What are fillers at CVS and Walgreens?

2009-10-26T09:53:00.000-07:00

When we talk about "filler's" what does that mean?

Well, at both CVS and Walgreens there are times when your purchase calls for a filler. Interestingly enough it is for different reasons at both stores.

CVS - When you shop at CVS and use Extra Care Bucks (ECB's) they are just like gift cards, you don't get any money back from them. So let's say I have a $5 ECB and my purchase total is $4.50, CVS will NOT be giving me any change back. So if I don't want to 'loose' that .50 cents I can throw in an inexpensive 'filler' item to get my total closer to $5.

I also have used filler items when I am using a CVS $/$$ coupon, like a $5 off a $25 purchase. Let's say my total was $24.20 and I wanted to use that $5 off a $25 purchase I would have to toss in $.80 worth of 'fillers' to get my total high enough to use the $5 off coupon. I always try and toss in something that I need, I like the soap bars, or tissue as fillers because 1. I need them and 2. I won't eat it, it's not junk! Below are a list of fillers you can find at CVS.

CVS Fillers

Purse size tissue packs

CVS Gold Emblem pretzels .50

Caramels by the register .33

CVS brand cough drops 2/99 cents

Dove soap bar .50

Gum

Candy on sale

CVS brand paper towels .99

Picture at the photo lab .29

Now, at Walgreens I use 'fillers' for a totally different reason. The transaction I did earlier today and that is posted below you can see where I used the pudding as 'fillers'. At Walgreens they have Register Rewards that you get for buying certain products. Couponers like myself like to "roll" them onto other purchases. At Walgreens these Register Rewards (RR) are treaded just like manufacturer coupons, so when you check out you can only have the same number of items as you have coupons.

So for example, today I bought 5 packages of toilet paper, I had 5 coupons, but I wanted to use 2 RR that I had to pay for the remainder of the balance on the TP after my coupons. That means they were going to scan 7 coupons total (5 tp coupons and 2 RR coupons) but I only had 5 packages of tp, so I needed to toss in 2 more 'fillers' so I could use those last 2 RR to pay for part of it. Thats why I got the 2 packages of pudding, they were cheap and I needed them anyway and it let me use the $3 and $4 RR. Remember, you have to have the same number of coupons as items scanned at Walgreens.

** Unless of course you are using Walgreens store coupons, they do not count when adding up the number of coupons you can use. See why I think Walgreens is confusing? Don't worry though, we can figure it out!

Walgreens Fillers

Photo lab picture .09

pencils .09

clearance pens .19- .29

Jello or pudding .20 - .39

Travel pack tissues .29

Post cards ( up front by register ) .25

Walgreens 4.5oz soap .39

My sister had a great idea when we were at Walgreen's the other night. She always has her camera with her in her purse and we need some fillers. She can pop the memory card out and run over and make a few quick pictures at $.09 each. Great filler! Any questions feel free to email me and I can try and help you! Mylitter@mac.com

What other 'fillers' do you use??

Walgreens trip October 25th.

2009-10-26T09:39:00.001-07:00

What's with 12 year old boy's?

2009-10-26T09:28:00.000-07:00

Last night we had a birthday party for my Mom at my house. My Mother and my sister in law Tonia share the same birthday, convenient for my brother don't you think?! I have more to write about these two woman later on...

What bother's me though, and maybe all of you that have had 12 year old boy's can help me, what is up with the attitude???

Um, this is pretty much how this child looks 23 hours out of the day.

How long is this going to last?

Aunt Anna tried to be nice, apparently he thought he was going to catch something from her.

Onto happier children with fat eyes...

This poor little guy got stung by a bee yesterday morning and this is what he looked like last night. But is he,

Bored

unhappy

put-out

annoyed

Nooooo, still has a smile on his face when he clearly has reason to be upset. I love toddlers. The 12 year old needs to take a few pointers from the baby!

Any advice on the pre-teen?

