 9.7 oz. Refreshing Citrus scent clearanced to $1 - $1 (08-22 SS) (08-29 RP) = Free. Smells really nice, but I love citrus.
Glade Sense & Spray (only 1 scent, the one that was $6.49) is down to $5.04. I think it is because of new packaging, so it's a $.96 mm w/ -$3 MQ & -$3 TQ
Bath stuff, bronze tp holder and bronze towel ring, were down to $8.xx, so overage with $10 TQ
Best deal (thanks to HDs): 12-month Xbox Live membership for $19.99 (well, $19.25 incl. tax with TM discount)
I bought my kids each a backpack today, I have a few of the workbooks from one-spot's 50% off, and a few other things from BTS. I am going to save them for our way down to Port Canaveral for the cruise. It'll give them something to do.

I am not saying the person was purposely abusing or planned to. I was just saying that if the recipient did decide to try and do this all the time they may want to be careful in the "just in case" kinda way.
I don't care where or how people use their coupons and money. That's their business and I would never try to butt in and tell them otherwise.
I do think it is awesome that the people who do use EBT want to find a way to stretch that money even more.
The NyQuil liquid cough rang up the wrong price, so watch that. I nearly walked away with the two bottles because that's all they had.... when I remembered that the capsules are included.
Good Lord woman, what did you do? Get up at the butt crack of dawn and go on litter mission? I haven't been yet. I am inhaling coffee while wearing a night shirt, blanky, and laptop... and I plan to stay that way for a while.

Ugh, and there is a horrible shelf-clearer here. I read on another board yesterday that she was going at MIDNIGHT to get cat litter - and mind you she'll buy hundreds of something if it's cheap enough. I refused to go at midnight....but this is another reason I have to be there early. I end up at Walgreens right when they open a lot of Sundays because she will take everything on the shelf. Once they wouldn't let her, she called corp. and corp. told the store they had to let her buy as much as she wanted

If you know ahead of time what you are going to want, you might try asking the manager to order it for you. I have heard that other Walgreens shoppers say that has worked well for them.
I've had good luck having HyVee get me stuff too, but it hasn't been in advance of these types of "Hot Deals". If you know soon enough, I'll bet they would though -- especially where you are, if one says no, ask another. If I can't get as many as I want and there is no limit, I get a raincheck, then they order them for me.
