Mommin' It Up!

Couponin’ It Up!

This was a week where once again, I two-timed CVS with Walgreens, something which, until LAST week, I hadn’t done for months! But seriously people, I CANNOT pass up practically free diapers! So here is what I got at Wags:

Three Huggies Supreme $10 each
1 Skippy peanut butter $3
Total = $33
Coupons:
Three $5 off Huggies printables
1 $8 RR from last week’s deals
Total with tax = $12.93
Got back 10 Register Rewards for the Huggies!

I used that RR and the 3.49 one I had from last week to buy the Splenda, grape jelly, orange juice, and milk and paid about $1.40 for all that! YAY!

Then I picked up some more Huggies for my friend and reader Gwen who broke her ankle recently. She was lamenting that she wouldn’t be able to get out of the house and get some cheap diapers, and I couldn’t let that happen! Because I??? LOVE my readers!!!

Next, I did of course go to CVS to get some sweet deals there as well. I needed some Garnier hair products to support my new penchant for wavy hair.

3 Garnier hair stylers $10
Palmolive $1.49
Schick Quattro $8.99
Crest $2.99
Batteries BOGO free $5.99
Total = 29.46
Coupons:
$5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (my CVS takes competitor q’s)
three $1 off Garnier manu q’s
three $2 off Garnier Walgreens q’s
$4 off Schick Walgreens q
$1 off Crest manu q
total = $10.46, but the cashier missed one of my $1 off q’s, don’t know which one, but I didn’t make a fuss. I paid with 10 ECB and paid $2.37 cash including tax and got back 13 ECB! Yippee!

Well that’s all for me this week! I am hoping to hit CVS one more time on Saturday to get some of their great trash bags which are on sale but we’ll see. Hope you all did great too!

Coupons Make Mommy Happy

Well it’s 6:39 PM and I’m just now getting this post up, because I didn’t even have the chance to do any of my coupon shopping until this afternoon! I hit CVS and Walgreens and did not come away disappointed. It’s amazing how much a good couponing run can lift my spirits. When I got home I felt like a a real winner. 🙂 Here’s what I got!

I paid with a $4.99 ECB adjusted down to $4.89 and paid 63 cents cash. I got back 2.90 ECB for the Vitamin D and 4 ECB for the razor. Woot!!

Next I went to Walgreens, where I hadn’t been since I would guess, August or September. But the deals were too good to pass up this week!

Sambucol $12.99
Colgate Max Fresh $3.29
Excedrin $5.99
Two Extra gum clearance 65 cents each (filler!)

Well that’s all for me this week! Hope you all did great too! To see how everyone else did, check out CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer, Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom and Shopping Superstars at the Thirfty Mama.

This Week at CVS…

So, there were no super-hot deals at CVS this week that had me excited…UNTIL I heard there was a “hidden deal” money-maker on Neutrogena bars, at which time I ran out the door to find some! One of my CVS stores had already been wiped clean, but I was able to find a couple at my other favorite store! So I got these:

Which are $2.99 each. So, my total was $5.98 before tax. I paid with a $5.98 ECB, paid ZERO out-of-pocket, and got back 10 ECB for buying two Neutrogena items! These bars weren’t supposed to be part of the deal, but they were. YAY! I like making $4 for buying stuff.

I also had some stuff I actually needed to get, that I got at the first store.

Milk $2.99
Huggies $8.99
Two Colgate $5.98
Venus Razor $7.99

Total = $25.96

Coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon (my CVS takes competitor q’s)
Two $1 off Colgate manu q’s
$1.50 off Huggies manu q
$2 off Venus manu q

Total = $15.46
I paid with ECBs, I can’t remember how many exactly, but around 15, and I paid 78 cents cash and got back 9.98 ECBs – 4 for the Venus and 5.98 for the Colgate. Not bad for getting milk, diapers, and a fancy razor!
