This week was full of couponing joy for me! After a couple weeks off from Walgreens, I found that my rebate gift card had been recharged so I eagerly scurried there to get some rebate items! Here’s what I got:
I got all this lovely merchandise using the following coupons:
Windex B1G1 FREE and 40 cents off any Windex
Oust B1G1 FREE and $2 off any Oust
$1 off any Garnier styler
$.75 off any Colgate toothpaste
I paid $9.02 including tax and I will get back $12.10 in rebates! Oot Oot!
Speaking of rebates, I did the happy dance this week when I got my Sambucol rebate in the mail! I bought it at CVS in January for $12.99 Using ECBs of course), got 10 ECBs, and now a money order (which I thought was weird) for $12.99. Oot Oot AGAIN!
At Kroger, where I went tag-team grocery shopping with my friend Luanne, I got all these wonderful groceries for $31.54!
My total came up to 56-something before my coupons! YAY for COUPONS! The six boxes Honey Bunches of Oats and the Propel were FREE and the Cheerios were only 50 cents a box. The Uncle Ben’s rice was 9 cents a box! After I paid, the cashier was most impressed and asked my for tips on how to coupon. I told her go to Money Saving Mom, of course!
Finally, my favorite as always, CVS. Once agan I went to CVS many times this week! I gots lotsa stuff I needed and didn’t pay REAL MONEY for, including cat food, paper towels, and milk! I also got a bunch of coupon boxes for the girls in my MOPS group – all for practically nothing out of pocket! Here is one of the transactions I did:
I used the CVS 5/15 coupon- and bonus! – the cashier scanned the CVS BRAND 2/10 coupon they have in a pamphlet at the pharmacy. I guess she was just feeling generous or something cause nothing I bought was CVS brand! I also used a 75 cents off/2 coupon for the chicken broth (which was B1G1 free), a 75 cents off Colgate coupon, a $3 off peelie coupon for the Schick razor, and a B1G1 Free coupon and a $1/2 coupon for the Dove. I used 2 ECBs and paid 67 cents cash and got back 2.99 ECBs for the Colgate and 2 ECBs for the Dove! PLUS there was a rebate form for the razor in last Sunday’s inserts so I will get $7.99 CASH BACK for that!! I love paying with ECBS and getting CASH back! Can I get a “what what?”
Allright, I am pooped, after Em’s & my IKEA adventure, which Em will post about Monday…we survived but that is all I’ll reveal! For more Super Savings Saturday coupon fun, head over to Money Saving Mom!
I’m trying to think of a recipe with Dove Eggs, Chicken Broth, and a Quattro Titanium….sounds like Easter Brunch to me! I can’t wait to hear about Ikea! I’ve tried your coupon’ing and ECB tips and will admit that I am still very intimidated and usually just cry a little. I’ll get there tho!
one of the cashiers told me that i couldn’t use the dove BOGO coucon bc it was the sale price….. i am going back tonight..and try again.. way to keep us all in suspense about IKEA…..
I see a lot of people getting that Honey Bunches of Oats cereal. Is it good?
Great job this week!
Oh, in reply to Bethany’s comment (I don’t see a link to your blog), my cashier had to push that Dove BOGO coupon through. She said there was no reason in the fine print why it shouldn’t go through.
MONDAY??? We have to wait until MONDAY? Is that because Emily delivered at IKEA and needs a couple of days to rest??
Off to check Google News to see about any births at IKEA. 😉
woo hoo, more box tops on the cheerios. Oh, and the swanson broth counts as a campbell’s label.
I went shopping this week and started at $57 before coupons, ended up being $28 after my coupons went through. I should have taken a picture and sent it to you!
I am doing a speech for my business communications class on how to get FREE GAS and FREE GROCERIES. I may be calling you for some pointers.
Great Job!!!!
Loving the deals you got. 😀

I laughed out loud at your “Coupons are the new black”. That was hilarious. Great job on all your deals.
I too love your “Coupons are the new black” title! Your posts are so entertaining!
Great work on the coupon-ing!
I got a money order for the Sambucol too and thought that was wierd. Oh well. I LOVE Ikea! We’re in Indy and the closest one used to be Chicago, but now there’s one in Cincy!
You just amaze me. You are awesome!!
FYI…I was informed tonight that as of April 1, 2008, Wal-Mart will no longer accept inernet generated coupons. I guess they will no longer be accepting my $$ either:)
