Week 51

It looks like I shopped a lot this week. It was more than I wanted too, but it's nice to just get out and walk around CVS or Walgreen's by myself.

CVS

Whoo-hoo! Good deal on cereal when we're down to just a couple of boxes left. They are on sale for 2.50 each. If you buy 4 (for 10 dollars) you get 5 ECBs back. That's a good deal on cereal (especially if you pay with ECBs!). I also had a couple of 1.50 off 2 boxes of Kellogg's that I printed from the internet. So, I paid 7 dollars and got 5 ECBs back.
And the toothbrushes were 4.00 get 4 ECB back... and I had 75 cent coupons for those, so they paid me 1.50 to buy them.
Out of pocket: 3.89 (paid with 15.50 in EBCs)
Savings: 47.52, and earned 15 towards my next purchase.
Yeah, I got all of that basically for what ONE box of cereal would have cost. You have to start couponing!!

Found out that even though the ad said that the deal limit on the Cereal was 1, it was actually 2. So, I scoured the internet and found a coupon. Plus, CVS sent me a $4 off a $20 purchase coupon, cause they're awesome like that. This was a good trip=
4 cereal x 2.50 = 10.00
- 2 coupons x 1.50 = -3.00
= 7.00 and get 5 back
1 razor x 8.99 - 1 coupon x 4.00 = 4.99, get 4 back
3 lint rollers x .99 - 3 coupons for 1.00 off lint roller= FREE
- the $4 coupon they sent me
Out of pocket = 3.02
Savings = 28.96
