You'll never see me heading out of a store with four cases of Gulden's Spicy Mustard, even if they ARE free, but I do pride myself on being a pretty decent Moderate Couponer. (no extreme here.) Here's a lowdown of my expeditions this week.
WALGREENS
(3) packages of Twizzlers. On sale for $1.50 each, and I had a manufacturer's coupon(hereby known as MC) for $1 off three. Total Cost (hereby known as TC) $1.15 each, and a $1 Register Reward (RR).
Cottonelle wipes, pack of 42. Regular price $3.99. Priced at $1.99 with a Walgreens coupon, and I had a MC for $1.00. TC 99 cents.
(3) bottles of Gillette Men's Bodywash, 16 oz each. Regular price $4.99. I had a raincheck on these from last week's sale, for $2.99 each. I also had three MC for $2.00 each. TC 99 cents each.
Baking soda, regular price $1.29, priced at 50 cents with a Walgreens coupon, TC 50 cents.
Ponds Facial Cleansing Cloths, pack of 30. Regular price $6.99, on sale for $5.99, and I had a MC for $1.25. TC $4.74. I need these for my upcoming trip to Vegas so that I don't have to pack liquid face wash.
Finesse Shampoo and Conditioner regular cost $3.99, buy one get one free promotion. I had two MCs for $1.00 off. TC $2. I also have two mail in rebates for $2 each, so I will actually make $2 off this deal! It's this sort of thing that thrills me. And I LOVE Finesse!
Sally Hansen Hard as Nails nail polish, regular price $3.99, on clearance for $1.69, and I had a MC for $1.00 off. TC 69 cents.

Welcome to Madelyn Sue
Welcome to my blog.
Why "Madelyn Sue"? My middle name is Susan, and when I was little, my mom would sing "Madelyn Sue, I love you, Madelyn Sue, my honey-poo!" (Awwwwwwwww, I know, right?)
I'm anxious to start posting and see where this takes me. I know that I will be posting about money-saving deals, using coupons, and keeping to a budget. I also hope to post some product reviews and giveaways, and who knows, maybe I'll show you some of my photography every now and then.
This isn't my first blog. I got burned out on my last one, yet I really, really want to have one. So hopefully this fresh start will help me to post more often.
So pass this link along so that you aren't the only one reading (that would be sad, wouldn't it?) and congratulations on being one of my very first readers!
