Come take a peek

Time for stockpile pictures! Its been a while since I've posted some shots and my stockpile room is quite a bit messier than it was in July. C'est la vie.
I have a bunch of pasta sauce crouching behind the Campbells and some Crystal Lite next to the Ziplocs. I'm hoping for a good sale on CL soon, I'm getting low and I drink it almost every day.
The top shelf is a bit of a catch-all - an extra hair dryer, candles, hair stylers and sponges.
Laundry stuff, fabric sprays, mouthwash and dishwashing detergent - those all go together, right?
I love my dumpster-dived set of drawers! Its so handy. The top shelf is razors, vitamins and lotions. Shelf 2 is tamps and pantiliners and shelf 3 is cold medicine.
That plastic bag is full of loofahs. I love loofahs and the RA sale a month or so back was the first time I'd seen a freebie sale on them so I loaded up. The plastic shelves are pretty much just full of tampons. The Busch boxes have kitty litter and trash bags in them.
Ah, my paper good table. This has definitely gotten a little out of control with the great sales lately. Behind the tissues on the left are a bunch of toilet paper and a storage box full of face wipes (Garnier, Olay, etc). Behind the napkins are paper towel rolls. The stack of diapers on the right has a whole other stack behind it and the black reusable bag is full of Tugaboos diapers. And nope, not preggers - just stocking up for some day when I might be. Diapers are pricey man!
Soda, more detergent, bottled water and plastic cups.
Poo/conditioner, more Ziplocs, toothpaste & brushes behind it and hiding behind some shampoo - a storage tote of deodorant.
DBF's shelf - razors (in the brown tote), deo, shaving cream. Tugaboos overflowing from that blue tote, my shaving creams, Dove soap, lotion and body wash.

Thank you for visiting. Come again soon!

Gigi the Ferocious

CVS - wanted to take advantage of the $10 Physician's Formula coupons I got from the scanner last week. I also picked up a prescription and another coupon printed on the receipt. Bonus!

For your entertainment, here is a random shot of Gigi snuggling with the feather end of her favorite tiger print toy. The other day, she was chowing down on breakfast when some of the maintenance guys started plowing the parking lot outside. They startled her and she ran to find somewhere to hide. She settled for underneath the coffee table and once she felt safe, she let out a low growl for them. You get 'em Gigi!

Back to Staples

Ok, so here's what I've learned about Staples the past couple days. It used to be that you could use Staples Rewards to pay for other items that give back rewards and everything would be hunky-dory. Now, if you use rewards to pay for items that give out rewards, your rewards certificate will only be for your out of pocket cost. Total bummer! You can however, use rewards towards rebate items. So what I've decided to do is rebuy the totes, paying with cash and returning the set (and other rewards items) that I bought on Sunday. I'm not 100% sure how the return will go, but I think the store will give me back some kind of reward money to be used in the store. Whether that's a gift card or another reward certificate, I haven't a clue.

If you want to check the status of your rewards, you can do so on Staples' website here.

• Avery 8160 White Address Labels (750/box) $9.99, used $3 coupon and should get back $9.99 in Staples Rewards = $3 profit
• Staples Legal/Letter Tote $8, will get back $8 in Staples Rewards = FREE
• Used 10% off a single item coupon (took off $1 for Avery), total was $15.18
  

Walgreens

• Full Fast Appetite Control Spray (2 oz) $10, got back $10 RR = FREE
• Gillette Fusion Proglide Manual or Power Razor System $9.99, used $4 coupon (12/26 P&G) and got back $5 RR = $0.99
• Holiday candy $0.12 (clearanced)
• Used $5 RR and $10 RR, total was $1.82

The irony of buying a candy bar and an appetite control spray in the same transaction is not lost on me.

Maxi, Maxi, Maxi and some more Maxi

ShopRite

• 9 SR Maxi Pads $0.99 each ($2.39 reg price)
• Total was $8.91, got back $10 catalina for spending $20 on qualifying SR items (based on $2.39 price) = $1.09 profit

I did this deal for the first time last night, but I only bought 8 packages, so no cat. I went back tonight to Customer Service and they rang up a 9th one for me and scanned something fancy to get the cat to print. Hoorah! That was much easier than I'd anticipated.

Walgreens

• Gillette Fusion Proglide Manual or Power Razor System $9.99, used $4 coupon (12/26 P&G) and got back $5 RR = $0.99
• Holiday Pencil $0.20 (reg $0.39 - 50% off clearance)
• Used $5 RR, total was $1.90
  

Huge Sinex Profit

In case you haven't heard, the tissue deal at Rite Aid is now limited to three per card. If you've done the deal already this week, you're done.
Walgreens - since DBF loves the Gillette razors, I want to pick up as many as I can this week.

• 4 NyQuil/Dayquil Sinex (20 ct) $5 each, used four $4 coupons (12/26 P&G) and got back $10 RR (WYB $20, monthly deal until 3/26) = $6 profit
• Gillette Fusion Proglide Manual or Power Razor System $9.99, used $4 coupon (12/26 P&G) and got back $5 RR = $0.99
• WAG Candy $0.49
• Used $10 RR, total was $1.22

Did this deal twice more. On my third store, I bought two Dayquil & two Nyquil but didn't get any rewards. I have no idea why! The RR for the razor printed, but not for the Sinex. The manager rang up another free after RR item for $10 and gave me that RR. Then I bought:

• Gillette Fusion Proglide Manual or Power Razor System $9.99, used $4 coupon (12/26 P&G) and got back $5 RR = $0.99
• Ramen noodles $0.39
• Used $5 RR (from Gillette - its rolling!), total was $2.08

Did this deal again, then I bought:

• 4 WAG shredded cheeses $1.50 each
• Used $5 RR, total was $1
