Rite Aid: P&G Scenario

On the back page of the Rite Aid this week it details how if you spend $50 of participating P&G products, you get $15 +Up Rewards back. If you are needing some of these items, this would be a good time to get them!


Here are the P&G items participating in this deal, valid this week only:

Charmin bath tissue, 24 big rolls, $12.99
Bounty paper towels, 15 rolls, $12.99
Duracell batteries, various sizes, $9.99

PLUS, you can also get over $110 in coupons from P&G when you send in your receipt and fill out the required form from yesterday's P&G insert. Remember, the $50 total is before coupons!

Okay. Here is what I did this morning. I needed everything except the toothpaste and mouthwash. I wanted to buy razors, but my store was already out. So I bought the toothpaste and mouthwash instead to bring up my total. I will just donate those items. :)


(2) Charmin @ $25.98
(2) Gillette deodorant @ $8
(2) Gillette body wash @ $8
(1) Tampax @ $2.99
(1) Scope @ $3.50
(1) Crest @ 2.69
Total: $51.16

Minus:
$5/$25 Video Values coupon
(2) $1/1 Charmin coupons (I got these in the mail awhile ago)
(2) Gillette Deodorant or Body Wash, any excluding trial size $2/1 (8-31-10) PG-8/1
(2) Gillette Body Wash Free with Purchase of Gillette Deodorant, Excludes Trail Size (9-30-10) PG-8/29

(1) Crest Toothpaste, any 4 oz. or larger or liquid gel excluding Crest Cavity, Baking Soda, Tartar .75/1 (8-31-10) PG-8/1
Total after coupons: $29.41

Then I got a $15 +UP Reward that printed!

Now, I will also submit for $2 in Single Check Rebates for the toothpaste and Tampax. So my grand total after coupons, rebates and reward will be $12.41. I consider this a very thrifty price on the items I purchased today. I mean...look at all that toilet paper!

And I will get another P&G coupon booklet with over $110 in savings to use on future sales.

Awesome. I ♥ Rite Aid!


Rite Aid 8/29-9/4

Halloween Costumes! Do you Buy or Make? Which is cheaper?

This is my daughter dressed as Princess Leia last year on Halloween. My Mom is an accomplished seamstress and so Halloween is easy when Grandma makes the costume! My only addition to this costume was the hair (easy since she has natural Leia hair), blaster (black spray paint on old plastic Nintendo gun) and boots (white spray paint on clearance cheapy boots) and some help with the belt. Yes, it's a very cool costume. Thanks, Mom!

I love Halloween. I love the decorations. I love making spooky recipes and homemade root beer with dry ice (1 gallon of water; 1 lb of sugar; 1 oz. root beer extract; 1 lb dry ice). I love carving the coolest jack-o-lanterns on the block and I love the costumes!

My goto place for all things Halloween is FamilyFun Magazine and you can find many of their ideas on FamilyFun.com. Over the years I have tried and loved many of their recipes and costume ideas. One of my favorite costumes to make was the Alien Encounter costume. Making the papier-mâché head was a blast! Family Fun also has some great last minute costume ideas which tend to be much easier and cheaper than some of the costumes we have gone with over the years. In fact, many times making a costume at our house is more expensive than just buying one on sale! They are definitely more time consuming. But we feel the results are worth it in the end. We may border on cosplay (this year she's going as Princess Zelda - she's really into strong Princess characters!), but it's a family project that we really enjoy!

What about you? Do you purchase your costumes or make them?

Stop! Don't throw out those glass jars!

Our curbside recycling program does not accept glass at this time. So I often find myself pausing at the trash can, trying to think of a new purpose for these glass bottles.
I have started holding onto them, waiting for inspiration to strike. I figure that if I can't find a use for them, I can deliver them to a recycling center myself.
The straight walled, wide mouthed peanut butter jars, in particular, have really been on my mind lately.
For one thing, the peanut butter is pretty pricey! I'm a penny pincher so I know I could get Skippy or JIF for less, especially using coupons. A LOT less. But the Adams ingredient label appeals to my efforts to feed my family healthier foods so I pay a little more for it. We go through a jar every three weeks or so. I'm accumulating a good collection of them.
Because of their size, I thought they might make good canisters for the pantry. And finding a useful purpose for them might take a bit of the sting from the price of the peanut butter away.
After a little spray paint and some old dresser drawer knobs, I'm pretty happy to replace my 30 year old Tupperware canisters with these.
I'll recycle the Tupperware of course! Or repurpose it somewhere.
I wonder what a set of vintage pea green Tupperware canisters is going for on Ebay?
Where was I?
Oh yes, my new canisters! 
I even made some for the craft room. I just printed the labels using a free clip art website and applied them with some contact paper. If you own a  vinyl cutter you could make them even fancier.
I've been holding on to that giant pickle jar in the top picture for a while now. Today I decided to give it a new life as a Pottery Barn inspired vase.
I just wrapped it with jute, using  hot glue to adhere it to the bottle. I had the jute and hot glue on hand so it cost me nothing. But even those things would only be a couple of dollars if you had to buy them.
I think I'll do the same with the large wine bottle. 
As soon as my glue gun finger heals up. 
These are certainly not my original ideas. Just things I've seen other people do. But they serve a useful purpose in my home and keep some glass out of the landfill.
Buying glass canisters similar in size to the ones I made today would have cost anywhere from $3 to $15 each. Which means I saved myself some money too.
As I was searching for other ideas for reusing glass I was amazed and inspired by all the great things you can do.
With a small investment in a glass cutting tool you can even turn empty bottles into drinking glasses, light fixtures, garden ornaments, etc. 
Just today I read about using inverted glass bottles as mini greenhouses to start plants in your garden.
The next time you have a glass bottle that is ready for the trash, pause for a moment and try to imagine it with a new purpose. Especially if that new purpose will save you money. 
There's no harm in helping your wallet while you help the planet.

Coloring - Not Just for Kids!

Several years ago I discovered advanced coloring books and I fell in love with the beautiful designs. I ordered several books and found out that you're never too old to COLOR!

Below are a few of my favorite books. These are 4 for 3 at Amazon and FSSS. Not only do I, personally, get a lot of enjoyment from these books - the children in my life do as well. This is an enjoyable activity to do while you're sitting in a doctor's office, in church or in your office on a conference call.

In addition to these pattern books, there are books with fairies, dragons, and many other advanced coloring options!

To color, I prefer Crayola Twistables Crayons and/or Crayola Twistables Colored Pencils. These are on sale everywhere this time of year. I've linked to deals at Walmart.com.
