I realize I’m posting my great shopping haul a week late. I had so many posts to do last week that I am now finally making time to share. I did have a great shopping trip last weekend. I snagged two freebies from Bath and Body Works.

Then I went to Walmart and bought 2 Schick Hydro Silk Razors with the bonus shaving cream at $5.97 – $4/1 Coupon for $1.97 each! I paid less than $5 for both. These will make great Christmas presents.

At CVS I bought the Children’s Allergy Liquid on sale for $5.99 and I had a $5 off any Allergy medication so 99 cents!

At Dollar General I picked up the Nivea Body Wash for $2.50 each and had (2) $2 Coupons so total was $1.09 with tax!

Back to CVS I bought the following Gillette Items to receive $10 ECB. Fusion Razor ($5 coupon); Venus Razor ($2 coupon); Fusion Shaving Cream ($1 coupon) and Gillette Body Wash ($1 coupon)= $22 after coupons and I had $8 ECB to roll in so I paid $15 with tax. I received my $10 ECB and I can use the Venus Razor for the P&G $15 Rebate!

I went to Target and did really well! I found 6 boxes of the Clairol Nice-N-Easy on clearance for $5.94 each. Each box had the bonus Pantene color protecting shampoo. I had the $5/2 coupons and I had 3 of them. I had the Band-Aid $2/1 coupon so I received the $2.64 for 64 cents and bought a Revlon nail clipper for FREE! I stacked the $2/1 Target tool coupon with a $1/1 MFR so I got 3 cents overage. I paid $21.xx with tax as I used my Red Card for an extra 5% off my total which paid for half my tax. I have that rebate for the $15 cash back! Between the Gillette Deal and this hair color deal minus rebate- I paid about $20 for all of it. Not too shabby. I have 6 boxes of hair color for $3.25 each or 50%. I also have shaving cream, razors for ourselves, and body wash. I am very happy as I saved over 50%. I got a catalina from Target for $3/1 Revlon which I can combine with a $2/1 MFR. I love Target and CVS!

Last but not least was Walgreens. I broke that trip into two transactions since I didn’t have any Register Rewards. It’s so much to list so in the picture you can see I bought Lysol, Ivory, Dawn, Nivea, Purex, Colgate, Simalison, Toothpaste, Goody hair bands, Aquafresh toothpaste, and Opti-Free contact lens saline solution. That stuff is not cheap so I was thrilled to see it on sale with the $1.50 coupon so $7 for a box. Not great but cheaper than the $9.xx I normally would pay. Yes I wear soft so I have to use better brands. I have expensive air-optix as I have astigmatism in one eye.

None of it was FREE but I did pay $14 on one transaction and $20 on the other. I have $6.50 in Register Rewards. I had coupons for the majority of the sale stuff. I was happy to get the Nivea so cheap especially the shaving cream. I ended up paying $2/3 so a $1.50 a can! It was $2/7 – (2)$2/2= $2/3! Hey the cheap shaving cream is $1.64 or more a can! This was actually cheaper for a much better brand. Now hubby is set on shaving cream and body wash. I have lots of laundry detergent. I love those paks so easy to use in a front loader. I love the perfume-free detergents. I was able to pay for all of it with a FREE $50 gift card I won! That was even better.

So did anyone score some of these great deals last week?

Or did you score any this week?

I am going shopping tomorrow for this week’s sale items!

I didn’t do outstanding and get everything for free or even close to free on my CVS shopping trip today. I didn’t have many ECB’s to use and I had my son with me who was sick today. It was his turn so we were picking up his prescription while I did a little shopping. I paid for my purchase out of pocket, but I wanted to have some ECB’s to roll over for the future sales. I am constantly rolling old ECB’s into new ones. If I really would have had the time, then I would have sat there with several purchases, but like I said my son wasn’t feeling too hot and it was kinda crowded.

*Quick Note: I promise to write a guide soon on coupons, shopping at CVS and Walgreen’s very soon! I will explain a couple of quick things.

