I can't wait to try these, as I am one who can not swallow large pills. This takes me out of taking most multivitamins because they are always so large.

Walgreen's Friends and Family 15% off Warning to Watch For
I just wanted to do a post and give a head ups on using the Friends and Family 15% off coupon in combination with register rewards shopping. If you haven't gotten yours yet, visit the Walgreens Facebook page to print it.
First of all, the 15% off coupon has to be used at the photo or cosmetics register only. And, you have to give it to the cashier before they ring anything up.
Secondly.....if you are buying the items that are buy a certain $ amount to get register rewards, keep in mind the 15% off....and make sure that with the 15% off you are still hitting the amount you need to spend to get the RR's.
I went through the line first of all with my $11 + of Degree, Suave etc products to get a $3 RR. At the end I tried to give the cashier the 15% off coupon. That is when I realized I couldn't use it then as it was too late. (I did get 1 Dove hairspray, 1- Degree deoderant, 1- Q-Tips and 1 Vaseline for Men lotion, using a total of $3.55 in manufacturers coupons and paying $9.92....which isn't all that great at all.....a deal I should have skipped since I was getting back just the $3 in RR's.)
I then took my $10 worth of Hershey's candy to the photo cash register. I used the 15% off.....oops....my $10 worth suddenly became $8.50, which means no $5 RR for buying it. DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY is what I feel like. I should have realized before hand and gone back and gotten $2 more in candy.
Now, I did use my $3 RR and a $2 RR from the previous week and paid $4.18 for all of the candy. That's not bad, but DUMMY DUMMY DUMMY!
I just figured it up.....had I done what I intended, which was to use the 15% off on the health and beauty items, with the 15% off, I still would have been over the $11 needed for the RR.
Yes, I am kicking myself!!! I am out of money and now have NO Register Rewards to use next week. :(
I hope I have helped at least one person to not make the same mistake as I did.

Let's Get Caught Up!!
Life has gotten so busy for me. It's time for me to post here....let you know what is up....and work on getting my blog going again!
The busy busy time started the week of Bible school. The week after that we were at family Bible camp for the week.
The following week I got into a little accident in the parking lot at the grocery store. So, the lady's insurance company was fast to get to me and cut me a check for the damage. After that was history....we spent days looking for a different car I could buy. A week ago today my kids drove to a town 60 miles away and bought me a 1994 Lincoln Town Car. It's looks good....but stalls on idle some. I'm hoping and praying that will be a simple fix.
If you are interested in seeing the car, visit this post on gather: My New "Baby" (Car)
We also were finally able to get a kitten. He's going to be expensive to keep, but well worth it. I've so missed having a cat over the past year. You can see photos in my gather article here:
Meet the New Member of Our Family :)
This past week we've had my boyfriend's nephews staying with us. My grandson also stayed the week to give them someone else to "play" with.
I've still been doing my Walgreen's shopping each week, but the deals seem so few now. I am hearing rumors of a new rewards program to earn gift cards. I don't think I will like it because I've so loved having the instant "cash" with the register rewards. I am just reading about it here and there, can't find anything on the Walgreen's website itself.
I've also been able to do some coupon grocery shopping as well, which is always fun for me. On one trip I had to have my daughter drive me in between cars. She was amazed when the total after coupons was less than half of what it was before. That made me feel good.
I am finishing up some crafts for my next giveaway here on my blog. Be on the look out for that coming soon.
I am in hopes in the near future to also have the opportunity to get some sponsored giveaways going.
I am also hoping starting this week to get back into my regular "groove" both online and around the house.
Until next time,

Walgreen's Shopping 6/27 and FRUSTRATIONS!
Off I went this afternoon for my normal weekly shopping at Walgreen's. I had my list ready as usual. Also as usual, a coupon that was supposed to be out, must not have been in our paper. I was looking for the Dentyne coupon that was supposed to be in the paper 2 Sunday's ago. I got 2 copies of the paper that Sunday, but no Dentyne coupon that I could find, and one set of the inserts I hadn't cut yet. I hate when this happens.
Here is what I ended up getting today:
Blistex Smoothie lip balm 3-pack--on sale for $2.99, got back $3 in register rewards.
AirPlus Aloe Socks--free (see my note below)
2-Twizzler packages, on sale for 2 for $4 with $2 back in register rewards
2-Dixie Plates on sale 2 for $5, used just one .50 coupon that I had--got back $1 in register rewards.
Package of Shrek mrshamallow treats on clearance for .75
I used my $5 and $4.50 register rewards from last week's shopping.
Notes:
I bought the Twizzlers for the kids to have to snack on while we are at camp....the Dixie plates because it's BBQ season and I, honestly, hate to do dishes.
I have had several weeks in a row of frustration free shopping at Walgreen's (minus them never having the $2 vitamins with the $2 RR) This week seemed to be full of frustrations.
First of all, I asked about the Act II mini bag of popcorn that is advertised for $1 a box. I had a .40 coupon and figured I would buy it since we are out. No....I'm told my store doesn't even carry it since there isn't a marker on the shelf for it.
Secondly I ask them about the Airplus socks. "oh, we have some over here, but we only got 4 pairs on the truck" There was just one pair left so I grabbed them quick.
Thirdly, I get to the register and the cashier tells me that the register rewards are not printing out for the socks. So, she can price modify them to 1 cent, then price one of my other items down 1 cent to make up for the $3 RR I'm not going to get. I decide to go ahead with that. After all, that made them totally free, not even any sales tax on them.
But, fourthly.....doing that with the socks made it so that I couldn't use my last RR of $2 since they can't be used to cover any of the sales tax. After all coupons it came to $2.57 and the tax part was .83.
So.....I spent $2.57 out of pocket and got back a total of $6 in register rewards for next time....and I still have the other $2 RR that I wasn't able to use that has to be used by next Sunday.
Regardless of everything, I'm happy with what I got, and what I spent. I just find it so frustrating how many times you can't find what they have advertised.....or if you don't shop in the day the ad comes out they run out of the product because they got very few in on the truck.
We have no Rite Aid or CVS here, so Walgreen's has to be my coupon deal shopping place. We didn't even have a Walgreen's until about 5 years ago. I didn't get into doing the monthly rebate booklet until just a few months before they ended that and went to the register rewards program.
Rumor has it that they are going to be starting a new rewards program and doing away with the RR's.....does anyone have any info on if it's true, or what it will be all about.
I have found that I love the RR's better than the monthly rebate book. With the rebate book I only shopped once a month, then had to wait about that amount of time for the refunds to be added to my Walgreen's gift card. With register rewards, the reward is instant....I can even turn around and go do more shopping while I'm still at the store like so many do.
Enough rambling.......I hope to get some feedback on all of this.
Here's to a great rest of this day,

