Some Free Groceries at Target

Monday was a really nice sunny(but cold as heck!)day.  Hubs and I felt like getting out of the house so we went into the city to Target.
And yet again, there was a problem at Target.
Am I a jinx or what?? lolz

They have a "Spend $25 on drinks/Get a $10 Gift Card" Deal this week and we were running low on seltzer and water so we decided to stock up a bit.

I got..........
3 x cases Water $1.69 each
4 x Bubly seltzer packs 3/$10
3 x Diet Pepsi 6-pack bottles on sale $2.50 each
SubTotal....$25.89 so qualified for the $10 GC
I also have 2 x $1/2 Bubly peelie Qs I used.

But for some reason(evident later, read on)the $10 GC prompt didn't come up on the cashier's screen and we had to call for manager approval for the GC Deal.

We also picked up all this........

6 x Hershey's Gold bags
These were 30% off on a Cartwheel offer(but only 4 items qualified, which I didn't realize until we got home)so I got the sale price of $3.33 on 2, $2.33 Cartwheel price on 4.  I used 6 x $2/1 IPQs so $3.98 for all 6 bags.

2 x Quaker Pumpkin spice oatmeal boxes on clearance.  The sticker was $2.20 but they rang up $1.28 each box.  I used a $1/2 Quaker TearpadQ so $1.56 for both boxes.

1 x Dunkin Donuts peppermint chocolate coffee on clearance.  The sticker was $5.08 but it rang up $2.98.  nice.

2 x Head & Shoulders white charcoal conditioner bottles on clearance of $2.98 each.  I used a $5/2 H&S ManuQ so .96¢ for both bottles.  8-)

Hubs also bought 2 cans of Market Pantry coffee for $5.38.
My total should have been $58.75-$20 in Qs=$38.75 + tax.

But it was $42.65+ tax.
So I looked over the receipt and instead of 3 cases of bottled water at $5.07 total there was something called "AF Snacking" on the receipt, 3 x for $8.97 total!!

Over at CS they pulled up the code AF Snacking and it was for Dark Chocolate covered Almonds, of which I had gotten none.
WTF?!?

So we returned the "phantom" nuts I bought and rerang the water I DID buy which lowered my total by $3.90(difference between phantom nuts and water bottles).
So OOP finally was $38.75 + .59¢ tax=$39.34 .  Reg. retail price for all this was $79.79.
I paid with a free with c/c points Target card and received a $10 Target GC back so actually only "spent" $29.34 of my free GC.

Since the water wasn't seen as being rung up that explains why the Spend $25/Get $10 GC Deal didn't trigger because I "only" had bought $20.82 of drinks(when I had really bought $25.89 worth of drinks).

In the end I spent Zero OOP and made that free Target GC money stretch even further using sales, clearance, a Cartwheel offer, a Gift Card Deal and coupons.
I was happy those clearance prices on the coffee and the oatmeal were even lower than marked on the packages. ;-)

But it always seems to be something messed up when I shop at Target....let's call it the Sluggy Jinx. lolz

Just another reason to double check your receipts before leaving the store when you shop!  I am 7 times out of 10 finding errors on receipts and that adds up fast to losing unnecessary money in your budget!!!

Random Stuff from Chez Sluggy

*  First a weather report from Teeny Tiny Town..........

It was 1F in the car this morning.

Weather dotcom says it's going to climb to a balmy 19F today before diving to -5F tonight.
Yay! *snort*

*  If you want to know why we were out in the insanely cold weather this morning, I had to go get my driver's license renewed.  Well I had to go have my photo taken for the license.  I was going to do it earlier in the month except our DMV was closed until Jan. 24th for renovations.  Um, other than moving a kiosk I didn't see any improvements in the building. lolz   So I am forced to go out in this yuck because it has to get done before Feb. 1st or there will be complications like Hubs having to drive me around everywhere and that's not happening. ;-)

*  Last week we had a deathly cold day, so cold that Chester refused to go outside.  Poor baby was trying to lift all 4 paws off the ground at the same time it was so cold on his feet.
Hubs ran right out and got him a pair of booties...........

