My Qing Adventures This Week



Here are my Qing (couponing) adventures for this week.  I found some good deals.  I follow The Frugal Find on Facebook and get her emails everyday. She is an excellent page to follow for the deals. I also follow totallytarget.com and they are specifically for Target, which is one of my favorite stores. Target allows you to stack Qs (coupons).  That means, that you can use a TQ (Target coupon), which is found on their website, and a MQ (manufacturer coupon) together, making for even a better deal!


Target shopping trip 4/25/12
Total OOP (out of pocket) $21.79, total savings this trip $23.13

Let me break down the deals for you.
-Hostess donuts on sale for $1.89 - $0.50 MQ = $1.39 each
-Carefree panty liners $0.99 - $1 MQ = $0.01 overage
-Tums Refreshers $2.49 - $0.75 TQ = $1.74
-One A Day Women's Vitamins $6 - $2 MQ = $4
The One A Day Women's Vitamins were the best deal! They had a price cut tag marking them down from $14.49 to $6! When I scanned them, they still came up at the $14.49 price. I asked an associate and she said they would sell them to me for the $6 price, but she took the price cut tag off the shelf! LOL! They had a $2 peelie, a MQ stuck on the package, so I got them for $4!
-Revlon easy smooth callus shaver, beauty tool 
$4.99 - $2TQ - $1 MQ = $1.99
-Method cleaners on sale for $2.69 - $1 MQ - $1 TQ = $0.69 each
-OxiClean Pre-treater $3.09 - $0.50 MQ - $1.50 TQ = $1.09
-Green Works wipes 
$2.36 -  used 3 $1 MQ - used 2 $1/2 TQ = $2.08 for 4 items
The wipes are $2.36 x 3 = $7.08.  $7.08 - $3 in MQs and $2 in TQs = $2.08 for all 4 items, because you get the dish soap for free! 
-Green Works dishsoap $2.34 = free
Target is running a special purchase: Free Green Works Dishwashing Liquid when you buy 3 Selected Green Works Items
-Headbands (out of the dollar bin in the front) $1
-Up allergy medicine $3.69


Vons shopping trip 4/27/12

The Ken's 12 ounce salad dressings are on sale for $0.99.  There is a MQ for $1/1 Ken's dressing from SS (Smart Source) 3/11, expires 4/30/12.   I used 4 MQs, getting the dressing for free! The Lucerne Greek yogurt was on sale for $0.89 each.  So, I paid $4.41 for the yogurt.

Vons shopping trip 4/27/12
Total OOP $0, total savings value 100%

Again, I used 3 MQs, getting the salad dressing for free! They actually paid me $0.03 to take the dressing! Wow, I have never been paid to take something home!