Good Deals at Dillon's
I just had to go back to the store for a few more things this morning.
2-Ivory Body Wash, on sale for $1 each, used 1-.50 coupon doubled to $1 and 1-$1 coupon.
5- Reach Floss, on sale for $1, used 2 internet printed $1 coupons and found 3 packages with $1 peelie coupons on them.
1-Listerine Pocket Packs, on sale for $1, used .50 coupon doubled to $1
2-Dole Mandarin Oranges, on sale for $1 each, used .50/2 coupon doubled to $1.
I paid just .81 out of pocket.... 60 cents of that was sales tax.
Now, I have to tell you that one of my coupons wouldn't scan, so the cashier keyed in the code. I realized once I was home that whatever he keyed in took $1.79 off and it says video rental fees, instead of just the $1 off, so I should have paid .79 more. I'm feeling, in my honest self, that I need to go back to the store and pay the other .79.
The floss, pocket packs, and body wash are now added to my gift tote for gifts as I need them.

Laws of Illusion Album by Sarah McLachlan--Review
I have the opportunity to review this album thanks to the One2One Network.
Laws of Illusion is Sarah McLachlan's first studio album of brand new material in 7 years. Her career has spanned more than 2 decades, and she has over 20 million career sales! EVERY one of Sarah's studio and live albums has been certified gold, platinum or multi-platinum by the RIAA.
****In stores June 15!!
The album was recorded in Montreal and Vancouver Canada, where she has her roots. Recorded with her longtime collaborator and producer Pierre Marchand. The album is being released just weeks before the kick off of Lilith Fair 2010, which is the historic all women touring festical, founded by McLachlan.
I've listened to Laws of Illusion twice all the way through since receiving it. I really enjoy the laid back sounds of this album. The songs are on the side of love songs.
My favorites songs are Illusions of Bliss and Loving You is Easy.
Loving You is Easy is the albums first single and is a Top Ten hit at Adult Alternative radio.
I really like that the CD comes with a cover insert that has photos as well as the words to all the songs.
Album songs include:
Awakenings
Illusions of Bliss
Loving You is Easy
Changes
Forgiveness
Rivers of Love
Love Come
Out of Tune
Heartbreak
Don't Give Up On Us
U Want Me 2
Bring on the Wonder
I hope you have a chance to sit back and enjoy this album.

Checking In
I took Jasmine off to camp this afternoon. I have felt this sad emptiness before even leaving the camp. It's going to be a long week for me with her gone.
I have been so incredibly busy this past couple of week. Tomorrow is no different. I'm going to be hanging out with my mom most of the day as she has 2 dr. appts. tomorrow and some shopping to do.
I have 100's (literally) of photos and videos that need to be shared on gather...not to mention the regular posts that I do there.
I did get in a post that covers my last 2 Walgreen's shopping trips. I hope you will check it out. Walgreen's Shopping 6/10/10 and 6/13/10
Speaking of Walgreen's....I went into my blog dashboard this morning to quickly scan the Walgreen's deal posts and discovered new ways to fix up our blog. I ended up messing with that. What do you think about the looks of my blog now? I am really liking it!
We had our annual rummage sale at church yesterday. I got some pretty good deals, although most of what I bought were more wants than needs. I did get a wool blanket for $1 that I need for the inside of one of my quilts.
I'm going to do my best to get back to posting regularly, meaning daily to my blog.
I'm getting closer to cashout points with sidetick.com and I've been getting more photos put in to redgage.com. I haven't done anything on squidoo lately so need to get to that.
We are going through some heavy thunderstorms right now. Flood warnings. We seen lots of flooded fields while taking Jasmine to camp. The camp suffered from the last flood our town had. Just another worry for me while she is gone. I am just seeing on the news about flooding in Arkansas.
Guess I better quit aimlessly blabbing here and decide if I am going to continue trying to earn some money this evening or if I am going to just head on to bed.
Have a great night,