They didn't have straps so we had to use rubber bands to keep them on his feet.  He kept them on long enough to do his business and then tried to tear them off. lolz

*  About Linda......I had a call from her earlier this week.  She got the money together to get a new laptop but what she wanted was out of stock so it's been ordered.  Linda should be back online in a week or two?  I am just guessing on this but it sounds plausible.  ;-)

*  About Sonya Ann.....she is finally divorced and all the martial assets have been untangled so she has no ties to the Asshole(as we call him)anymore.  She moved last Spring out West, in with her daughter.  The house daughter bought was a clusterf*ck so it's been a whole different kind of stress living there but.........Sonya has moved to a place of her own as of last week and is enjoying the peace and quiet.  She's now at a place where she can heal emotionally and physically.  It's been a very long, rough journey since October 2017 but she is on the mend now.  I know she is in a better place in her own head because she tortured me yesterday with a text that it was 65F where she is living...the stinker!! ;-)

*  I finally jumped through all the hoops to sent for that P&G Beauty $15 Rebate Visa that ran from late Oct. until Dec. 31st of 2018(Your envie has to be postmarked by Jan 31st 2019).
Man, the crap you need to do and send to qualify for the rebate is such a hassle!!  It's hardly worth doing them anymore.  I have backed up my submission with copies in case they deny the rebate(which they did once to me a few years back which made me stop even submitting for these rebates).  If this one gets denied I am so over P&G!

*  Here one of the more innane ads I got in the mail end of 2018........

A handbag with my initials in a Louis Vuitton pattern.  Done is genuine imitation leather *snort*.  The purse if 14" wide and 10" tall and comes with a goldtone keychain with my name on it.
Only $139 + shipping and handling of gosh knows how much.  I rarely spent more than $20 for a purse......
What a bargain!  How can I refuse. 8-)))

*  Neither of my $20 Rite-Aid cards I sent for have arrived yet from the "Spend $50/Get a $20 R-A card Deal" earlier this month.  Anybody else get them yet??


*  I was looking at the fridge magnet Kim sent me for Xmas.  It's one of those vintage women scenes with a sarcastic caption...........

I think I am offended..........Kim called me a ham face!?!?

*  I am getting ready to do our end of the month finances.  I don't think my piggy bank will be happy when it's all written out......
There is always next month, right?

*  Strange fortune cookie fortune I got recently........

*  I have so much to do before Friday and it's not all going to get done.  I just can't seem to get my brain organized lately.
It might have something to do with weening myself off the crazy pill I take.  I need to get off this one for awhile to see if these tremors are related or not and have some testing done.

*  We got the reimbursement from the medical account(that pays our healthcare premiums)and it was $12.60 short.  Another phone call to those idiots and some one didn't included the vision part that we paid.  I just wish people could do their job and not cause issues for customers. ugh.

*  I got a lovely spam comment on my Birthday.  Letting me know all about a great moneymaking opportunity if I work for live girls dotcom doing webcam porn I could make up to $5K a month in my spare time.
Seriously?!  Nobody wants to look at this 60 year old body nekkid.......


*  I'll close with a gratuitous photo of Chester........

He has three beds....well 2 beds and a piece of fabric we call the Ex-Bed because he tore it up and pulled all the stuffing out.
Anyway, the brown fuzzy bed we call "the Girlfriend" because that's the bed he humps.  The grey bed is the one he got for Xmas this year.  He will carry the "Girlfriend" and try to put it into the grey bed and then have sex with the "Girlfriend".  It's hysterical to watch.  Kim's sister enjoyed watching Chester try to do this, especially since he didn't get the Girlfriend in correctly and his leg was on the laminate flooring while he was "going at it" so he had no traction.  Oh, it's just a three ring circus around here sometimes..........lolz

What's been happening at your place?

The Deals I Got Last Week-Mostly Weis/Some Ollie's

I sure spent a LOT of $$$ last week on groceries but I got some nice deals.......

*  Goldfish crackers are .99¢ a bag if you buy 3 at a time at Weis now.
 I bought 2 Hershey Gold candy bars for $1 each, used a .75¢/2 Q which doubled to $1.50 off so         .50¢ total OOP for 2 bars.
 The Gatorade protein bar was free after a Free Catalina Q the machine spit out on a previous visit       to Weis.

*  These cleaners were $1.97 each when you bought any combination of 3.  I used 2 x .50¢/1 Qs for    the Fantastik and the Scrubbing Bubbles that doubled to $1 off.  I also had a .75¢/1 Windex Q that      doubled to $1.50 so it was $2.41 total for all 3 or .80¢ each(plus 1¢).

