update

I haven't been keeping up with posting pictures and deals. Getting lazy I guess...still doing the deals, and taking the pics, but I don't feel like looking at the receipts right now. I did get some great stuff at Albertson's tonight though, and I want to share that! 6 boxes of cereal for $10, less $3 in coupons = 6/$7!! I was very excited...3 boxes of Trix and 3 boxes of Cookie Crisps. We like our sugar around here ;-) While I was there, I also picked up two boxes of pop-tarts (big box) and one half gallon of milk. The pop-tarts were for 2/$5 and for buying that, I got $2 off the milk! Haha, so my milk was only 89 cents. I love when I see deals like that. But actually, it wasn't advertised anywhere in the store. It was only in the sales flyer...they did strategically place the pop-tart display near the milk though. Ok off to bed for me!

CVS - sure and tampons..

I don't think I'll ever pay full price for tampons again...thanks to CVS! I don't need to buy them again until they're dirt cheap, because well, I've been getting them dirt cheap for the past month. I now have enough for about 4 months! As a woman, this is exciting..LOL.

Came out with more ECBs than I started with, which is always my goal!

CVS - febreeze, ect...

Alrighty...good stuff. The cashier forgot to scan one of my coupons, but I didn't realize until I got to the car. So, I decided to go back in and ask about it...the manager just ended up giving me the cash. Did I mention I love CVS?

CVS - Olay deal!

This was great...I don't need shower gel or face cleaner, but these are things that I can give away if a birthday creeps up on me. Well, Asa decided when I got back with this that he wanted to use the shower gel, but that's ok because I do like it. Here's how it happened:

CVS July 4th

Had a $4/$20 coupon that I needed to use today! Sooo, because there wasn't anything that I really wanted from the weekly deals (and the store didn't have the monthly deals labeled, nor did they have the monthly book?!), I had to find some things to make my total at least $20. So I walked around the store looking for clearance items..and then also bought milk and bread. I only live with my boyfriend, so these two half gallons will last us 2 weeks..the date on both of them is July 17th! Exciting! Ok here's what I got:

2 - chex mix - $3.00
1 - listerine - 2.99
1 - OB tampons - 4.49
1 - DexatrimMax2 - 3.75 (clearance from 14.99!!)
1 - nemo chapstick pack - .75 (clearance from 2.99)
2 - airwick - 1.84
1 - bread - 2.79
2 - milk - 5.38
2 - buddies bars - 1.98
1 - pop tarts - 2.49



Total w/tax before ECBs and coupons 29.98
Coupons (ob, chex, cvs, buddies) (9.48)
ECBs (10.00)
Total OOP 10.50

Earned 1.50 from the OB and 4.00 from spring spending.

Overall, I feel like I did pretty good for getting the milk and bread. I also finally got to try the Dexatrim, which I would never pay over $4 for...I've seen this stuff for about $10 on sale before, but dang, that's a lot!

Soda....

I looovvveeee soda! A bit too much. I was drinking..ohh, maybe 80 oz of the stuff a day (at least it was the diet kind!) But I've also been having major headaches lately. I've been seeing the chiropractor and massage therapist and they both say my head is sooo tense. My wonderful boyfriend decided that maybe I should just try drinking water. And guess what - I feel about 70% better. Amazing! My head feels less tense (it's still tense, but I'm stressed about work lately, among other things). But anyway, I'm dying for a diet dr. pepper right now...it is sooo hard to resist. I'm sipping on my water though...

CVS - geez!

I forgot to write about my CVS weekend!! Well, it wasn't too special...I did the Lifesavers deal, with the BOGO coupon. The cashier never questioned it, but I'm reading on a couple blogs that it YMMV. This was the the Moss and Pont De Mouton CVS though, so I wouldn't expect those nice cashiers to be rude. Anya wasn't there, but it was the other nice girl...I keep forgetting her name! What else did I get? Well, I did the swiffer deal, because I needed swiffer dusters and I had a $1 off coupon. I also got the bottled water because I'm not drinking soda anymore. See my next blog about that drama! And I got the PF mascara and Garnier eye thing w/a coupon. I can't wait to go back...I've been looking at the July ECB book for a few days now and there are a few things I want in there.
