CVS FREE flu shot

So, DH & I decided we needed a flu shot ($29.95). We went to CVS & found out Mike's insurance won't cover our flu shots. :( So, plan B- This past week (ended today 9/11-1 per card), CVS had a deal to get a free flu shot when you buy certain items ($30 total) in their sale paper. So, I searched for some coupons to make for an even better deal. For DH's (his card) I bought:
2- Prevacid 24hr. 14ct. $10/ea
1- Theraflu warming cold medicine $5
1- Triaminic Children's Cough & cold $5
2- Starburst candies .50/ea (kids were with us)
used (2) $4 Prevacid Q's, (1) $2 Theraflu Q, (1) $1 Triaminic Q
Total oop: $22.08
receipt printed with the coupon for a free flu shot

For my flu shot (my card), I bought:
2-Prevacid 24hr. $10/ea
1-Theraflu cold & cough packets $5
1-Triaminic Children's night time cough & cold $5
used (2) $4 Prevacid Q's, (1) $2 Theraflu Q, (1) $1 Triaminic Q
Total oop: $20.80
receipt printed with the coupon for the free flu shot

So, we saved $77.02 at CVS today & are stocked up on medicines.

2 flu shots ($29.95/each) $59.90
value of all medicines $$60
Total: $119.90
Total oop after all mfg coupons & flu shot coupons: $42.88

CVS 8/22

So, I made my early morning trip for paper towels & toilet paper. Not too happy about the oop though. :( I had a scenerio worked out to be under $10, but that got shot all to crap. (lol-good thing I got toilet paper now.)

Here's how it went:

Transaction #1
2-Glade sense & spray $5/each
used 2 $3 Glade coupons
used $4 ecb from yesterday
total oop: $.70 (earned $3 ecb)

Transaction #2
1-Bounty 16 ct paper towels $9.99
1-Charmin 16 ct tiolet paper $12.99
3-Puffs box tissues $.99/each
2-M&M's single bags $.89/each (just because I got a coupon for scanning card)
used $.25 Bounty coupon
used $.25 Charmin coupon
used $.25/3 Puffs coupon
used $.50/2 M&M's coupon
used $3 ecb from T#1 & $7.99 ecb from yesterday
tried to use the 30% off coupon but was told I couldn't because I bought all sale items (ugh! what??) I just paid because the cashier was friendly & patient.
total oop: $16.52
I looked the coupon over when I got to the car & sure enough he was right, "not valid on sale items". Darn! Oh well, I hate my oop total, but we have toilet paper & paper towels! And I earned $10 in ecb's to use next trip.

CVS 8/21

I knew I had to get to CVS tonight to get the good deals for 8/22-8/28. There's so many couponers in my area that the stuff goes fast. Since our CVS starts their sales on Saturday afternoon, I always try to go then to get the deals before they're gone. Sure enough, when I walked through the door I saw the "shelf clearers" at work. The Crest toothpaste was almost gone. Only 3 left so I grabbed my limit of 2.
Here's what I got:

Transaction #1
2-Crest Pro Health toothpaste $3.49/each
2-Listerine mouthwash
1-Reinventing Beauty magazine $.99 (has CVS & mfg coupons in it)

used (2) $.75 Crest coupons
used (2) $2.00 Listerine coupons
used $2.00 & $7.99 ecb's from last week

total oop: $1.58 (earned $4 & $5 ecb's)

Transaction #2
1-Blink Gel Tears eye drops $7.99

used $1.50 Blink coupon
used $5.00 ecb from 1st transaction

total oop: $2.05 (earned $7.99 ecb & still have $4 ecb from t#1 = $11.99)

I wanted to get the P&G buy $25 worth get $10 ecb, but the Bounty was not out yet. So, I plan to make an early trip tomorrow morning when I go to get my morning paper. I also got a 30% off purchase coupon from the card scanner machine. Working of my least oop right now. I'll update tomorrow.

