Back At It Againnnnn

Hi Dolls!!! It's been awhile since my last post. I hope some of you actually went along with doing the nail polish tag. I thought it was quite fun. Makes me realize how much nail polish I don't have! I'm actually wanting to get more now that I've kinda gotten back into painting my nails. Sadly though, I had to chop them down the other day because they were just too long.


I hope you all are having a fantabulous day on this lovely Thursday [I'm at home so that's why it's awesome for me]. 


I hope you all enjoy my posts about couponing because I really do enjoy writing them. I love saving money and couponing for me is fun, when there's something I really want and I know I can get it cheap.


Here's a G-R-E-A-T Deal I have been able to score for the past few weeks.








you ready?








F-R-E-E Kitty Food. I know, seems like all I've been able to really get free lately is kitty food. But if you did see my post a few weeks ago, you'd notice that I got some shave gel for free too. Here's the post.

Yes, it's a LOT of cat food. Here's how I did it:


Iams $3/1 cat food/dog food coupon
Iams Trial Size cat food $3.00 @ Target
Take off the Coupon = Free

I managed to score so far, 27 bags of cat food. I actually had two more bags but I've already fed them to my kitty. That would have been a total of 29 bags of cat food. 1 little bag lasts my kitty a week! So I have 27 weeks of kitty food to last me.


Now, I will note that I DID NOT clear the shelves at Target and I DID NOT purchase all of these in one trip. This overall has been broken down into about 5 shopping trips.

Here's a close up view of the ones I got. My cat personally loves the Natural chicken one [left], Indoor Weight & Hairball control, which she doesn't need the hairball part [middle], Original Chicken [right].


I still have more coupons for free kitty food that I plan on using. I love stocking up the baby girl so I can use my money toward bills and other things.


It's a great feeling when you've been able to score items for free.


Have you scored any items for free lately? If so, please comment below sharing what you have been able to get for free or even just any good deals you've come across.

I'm Hooked ^_^

Since I'm not really into doing a makeup blog anymore I've decided that one of the other things I'm passionate about other than photography, my cat and my cars is couponing. I'm not an "extreme couponer" in any way, shape or form but I do LOVE getting items for really cheap or FREE.

Tonight I needed to go to Target and get some dog treats for an event I'm helping host tomorrow afternoon at a dog park. The event is called "Car meet gone to the dogs". Basically we are having a car meet at a dog park to raise donations for local shelters and fire victims [Texas has had some pretty crazy fires up north of me].  So far we've managed to get Red Bull to sponsor us and my friend, who grooms animals, will have her mobile unit out there to do nails and such. We have about 50 people that are coming which is AWESOME because I thought we'd maybe have 20 at the most.

So yeah, haha back on track here. I went to Target because I had a manufacturers coupon for $1.50/2 Milk Bone treats and a target coupon for $1.50/2 Milk Bone Treats. They retail for 2.89ea. I also had a target coupon for a free Whisker Lickins Cat Treat and a manufacturer's coupon for a free Lipton iced tea. So after using all of my coupons I ended up spending only $3.01 w/tax on 4 items =)

Since Petsmart is right next door, I ran over there because I had a manufacturers coupon for a free bag of Crave Cat Treats. Well I had heard that Petsmart had a manufacturers coupon for a free bag of Crave cat treats when you bought a bag. Score! So I ended up getting two bags for free!! [My cat is a happy camper]

Total spent on 6 items: $3.01
What I would have spent w/o coupons: $11.19 [ouch!!!!]
 

Do you use coupons??

Is there a such thing as Free??

I know what you're probably thinking. Is she really going to turn this blog into couponing? No, no I'm not. This blog will always be about makeup and about every day life. I might need to change the title eventually because I pretty much talk about anything and everything!

Anyway, this morning I headed over to Petco and picked up a couple of items. I had a coupon for 2 free cans of Fancy Feast Cat Food. I also had a coupon for 1 free 3.5oz bag of dog treats. I ended up giving that coupon to a friend in my complex and ended up taking it back so I could see if I could find it at Petco, since Walmart didn't have them.

Luckily Petco had the Pro Plan Roasted Slices dog treats in stock. I was kind of hesitant to grab them because the coupon said Free up to $3.99 value. Petco had them priced at $5.99. Well after talking to the cashier, I ran back and grabbed them.

After ringing up my coupons. . . What would have been $7.17, I walked out of the store with FREE products. =]

If you're ever looking for great deals on anything, I suggest you check out The Coupon Posse's Blog. They (cause I'm sure it's more than one lady) find great deals at Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, Walmart, Target and pretty much every where in between. So feel free to follow her blog and start saving on some great deals!
