Keep your Fingers Crossed for Me

Kmart - wanted to get some of the free St. Ives that I saw on Queen's blog

• 7 St. Ives Elements cleansers/scrubs $3.49 each (marked $6.99 but are actually on sale), used seven $2 coupons (doubled to $3.49 each, 3/8 SS) = FREE
• Rubbermaid laundry basket $9.44 - really needed, mine are all cracked and broken
• 2 Pillows - $7.99 each, really needed these too, mine are super old
• 3 Tidy Cats Breeze litter $5.99 each
• Tidy Cats Breeze litter pads $3.99, used $1 coupon (doubled to $2, WYB litter and pads, home mailer or inside package -- can't remember)
• Diet Coke for DBF $1.49
• Total was $51.20

I needed some new pillows and I picked up one thinking it would be good to have an extra item in case the St. Ives coupons gave overage. Then I started thinking, well, I really need two pillows so maybe I'll get another one and some other stuff to try for the rebate below. I haven't had the best of luck with Glamour rebates in the past, but even if it doesn't come, the laundry basket, pillows and litter are all things I need anyway. Fingers crossed!

From Queen's blog:

Page 145 of April's Glamour magazine (Katie Holmes-Cruise 70th anniversary cover) right hand side:

We went to the vet to pick up some more food for Mr. Mousse and they had stapled forms to the bags. They explained to me that there was a $5 rebate available until 3/31 for these - sounds good to me! They gave me two separate receipts, so I'll submit for one at my address and one at DBF's address. At $16.79 a bag, I'll take any discount I can get on this stuff!