Ladybug cakes & weekly shopping

I made ladybug cakes for my daughter's 5th birthday party. We had a pool party at my in-laws house yesterday. The weather was cloudy & it rained some but we still had a great time.

On to my weekly shopping.
I went to Target Friday for a good deal on Prilosec OTC. My hubby uses it daily so I couldn't pass up a good deal. I bought 2 Prilosec OTC 42 ct. for $49.98, used a $3 coupon & a $2 coupon bringing to total to $45.98. I received 2 $5 gift cards (1 for each box-the current weekly sale) & I submitted for a $10 rebate through the manufacter. So I actually only paid $25.98 for 2 boxes of Prilosec 42 ct.-that's what I would pay for just 1 box.

Bilo-I got $191 worth of groceries for $101.36. I can't find my Bilo list but I used southernsavers.com to make my list & match up my coupons.

Publix-I got $61 worth of stuff for only $11.73. My favorite deals were the Bic Flex 4 & Advance 3 4pk men's razors. On sale B1G1 & I only paid .74 each after coupons. Also, the Finish 32 ct dish detergent gel packs $6.99 B1G1 & I had $2.50 coupons so only $1 per box. I got a raincheck the other day since they were out so I bought more coupons on ebay to use this week with my raincheck.

Staples back to school deals 7/11 -$0.23

I recycle my ink cartridges at Staples for $3 each, which they mail out as a rebate check. I have been hanging on to my $18 rewards rebate check waiting on a good deal.
Well-here it is:

2 pks. Staples copy/printer paper (500 sheets per pk.) $4.99/ea.
1 HP black ink cartridge $14.99
2 pks. 8 pencils $0.01/ea
10 folders $0.01/ea
1 pk. 2 scissors $1
1 pk. highlighters $1

-$18 rewards check
= $9.73 oop

And, the best part...I get a rebate of $9.96 for buying the 2 pks. of paper. (This week's sale.)
So, I actually made $0.23 for all the above stuff!
I love rebates!

CVS savings

My CVS trip 6/29

1 gallon Pet milk 2.99
2 CVS 3 pk womens disposable razors 1.00 each
2 Xtra laundry detergents 2/$3

-$3/2 CVS razors scanner Q
-$4 ecb

total oop: $.90 (I thought the oop would have been more-but why would I agrue?)

Well I have no ecb's now but that's ok. I can always start over. I also got $2 off Bounty CVS scanner Q. I'll go back later this week for paper towels. They are $5.97 for an 8 roll pk this wk, so -$2 CVS Q & $1 mfg. Q= $2.97 for paper towels.

Publix

I ran to Publix before Josh's 8th birthday party. I got:
2 pints fresh blueberries 2/$3.00
used 2 $1.50 Publix berries coupons=FREE
1 box kellogg's Frosted Flakes $2
1 box Kellogg's Apple Jacks $1.99
used $1/2 Kellogg's coupon
1 Bailey's coffee creamer $1.05
used .55 Bailey's Publix coupon
used $1 Bailey's mfg. coupon
2 bags Cracker Jack's .99/each (had kids with me)
1 20 lb. bag ice $3.49
total oop: $8.07

I didn't have coupons for the Cracker Jack's but the kids were being good. And I had to have the ice for the party. So I actually only paid around $2.60 on berries, cereal & coffee creamer.

Awesome CVS Trip! $5.73 Profit

Well, we were running low on paper towels so I knew I had to make a CVS trip.
I started with $18 in ecb's.

2-Bounty Basic 8 rolls paper towels on sale $5.88
used 2 $1 Bounty coupons
1-Schick Hydro 5 Razor $8.97
1-bag Dove milk chocolate candy $4.99
1-bag Dove chocolate peanut butter candy (on sale-2nd bag for $0.01)
used $1.00 Dove candy coupon from scanner machine
1-Duncan Hines chocolate chip cookie mix $1(tonight's dessert)
used $18 ecb's
total paid oop $7.24, earned $4 ecb for the razor
And I get the whole $8.97 cost of the Schick Razor back with the Schick rebate form.

