4 ROAKs and a Big Stack

What a great week for RAOKs it has been! Earlier in the week I was getting restless so I gathered up some of the stockpile and took it down to the local women's shelter. I had checked their website -- deodorant, toothpaste, fem hygene were in high demand, and I dropped off a bunch of non-perishables too like the catelli pasta, canned soups, etc. After that I received a ROAK when I was given an envelope and told to treat myself so yesterday I got my first ever pedicure! On Wednesday I found someone who needed a bed (and I had bought an extra one because you just can't pass up a brand new bed from jysk for $20 even if you don't need one lol) and I will be delivering it to them soon. Today's RAOK was 2 envelopes of stacks from eruilo -- her generosity will keep me stacking for a long time to come!! I celebrated by organizing my coupon binder and heading out for a quick run to LD!!! Thanks again :D

Today's LD trip was probably similar to a lot of other brags - Sunlight!! I PMed Zellers at $4 and bought 11 bottles with $3 stacks so combined with the sunlight I already had, I will not need to buy any more for a year (did I mention how much laundry four kids generate around here!! lol) and I can donate some! Yesterday I picked up some buckets, and I've been thinking about putting together cleaning packages for women as they exit the shelter and are moving into their new places...the dollar store here has some funky zebra print brooms and dustpans, and I certainly have enough Mr. Clean, Bounty, Clorox, and Scrubbing Bubbles to share :)

Some of the other stacking deals:

Mars FPC and Mars BOGO = 2 free
2 Old Spice body wash PM $3 - $6 = free
2 Old Spice deodorant LD sale $2.49 each - $5 = free
Luminaire PM RCSS $14.97 - $15 = free
2 Sensodyne LD sale $4.99 - $10 = free
Pampers wipes PM RCSS $2.99 - $2.50 = $0.49
2 Herbal Essence PM RCSS $1.88 - $1.00 = $0.88

Dove hair/mist stacks used both $2WUB2 diff coupons (so $4 off)and were paired with the soap sale
3 Dove Shampoo/Conditioner Zellers PM $3.99 (had one $1.50 coupon)
2 Dove Mist PM Zellers $2.99
5 Dove Soap PM Zellers $1.99
LD coupon book saved me another $0.60
Total 10 dove cost after price matching was $27.90 - $22.10 = $5.90

I used $95.23 in coupons according to the receipt, but when you take into account that everything other than the chocolate was a PM or sale, I actually saved over $170 today. My total OOP was $27.58 :)

way to go =)