*  I got 2 Chi-Chi's salsa on Fantastic Friday sale for $1.25 each so $2.50 .  I used a $1/2 Chi-Chi's IPQ so $1.50 for both.  The Chi-Chi's flour tortillas were in the ad for 2/$4 but our store had them on special for $1.89(which  was a better price).  I bought 2 bags of tortillas and used a $1/2 Chi-Chi's IPQ so those were $1.39 each.
The new Foldable flour tortillas had a .55/1 Q on the packages so I got two of those as well.  The Q doubled to $1.10 off so these were .79¢ per packages.

*  Also on Fantastic Friday the Herr's corn tortilla chips were Buy One Get Two Free so $4.29 for 3 bags or $1.43 per bag.  I bought 6 bags of these total.
Ex-College Boy goes through a LOT of these chips so I am glad to stock up on them when I can(and I'll hide them from him so I can control how fast they get consumed).

*  As part of Weis(PMITA)Markets new pricing deals lots of Weis brand products(and some produce)is now lower priced when you buy in groups of 3.
Among those deals is Weis brand mac and cheese boxes.....29¢ each wyb3.  Buy less at a time and they are .69¢ each.

*  The Old El Paso items were on sale 4/$5.  When you bought 4 in a single transaction you got a free 16 oz. Weis sour cream.  I had a $1/2 Old El Paso digital Q attached to my card so all 5 items cost me $4 OOP.

*  Ragu pasta sauce was on sale for 3/$5($1.67 each).  I had 8 .75¢/1 Ragu Simply Qs that doubled to $1.50 so the sauce cost me .17¢ per jar.
I bought 4(only 4 like Qs will double per transactions)and went back later in the week and bought 4 more.

*  Chobani yogurts were .87¢ each last week.  I bought 5 and used a $1/5 ManQ so $3.35 for 5.  I went back again and bought 5 more using another $1/5 ManQ.

*  I bought 8 more Hershey's Gold bars using 4 more .75¢/1 Qs which doubled to $1.50/1 so $2 spent on 8 bars or .25¢ per bar.

*  I bought 2 dozen Eggland's best using a $1/2 ManQ.  They were on sale for $1.77 each so these cost me $1.27 each dozen after sale/Q.  That was the best price for eggs here last week and we were low.
*  I also found some dog treats on clearance for half price plus I used my free Purina dog food can Q.

*  Another Fantastic Friday deal was Reynolds Foil for $2.99.  I bought 2 and I had a $1/1 Digital Q attached to my card which came off so $4.98 for both.

*  When I took Kim and her Sissie to Ollie's I found these large cans of mushrooms.  With my 15% off Q they were $1.10 each.

*  These corn tortillas were $1 each.  I bought 4 and used 2 x $1/2 Chi-Chi's IPQ making them .50¢ per package.
They also had deli-sliced provolone cheese for $4 per lb.  This usually costs between $6-$8 here at the deli so I got 2 lbs.

*  The best deal I got was Bella wet dog food trays.  They were on clearance 1/2 off for .40¢ each.
I bought 24 trays and used 2 x $5/12 Bella IPQ.....$9.60-$10.00= -$.40.  The second $5 off Q wouldn't scan so the cashier manually pushed it through.  I was confused why as I had plenty of other items the overage should have attached to.  After shoppping I looked at my receipt and for some reason I also had a $2.50/6 Bella digital Q attached to my card.  That explains why the second $5 Q wouldn't scan, because I didn't buy 30 Bella trays.  So I paid -$2.90 for all 24 trays.  8-)))

I also got a lot of fresh and frozen produce last week(on sale and/or in season stuff), some soda(3 6-packs for $1.87 each) and a few meat deals.
I spent a lot more than I planned last week but I got quite a few good buys. 8-)

Frugal Friday......the January 25th Edition

Another week, a few more frugal things.
Here's the skinny on what went down last week.........

*  I found .02¢ last Friday at Weis(PMITA)Markets.

Then I got too much  change at Mickey D's on Saturday when Kim had to make a Diet Coke run. 

