My CVS Trip The Week of 12/13-12/19 - $3.27 OOP

I actually went to CVS first thing Sunday morning, and have been busy ever since. Sorry for the super slow post!

Trip #1

2 Packs of Bows $5.98
2 Packs of Labels $3.98
2 Packs of Tissue Paper $3.98
3 Suaves $6.00
2 Revlon Nail Colors (B1G1 Free) $4.99
Starch $2.29
Olay Body Wash $7.49
Olay Quench Body Lotion $9.99

minus

$.75/2 Suave Body Wash newspaper coupon
(2) $2.00 off Revlon
B1G1 Free Body Lotion P&G coupon (the computer would only take off $7.49 not $9.99)
$6.00 in ECB from last month's trip
$5/30 CVS coupon (quiz about Medicare Part D)

Total Cash OOP = 23.23 and I got back $15.94 back in ECB

Trip #2

Olay Body Wash $7.49
Olay Quench Body Lotion $9.99

minus

B1G1 Free Olay Lotion P&G coupon (again, only $7.49 taken off)
$9.96 in ECB from trip #1

Total OOP = $.02

So, I've spent a total of $23.25 in cash out of pocket but I'll submit the Olay Quench rebate for $19.98 back. You can request up to 2 rebates, as long as they are submitted together! So, it pays to read your rebate before shopping! Anyway, that will leave me with a grand total of $3.27 in cash spent and a total of $68.03 saved. Also, I ended up with $5.98 in ECB, and that's just a $.02 loss. All in all, an awesome week for me at CVS!

Wylie Mom's Mid-November Trip To CVS

It seems I'm only making it to CVS about once a month lately. I do hope I start making it more often. And, I'm sure I will since my stock pile is dwindling down. Here's what I got this month, with only one day to spare before my Extra Care Bucks expired. Yikes, I cut it close again!

3 Skippy Peanut Butter's $5.00
3 Ragu sauces $5.00
Bumble Bee Tuna $1.50
4 Trident Layered gums $4.00
Crest w/ Scope $3.49
Glade Candle $3.00
Duracell Batteries $2.99
Herbal Essences $2.88

minus

(3) $.40 Skippy newspaper coupons
(3) $.30 Ragu newspaper coupons
$.75 Duracell P&G newspaper coupon
$.55 Bumble Bee newspaper coupon
Free Herbal Essences coupon (mailed from the expired Facebook offer)
$2.00 Glade coupon from last Sunday's Parade
$1.00 off Crest coupon from my kid's dentist
B1G1 Free Trident Layered gum newspaper coupon
$5.00 CVS coupon (no longer available)
$9.99 in ECB from last months trip

Total cash OOP (out of pocket) = $.68 and SAVED $45.65. I also got back $6.00 in ECB ($3.00 Skippy/Ragu, $2.00 Crest and $1.00 Duracell).

I had this worked out at home with only 2 packs of gum, but the cashier took off the non-sale price for the Herbal Essences ($4.39 instead of $2.88) and she did the same thing with the Trident coupon ($1.50 off instead of $1.00). I didn't figure it out what happened until I got home, but she had me throw 2 more of the gums in to keep me from losing money and make up for the "extra" $2.01 she took off. I had another B1G1 free Trident coupon, but knew it would throw us back into the whole as far as the total so I left it as is. I also "lost" $3.99 in Extra Care Bucks, but that part was planned.

Do you need a CVS coupon? CVS has a new Medicare Part D quiz on their website. For taking the quiz you'll be rewarded with a $5/$30 CVS coupon!! CVS Medicare Part D Quiz

It's Like Getting Paid To Shop At Kroger With Coupons

I had an outstanding trip to Kroger yesterday. The 10 item Mega Event is going on right now and I walked away with lots of freebies! Here's a few of my highlights:

Land o' Lakes butter tubs (price after mega discount) $.99 - $.50 cpn doubled = FREE

Kroger Butter $1.99 - free Kroger cpn (mailed) = FREE

Cheez-Its $.99 - $1.00/2 = $.50 each

Bumble Bee tuna $.50 - $.55 cpn = FREE /$.05 overage

Carnation Evaporated Milk $.50 - $1.00/2 cpn = FREE

Betty Crocker Mash Pots $.99 - $.40 Betty Crocker printable doubled - $.40 Cellfire eCoupon = FREE / $.21 overage

