Titanium rings: wedding bands and more, only $9.99... down from $225!

Any of you about to get married and looking for a HOT deal on wedding bands? Or perhaps your hubby has lost his wedding band and you need a replacement? Or you think he might someday lose it and want a back up at an awesome price? Or just like really nice jewelry at a super cheap price? :-)

This deal definitely caught my eye. Titanium rings (lots of styles to choose from!) on Amazon for only $9.99! These rings retail for $225! This is the type of wedding band my husband has, and it is really nice and a super strong metal.

AWESOME week at Walgreens!

WOW! There are some FANTASTIC deals going on at Walgreens this week! Here's what I was able to score today:

Purchased:

(5) Bottles All laundry detergent @ $3.50

(6) Triaminic Thin Strips @ $5.00

(4) Hershey's Holiday Kisses @ $2.5

(3) Skippy Peanut Butter @ $1.50

(2) Ragu @ $1.50

(1) Renu Contact Solution @ $9.99

(1) Toddler t-shirt clearanced to $1.74

(3) Touch of Gray hair color clearanced to $1.74

Total before coupons: $78.47

Coupons used:

(5) $2/1 All detergent

(6) $3/1 Triaminic

(1) $.75/2 Ragu

(3) $.40/1 Skippy

(1) B3G1 free Hershey's

$2/1 Walgreens Triaminic

(1) $5 RR from previous weeks at Walgreens

Total spent out of pocket: $26.oo + 6.69 tax = $32.69

RRs spent: $5

Total RRs received back: $52

= I got all of this free after RRs, plus left with a PROFIT OF $14.31!

The sweetest of these deals were the Spend $25 (before coupons!) Get $5 RR promotion (I did three transactions, so go $15 back in RRs from this), PLUS I just happened to find the Touch of Gray hair color on the clearance aisle for only $1.74, but it still produced the $7 RR for the sale on that product this week!

I could have made much, much more profit with all the great deals this week, but I decided to go for several items that weren't necessarily free, but that my family really needed, like the detergent and the PB and Spaghetti sauce. Also, I forgot to hand the cashier the Walgreens Triaminic coupon on the first transaction, so that cost me $4 that I could have saved, but I was still happy with my end results. If you want to see how the pros are working the deals this week, check out heather's post here. She has a scenario for spending only $11.37 out of pocket and getting back $25 in RRs (profit of $13.69 not including tax)!