My change should have been .15¢ but the gal gave me .20¢ back.  I had shoved it into my coat pocket and didn't look at it under we got home so I am counting that extra nickel as found money! 8-)

I made another trip to Weis on Tuesday and found more money!

A dime under the bubble gum machines.  Luckily I had my cane with me to retrieve the coin and didn't have to resort to crawling under the machines. lolz
That makes .17¢ for the week. ;-)


*  I got the Friday Freebie at Weis.......

a container of oatmeal.  I consider this a good freebie.  And it actually rung up correctly too for a change.

*  I used my free Purina dog food coupon they sent me........


*  I spent A LOT of money on groceries at Weis this past week.  We're talking $200 worth. Ouch. But I'd rather pay $200 and get good deals we'll use than wait and pay $300 later buying this stuff at regular price.

Last Friday's trip was a mangled mess though.  4 of my Qs wouldn't scan so the cashier manually put them in.....and didn't double them.

So I had to go over to CS and get $3 back.  I wanted her to put a credit on my c/c but she gave me cash before I could say something.

Then I went over my receipt and found the organic pear halves on clearance rang up full price.  So I had to go back in with the pears and receipt, take a photo of the shelf tag and get a refund from CS.
One can was free($1.97 back)and the other can I got the .99¢ I overpaid back so $2.96 went back on my c/c this time.

*  I had a free lunch on Thursday.

I have a Red Robin loyalty club thing so I get a free burger during my birthday month.  I had water w/lemon to drink so my meal was totally FREE(except for leaving the tip-I used some of my WAM for that).  I had an old Red Robin gift card so paid for Hubs meal with that.

*  I paid the garbage bill last week.  If it's paid in full before January is over you get a free month of service.  Hey!, $28 saved is $28 saved.  8-)))

What frugal wins did y'all have this past week?
Let us know how you stay frugal......

That Was the Weekend That....What?!?! Part Two

So I was surprised on Friday night by Kim and her Sissie coming to PA for my Birthday Dinner.

Hubs and Kim hatched this little plot unbeknownst to me......the rats! lolz

So bright and early on Saturday morning I gave Kim a call.  The forecast was looking bad so she said to come down to Wilkes-Barre to meet them for breakfast at the Perkins.

By the time I got there Kim had obviously had a Diet Coke otherwise there would have been blood on the sand.
They had been waiting 40 minutes for a table at Perkins.  Only 2 waitresses had shown up for the morning shift that day and no hostess so Sissie had given their name to one of the waitresses but evidently it was the wrong waitress because the other waitress was "running the show" and the waitress they gave their name to never told the other waitress.....meaning while I was there for another 20 minutes waiting everybody supposedly behind us in line got seated and we still were waiting.   Kim grabbed a job application sitting out by the register and started filing it in.

On the question about have you ever been convicted of a crime, she put, "No.......but I am about to commit murder if we don't get the next table.".
Her other answers where just as wacky......

Here we are after getting waited on, a beverage of choice and a tummy full of pancakes.

It was about check-out time when we finished eating.  The forecast had changed a bit so they had to decide whether to stay another night and leave early Sunday or try to out run the storm Saturday.
The snow wasn't suppose to start until 2pm so I said they should check-out and stay at our house so we could have a pajama party that night and then they could leave on Sunday.

After a brief consultation they agreed so I drove up to the motel and waited on them to check out and load their car.
I then scooped them up into the purple Sonic and we took off to go do some girl-time shopping.

But not just any shopping.  Sissie had never been to Ollie's(Good Stuff Cheap!)and Kim was ready to go back after I took her there in October.

So Ollie's it was.  Better still I had a 15% off Coupon for Ollie's that they had mailed to me so we filled up two carts of goodies, used the coupon and my c/c and divvied up who owed what later that night.

Then I took them to see something I had wanted to take Kim to the last time she was here.  Better still Sissie was a professional/opera singer in her youth so the excursion seemed even more apropos now.

Don't let it ever be said that Sluggy doesn't know how to treat company.
No sirree!

I took them to the cemetery......

But not just any cemetery!
Sluggy knows all the happening places. lolz

The Hollenback Cemetery in Wilkes-Barre PA.

An interesting memorial to Dr. John T. Doyle and both his wives.

The front gates were locked however, but as we drove by Sissie spied a driveway in on the side so I turned around and we went in that way. 