So,
$7.24-$4 ecb (store credit to use later)=$3.24
$3.24-$8.97 (Schick rebate coming back to me )= -$5.73 profit!!! That's my kind of shopping!

And-my Dove candy wrapper said, "Have another!" so...I have to right?

CVS & Walmart 6/13

I made a quick run to CVS.

Transaction #1
2 Old Spice body washes $4/each
-B1G1 Old Spice coupon
total oop: $4.28, earned $8 ecb

Transaction #2
1 pair kids Tinkerbell sunglasses 6.99
1 pair kids Transformers sunglasses 5.99
-$8 ecb
total oop $5.89, earned $10 ecb

So I paid $10.17 oop & earned $10 ecb to use next trip. So it's like I only paid $.17 for 2 body washes & 2 pr of sunglasses, since I earned the $10 ecb which is store credit.

Now I'm gonna round up my Bounty coupons & use that $10 ecb for the Bounty paper towels that are on sale this week.

Next, Walmart. Just a quick trip for my $.98 newspapers.

2-Greenville newspapers $.98 each
1-Stayfree 32 ct. bonus pack pads $2.26
-$2 Stayfree coupon
total oop: $2.38 (that's the cheapest I've ever got out of Walmart!)

So today's totals:
CVS $10.17 + walmart $2.38 = $12.45-$10 ecb= $2.45 for 2 body washes, 2 prs sunglasses, 2 newspapers & 1 pack Stayfree pads

CVS 5/27

Bri & I made a quick CVS trip. Everyone's been talking about getting good coupons from the card scanner so I thought I'd run in today. I only got $1 off CVS hair care product. :(

Oh well. I did do a quick purchase & burned $8 in ecb's.
2 bags Lay's chips 3.99 on sale B1G1 free (for Memorial Day cook-out)
1 CVS hair conditioner .99 (used the $1 scanner coupon=free)
1 Pepsi .99
1 box 100 popsicles 3.99 (for Bri since her throat hurts)
oop= $1.06

I hated to burn the ecb's but I still got $8 in ecb's left on Mike's card.

I love CVS! 5/23 trip

I made a quick trip to CVS this morning. Most of the weekly deals are usually gone by Monday since we have a lot of couponers in my area. So I try to get my most important items on Saturday night or Sunday. Today, I started with $4.99 in ecb's.
2 Old Spice Body Washes $4/each
-B1G1 free coupon
3 12.6 oz. bags M&M's 1.98/each
-Buy 2 bags get 1 bag free coupon
-$4.99 ecb
total oop: $3.59
got back $8 in ecb's for the Old Spice body washes (woohoo! Money maker trip!)

CVS $3.14 saved $71.47 with coupons & sales

I went to CVS to exchange the tomoato planter for the Topsy Turvy. I read on a coupon message board about how to get free toilet paper at CVS using some vitamin coupons that I had. So, I of course couldn't resist this good deal.








2-Nature's Bounty vitamins (B1G1 sale) 5.99
4-Nature's Bounty vitamins (B1G1 sale) 4.99/ea
3-Cottonelle 12 pk toilet paper 4.99/ea
2-CVS bandaids .99/ea
1-CVS hair conditioner

used 6-$5 Nature's Bounty coupons
used 2-.50 cottonelle coupons
used $1/2 CVS first aid products coupon(coupon scanner)
used $1 CVS hair care product coupon (coupon scanner)

total oop : $3.14

This was a great deal. I paid the tax & only $1 for the 2 boxes of bandaids. The deal works like this. I bought 3 bottles of vitamins (the 3 other bottles were free with the sale) but had $30 in vitamin coupons which created overage to use on the toilet paper making it free. The cashier was new & looked confused but I explained to her that I can use 6 coupons since I bought 6 vitamins even though 3 of the bottles are free with the sale. Luckily the manager was behind me waiting to pay for a drink & spoke up to confirm what I was saying. So, I guess Nature's Bounty paid for my toilet paper. woohoo! Love FREE!

