work, sick and not feeling it

So work and illness have been getting in my way of blogging about my shopping experiences and the savings.
I have been taking advantage of some of the sales, usually just getting what's on sale that I have coupons for or what's a bargain.
I've been getting my samples, coupon train and some RAOKs in the mail, received a refund and some refusal of refunds because of being incomplete. Of course, I didn't thing of making copies of what I sent. I was too excited that I was getting money back! So, lesson learned. Luckily, the two refusals said if I could complete the refund, I'd get it so I'm going to try.
I have been listing and selling more CDs on half.com and amazon. Still need to update how much profit I've made so far this year.
(and their human parents)
This blog started as The adventures of a D.I.N.K. family where the two "kids" are four legged and how we are going to retire early. Now it's a 1 income, 1 entrepreneur, and 1 pup getting closer and closer to retirement.

Finally got to Walgreens last night - saved $60.13! After closer review of my receipt - I kind of cheated Walgreens - I ASKED THE MANAGER about using multiple Walgreen coupons - one coupon per one item as I ripped out several coupons from the easy saver. She said, sure, it say's one item per coupon. Come to find out - it automatically took the multiple of the 1 coupon I needed! Whoopies! So I actually cheated Walgreens out of $3.
I got some good receipt coupons too - $5 off my next purchase and a free powerbar coupon.
The deals I got -10 free soyjoy bars (gave up on CVS and decided to use them here).
Tylenol sinus - $4.99 each plus $1 Walgreen coupon plus $1 manufacturer coupon - $2.99 each (plus the extra $3 off).
Fructis shampoo & conditioner - $3.99 minus $1.50 Walgreens coupon plus $1 of one coupon =$1.49
Fructis styler - $1.59 minus $1.50 walgreens minus $1 coupon = THEY PAID ME A DOLLAR!
degree deorderant - $2.99 minus $1 Walgreens minus 50 cents mfr coupon = $1.49 each
Carefree pantyliners - $1.49 minus 50 cents walgreens minus 50 mfr coupon = 49 cents each!
I received my Doggie envie RAOK. She even added some coupons from my wish list!
Sent out my $10 office depot rebate today - this was the best deal for Taxcut this year. The price was $34.99 everywhere this week, but Office Depot had the $10 GC rebate.

I made a trip to a different CVS yesterday and again, no Soyjoy Bars. One more CVS to try, then I'm out of luck. Otherwise, it'll be using the free coupons somewhere else. At least it will be free! I tried the strawberry one I got about a week or so ago and liked it.
I received my 2nd envie from the coupon train yesterday - AWESOME - once again, almost every single one of the coupons were from my wish list! I feel guilty for not sending more from people's wish lists, but I just don't have the coupons (yet)!
I sold another CD on amazon. Seems like I make a trip to the post office and the next day, I sell another one! I think I might cut back on sending out and just stop by the post office once a week! At least it's on my way home from work and not out of the way!
Next week will be limited shopping. I'm out of town for work basically Monday to Thursday afternoon. I'm definitely stopping at Harris Teeter for the 89 cent 2-liter of diet coke!
