CVS- black friday that started on thanksgiving
I wish that I had some Extra Care Bucks to pay for this stuff with, but their sales have not been that great recently, and I used my ready-to-expires on things like milk. So, I paid cash for my first transaction, but I got lots of EBCs back! I can start rolling them again!
transaction #1:
1 contact solution x 8.99 = 8.99 (earned 8.99)
2 Herbal Essences shampoo x 2.88 = 5.76 (earned 4.00)
2 Herbal Essences stylers x 4.29 = 8.58
- 2 coupons for free stylers when you buy a shampoo/conditioner = - 8.58
2 Colgate Total x 2.88 = 5.76 (earned 4.00)
- 2 coupons x 1.00 = -2.00
1 Degree deodorant x 4.00 = 4.00
- $5/$30 coupon they emailed me
Out of pocket: 19.42
Savings: 21.99, and earned 20.99
Transaction #2:
1 Vaseline lotion x 7.99 = 7.99 (earned 7.99)
1 contact solution x 8.99 = 8.99 (earned 8.99)
- 8.99 and 4.00 and 4.00 ECBs earned above
$1 donation to whatever they were asking for...
Out of pocket: 1.70
Savings: 17.99, and earned 16.98!
So, my first trip to CVS in over a month, I spent a total of 21.12, saved 39.98 and have 20.98 to keep rolling! Yeah!!!!
Another trip to CVS....
2 energy shot things x 4.99 = 9.98 (earned 9.98)
earbuds x 6.99 = 6.998 (earned 6.99)
reece's cups (cause i love my husband, and they gave back ECBs!) = .89 (earned .89)
- 16.98 EBCs
= 1.59 out of pocket, 19.98 in savings, and earned 17.86 ECBs
Walgreens
black friday that started on thursday....
I did a total of 9 transactions at Walgreens this week. All in all, I got:
aquafresh 2 x 1.99 = 3.98 (earned 3.98)
infusium 2 x 4.99 = 9.98 - 2 coupons x 1.00 = 7.98 (earned 9.98)
body wash 4 x 5.99 = 23.96 (earned 23.96)
right guard 3 x 2.49 = 7.47 (earned 7.47)
dove 3 x 3.99 = 11.97 - 1 coupon x 1.00 = 10.97 (earned 11.97)
nivea 3 x 2.49 = 7.47 - 3 coupons x 1.00 = 4.47 (earned 7.47)
milk, pizzas, popcorn, crayons, cheap candy as fillers, etc, a few of which also gave a small amount of register rewards.
out of pocket: 23.95
register rewards earned: 63.50 (11 left for next time)
Total savings: 91.97
This is one of those weeks when I am over my budget, but it's really misleading. Several of the things I paid out of pocket for (like, crayons, energy drink, etc) shouldn't count in my 60. I try to keep myself to 60 for the "household" and "food" items. So, even though I show as over this week, I really don't think I am. But, I am willing to show the overage on my weekly budget, so that I can also show the crazy savings! :-)
Weekly spending total: 63.13
Weekly savings total: 164.18
YTD spending total: 1980.39
YTD savings total: 2878.89
Current ECB balance: 21.86
Current register rewards balance: 11.00

Meijer
A note about the cat food: I costs 6.19 a bag at Meijer. Meijer has a 5.00 off Purina One food on their website. It's good through the end of December. I print one out every time I am going shopping to get cheap cat food. The cost and savings don't count (because it's not people-stuff), but it does usually end up in the picture. This picture, for example. Because Phillip is usually the arranger of the groceries for the pictures.