• ECB= ExtraCare Buck (you MUST have a CVS Extra Care Card to get them)
• ExtraCare Buck are those special sales advertised like Buy xxx for $3 and receive a $2 ECB
• You use them just like cash. They do have expiration dates.
• Promise now you will ALWAYS scan that card under the scanner machine when at CVS. You never know what great coupon will print.
• The other great thing about CVS is you can stack their store coupons with manufacturer coupons to get stuff for FREE or almost free!
• You can do the exact same thing with Walgreens and Target.
• Walgreens Register Rewards are just like ECB. They actually copied CVS. They used to have a rebate form you had to fill out and mail in monthly.

Now back to my trip for today. I spent $33 exactly today. Yes it was all out of pocket, but now I have $8 in ECB’s to use for the next trip. My store was out of the Free Natural Relief medicine. I am debating if I want to buy anything for the $10 ECB wyb $30 in Gillette, Venus, and Olay. I think I will as there is a printable rebate online for $15 back (not on Gillette but on Venus, Olay, and others).

I did buy $20 worth of Scott’s toilet paper and the coupons I had were for the natural rolls only and the soft. I did get my free laundry detergent. My cashier wouldn’t take my $1 off  Wisk since I was getting it FREE and she’s become a friend so I let it go. Technically she’s right, but she did make a funny comment  about how bloggers say CVS cashiers take the coupon but we aren’t supposed to. She knows I blog so I had to laugh at that one. 🙂

• 3 rolls of Scott’s Soft toilet paper
• 1 FREE Wisk Detergent for HE
• 1 Cottonelle Roll Cover
• 2 Right Guard deodorants
• 2 Colgate Advanced Toothpaste

Now I have $8 worth of ExtraCare Bucks for the next purchase. I still need to buy the Natural Pain Reliever and some other sale items. At some point I was going to spend money out of pocket as I didn’t have any bucks. I could have rolled the $2 ones several times to still have $2. I did have $2 from my quarterly savings. I was happy to get a $9 bottle of detergent FREE and I always need toilet paper which was still a good sale price. Walmart is over $10 for a 12 pack. I still feel I saved a good bit of money today. My receipt says I saved a total of $29.67 with sales and coupons! I will get back to the days where I was paying less than $5 for all my items.

What did you buy this week at CVS?

 

 

This is a possibly FREE Deal but some people are receiving a $2/2 CVS Mitchum Deodorant coupon when they scan their Extra Care card under the coupon scanner! Here is the scenario to get them for free!

Buy (2) Mitchum Deodorant- $1.99, On Sale through 4/21
Use (2) $1.00/1 Mitchum Deodorant from SS 3/18 (exp 5/15)
And use (1) $2.00/2 Deodorants, Any from CVS Coupon Machine (printed week of 4/8, expires 2 weeks from day printed)
Final Price: 2 FREE Mitchum Deodorant after stacked coupons!

Even if you do not receive the CVS coupons it’s still a great sale at 99 cents with the manufacturer coupons.

Many thanks to Katie’s Krazy Savings for this great find!

Let me know if you are able to snag the coupon!

I have also finally figured out how to add drop down menus to my blog. I know but I’m still getting used to WordPress but I do love it! I now have all the printable coupons listed so hover over Printable Coupons at the top and you will see a drop down box for Coupons.com, Smartsource, Redplum, and Savings Star coupons.

I also have all the latest and greatest printable coupons listed if you just click on Printable coupons. I posted about a $2 Dove coupon.

Quick Question for everyone. I am going to start doing weekly match-up’s for the stores that I have.

Would anyone be interested in a list that you check the deals you want and can print the list out? I hate to buy an app that no one would use.

The stores I will do weekly match-up’s will be:

• CVS
• Walgreens
• Walmart
• Target
• Rite-Aid
• Dollar General
• Family Dollar
• Big Lots

I wished I had more national chain supermarkets but the ones near me all shut down. I miss Delchamp’s.