Hormel Chili $.79 each - $2.00/3 cpn = $.12 each

Steamfresh Veggies $.99 - $.50 cpn doubled or - $.50 Steam Fresh printable cpn doubled = FREE

Sara Lee Mini Bagels = FREE with Sara Lee bread purchase

Maruchan Japanese Noodles $.99 - $.50 cpn doubled = FREE

After all was said and done, I purchased 61 items yesterday. I saved $72.16 and only spent $35.16. I couldn't have done it without my coupon binder. I typically work on it for about an hour once a week, clipping and filing. Then once I'm ready to go shopping I spend another 20 minutes or so making my list and pulling out the coupons I'll need. So, the question is, is it worth an hour and a half of your time to save $72.16? YES!

Remember to purchase and donate the items you might not use! This week's prices are good until November 10th...and I found another tuna coupon at the bottom of my purse (not very organized of me, I know!). Since I still have 3 or 4 more evaporated milk coupons so I might run in for one more Mega Event transaction tomorrow when I'm in the area. I go to the Sachse, Texas Kroger since they double and triple coupons.

Be sure to e-mail me anything you found free or cheap at Kroger this week, I'll add it to the list! :)

I Made A $.42 Profit Buying Milk & More At CVS

I finally made it into CVS this week!!

2 Boxes Cereal $5.00
Milk $2.49
Glade Candle $6.99

minus

$1.00 off Cheerios coupon from the sample I got here
$1.00 off Cin. Toast Crunch coupon
$3.00 Glade coupon (All You maybe?)
$8.00 ECB from this trip
$.50 ECB from Summer spending

Total OOP = $1.07 and I got back $9.99 in ECB.

I still had another $5 in ECB from last week, but didn't find anything to "roll" the bucks with so I settled for $1 out of pocket. I made a small Extra Care Buck profit of $1.49 ($9.99 made minus $8.50 used) combined with the $1.07 in cash spent and I "made" $.42 buying the milk I needed. On the other hand, I did not need any more cereal. But, I went ahead and got it since the Girls Scouts are "trick or treating" tonight for canned goods and toiletries. I have a huge bag of ready for them (cereal, pop-tarts, razors, deodorant, mac-n-cheese...). Plus ther was a profit that I couldn't pass up. :)

Now, I have $5 in ECB from last months trip that still need to be spent (ASAP), and the $9.99 from this trip.

*** DEAL ALERT!! Little Swimmers packs are on the clearance rack for $2.25. It's a great time to stock up for spring!!

An Awesome Trip To CVS, Aren't They All?

I had a super trip to CVS this morning!

Vaseline Sheer Infusion $7.99
Xtra Detergent $1.99
Gillette Fusion $9.99
4 Packs of Wigley's $4.00
2 8-packs of Reece's $1.76

minus

$1.50 off Vaseline Sheer Infusion printable coupon
$4.00 P&G coupon from Sunday's insert
(2) B1G1 Free Wigley's newspaper coupon (saved $2)
(2) $.55 Reese's newspaper coupon
$4/20 CVS coupon that was mailed to me
$10 in ECB from 2 weeks ago

Total OOP=$3.39

I got back $13 in ECB ($7 lotion, $5 razor, $1 gum) so that's a $3 Extra Care Buck "profit" (I spent $10 in ECB). Overall, that's $.39 for the trip and I saved $25.60.

I think I'll sell the razor. It was a tool to use my $20 coupon and if make anything more than $.39 on it, that's a profit for the trip. I actually think I'll just list it to my store for $7 or $8 with free shipping. The Reese's are perfect for Halloween or a donation to a fall festival (ditto for the gum), hopefully I don't eat them first, if they were Reese's Piece they wouldn't have even made it home! :)

$1.73 Spent OOP On My Rainy Day CVS Trip

This was another one of those weeks where I fell in love with CVS all over again. I got lots of goodies on the cheap. On a side note, it's been raining here in Dallas since last Thursday. I've already dumped 16" of rain from the rain gauge since then. So, on the way out of CVS my son jumped in a huge puddle soaking himself head to toe....good times! :)

I got back $10.00 in Extra Care Bucks (ECB), $1.00 for the milk, $1.00 for the Purex, $6.00 for the 3 Listerines, and $2.00 for the Colgate Total. I "lost" $2.99 in ECB but this was my 5th consecutive trip with less than $3.00 in cash spent. And, I saved a total of $38.92, woot woot!

