…and came home with this!  I couldn’t bring myself to go all the way to Kroger just for bread & milk. So I put together a quick deal and ran down to CVS, so that paying CVS prices for bread & milk wouldn’t be so painful. 🙂

milk $2.49
bread $2.79 (OUCH!)
4 Suave Humectant shampoo/conditioner $6.67 total
3 Suave deodorants (for the previously mentioned manly brother of mine) $3.75 total
2 John Frieda luxurious volume $10
total = $25.70
coupons:
-$3/2 John Frieda printable
-50/2 Suave shampoo from Sunday’s Red Plum insert
= $22.20
paid with 17 ECB, total was $5.20 + $1.05 tax. So I paid $6.25 and got back 8 ECB, 3 for the Suave and 5 for the John Frieda. Not my best deal as I didn’t have tons of coupons, but since the milk and bread were $5.28 by themselves, I think I did pretty well, it’s like I just paid for the milk & bread, right!? Plus got those ECBs for next time, shampoo for my friend, and deodorant for my brother. I LOVE COUPONS! And of course, CVS. 🙂

I was excited when I saw that Suave products were on ECB at CVS this week for three reasons:

1) I keep my friend Tosh supplied with her favorite shampoo & conditioner, Suave Professionals Humectant, and I had a coupon for a FREE bottle!  2) I keep my hairy, manly, loves-to-shoot-animals-with-guns-and-eat-them brother, Andy supplied with his favorite girly,womanly, feminine deodorant, Suave 24 hour POWDER.  That’s right ladies, it’s strong enough for a manly man!  3) I am a huge nerd.

So – since there were also Suave coupons in today’s paper I was even more excited.

And then I got to the store.  I went on my way to church, which meant I wasn’t going to my regular store, which turned out to be a major bummer because at 10:45 a.m. on Sunday they only had ONE deodorant left!  The cashier said, “Is there any of that left on the shelf?”  I said, “No, I got the last one.”  She sighed and said that a lady had been waiting outside the store before they opened and came in and bought a TON of Suave deodorants and then complained that they didn’t have more. GRR!! People!! It’s not cool to CLEAR THE SHELVES!  I just wanted a couple more!  Arrgh.  Anyways, I had to adjust my deal a bit.  So here’s what I did:

4 Suave Kids shampoos (I love these for my kids and yes I DID leave some on the shelf!)  and 2 Professional shampoo/conditioner $10

Suave deodorant $1.25

Papermate pens .99

total = $12.24

Coupons:

– 50 cents Suave deodorant from today’s Red Plum insert

– $3 FREE bottle of Suave (it said up to $3 so cashier took $3 off, wasn’t that nice?)

-.50 off any two Suave Kids shampoos from today’s Red Plum insert

=$8.24

I paid with 6 ECB, and with tax paid $3.10 cash and got back $3.99 ECB, 3 for the Suave and .99 cents for the papermate pens.  The Suave deal is a limit of two, so if I can get my hands on more coupons, I might try another store to get my stinky brother a couple more girl deodorants!

What did you buy today?

I did some super-fun online back-to-school shopping this morning!   I got an email from Ebates that they were offering 10% cash back at Old Navy. WOW!  So I looked and Old Navy also has a 15% off coupon code! They ALSO have school uniforms on sale!  So I decided that the time had come to get Joshua’s school shopping finished.  I’ve already gotten him a few things, and today I got him three long-sleeve polos ($10 each), three more pairs of pants ($12) and a pair of shorts ($10)  After my 15% off my total was $76.01 including tax & shipping!  And I’ll get $6.40 back on the merchandise from Ebates!  I was super-pumped and now Joshua is all good for the school year ( I got some larger sizes in the pants, also.)

Here’s what you need to do this deal:

1) An Ebates account.  If you’ve never signed up for one, you also get $5 credit! Awesome!

2) The coupon code ONSAVE15 that you enter at Old Navycheckout.

If you have an Old Navy credit account, you can save 20% and get free shipping over $75!  Use code ONSTUFF20 if you have that.

Have fun shopping!
