Ok, so I was a total CVS slacker AGAIN this week! I only went ONCE for myself and once for my BFF Luanne. Here’s what I got for me. It was kind of a weird transaction which I only did to make $$ and because we needed milk:

Milk $2.99
10 Icebreakers gum $10
Crest $3.49
Total = 16.48
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
Five $1/2 Icebreakers manufacturer q’s
$1/3 Icebreakers gum CRT
$1 off Crest manu q
Total = $6.48

I can’t find my receipt, but I paid with 6 ECB and some change and got back 8.49 ECB! 5 for the gum and 3.49 for the toothpaste. YAY!

My BIG coupon excitement of the week was at Kroger. They were having a big 10 item Mega-Event, where if you bought 10 qualifying items (there were many to choose from) you got $5 off your order. You could do this 3 times per transaction. So, I got all this:

for $28.91!!!! My total before coupons and the Kroger promo was $78.08! That’s almost 50 bucks I saved, and Kroger says with my plus card I saved over $87. OOT OOT! I was very excited to get some of the things (ice cream and icing) I will need for Sophie’s birthday party, plus things we use all the time (ADVIL! Peanut Butter!), all the other groceries we needed for the week and some fun items (Toaster Strudel! Glade Scented Oil Candles!) for such a bargain. I came in way under budget, as this was the only grocery shopping I did this week since we are well stocked on everything else. YAY and thank you Lord!

Well that is all for me this week. Hopefully CVS will have some more sweet deals next week and I will get off my butt and get them! For more great money saving adventures, check out The Centsible Sawyer and Money Saving Mom!

This week was CRAZY. I only went to CVS TWICE!! Sunday and Friday. Now that’s just very unlike me, but I was BUSY! They were already out of some stuff I wanted on Sunday, so this is all I got:

Freestyle $39.99
Milk $2.99
Soy Joys $4
Total= $46.98
Coupons:
$5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (My CVS takes competitor q’s)
up to $55 off Freestyle coupon (found on tearpad at CVS) – $39.99
Two B1G1 free Soy Joy coupons
Total = $-.01 The cashier added a penny “taxable item” onto the order, so it came to $0, and I got back 14 ECB!! 10 for the monitor and 4 for the Soy Joy! Yahooo!! I love making $$ shopping!

Then Friday I went back cause we were dangerously low on sippy cups!

Three Playskool Wash & Toss cups on sale for $3.59 each (I didn’t realize they were on sale so this threw my calculations off a bit! Whoops!)
Three 160 count Playskool wipes on sale for$3.99 each
Total = $22.74
Coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (I had though it would be over $25 with the cups at regular price – cashier let it slide! Love my CVS!!)
$4/$20 CVS CRT for Playskool
$2 CVS CRT for Playskool wipes
$2 CVS CRT (expired but my CVS takes them for 30 days) for Playskool wipes
Two $1 CVS coupons for Playskool wipes
Total – $7.54
I paid with a 7.99 ECB adjusted down to 7.54, paid 35 cents cash and got back 5 ECB for the Playskool deal! Playskool wipes are my fave so I was very happy with that one!

Now, happily, KMart in our area FINALLY did the “super double coupons” thing this week! They doubled $2 coupons up to $4!! Crazy!! Here is what I got!

I paid $2.24 for all of this!! My total before coupons was $39.10. Everything in the picture I got for free, except the peanut butter, which was $1. So I paid $1 for it and $1.24 tax for all these goodies!! Thanks KMART!

I also got paid three dollars by Meijer to buy 12 boxes of cereal and 9 boxes of jello, but I was too tired to take a picture when I got home. 🙂

Hope you all did great this week! To see how the rest of the crazy couponers did, check out Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom and CVS Superstars at The Centsible Sawyer!
