Got a shoprite by me they had no marcal tp. Beach what is the cottonelle deal? Got some q's maybe this works in place of the marcal could you repeat it for me? My crs and the first day of my new second job (or third job if you count the munchkins at home) are making my brains scrambled. If you look at the that is Buy 6 get $5. It lists items including single rolls of Marcal Small steps TP and Marcal tissues. The TP deal is, Buy 4 marcal TP for $3.00 Buy 2 marcal tissues @0.96 each total $1.98Total is $4.98 and get a $5 cat back. Which means it is free TP. You can do up to 4 deals at a time but the TP must be in multiples of 4 to get that price and the tissues you can only buy 4. In that deal though you can also get other items to do that deal. The best link I saw was www.livingrichwithcoupons.com/2011/07/shoprite-dollar-days-deals-731-86.htmlHope it helps. ETA the above assumes you don't have any coupons for anything. If you have any coupons it can even be a MM.

My crs and the first day of my new second job (or third job if you count the munchkins at home) are making my brains scrambled. I'm an idiot. I must have marcal on the brain at this point since I totally misread you post. The cottonelle is the buy 4 get $5 that includes cottonell double roll 12 packs. If you buy 4 at $6 each you get both the $5 cat from shoprite but also 2 $3.50 cats from cottonelle for a total of $12 in cats. Making them $3 each. If you have 4 coupons it can be $2 each. ;D

Beach : thank you so much and no i'm lucky I remember my own name so I need all the help I can get. And you have been a great help. Without the help of you all I could not save as much as I do.

Dancinmama: Your chicken recipe sounds very good--something akin to a tuna casserole except with chicken, right? ;D I make a really good Asian chicken salad which is pretty inexpensive. Here goes: 1 pkg. Mann's broccoli slaw (I've found this at Raley's==usually @ .98 pkg and I buy when I have $1/2 peelies) 2 c. cooked/diced chicken (no skin) 1 c. diced mango 1/2 c. green pepper (or whatever color you like) 1/2 c. slivered almonds The dressing is:1/4 c. each rice vinegar, sweet chili sauce (found in Asian food aisle) 1 tbsp. each: soy sauce (I use the lower sodium kind) and sesame oil Mix everything together, chill for 15-20 minutes and enjoy! It's so yummy served with french bread. If you don't want to buy premade Sweet Chili Sauce for this, I have tried this recipe and it is fantastic. WARNING: The smell is ATROCIOUS. It smells like you stuck fish in rotten tennis shoes and let them sit in the sun for weeks. You need to open a window when you make it, but the taste is amazing. Prep Time: 2 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Total Time: 17 minutesYield: Makes 1/2 Cup of Sauce Ingredients: •1/2 cup rice vinegar (or substitute white vinegar) •1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. white sugar •1/4 cup water •3 Tbsp. fish sauce •2 Tbsp. sherry (or cooking sherry) •3 cloves garlic, minced •1/2 to 1 Tbsp. dried crushed chili (1 Tbsp. makes spicy-hot sauce) •1+1/2 Tbsp. cornstarch dissolved in 3-4 Tbsp. cool

I also wanted to inquire if anyone was happy with the Aveeno Naturals shampoo/conditioners? I bought 2 or 3 sets when there was a sale. I can't stand them. I will be washing the puppies with them, but I wanted to see if anyone else had opinions on them?

Thanks beachbum. I will try buying 2 cottonelle tomorrow to see if it works. For me it would be $12 - $2 ecoupon = $10 - $3.50 cat = $6.50 ÷ 2 = $3.25 each. I may have an IP also. Need to check.

DH and I just got back from a Doobie Brothers concert. They were wonderful. The warm up band featured Tom Johnston's daughter. It was an awesome night!! ;D

Forgot to mention, on the way to the concert I got to stop at an out of town CVS. I got (2) rain checks for the Skinny Cow and was able to pick up more free GE chips. Those $2 off GE chips, pretzels, etc. CRTs are spitting out every day. There are bags that are $1. I grab (2) of them and get them for free. I like them because they are smaller bags that I can give DH when he wants chips (after I snag a few, that is ;D ).

I didn't get any of the Naturals though so I can't comment about them.

I don't like the price, even with coupons, but it really works well. This shampoo, ugh! Terrible.

I tried it a long time ago, when it first came out, a couple years ago maybe. It was when I first started seriously couponing. I bought it at CVS so I returned it. It was awful...

Got the 3/$5 Skippy PB and used a $0.50 from the machine and the $1 MC. $3.51 for three PBs....ok...not stellar, but ok....Should be proud that I ventured outside of RA! Got a $3/$10 that expires today! Of course....any suggestions on how to use this?

You can buy 2 Revlon nail or lip items for 5.79 each, use the 3/10, 2 $1/1 MC's from a few weeks ago, spend $6.58 and get $6 EB's back. Almost free, better if you have EB's to roll into it.

I like the Aveeno line of shampoos, since they seem to be the only shampoo/conditioner, that do not make my hair dry. Everything else, including all the free pantene, makes my hair stand up like I put my head in a socket.

I will be washing the puppies with them, but I wanted to see if anyone else had opinions on them? I just finished a bottle of the shampoo. It was fine for me. I am kind of particular about conditioner, but I can pretty much use any shampoo and I don't notice much difference. Maybe those in Shoprite-land didn't get the coupon, but we got $1/1 any marcal in last weekend's RP. Could make the CAT deal even better.

saveinla- I told you about putting your head in the socket.... Have you tried any of the newer Pert? I know - mizbear . I think it's part of the growing old or going through mental pause. My skin and hair feel drier than normal . I feel bloated all the time and I really don't like this at all. I am 42 and my ob gyn thinks that I am crazy that I think I am going through it. She said that they will not even test me until I am 45, but I am going to insist on that when I see her next (which will be in Jan 2012). Or maybe I can get my primary to sneak it in with my other blood tests that I am due for. Anyone else has this issue or is this just a part of growing old?

I will be 35 in Sept and have some of the issues from time to time that come with peri-mentalpause- including the hot flashes, bloating, difficulty losing weight (regardless of what I eat), hair loss on my head, hair gain on my chin- etc etc etc. I am even still on BC. Not that it matters... My primary thinks that with the other gyn probs I have had I could be going into "the change early"- my gyn thinks my body is just being finicky.
Great- I go from being a Bear to a cat every time I see that guy.

Meijers is having their GM cereal today and tomorrow BOGOF. I got 2 boxes of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and paid $.89 OOP after doubling a $.50 MQ and a $1.00 catalina on cereal.
Savein: Caffein causes me to have hot flashes. I have one of those little tiny fans by my desk at work to cool me off.

My daughter's hair is on the oily side,my hair dresser told me to buy her volumizing shampoo, I guess I need to start looking at the ad's and see what I can find for cheap. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.

You didn't get the coupon or need more? Usually it's no problem because all the gals are more than willing to pitch in and help a fellow hound in need!! ;D I'm glad it worked out for you.

As you age, your skin and hair ARE going to be dryer. In the past (for me), bloating has only been associated with the menstrual cycle. EVERY PERSON, however, is different.

EVERY PERSON, however, is different. dancinmama, Due to issues with cysts and endometriosis, for the past 10 years I have been on a birth control patch, so no period issues so far. I think I may have to consider it a fact of just getting older and start taking my vitamins regularly. Thanks rubyslippers for the fan idea. My boss 5 years ago used to have a fan like that. I don't have hot flashes yet, but I am always hot.
