Harris Teeter Shopping Trip 5/31/2015

I wanted to pick up my weekend evics today and thought I would try to get up to $50.00 to use a $10.00 off $50.00 Lowes Foods coupon.  I found some doughnuts marked down and I had a few bakery coupons left so I decided to pick them up.  The store had a lot of Lipton tea left which I was really surprised about since it is free this week.  I plan on going back to pick more up tomorrow.  I did make a bit of a booboo today though.  I thought my husband's phone had the Ibotta offer for the Ragu sauce as well but it did not so I bought one of them for no reason.  Oh well, it is my favorite sauce at least.

I picked up the Alexia vegetables because after my Ibotta offer of $0.30, coupon and catalina they should have been a money maker but the catalina did not print.  I had the offer that had printed for me previously though and showed it to the cashier, the manager that was on duty took me right over to the service counter and gave me $1.50 back in cash.

Edit: The $0.50 Ragu offer came back!  Thankfully I had no submitted the receipt yet so I was able to get credit for the Special K and the Ragu from transaction #1!

JC Penney Shopping Trip 5/30/2015

I was very excited to stop into JC Penney to look for some more free clothes for Lily!  There was a promotion going on for JC Penney where you could text a code to receive a $10.00 coupon off any $10.00 or more purchase so I got one on my phone.  I was hoping to get one on my husband's phone as well but I was too late, the offers were gone.  We found some things on clearance though that Lily liked.  There was a Dora night gown which will be nice for her to wear this summer to sleep in.  Even though it has long sleeves the material is light and she can stick her feet out of the bottom if she wants.  We also found a shirt that we liked but it is a bit big for her still so it will wait in her closet until she can wear it.

1 Arizona Jean Knit Peasant Shirt ~ clearance price $4.99 (shelf price $16.00)

Cost: $4.99

Best Buy Shopping Trip 5/30/2015

I love my rebate apps.  This weekend I downloaded a new app called Find & Save.  I referred my husband to sign up for it and we both got offers to save $5.00 on a $20.00 Best Buy purchase!  I have been wanting to get some seasons of NCIS on dvd so we stopped into our local Best Buy.  They did not have any older seasons.  I was hoping to get any of 1-9 because seasons 10 and 11 are still a bit expensive.  In store season 10 was $21.99 but I check the price on Amazon and it was only $16.99 so we looked for a cheap movie to reach our $20.00 minimum.  We found The Blind Side which was also cheaper on Amazon for $4.18 so we went to customer service to checkout with the price matches.  We had no problems price matching.

We submitted the receipt on my husband's app and waiting for the payment.  It should send to his PayPal account once approved and hopefully I will get my referral bonus as well.  I will update when they respond to his rebate submission.

1 NCIS Season 10 ~ price match $16.99 (shelf price $21.99)

Cost: $16.99

1 The Blind Side ~ price match $4.18 (shelf price $4.99)
