Week 16

CVS
I hate when I can't find my receipts.
Trip 1 (estimated):
1 Schick razor 7.99
- 1 coupon x 4.00 = -4.00
= 3.99 (earned 3 ECBs)
2 Mrs Fields Cookies x 2.50 = 5.00
Some other things that I can't recall.
Out of pocket was about 8.50
Savings was about 5.00, and earned 3 ECBs.


Trip 2 (this was a good one):
1 milk x 1.99 = 1.99
- 1 coupon x 1.00 = -1.00
= 0.99

2 Venus Vibration razors x 1.19 = 2.38 (these razors run about 11 dollars at CVS, but I think they're being discontinued, so they were on the clearance table. I love the clearance table!)
- 2 coupons x 2.00 = -4.00
= -1.62 (YES- NEGATIVE! CVS gives overage on coupons that are worth more than the product. They get reimbursed for the full face value of the coupon. So, as long as you have some other stuff to use up the overage in your order, you get it!)

1 Schick razor x 7.99 = 7.99
- 1 coupon x 4.00 = -4.00
= 3.99 (earned 3 ECBs)

1 Crest pro-heath toothpaste x 2.99 = 2.99
- 1 coupon x 0.50 = -.50
= 2.50 (earned 2 ECBs)

1 2-pack CVS toothbrushes x 2.99 = 2.99 (earned 2 ECBs)

1 Orbit gum

1 2-pack hair clips x 0.39 = 0.39 (love the clearance table!)

- 1 CVS coupon for $5 off a $15 purchase
- 5 ECBs

Out of pocket = 0.77
Savings off retail(ready for this?) = 50.40

Trip 3:

I was curious. The store I frequent is a 24 hour store. I thought to myself, "Surely they don't start their new sales right at midnight... I wonder if they're activated early?" Well, they are. And since I saw the ad online... I knew that these awesome feminine products were going to be on sale for 4.99, down from like 11.00! That I had FOUR DOLLAR coupons for! Which would make them 99 CENTS! Now, I know that won't get all of you excited, but it did me.
This was a fabulous trip.

4 boxes Always Infinity x 4.99 = 19.96
- 4 coupons x 4.00 = -16.00
= 3.96

2 boxes Excedrin Migraine x 4.49 = 8.98
- 2 coupons x 2.00 = -4.00
= 4.98 (and earned 4.00 ECBs)

- CVS coupon for $4 off a $20 purchase that they emailed me.
- 4 ECBs
Out of pocket = 1.15
Savings = 52.80!!!! And I got 4 ECBs back from the Excedrin.

Shop n Save

We needed nothing this week. We had enough milk, cheese, eggs, bread, etc, to last all week. So, I was only going to buy the really good deals at the stores this week. SNS was the only store with a really good deal.

Bread .86
Popcorn 1.38 (I really should just accept that we eat a lot of popcorn and get a giant bag of it at Sams.)

SNS had a special going, where if you bought $25 in certain products that you would get a coupon for $10 off your next order. I had a lot of good coupons for these items, so why not... I did it.
1 Alexia Waffle Fries x 2.50 = 2.50
- 1 coupon x 1.00 = -1.00
= 1.50

3 Marie Callendar's Pasta Al Dente x 2.50 = 7.50
- 3 coupons x 1.00 = -3.00
= 4.50

4 Healthy Choice Complete Selections x 2.00 = 8.00
- 2 coupons x 1.00 = -2.00
= 6.00

2 Healthy Choice All Natural Selections x 2.00 = 4.00
- 2 coupons x 1.00 = -2.00
= 2.00

3 Chef Boyardee x .86 = 2.58
- 1 coupon x 0.35 = -0.35
= 2.23

32 oz Dannon yogurt 2.00

Out of pocket = 20.67
Savings = 20.64, and I earned a $10 coupon towards my next purchase. Hooray!

Walgreens
I went into Walgreens this week to get a card for a lady at work. Walked around and looked for clearance items. They are usually still on the shelf, with an orange tag. I found some fabulous cough medicine thing that works great for the kids. It runs about 10 dollars, and it was marked down to 4.74. There was a $4 coupon on the box! So, I paid about 80 cents for something that is about 10.00.