24 Hour Giveaway! TWO new board games from Hasbro and MyBlog Spark!

2009-10-26T06:02:00.000-07:00

The kids and I recently had a chance to try out a couple of great new games from the Elefun and Friends line courtesy of My Blog Spark! These are the two games we got to try out:

GIRAFFALAFF LIMBO is the crazy new game of “how low can you go?” Spin the dial to try one of the 6 limbo styles: classic limbo, crab walk, crawl, giraffe walk, bend forward or backward. The game’s built-in sound will play an encouraging song as preschoolers try not to bump into Giraffalaff. If he’s knocked over, he’ll roll on the floor in laughter. The player that passes under Giraffalaff at the lowest level wins.

In SCATTERPILLAR SCRAMBLE kids will do their best to balance marbles in the hands of one very wiggly caterpillar. Kids will have fun dancing along to the music with Scatterpillar in this fast-paced marble game. The first player to securely place all 8 marbles in Scatterpillar’s hands wins. SCATTERPILLARSCRAMBLE was named the 2009 Preschool Game of the Year by Creative Child Magazine.

Although the Giraffalaff was geared more towards the littler kids my bigger ones had a rally fun time with it. It was easy to set up and easy to get the hang of. Paul and I had a good time playing this one with them. I left the assembly to the kids and clean up to the kids also. If I loose the box I am in trouble, the pieces will be used as swords in no time!

Thanks to MyBlog Spark you can try out these games also! One winner will win BOTH games!

To enter this contest, just leave a comment on this post telling me what your favorite game was when you were a child.

Recipes for Pork Loin.

2009-10-25T09:08:00.001-07:00

What to do with all the pork that has been on sale?

Kroger had pork loin for $.99 cents a pound last week and HEB has it this week for the same price, thank goodness it is so versatile that you can do just about anything with it! The following are my families favorite 3 recipes for pork loin. My kids also love each of these recipes.

This is our favorite!

Pulled Pork Sandwiches

1 Pork Loin

1 Bottle Bar B Que Sauce ( I use Sweet Baby Rays)

Little bit of liquid smoke

Rolls

Brown all sides of the roast in some oil in a large pan. Transfer to a crock pot and add about a cup or two of water. Salt and pepper to taste. Cook on high for 4-6 hours until you can pull it apart without effort with a fork. Drain off almost all the liquid, leave about 1 cup add about 1t. liquid smoke to it. Add an entire bottle of B-B-Q sauce, we love Sweet Baby Ray's the best. Stir it into the meat, turn down to low on crock pot and let cook fro another hour or until you are ready to eat. Serve on hard rolls or your favorite kind!

This is a signature recipe of my Sister In Law Tonia!

Chili Verde

This is exactly how my mom gave it to me. I have never used a 3-5 lb pork, mine are usually between 1-3 pds so I only use 1 onion and 1-2 cans of green chili's. I use about 2 tsp of garlic though and I usually skip the searing and make it in the crockpot. About 6 hours on high in a crockpot, 2 1/2-3 hours in a roasting pan, and 1 hour in a pressure cooker.

3-5 lb boneless pork roast
1-3 yellow onions (chopped)
4 cans Ortega chopped green chili's
olive oil
1/4 tsp minced or chopped garlic
(more if you like garlic)
salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbs flour
3/4 cup water

Heat oil in roasting pan and sear meat. Pour 1/2 cup water in bottom of roasting pan. Place in roast, chopped onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover pan and bake at 350 degrees 2 hours or until internal temp. reaches 155 (or meat shreds easily with a fork). Let meat set 1/2 hour and then shred. Set aside.
Take 2 Tbs flour and mix with 1/4 cup water thoroughly (no lumps). Add water to drippings and cook over med heat to make gravy. If desired add more water, flour and (if needed) chicken bouillon for more gravy. Salt to taste. Add green chile's and shredded meat. Serve over rice.
My kids like it with soy sauce and rice. The next day we wrap it in burritos with cheese and sour cream. The burritos are excellent when fried in a pan on both sides, more sauce dumped on top and coated in cheese. (not healthy though). Enjoy!

This is the "fanciest" way we make pork loin!