This entrance was to a different section or as Sissie said, "It might be unhallowed ground."  There was an old iron barred fence separating the two graveyards and the roads in this one were barely deer paths and the old dead weeds were overgrown and tall, like this section wasn't kept up.  We saw that one section of the iron fence had been torn open so we parked the car right there and walked into the nicely kept up graveyard with asphalted roads.

Lots of Bowmans here......might be related?!?

And just whom did we climb through gopher holes and climb up the face of a cliff to see?
This lady..........

Narcissa Florence Foster

Known to the world as Florence Foster Jenkins dubbed the "World's Worst Opera Singer".

She was portrayed in film a couple of years ago by Meryl Streep..........



Florence Foster Jenkins was born and raised and then buried in Wilkes-Barre, PA.

Her life is the tragic tale of a musical child prodigy(Florence was a pianist who performed at the White House for Rutherford B. Hayes),from a prominent Wilkes-Barre family, who's father forbade her from becoming a performer, so she ran away at age 17, married a "doctor" in Philadelphia who gave her syphilis on her wedding night.  She supported herself by giving piano lessons until her father died in 1909.

Florence and her mother, coming into a lot of money at Charles Dorrance Foster's death moved together to Manhattan to live the life of wealthy socialites and pursue her dream of a career in music.

Florence founded a society music lovers club, The Verdi Club, which gave recitals and performances, of which Florence would often cast herself in the primary role.

She met and fell in love with St. Clair Bayfield, an Englishman who fancied himself a high brow actor, and he managed her performances and financial affairs.
Florence died in 1944 within a month of a benefit performance at Carnegie Hall for US servicemen.

It is debated whether Florence had no musical ability or if the syphilis and the treatment for it(mercury and arsenic)led to physical problems so she couldn't hear how badly she was off-pitch, etc.

I stole this shot off of F.A.G. since the mausoleum was locked and I couldn't get a clear shot at the marble marker.
I left 3 stones on the pillar next to the mausoleum to let Florence know we had been there.

I need to do a little more research but I am pretty sure the Florence's mother, Mary Jane Hoagland Foster might be related to Kim's Hubbie!! lolz  Maybe Joe's bum ear is hereditary Kim...... ;-)

After that since nothing was happening with the weather the girls wanted to hit up the Salvation Army store for some silver to use at the reception for Kim's daughter's wedding this Summer.  No luck there but Sissie and I found a couple of things.  ;-)

Still nothing on the weather front so I took them across the road to Gabe's which isn't quite an Ollie's but a store in that ilk.  They were game so we wandered around that store for awhile and everybody found a couple of treasures.

I did leave this lovely faux lavender alligator purse at the store though........

I found these signs that really were appropriate to the person holding them.....*snort*


As we headed out of Gabe's the snow had just started falling so we headed up the mountain to home.
A quick stop for gas(and Kim's Diet Coke for later),and once in my tiny town another stop at Curry Donuts(where Kim found some change while she distracted me and Sissie!)and yet another stop at Mickey D's(for 'fresh' Diet Coke), then a brain fart when I tried to get home via a closed bridge road LOL and we finally got to the house.

After gorging on donuts and dinner(well, some of us had dinner!)everyone snuggled up in the den to watch a little tv.
The local PBS station shows Lawrence Welk at 7 pm and then a show called "The Pennsylvania Polka"at 8.  That show is basically a bunch of old people at the PBS studio at the local casino polka-ing to a live polka band.  A solid hour of watching senior citizens try to polka.

Chester made himself at home in Sissie's lap....well, she was in his chair after all. lolz

Last time here, Kim was mesmerized by that show and she drew her Sissie into it's evil web too on Saturday.  I told her had it not been snowing and treacherous outside I could have driven them up to the casino to be on the show themselves. lolz

Sissie got the bed pallets sorted out in the living room and turned in early.  Kim and I talked a little then she hit the hay as well.

Before I knew it Kim was popping her head into the bedroom to wake me up the next morning.  They wanted to get an early start before the rain turned into something worse.  I was hoping we'd all be snowed in for another day as I so much fun with those two! *sad face*

Hugs goodbye and they were off like the wind and I worried until I got the text that they got in aok to Sissie's house.

What an unexpected surprise for my birthday.....so fun!!!
Thanks ladies!
