My last 2 Trips to CVS (for the week!)

Here's the last of my CVS trips for last week. My first trip I posted here. Here's what I got on trip 2 and 3. I made a third trip because the cashier forgot to ring up a Suave (so I didn't get my ECB). So I had to go again! :)

6 Cover Girl Outlasts

2 Suave Shampoos

2 Suave Conditioners

4 Suave Body Washes

1 Fabric Softener (needed)

1 Colgate

2 Goody's Headache stuff

Total OOP, $2.09 and $.40=$2.49. I ended the week with $7.87 in ECB. Yay!!

Here's a fun way to think about these transactions. I needed the fabric softener (it is a "need" when you hang dry clothes) and it's $2.99 at CVS, so I'll pretend I got the fabric softner "on sale" with everything else as a free bonus!!! Where else can you get $60 worth of lip gloss for free?????

Let me know if you need any of the boring "how to" details broken out!!

FYI-The Cover Girl was free since CVS was running a B1G1 sale and I used a B1G1 Cover Girl coupon.

Hot New Coupons from Coupons.Com

Have you checked out my coupon bar on the left since Monday?? There are some awesome new coupons to print. Here are some of my favorites. :)

$.50/1 Betty Crocker Cookie Mix-can be doubled (if your store doubles), watch for it to go on sale for $1.00.

$1.00/1 Pillsbury Sweet Rolls/Crescent Rolls/Grands Biscuits-several good ones on there.

$.45/1 Betty Crocker Muffin Mix-can be doubled, watch for a sale. I think it goes down to $1.00 or $1.50 sometimes...?

$1.00/1 Green Giant Vegggies-just a good coupon if you watch for a sale!!

Lots of Yoplait coupons!!!!

There are also a $1.00 Kotex coupon on there and I've read you can find smaller (not travel size) packs at Walmart for $1.00.

$1.00/1 Fast Fixin's was on there but the offer has expired. If you did get one printed, watch for those to go on sale for $1.00 (10 oz. package).

Coupons can be printed twice! Some of these coupons will be pulled in about than a week. Better print now. See any hot deals with a printable coupon? E-Mail me!!!!

My Texas litter bag. The cute one I requested was all out. So, I was sent a regular one. If you're in Texas, request one here. They will have new "designer" litter bags out for 2009.

Food & Family magazine from Kraft. I love these! First, they almost always come with coupons. Second, they have tons of fun recipes. I'm not a huge fan of cooking, so Kraft is just my speed. I grew up cooking everything from scratch....UGH! Sign up for Food & Family from Kraft here.

Now then, how about some new samples to request?

Thanks to Freebies 4 Mom and Homemaker Barbi for some of the new sample leads.

Two Freebies!

The Nature Made 14 day supply sample has been reset for those you who might have missed it in the past. Yippee!!

And here's an Enfamil freebie for those with a baby (or 2). You can also register if you're expecting! Your free sample might include coupons.....

I never bought formula when my kids were little. The free formula samples and the coupons got me by, since I pretty much exclusively breastfeed both kids (and I was working outside of the home at the time!!). Pretty frugal of me, huh? I just can't believe how much formula costs!!

Just Have to Brag!

Check out the new Polo Ralph Lauren dress shirt I got for $3.50, well really $1!! Keep reading. It's new without tags, and I found it at Goodwill!! I of course grabbed it to inspect with eBay in mind. Then I saw the size. It's a perfect fit on my hubby and his favorite color (blue)!

I ended up with 19 things for auction and this shirt all for $20. With my "Wylie Mom Math", that makes the shirt $1! 20 items for $20, $1 each.

This past Saturday, Goodwill had a 50% clothing sale. It was crazy busy! Carts were at a premium and I had to use a laundry basket, not fun with glassware! Thankfully, the kids were swimming at their Grandparents, so I could shop. I couldn't have shopped with them not having a cart. The shoe bin area was a ZOO, that I passed on (laundry basket and all), but the lady in front of me got a new with tags pair of those cute wedge Crocs, as in real Crocs, for $2.50. I almost went back to dig after paying, but thought I should get the kids.

Funny thing I learned, a sale at Goodwill really brings out the retired folks who drive $60-70K luxury cars!! But, now you should think twice about where they bought those nice clothes when you see them hoping out of that car at CVS. :)

Chick-n-Strips Giveaway at Chick-Fil-A-TODAY!!
