Laura's AMAZING Febreze House Party!




My mother in law was chosen to host a "house party" for the new Febreze lines. Arthur and I, as well as a wonderful lady from Laura's church and daughter came. House party sent her a huge box full of new scents and items to try!
Laura made some amazing finger snacks - fruit - veggies - and some delightful dips :)
The second to last picture is of all the freebies I got to come home with :) YAY!!!!
I was really surprised with the new products Febreze came out with! I love love love the Pomegranate Mango scent! I think the new flameless luminary "candle" is amazing! The shades hold all the scent and its batter operated candle flicker means its safe to leave on, and safe to be around my pup!
I have already put the flameless luminary and reed diffuser to good use :)
Thanks Momma Bear for inviting us to the event! We had a wonderful time, and I have put in my application for quite a few House Parties, and will make sure you can come if I'm chosen!

The sale that I THOUGHT was happening on the men's wash was Buy one for $5.99, get a RR for $5.99 (making it free), and the tag did say so - BUT.... it had fine print saying that it doesn't start until tomorrow.

I received a 10$ RR for buying 3 nutrogena products (remember I only bought 3 things @ 2.46 each) so Just in that I made $2.62!

I waited for my $5.99 RR to print for the body wash, and it didn't. So the Cashier handed me back my coupon to take to the manager for a return - I figured oh well, I'd come back tomorrow and buy it over. The manager said that I could just come in tomorrow after 2pm and she would print off my RR for me. (SO..... i got back my coupon - LOL - GUESS WHO'S BUYING ANOTHER MEN'S BODY WASH???)

Ok, so
My total spent:$6.40

So really....
I MADE $2.59!!!

Stopped at walgreens today to attempt to roll over some of my register rewards from last week.

I went to the Complete contact solution website and printed a 2$ off coupon from there (only to find out it was not the right one, and I should have looked in my RP from 5/16 - the website was a larger size) Oh well!

1st order :
*the cashier messed up and charged me twice for the headband*

1 Headband flexi tip $2.99
1 Scrubbing bubbles continuous sprayer $7.99
1 m&m peanut (filler sounded good)
and ugg
1 Headband flexi tip $2.99
------------------------------
had $5.00 coupon for the scrubbing bubbles
and used 2 $4.50 RR from previous trip.
(I didnt catch the second headband until later)
--------------------------------
total $1.80
Received $3 RR from headband (yes only one because they wont allow multiple items for same printed RR) and a $2 RR from scrubbing bubbles.



Order 2:

1 complete multi contact solution (giving to Muffin's cousin)
1 m&m peanut (one for me, one for muffin, let's be fair)

Used $4.50 RR from previous trip, and the 3$ one I got from first order
*the cashier actually handed me back my 3$RR - she seemed all flustered. lol* (saving that one!)

total $1.92

Received $8 RR from contact solution.


Walked out to car - looked over receipts - noticed my double charged headband and walked back in.
$3.19 being refunded to my visa.

so.... hmm lets figure this one out.

total one should have been around
$14.91 - i spent $1.80 cash, and $9.00 in RRs (and that $5 coupon)
Got back a $3, and a $2 RR.

and total two should have been
$9.42 - I spent $1.92 in cash, and $7.50 in RRs.
got back $8 RR (and some how my $3 RR lol)

Then refunded that $3.19.

So cash Out of pocket = $0.53 :)

and spent $16.50 in RRs, only to get back $13.

Hope i didnt lose everyone.

It wasn't as easy of a trip to describe as it usually is.
so hmm makes me down the 53 cents, and (16.50-13 in RR) 3.50 in RRs.
NOT BAD!!!
