Days 8&9

Posted in 30 Day 3Rs

Depressed. Not feeling bloggish.

I do want to share my shopping success from today:

CVS

2 48-packs of Stayfree Maxi Pads

2 bottles of Loreal Colorvive with free 8 oz conditioner

2 bottles of Loreal Colorvive conditioners

1 bottle of St. Ives Lotion

1 bottle of St. Ives Apricot face wash

1 bottle of St. Ives Body Wash

1 can of Lysol Neutra-Air

1 year free subscription to Cosmopolitan magazine

9 dollars out of pocket!

(after sales, coupons, rebates, and cash back)

Walgreen's

1 bottle of Dawn dishsoap

3 packages of Kotex maxi pads

1 bottle Fantastick w/ Oxy

2 Glade Wisps

1 8-ct Pepcid

1 Clairol Nice and Easy glaze

2 Suave body washes

1 Venus Vibrance razor

1 Fructis shampoo

10.50 out of pocket!

This is a great new hobby. My linen closet is just stuffed to the gills already. I have never, ever used rebates before! Can you believe it? I got a free Venus Vibrance razor, free N&E glaze, free Pepcid, and free Cosmo all from rebates. And that was just today. I have enough pads to last me for a year and I ended up spending about 5 bucks TOTAL. I've been buying dollar store ones for a year -- or store brand -- and I have a year's worth of name brand ones for a few bucks! I can't believe it. I have enough shampoo for at least 6 months, shower gel for 3 or 4 months -- I am just really flummoxed that I never knew about this!

Ok -- bed time. Pray for no depression tomorrow.

Hugs,

Sherry

Good work! Maybe you should always shop when you are depressed. (It works for me!) I'm so happy for you. Rebates are definitely a great thing. I'll pray for you right now (11:30 pm - 9/27) - depression is no fun. I hope today is a pleasant one for you. Smile at your kids, give them a hug and kiss. That usually makes me feel better. Take care and God bless.

You are doing a great job with the rebates. I do the same thing with CVS and Walgreens. I need to check out Rite Aid this month. I deal with depression and take an anti-depressant for it. You may not want to do that, so look into taking B6 and B12 supplements (vitamins). That can really help!
