My Dollar General Trip -100 FREE Bic pens + 70% off clearance!!



I ran into Dollar General last night to see if they had any of the Bic pens left that are on sale 2 for $1 and was shocked to see that they had plenty left in the stationery section!  They are not marked with the sale price, but they do ring up at .50 each.  I bought 10 and used (5) $1/2 any Bic Stationery item MQ's to get all 10 FREE =100 pens!!  I think I'm set for the school year, maybe even for next school year -lol!




They also had all of the yellow dot summer apparel and shoes marked down 70% off.  Now's a good time to stock up on things like these flip-flops, that will be only .30 each after the markdown, for future craft projects!!  There were lots of plain t-shirts, that would be great for crafting, at 70% off, too!

Thanks Hip

3 FREEBIES from this weekend's coupon inserts + WM prices:



There were 3 FREEBIES in this Sunday's coupon inserts!!  The first one is the $3/1 Febreze Noticeables Warmer Pack, exp. 9/30/12 (P&G 08/26/12).  Here's the Walmart scenario (the price of the warmer might be slightly higher or lower, depending on your region).

Febreze Noticables Warmer -$2.97
use $3/1 Febreze Noticeables Warmer Pack, exp. 9/30/12 (P&G 08/26/12)
= FREE + .03 overage!




I suspect these will be VERY hard to find, you may want to go quickly to use this coupon, because the product will be depleted in no time!

Bic Flame Disk -$3.97
use FREE Bic Flame Disk MQ from the 8/26 inserts
=FREE
What is this you ask?:

Why The FlameDisk® is Better
The FlameDisk is the convenient outdoor grilling solution for a number of reasons. The FlameDisk is a charcoal alternative and is convenient to transport and store, making it great for tailgating, camping, boating, and day tripping.
First, the FlameDisk heats up quickly—no waiting! It also cools down in matter of minutes after use and leaves no mess behind.



I'm sure these will go fast, too (even though most people that will be getting them will have no use for it)!  My mother wears dentures, so I will be getting this for her, but if I didn't have a family member who needed this, I would give these coupons away. 

Poligrip 0.75 oz -$1.78
Use Free Poligrip Coupon 08/26/12 SS
 =FREE!

My first (and quick) Dollar Tree trip:



Here is my first couponing trip at Dollar Tree, they had a few other things that I probably could have gotten for free or really cheap, but I just didn't have the time to go through my binder and collect coupons yesterday!  Hopefully I will be able to get back over there sometime this week to check it out better. 

(2) Sally Hansen nail polish -$1 each
used (2) $0.50/1 Sally Hansen Nail Color Product, exp. 9/5/12 (RP 08/05/12 R)
= .50 each

(3) Maybelline lip cosmetics (lipstick, liner and gloss) -$1 each
used (3) $1/1 Maybelline Lip Product, exp. 10/5/12 (RP 08/05/12)
= 3 FREE

Total before coupons =$5
Total after coupon =$1 for all 5 or .20 each!

**Note -the cashiers had no idea how to take a coupon and had to call the manager, which didn't really have much of a clue either!  He manually entered the coupon values into the register, no scanning of coupons, so be careful of this so you are using the correct coupons for the correct items, since there is no way of the register "beeping" to tell you that the coupon is wrong.  Please do not take advantage of the fact that the register does not scan the coupon or DT will retract it's coupon accepting policy!!  The manager also tried to tell me that you can only use ONE coupon (the whole "one coupon per purchase" misunderstanding), and I had to explain it to him, but they are reading each coupon and trying to do their best, so please be patient with them, as they will all have to learn how to read a coupon as they go along since there was obviously NO training for them in this change!