On a side note, I also ran to Super Target last night. I just wasn't feeling the Target picture. Anyone really want to see them??? Anyway, I scoped out the weekly deals at Attention Target Shoppers before I left and saved $48.17 and only spent $30.73 cash out of pocket. Some super cool highlights: I got 4 more boxes of FREE Pop-tarts and 3 FREE Soy Glade candles and $1.89 cat food and $.79 Tide Stain Release (which is AWESOME!!!!!).

Find a great deal this week? Leave me a comment and share it!

A Super Trip To The Super Target in Wylie!

I am the worst grocery shopper! I hardley ever go these days unless we're low on milk, bread or fruit. I finally went to Super Target last night, I was about out of fun and healthy options for my daughter's lunch. I saved $55.85 and spent only $49.65 OOP (out of pocket).

Here's my noteworthy highlights:

Kashi Honey Sunshine $3.49 - free coupon from VocalPoint = FREE

Tide Stain Release $3.79 - $1.50 newspaper Target coupon - $1.50 coupon (came with a free sample from shopping at Gymboee) = $.79

Beef Delimex Toquitos $5.39 - $2.00 mailed Target coupon = $3.39

Strawberries $1.79 - $1.00 Target printable coupon = $.79/lb

Bananas $.49/pd - $.50/1 lb or more Target printable coupon = FREE

Another Profitable Trip To CVS This Week!

I made another small profit at CVS this week. This is my second week in a row with a profit and my third in a row with under $3 spent out of pocket.

Bic Soleil Razor $7.99
Revlon Mineral Make-Up $9.99
Glide Floss $3.99
CVS Batteries $3.79
Wyler's Light packets $.27

minus

$5/$25 CVS printable CVS coupon
$3 off Bic Soleil newspaper coupon
$1.00 Revlon newspaper coupon
$3.79 off CVS batteries (free item coupon from CVS, August promo)
$9.99 in ECB from last week's CVS trip

Total cash OOP $2.44. I got back $12.99 in ECB and saved 30.49. I made an Extra Care Buck (ECB) profit of $3.00 and with the $2.44 in cash I spent, I had an overall "profit" of $.56. Woot!

The clearance Wyler's Light packets made the perfect filler at 9 cents a piece!! I had planned on getting the Sharpie highlighters (free with a coupon) but they were out and I was a $.24 shy of $25. Remember the $25 total needed does not include tax, so it's best to have a plan "B" or "C" in mind if you're trying to use a $5/$25 coupon. Sometimes (usually) something is out of stock.

Also.....I wanted to mention the Revlon make-up. I was lucky that they were hidden in my store and I found my shade. If not, I would have still bought some and sold it on eBay. It runs, $14.99 regular price and was on sale for $9.99. I actually "made" $1 on it since I used a coupon and it was free with ECB. It's a super tiny bottle, and it might cost about $1.50 to ship. So, if I were to sell it, I would maybe sell it for $9.99 with free shipping. Just an idea! :)

Saving At Target With The "New Store Specials" & Kellogg's Rebate

I just can't help myself. Target is so close, so I ran in last night for some groceries. I also decided to shop for the Kellogg's $10 rebate while I was there. It was in the paper last week. You need to purchase 10 Kellogg's or Sunshine products in one transaction.

Kellogg's details:

4 Pop Tarts (new store special) $1.52 each - $.75 Target Printable - $1.00/2 newspaper coupon = $.27 each

2 Eggos $1.79 each - $1.00/2 newspaper coupon = $1.29 each

2 Fruit Snacks $1.75 each - $1.00/2 newspaper coupon = $1.25 each

1 Whole Grain Cheez-It $2.99 - $.75 Whole Grain Cheez-It printable coupon = $2.24

Cocoa Krispies $3.29 - Free Rice Krispies coupon from Vocalpoint (it's FREE to join!) = FREE

I spent $8.40 for the Kellogg's stuff and will get $10.00 back for the rebate. That's a $1.60 profit. Yay! Overall I spent $37.98 cash OOP, or $27.98 after rebate and I saved 42.50 with my coupons (52.50 if you want to count the rebate).

