Quick Deal: $10 for $20 at The Body Shop

competitiveshopper — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 20:57:35 +0000

This is one of my favorite deals, so I just wanted to pop in to share it! Living Social is doing the $20 Body Shop vouchers for $10 again! Woohoo! I love their skin care stuff, along with so many other things there to give as gifts! You could grab something nice for Valentine’s Day or even an early end-of-year teacher’s gift! Check it out here!

Not Really Here… Still :)

So… Remember when I said I was taking the month of November off?! Well, I am enjoying this little break from pretty much all things coupon, deal and blog-related a bit too much. My new little man arrived November 13 and he is super sweet! I am really loving spending every spare moment (‘ya know, when I’m not cleaning bathrooms and such) with my family! I’m sure I’ll be back eventually – maybe even in the next month. Until then… Happy couponing!

**Feel free to comment below if you see any deals you’d like to share with others! I also may pop in here and there if I see something I think you can’t live without knowing about

Pregnant Couponing

competitiveshopper — Sun, 09 Oct 2011 23:57:27 +0000

I’m behind again. Oops

I have already decided that I’ll take the month of November as “maternity leave” from the blog. I’m hoping to be back to regular posting around Black Friday and it will be sporadic if at all other than that. I had hoped to keep up until November. Clearly, that hasn’t happened lately. I’m usually a pretty organized and scheduled person so I hate being like this – but I am also quite pregnant and trying to make my family (not couponing) my first priority! We actually raised our grocery budget a bit for the second half of my pregnancy – both so I wouldn’t have to be obsessive about couponing and to make room for cravings! Ha! I still plan to post my CVS and grocery picks for the next couple weeks, but please be patient as they may be late.

My CVS Picks: 10/2-10/8

competitiveshopper — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:10:59 +0000

First off, can you believe it will be OCTOBER tomorrow?? I can’t! This year is flying by!

Schick Hydro Razor $3 ECB wyb 1 at $8.29
-$5 printable (I can’t check to see if this is still available – for some reason, coupons.com reallllly scares my computer)
Pay: $0.29

Reach 2-pack toothbrush $2 ECB wyb 1 at $3.99
-$2 printable*
Pay: FREE!
*This is a manufacturer’s with Walmart’s name on it – your store may or may not like this one! Since it is a manufacturer’s coupon (NOT a store coupon), it is totally legit to use anywhere – but I know stores are more skeptical of coupons lately. If your CVS doesn’t like this coupon, you could try using it at Target – or Walmart, haha! I am not a Walmart shopper, so I will probably try it at CVS and Target first!

There is also a candy ECB deal – $5 wyb $12 worth. I try to keep an eye on the drug store deals for Halloween candy. I’m probably going to wait on this one, though, and hope something a bit better comes along once we see more coupons.

Kroger: 2-Liter Pepsi Max $0.15!

competitiveshopper — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 21:05:21 +0000

I promise I will get around to posting Kroger match-ups eventually! …But in the meantime, I wanted to quickly share a deal my husband saw while he was out this afternoon!

2-liters of Pepsi Max are on sale for $1.25 each this week. At our store in Gahanna (Stonybrook Shopping Center – corner of Morse & Hamilton), there is a display with $0.55 coupons (limit 1 per transaction). Once that coupon doubles, it makes a 2-liter only $0.15 plus tax!

Buy:
2-liter Pepsi Max
Coupon:
-$0.55 from display
Pay: $0.15

The coupon is also good on 12-packs, if that’s more your thing. We aren’t usually Pepsi Max drinkers so my husband just went with super cheap to try it out.
