Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season. I'm sure that, like myself, many of you are ready to get back into savings mode.
I know my post title has some of you scratching your heads 😂
I had zero plans to go after Christmas shopping. The mood just wasn't there, but when we went to Kroger earlier this week, I decided to just swing by Wags since their Christmas were 70% off. Well, I get to the Christmas section and the tags still showed 50% off (I knew it was 70% off, cause my coupon group posted about it). There were also quite a bit of goodies to be had, so I took advantage of this.
I did a big order first (can't post it, because it includes goodies for BF & DS). I first asked the cashier to check if it was 70% off, since she was clueless about it. Success! It is 70% off, although one of the items I asked her to remove (only scanned at 50% off and this cashier was a pita), only to discover that she never did. It showed the $7.49 credit on the screen, but I don't know what she pressed to add the item again. Yeah, I paid $7.49+tax for nothing, because Wags has the item. CS was useless and told me to email another CS division. Sigh. But...... other things still worked great!
My absolute favorite find of the day was the Chips Ahoy priced at $1.58 and Ibotta has a $1.50 rebate (only works on this holiday flavor). Whoo-hoo for 8c cookies! Gotta love my coupon group. It's thanks to them that I knew about the 70% discount & cookies. I just wish my store had more than one available.
I also purchased one bag of the Lindt mint chocolate (my favorite and it's only available over the holidays). When I checked my receipt in the car, I saw that the Lindt was priced at $1.94. So I told DS that we should just go buy more candy to use for school.
So back in we went & did this deal:
11 x Ghirardelli slabs $14.08 (1.28 each - regular price 4.29)
4 x Lindt bags $7.76 (I know it's not all mint, but it's all they had and I wanted to use WC)
Less WC (20.00)
OOP $1.84
Why all the chocolate? I'm using them as Valentine's gifts. I did a similar deal for Christmas gifts (it's a long post that I still need to write). I'll get some Valentines cello bags at DT and add the cards. At this price I have 11 gifts and 5 bags of chocolate for myself. I'm one happy girl 😊 The slabs alone would've cost $47.19 at the regular price.
Above is what I did for Christmas. Each of DS's classmates got a big slab of chocolate and it didn't cost me much OOP. So Valentine's is done & dusted. Well, at least for school 😊
I also bought some Hallmark gift tags for $0.74 each. Not the best price, but I love Hallmark's quality.
I used a total of $70 WC (and I still have lots left to redeem) and $16.28 OOP.
Earned $1.50 Ibotta (cookies) + $3 RR (Colgate) + $7.94 (money Wags owes me) = $12.44
Retail value : $206.74
We had a great shopping trip. Even DS was happy.
Have a wonderful weekend peeps! Stay healthy, safe & warm.