And in case you're wondering-the $71.47 is the total saved on my receipt based on the regualr price of the vitamins & the toilet paper.
The Cottonelle & Bounty is a limit of 3 per household. So the other day I used my CVS card & today I used Mike's card. I may have to see if I can get more vitamin coupons before the sale ends Saturday & get some Bounty this way with his card. Happy Shopping!

Awesome CVS trip 5/9 Only $7.21

I started with 2-$15 ECB's from online surveys.

Transaction #1
2-Right Guard deodarants 2.49/ea (-$3/2 Right Guard coupon)
2-Crest Pro Health toothpaste $3.50/ea (-$1 Crest coupon, -.75 Crest coupon)
1-Kotex U liners 4.99 (-$1 CVS Kotex coupon, -$1 Kotex coupon)
1-Bayer Aspirin clearance $1.50 (-$1 Bayer coupon)
5-Pepsi 2 liter .88/ea

used all coupons above & 1-$15 ecb
total oop: $.58
Earned: $7 ecb for Crest, $4 for Right Guard, $4.99 for Kotex, $1 for green bag tag = $16.99 ECB's


Transaction #2
1-CVS alcohol $1.59
1-CVS hydrogen peroxide $.99 (-$1/2 CVS first aid scanner coupon)
3-Cottonelle 12 pk toilet paper 4.99/ea (-3 $.50 Cottonelle coupons)

1-CVS hair conditioner .99 (-$1 CVS hair care product scanner coupon)
1-tomato planter 9.99 (I wanted the Topsy Turvy but they were out. I needed to get this anyway so I wouldn't mess up my totals. I'll exchange it at another CVS tomorrow since Topsy Turvy is the same price.)

used all coupons above + 16.99 ecbs from Transaction #1 + other $15 ecb for online survey.
Total oop: $6.63

It was more oop than I meant to pay. I thought the scanner coupon for the first aid items was for $2 instead of $1, and I miscalculated somewhere. I was thinking $3-4 oop. But still good for all that toilet paper & paper towels.

$65.14 total in products for only $7.21

Another BiLo trip 5/4

Hubby sent me back to BiLo for more chicken breast (.89/lb) since today is the last day of the sale.

I got 3 packs of chicken breasts for $4 & some change each. There was a coupon on each pack for $1 off Velveeta shells & cheese box so I got 3 boxes for $.99/each. Then when I paid I got a catalina register coupon for $2 off my next purchase for purchasing 3 boxes of Velveeta. So I could think of it as actually only paying $.97 for 3 boxes of shells & cheese. My kinda shopping. :)

BiLo 5/4

I didn't get the meal deal when I bought groceries at BiLo the other day. But over the weekend, I found $1.50 coupon on the Mystic Pizza to make the meal deal a good deal. The sale goes off today, so Bri & I headed to BiLo this morning.

Meal Deal:
2-Cheese Mystic Pizzas (used 2-$1.50 off coupons)
1-SH Potato Skins free
1-Pet ice cream free
1-Coke free
(total for meal deal= $6.38)

1-SH 20 ct. cups $1
1-dozen eggs $.98
1 Faygo drink (Bri) $.38

total spent: $11.06

FYI: I guess we bought some durable eggs. Bri knocked the carton out of the buggy, they landed on the hard floor & not a single egg broke. She said, "we got some good eggs!"

CVS

I didn't do a lot of couponing this week. But I did manage to get by CVS before some of my ECB's expired.

I didn't take any pics, but I got:

I love CVS! Don't forget to take your own reusable bag & have your bag tag (these were FREE last week after ecb)scanned. Every 4th trip, you'll get $1 ecb. It may not seem like a lot but it is when paired with coupons!

I also did an online survey for CVS the other day & I should be getting an email to print a $15 ecb for doing the survey. Can't wait to get it.

We took Josh & Bri to Lowe's this morning for a Free kids workshop. It was so much fun.
They built planter boxes today. We've already signed up for next week's workshop to build a bird feeder.