Tuscan Pork Loin

Ingredients

1 3-pound pork loin, trimmed of fat
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest
3/4 cup dry vermouth or white wine
2 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

Directions

Tie kitchen string around pork in three places so it doesn't flatten while roasting. Place salt and garlic in a small bowl and mash with the back of a spoon to form a paste. Stir in oil, rosemary and lemon zest; rub the mixture into the pork. Refrigerate, uncovered, for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

Place the pork in a roasting pan. Roast, turning once or twice, until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 145 degrees F, 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board; let rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add vermouth (or wine) and vinegar to the roasting pan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove the string and slice the roast. Add any accumulated juices to the sauce and serve with the pork.

Pampered Chef Giveaway Winner!

2009-10-24T12:05:00.000-07:00

We finally drew the name for the winner of The Pampered Chef items! I am the same way as most of you, I have re-gifted a few times mostly baby stuff, I had a 10.8 pounder... and wedding items. We had almost 40 frames. Onto the drawing... Funny enough, the first name the kids drew was their Aunt Anna!! She said,

Um-I'd tell you what I regifted but then you'd know where your presents come from...
just kidding.
I'm too selfish to regift!!! Although I'm pretty sure I've done it.
I follow, I tweet... I stalk!

I made them draw another name! I'll share my PC stuff with her and give her a few razors, she will be happy!

So the next name they drew was...

Katy and Wes!

I hate to admit it but I have regifted before. When we got married we got four really nice sets of knifes and cutting blocks and boards. And it was a very busy weekend. We had 3 friends get married the same weekend as us. So we did keep a couple sets of knifes for us and gave away a couple. Horrible, I know but they were really nice presents!

Email me Katy so I can get your box in the mail!

Walgreens Deals week of 10-25 to 10-31

2009-10-24T11:48:00.000-07:00

Walgreens is the source of much frustration for many people including me. You never know what to expect when checking out, the cashiers and managers are always "making up" new rules when you use coupons. Nothing is ever consistent with them, and their program is confusing to begin with. But even though I swear I will never go back in I always end up back in there trying again. I know many of you only have a Walgreens and so you have no choice but to shop there so I keep trying to do the deals there so I can post them.

My biggest complaint with them is the ability to combine coupons and get back Register Rewards. Check out the Dulcolax FREE after Register Reward advertised on page 16 of the ad in the left column. It shows how you can combine a manufacturer coupons with a Register Reward deal and still GET the Register Reward back! I would save this ad and keep it with you at all times. If you have any cashiers or manager tell you that you cannot use a manufacturer coupon on a Register Reward deal, then just show them this ad. It's proof that you can do so! Yay! Thanks for noticing this AGAIN Collin.

This weeks papers will have 2 inserts the Smart Source and the Red Plum, coupons vary by region. You can go HERE to see what coupons will be in the paper. Looks like I will only be getting 6 papers this week.

Fun announcement!

2009-10-23T11:01:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago I saw a little blurb, I can't even remember where, looking for Dealpro's.

"A DealPro is someone who is passionate about finding deals and coupons. Their money-saving advice is sought after by their friends and family. A DealPro thrives off sharing their saving savvy with with others. Does this sound like you? If so, you’re who we’re looking for."

So I applied, imagine my surprise when I was one of the 30 hand picked attendees!

I have been invited to attend a really neat "gathering of like-minded savers" in a few weeks, sponsored by savings.com in San Francisco! This is what they were looking for,

Attendees will include 30 – 40 handpicked DealPros™, each one an influential expert in smart shopping, with his or her own sphere of influence within the consumer community online – whether it’s through blogs, Twitter, online forums, traditional news media or a combination thereof.

Can you believe it?! I am soooo excited! Today they posted the list of the other Dealpro's and I am so thrilled to be included. Some of the other bloggers I have stalking, I mean following for a long time and never expected to have the chance to meet them! I can't wait for the chance to learn what is new and upcoming for the blog and online saving's world.

*A side note... Does anyone want to send me their cell phone number, so I can give it to Paul, who might be calling at 2 a.m. for HELP! Just kidding, he should be fine. The children however, will be stoned from all the sugar and fast food that I am sure they will consume while I am gone. The last time he was left in charge, the 3 year old decided to play beauty school and cut everyones hair...
