Free or Cheap EXPO Markers! Printable coupon and sale...

Wow, what a hot back to school deal! How about FREE or CHEAP EXPO markers? If your child doesn't need these for their school supply list, it is often a great teacher supply gift for the whiteboards. Right now, you can print a $2/2 coupon for EXPO markers to use anywhere..but WALGREENS has them on sale this week (and different ones next week) for $.99 for a two-pack, or $1.99 for a multi-pack (thin or wide tip)..making them FREE after coupon or only $1.99 for two packs! GREAT DEAL! Here's what to do!

Go HERE to print the coupon, just scroll down a bit, no need to sign up for anything (I skipped that). You can print twice, just hit your back browser button (or refresh/resend). I like to print, flip my paper over and print on the other end for the next coupon. 

If you can't find any sale markers in the office supply isle, check the school supply section and also the end isle displays for special sections..there are tons of these markers at my store still, but that could change in a day! Hope this helps save you a bit of cash!

Forgive the horrid pics, but I wanted you to see the product and coupon and what to look for! Smiles!

Walgreens Shop!!

I got some GREAT deals at Walgreens tonight, but it DID affect my budget in the short term. That is ok, just a reminder to be careful when calculating Register Rewards, ECB's, Rebates and such. This money isn't back in the budget til you get it in your hot little wallet! I spent $39.66 OOP at Walgreens to make my budget at $1024.42 for the year. Sorry no pics tonight! It sounds like a lot doesn't it? Here's what I got:

1. 2 bottles of THERFLU 2/$10 minus two $2/1 coupons = $6 OOP. I will mail in for rebate of $3.00 (only good on one). I ALSO got a $5 RR printed out at time of purchase. Once I get my rebate, this will be a money maker!
2. 4 boxes of KELLOGGS cereal. 4/$10, got $3 RR and used 4 $1/1 coupons. $3 for 4 boxes!
3. 3 Boxes of Quaker oatmeal, $1.99 on sale, had 3 $1/1 coupons.. paid .99 ea
4. Electrasol on sale for $3.49- $2.50 coupon, will get back $1.50 Wags Rebate $.51 profit!
5. 2 Ben & Jerrys 2/$6 had 2 $3 coupons FREE ICE CREAM!
6. 4 bottles of Flintstones Vitamins $5 each X 4 = $20 got $10 back immediately in Registe Rewards (RR's) and used 4 $1/1 coupons. Final cost if you include my RR as money back was only $6 for 4 bottles of vitamins! PLUS I am mailing in for the rebate (good for up to $10, but minus coupons and maybe only good on one bottle, so maybe only $1.50 back, maybe $10 back! I'll let you know!! Price today $6.
7. Car air freshener $4.99 will get back $4.99 Easy Saver Rebate so FREE
8. 9 bottles of fructis shampoo/cond/styler used $2 Wags and $1 man coupon = ALL FREE!

There you have it! Let's break it down: I spent $39.66 OOP. I got back $10, $3 & $5 in RR's. That takes my cost down to $21.66. I will get back $4.99 & $1.50 rebats wags $6.49 plus 10% more so .64 + $6.49 = $7.13 bringing total to $14.53. I will get back $3 for theraflu and $2-$10 for flintstones bringing my cost to $9.53 OR possibly $1.53!! GREAT DEAL either way!! I also Ran into CVS to buy milk. My $50 gift card from mypoints hasn't arrived, so I'm buying it OOP. I bought milk $3.39, 2 Colgate toothpastes for $5 and 1 4pk double roll CVS tp for $3.29. Used $2 ECB, 2 $1.50/1 colgate and $3 any cvs coupons. My total was $3.91 and I got back my $2 ECB. TOTAL OOP TODAY was $43.57!!! (see how that adds up quick! Also, if I do not judiciously use my register rewards and ECB, I will be wasting my budget! I need those RR's and ECB for milk, meds, toilet paper, health and beauty, etc. Don't forget to count to the costs! I can't wait until my rebates start coming in in March, that will be GOOD!! What do you think about my spending today??