Kmart-last day of Double Coupons

I made one last trip for double coupon days. The shelves were a bit bare today. But I did score a few good deals.

I didn't take a picture since it is a lot of stuff.

Got lots of meat-2 chuck roasts, lrg pk cube steak, lrg pk pork chops, 2 lrg pks ground chuck (on sale for 1.99/lb.

I won't list all the stuff I got. It was just stuff we needed whether it was on sale or not. No really big deals on a certain item. I just used a few coupons on the products we needed. Then I used a $7 BiLo coupon when you spend at least $75 that I got in the mail.

I got $10 in Extra Care Bucks at CVS for doing an online survey they sent me by email. So now I'm gonna look up some good deals there to get the most out of the $10.

Another Walgreen's Trip

Well- I went back to Walgreen's hoping they'd restocked. No such luck. There's too many couponers in my area, so when they do restock it gets wiped out right away. But I really wanted the take advantage of the 5- 12 pks Coke for $13. I bought 5- 12 pks Coke, 1- 12 big rolls Cottonelle toilet paper, roll of aluminum roll, & 2 duck bubble necklaces. I paid $14.57 (I used the $4 RR I had from yesterday along w/ a mfg. Cottonelle Q, a store Cottonelle Q, aluminum foil Q & the Coke Q from their sale paper. Still not a bad deal on all that Coke.

I had a scenerio worked out with very little out of pocket money but when they're out of stuff, it's makes it hard. And, I personally don't have the time to run out & back to Walgreen's to see if they restock. From past experience, the store I go to either don't restock or the other couponers are there daily like vultures.

Walgreen's savings-total $34.98; paid $10.81

I got to make a quick run to Walgreen's today.

Not my best but we needed the toilet paper & cat liter. I have $4 RR left over for my next Walgreen's trip.

Well, it was a very busy week at school. I didn't have a lot of time to get lots of good deals this week. I did go to Ingles on Saturday morning. I got 1 pack ground chuck on sale for 1.78/lb, 1 pk chicken tenders on sale 1.88/lb, bananas .59/lb, Nilla wafers 1.50 box. I got a few other things not on sale since we were having a cookout & I didn't have time to run to different stores for the best prices. I went back to Ingles last night before the sales ended for more ground chuck-ALL GONE-but I was able to get 4 boxes of cereal for $4, 2-6 pk Nestle waters for .50/pk, 3 boxes of Mueller's pasta for 1.00 & 2 gal. Edy's ice cream for .98/ea (used coupons for all items & they were on sale.)

My plans this week are to get a spiral ham at BiLo & have them price match Ingles price of 1.68/lb so I can get the bonus .10/gal fuel perks. I'm also planning a few CVS & Walgreen's deals to get back into getting the free ECB & RR deals. And, of course I'll be busy studying for a Chemistry test, English research paper, Biology journal article paper, & kids are on spring break & will be at home w/ dad this week so I'll have to take over when I get home after classes everyday. Have a good week all! I'll update my deals at the end of the week.

Well-It's NEW Moon DVD release day! Woohoo!
I'm just really getting back into couponing. I'll start posting my deals here. I'll try to add pics next time.
Bri & I went to Publix Wed. & got a few good deals.
Can't find the receipt right now. But I got $168.00 worth of groceries for $94.64. Not one of my best trips but I did get some good deals.
Happy Saturday & enjoy the beautiful weather today!

Valentine's crafts

Well, I'm finally gonna post our Valentine's crafts that I've been promising.

Busy Mom's Bible

I registered for a FREE Busy Mom's Bible a few moths ago. I had forgotten all about until I received it in the mail today. I've already sat down & read some of it. What a great bible for mom's. I'm very impressed with the style of it. Very pretty & I love the devotions. I was so thrilled that I just have to show it off to my family & friends.

Okay-so I started my blog about a month ago, but I haven't posted anything yet. I'm currently a full time student majoring in nursing. I've just been so busy with school & taking care of my family lately. I haven't had much time to enjoy the things I like doing. I've done a few projects recently that I'll try to get posted soon.