Other "New Store Specials" I liked:

Bagel Bites new store special $3.49 - $2.00 mailed Target coupon = $1.49
Market Pantry Cheese $1.49
Market Pantry Granola Bars(chocolate chip only) $1.25 - $1.00/2 register coupon = $.74 each
Baby Carrots $.79 (something for all the ranch dressing we have)
Tostitos $1.75 - $1.00/2 mailed Target coupon = $1.25 each
Milk $1.99 (I hope it stays this low!!)

The past two trips I have received a $1.00/2 Market Pantry coupon, but nothing came out for me this trip. Then, on the way out my daughter found a $1.00 off Archer Farms coupon on the ground. Coupon karma must be looking out for me. I'm lovin' the new Wylie Super Target!

P.S. Be sure to check out Ginger at Attention Target Shoppers!

A Quick Run Into Walmart For Wipes & Free Chocolate

I had an eye appointment this morning and ran into the store while I was there. Yes, I see the guy inside Walmart. It's actually the best eye care I've had in ages and I've been wearing glasses 18 years now. Anyway, I also got free chocolate and super cheap Huggies wipes!

10 Packs Pull-Ups wipes $17.20
8 Mars candy bars $4.00

minus

(5) $3.00/2 Huggies Pull-Ups wipes coupon
(4) $1.00/2 Mars candy bars coupon

Total OOP = $2.38

The wipes were $.22 each (plus sales tax), the Mars chocolate was FREE and I saved $19.00 with the coupons. I'll admit, I got the trip idea last week from The Thrifty Mommy. I went ahead and got the trip ready (list made, coupons paper clipped to list) and kept it in my purse. I figured I'd be in the neighborhood sometime soon.

Even if you don't have little kids, wipes are a great thing for everyone to keep in the car. You can use them cleaning up spills (coffee, soda) or for cleaning your hands before and after meals "on the go". Keeping the pack inside a plastic zipper bag will keep them moist in the pack longer. A good tip in the Texas summer heat.

Thanks to my mom and step-mom for their extra coupons! I would never have an overstock of freebies without you!!

Book Cover $.99
Carmel $.33

$2.00 Visine newspaper coupon from Sunday
$2.00 SoftSoap printable coupon (hint: use zip code 45435)
$7.96 in ECB from last week

Total cash out of pocket (OOP) spent = $.02

I got back $9.99 in Extra Care Bucks and saved $25.56. Since I started with $7.96 in ECB, got back $9.99 and spent $.02 in cash, I had an overall "profit" on this trip of $2.01.
Plus, I received a coupon for a FREE 4 pk of AA batteries. Be sure to make at least a small purchase this month at CVS to get your free item coupon. It WILL NOT spit out of the magic coupon machine, I tried!

I REALLY wanted the $3 profit from the Blink eye drops (with coupon from Sunday) and the Electrasol, but again I missed out since I didn't head to CVS first thing Sunday morning. I guess it wasn't meant to be for me.

What did you score this week at CVS? What free item coupon did you get?

My CVS Trip On July 15th

This week I had $5 in Extra Care Bucks burning a hole in my pocket as well as the $10 in ECB I made from the CVS panel I'm on. I decided to do the Olay deal (spend $20, get $10 ECB), because I'm also going to do the $20 Olay Rebate from Olay.com. I noticed the rebate while clipping my coupons. :)

My sister-in-law and I hit a CVS on Sunday to find NO school supplies that were free (with ECB), so I gave up there on those. I'm not that desperate! Here's what I did find:

Transaction #1

Night of Olay $6.99
Olay Complete Lotion $6.99
Olay Total Effects Cleanser $7.99
Gain Detergent $5.99

minus

$1.00 off Gain coupon from P&G book (no longer available)

minus

$2.00/2 CVS nuts coupon (from magic machine when I walked in)
Free Poweraide coupon from My Coke Rewards (she took off $1.69 instead of the $1.25 sale price paid)
$2.50 Electrasol coupon from last Sunday's paper
$2.00 in ECB (price adjusted to $1.90) from transaction #1

Total cash OOP = $.13

Overall, I spent $9.83 cash out of pocket (OOP) and saved $24.93. I'm counting the $10 ECB from the panel as "income" as far as my tracking. I also still have $10 in Extra Care Bucks from the Olay deal for next week.

