Last, but certainly NOT least: CVS!!

OOP = $2.21 (The other stores have rebates, so you pay up front...but I heart CVS the most, because you don't have to pay actual cash up front, you can use the ECBs right away!)

Since I love CVS, I'm going to show a detail of the items...I needed the cortisone for my leg, so that wasn't a deal or anything, but I still paid less OOP that the stuff actually costs..haha.

Ban deodorant = 1.99
Alavert 15ct. = 5.99
CVS lipbalm = .99
Lamasilk = 9.99
Lamasil = 7.99
Cortisone cream = 3.99



Beginning Total w/tax = 31.99
Coupons used = (12.99)
ECBs used = (16.79)
Total OOP = 2.21

ECBs earned = $13.00

I also got CRTs for $2.50 off Nuprin (what is that?) and $1 off biore. Cool! I never get CRTs!

no cvs today...

I didn't go to CVS today. There are a few things I want to pick up, but there was nothing that I HAVE to have, so I'll just go during the week. And the coupons are majorly bad this week. What did I do today?

-Cleaned the garage...this includes using the blower!
-Cleaned the house
-Finished up my week long babysitting session...(Bubbles the hamster)
-Baked some muffins
-Ate supper at my parents' house

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.


1 - airwick = .97
2 - CVS tampons = 2.98
2 - Sure deodorants = 5.78

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:

1 - Olay ribbons shower - 5.99
1 - Olay (I don't remember, but it has a patchouli scent Tracy!) - 5.99

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!
