thanks for the rep! i ended up returning half the stuff and rebuying it plus other stuff. *sigh* have to spend some to earn some... or however it goes.

aww, thanks for the rep ...

I dont die my hair, get highlights done maybe once a year in the spring.. lol but with all the coupons I would love to try some, I just dont know if I can trust my dh to do it, he's likely to fry my hair off one side of my head... HAHA

Uhm the kleenex with lotion is WAY better than the puffs. I only ever used puffs till last winter and they were greasy as all....I got the kleenex months back when it was on sale at sdm and paid 9cents/box, but with only one left I got paranoid I was going to have to use TP on my face. Good news, dont need it now so I over paid for a box that is sitting on the stock shelf...go figure!

oh, also, i think the kleenex with lotion is 50 cents or so cheaper at walmart if you decide to get it again. or you could just get better so you don't have to buy it!

i thought the fries were 2.50ish, but at my store they were 1.99, which *was* the regular price at walmart till they raised the price very recently. but, i have no freezer space, so that deal was out of the question.
and my sdm was out of olay 2 bar soaps, so that meant no olay. that's not a big deal in terms of the event, though, cause it would've been free. ugh. i'm so sick of "but it's not 10.00."
i thought about the kleenex with lotion to buy with the 60c coupon, but i passed cause i go through kleenex like crazy so i need to get as cheap as possible. is it good? how does it compare to puffs with lotion?
i ended up not getting the perfect 10 at all because they raised the price. i was lucky because garnier dye was 3.99 - 2.00 coupon. i got 2. i've never tried this kind before but 1.99 is insane for hair dye, how could i not?!?
i've been dying to use a $1.50 oral-b crossaction coupon, so i finally did that while they were on for 3.99.
sun-rype squiggles 2.50 - 1.00
evaporated milk 99c x 2
sun chips 3.00 x 2
schweppes 12 pack 3.50 - 1.00
mug rootbeer 3.50
subtotal 21.93
total 25.50
points earned 290. and i'm kicking myself for not buying a gift card to pay for it with.
7.50 in coupons... fair.

Here's what I ended up getting after all....since there were no mccain fries that made my list garbage as thats the only thing I planned.

7x olay 2bar soaps
3x olay ribbons bdy wsh - used 3 $10 olay coupons (had to get extra or it didnt add up! blah blah blah)
2x glade candles - 2.99 b1g1 coupon
1x kleenex lotion 1.99 - 60 cent coupon (have nasty icky cold!!)
2x gain laundry soap 5.99 - $1 coupon x2 ( this was what I was counting on to make the bill higher...lol)
1x nivea lip balm 1.99 on clearance (dry lips from icky cold)
2x bounce w/febreze 120's 6.99 - 50 cent coupon (HAD to get to make bill over)
Total before taxes and after coupons was $21.35

Sorry I took all that space, hope its still all good :D

i think i'll buy 2 x perfect 10 with 2 x $7 coupons and the sdm points coupon for 3000. and the rest will be gravy.
just since joining SC, i've been crazy about lists and keeping track of coupons. even on here, i'm embarrassed to say that i print out a list of all the coupons i take when i go shopping, all written out in the same order that they are in my purse. with so many coupons, i just find it horribly stressful if i have to flip ALL of my coupons just to find one when i'm in line. i still get pretty stressed out even with it all organized, but it's better. i just want one day when all the things i have coupons for are on sale so i can use up my whole collection and not have a heavy purse of coupons.

I know what you mean. I never made lists a few months ago and now its not soo much of a list as a stack of coupons to use...lol. The last sdm event I had a list, a good one at that. This time there doesnt seem to be much on sale. I went today and just wung it...haha, got it done though. My sdm had Olay 2 packs on clearance so I used $10 olay coupons and made it an alright trip. Wouldnt have done it though if it wasnt the friend event.

i'm generally a list-maker when it comes to deals, but i think for the sdm event, i'll just wing it. i referred one friend (better than none), so whatever i get will end up being nearly free (or free?). i'm going to treat myself... make it a spree of sorts

I'm gettin excited too.. I am going tomorrow because I wont be able to wait any longer....lol. And you're welcome on the group leader thingie