More on the Olay rebate soon....

The 10 Item Mega Event At Kroger - July 16th

Thursday is my favorite day to grocery shop. I like it because the new ad came out yesterday, and I've had plenty of time to clip and organize my coupons from Sunday. Plus, it's still mid-week and not very crowded. This week at Kroger there is a 10 item Mega Event, purchase 10 participating items and get $5 off. I did this twice, and yes, you can mix and match items. Pictured is what I got at Kroger this morning.

Highlights from the trip:

Ritz $2.75 & I got the Wheat Thins for FREE ($2.99) with newspaper coupon.

Kleenex $1.49 - $.50 Mega Savings - $.50/2 newspaper coupon from last Sunday doubled = $.49 each. Great for back to school!

Tyson Skillet Creations $7.19 - $1.00 Tyson Skillet Creations printable coupon = $6.19 (but don't forget about the rebate, $1.00 profit overall).

Strawberries $2.97 for 2 pounds

Kraft Cheese (select 8 oz.) $1.49 each after Mega Savings

Daisy Sour Cream 16 oz. $1.99 - $.50 Mega Savings - $.50 newspaper coupon doubled = $.49 each

I saved $48.08 and spent $38.33 cash OOP. After the $7.19 I'll get back for the Tyson's rebate, my trip total was $31.14. Yay!

Oh.....I also got a FREE Snickers Bar with my Mars Free Chocolate on Friday coupon. It was hiding in my purse. :)

Today's Fun Shopping Trip Brought To You By CVS

Overall for the week (so far), I spent $3.75 cash out of pocket (OOP) and saved $36.82. I "lost" $1.00 in ECB, but I should have $10 in ECB waiting for me tomorrow. I'm on a CVS panel and did a survey a few weeks ago. If that's the case, I'll head back for some Olay body wash and a P&G shampoo/conditioner. I don't need them, but my stock pile would be happy if I did stop back in. :)

I'm Such A Lazy Shopper!

Other than a trip to Sprouts, it had been 2 weeks since I grocery shopped. I mainly just needed dairy and some chips/snacks. We have a stocked pantry and freezer otherwise!! I headed to Alberstons yesterday morning, before the ad arrived at the house, so I had to just wing it this trip.

I spent $29.39 and saved $23.45.

This week at Albertsons Kraft Cheese is 5/$10 ($2 each). Now this wasn't tagged of course, but here's there catalina deal:

Buy 3 (6 oz or larger) Kraft Cheeses and get $2.00 off your next order (oyno, or a catalina)
Buy 4 get a $3.00 catalina
Buy 5 or more get a $4.00 catalina

I was bummed this wasn't tagged in the store since I bought 2 Kraft Cheeses. I would have got at least one more, darn it! This deal runs 6/19 until 7/12.

I also saw catalina tags on Jello Pudding 6 packs, buy 2 get a $1.00.

Another deal, I used my 2 Kool-Aid/Sugar coupons from a few weeks back. Kool-Aid is priced at Albertsons 8/$1.00 ($.12 each). So I purchased 20 packets and 2 C&H sugars at $2.19 each. That's $6.78 for Kool-Aid and sugar. But I used the 2 $2.00 off sugar coupons plus 2 $.35 off C&H sugar coupons that were tripled...calculator sounds......okay, that $.68 total for 20 packets of Kool-Aid and two 4 pound bags of C&H. But wait, there's more!! I'll list the Kool-Aid on eBay (to sell internationally most likely) and make about $10 back. So, free sugar plus a small profit! :)

For example, here's an eBay listing that has ended, 50 Kool-Aid packets sold for $24.95! Which is amout right, $.50 a packet on eBay.

Be sure to visit the Albertsons website, there's a Coke/Disney matching game you can play for a chance to win a Disney Resort vacation. Good luck!
