you know what's totally awesome....

COUPONS that you can print at home!!

i love them - they bring value to life! today i went to Target for nice mouthwash - the non-alcohol kind that you can keep in your mouth while you apply deodorant or quickly clean the countertops :) it was $4.79 (up and up brand) but with the sale price and my magic target printable coupon - $2.15!!! now that's cool :)

also cool, tidy cats litter... on sale from $8.39 to 6.99 before my printable $2 coupon! and with the kitty litter i got some free cat treats called 'party mix' (maybe a party is just what my cats need to help them get along!) and with the free cat treats a coupon for a can of Friskies :| uhuh! i couldn't believe my luck!! over $10 of cat paraphernalia for five dollars!

my other bargain of the day: lean cuisine frozen meals - i LOVE frozen dinners, they are the only way i can eat that little food without feeling completely deprived and malnourished :) i got 6 veggie dinners on sale, plus i had a $1 coupon (i know big deal... hardly worth printing) BUUUT with when you buy 6 lean cuisines you get SKINNY COWS free - a $4 value!

other coupons of interest that i just printed, not that i am obsessed or anything:

• 75c off goldfish bread... how i dream of finding this bread! i want to try it sooo bad... in my wildest imagination i hope it makes smiling goldfish shaped sandwiches... i'll be sooo disappointed if it's just square, but orange and cheesy :(
• $1 off Colgate - i saw in the clearance end cap, a multipack of Colgate for $2.00 so you better believe i'm going back tonight to scoop them up! you can never have too much toothpaste, that's what i always say....
  
• 50 cents off in the cafe - it's only $1.50 for popcorn and soda, the perfect afterschool treat for young and old alike! we are soooo going after school!
• $1 off $3 up and up item - this is my favorite coupon (they sometimes give it out with receipts too) because if you find something already on sale (the mouthwash for example) it makes the item sooo cheap, you'd be a fool not to buy it ;)
  
• (squeamish people/men, please do not read) 75c off 'feminine products' ahem, sorry if too much information :| they give these coupons out like candy, i have literally 100 of them and under all our sinks there are a plethora of feminine hygiene items, thanks to buying something around the $1-2 price every time i shop. ha! i will never pay full price for feminine hygiene items ever again!!! (it will be just my luck to instantly go into menopause now my stocks are so high...)

and that concludes my super helpful couponing post :) also of note swag grabber which has printable coupons but i much prefer Target because swag grabber has coupons for places like Mellow Mushroom and Winn Dixie that we don't have in boring old California :| buuuut, we DO have Marla from the OC Register, my most favorite awesome frugal person ever, who i would love to be friends with, because she seems soooo nice and down-to-earth and she loves the 99 cent store also: oc deals :)

off to school with a song in my heart over all my bargains (it's sad, i know ;)
