Hot Toys R Us deals I found yeserday!

Toys R Us has some great sales going on, and I had to use my Rewards from Christmas time as they expire tomorrow the 28th!

I had $25 in Rewards to use and I found some great stuff too! If you don't have a Rewards R Us Card I would definitely recommend getting one, they are free and you can get them at any Toys R Us store. They offer bonus coupons & rewards coupons (which is money back from your previous purchases), perfect if you shop there at Christmas like I do! You can go HERE for more information.

Here are a few deals I found yesterday:

I was able to score all of this Kung Zhu merchandise for only $4.77 (before tax)!

They have the track pieces and the armor on clearance for only $.72 each and they took more off because I had my 5 $5 rewards coupons so they were only $.53 each! Awesome gift for birthday's and my son loves them too and has the battlefield and hamsters so this will be a good reward for him if he does well in school!

The Lego fireman and truck was on clearance for only $5.98, I didn't think it was that great of a deal but I ended up getting it for only $4.17 with my rewards coupons.

They have a sale going on right now where you can purchase two baby powders, baby shampoos, and/or diaper rash creams and get the third one free. Since that is a store promotion you can use three manufacturer's coupons to make it a better deal! (It noted that Aveeno Baby products were not included in that sale)

The baby powder was regularly $4.79, I bought three and had three manufacturer's coupons from the 1/8 Smart Source insert.

With my rewards coupons, it brought them down to $3.34 each, so $10.02 total

-$3.34 for the free one

-$3.00 in manufacturer's coupons

= $3.68 or $1.23 each (for the large baby powder!)

Let me know if you find any great deals at Toys R Us! :)

I used this in my most recent shopping trip and it was so easy to manage my coupons while shopping...and having to manage my 12 month old son too!

There is a pocket up front where you place the coupons that you are going to give to the cashier and that is just brilliant! Everything was so organized so it was a scramble at the register like it usually is.

Here are some pictures of my Couponizer:

You can see the organization sections for the categories of coupons, they are so helpful and then when you have everything in place you'll move it to the front pocket in the store if you are going to use it. It just really simplifies the couponing process!

I highly reccomend the Couponizer if you are looking for a great way to organize your trips to the store while using coupons!
