My 4th of July Shopping Trip

It’s just not a holiday unless I can score some sweet deals.  So, I ran out to Rite Aid and CVS this morning.  There’s a new printable $5/$25 Rite Aid coupon that I wanted to make good use of. Here’s what I got!

First stop was Rite Aid:

Gilette Fusion ProGlide $9.99

Renu Sensitive contact solution $7.29 (twin pack wow!)

Comtrex $5.99

Oral b toothbrush $2.49

total =$25.76

coupons:

-$5/$25 Rite Aid printable

-$ 2 Gilette Fusion from 7/4 P&G

-$2 Oral B toothbrush from 7/4 P&G

total =$ 12.76 + tax and I got back 7 +UP rewards, 2 for the toothbrush and 5 for the razor. Also I will get back $7.29 single check rebate for the Renu and a $5 single check rebate for the Comtrex.  So the total profit for this visit is about 6 bucks. WHEEEE!

Next to CVS.  I keep my brother’s family stocked with some of their favorite items (my brother will ONLY use Charmin Ultra STRONG toilet paper – I do not want to know why!) so since many of them were on ECB today I went for it.  I got some nice SURPRISES at the coupon scanner too! A $5/$20 good that day only and a $1 off Bounty paper towels good that day only! whee again!

paid with 6 ECB, paid $13.92 + $1.85 tax, so $15.77. Got back 8 ECB, 5 for the razor, and 1 each for the Tide, Charmin, and Bounty.

Happy Independence from paying full price Day!  How did YOU celebrate?

Cheap Necessities!

DSC02152The kids and I had to run out to CVS real quick-like this morning for some necessities.  We needed milk and I needed more pain patches for my BACK (did I mention 1,000 times that I hurt my stupid back??) so I checked my coupons and the CVS ad to see what else I should pick up, as I had gotten a $5/$25 CVS coupon in my email yesterday and I wanted to see if I could make use of it!  So I formulated a plan and here’s what we got:

Milk $2.79

Bengay pain patches $5.99

Pantene hairspray clearance $2.49

2 John Frieda Root Awakening Shampoo/Conditioner $10

3 clearance Now & Later (mommy needs fruity candy!) 66 cents  (total! woot!)

Tums (mommy has heartburn!) $3.79

total = $25.72

coupons:

-$5/$25 CVS email coupon

-$1 Bengay printable

-$2 Pantene CVS coupon from scanner

-$2 Tums CVS coupon from scanner

-$3 John Frieda from recent insert

-$2 John Frieda from recent insert

=$10.72

paid with 6 ECB, so total was $4.72 + tax. I paid $6.05 and got back 6 ECB, 1 for the Tums, 2 for the Bengay, and 3 for the John Frieda.

So my net spent was LESS than the two items I needed, the pain patches and the milk. Yay!!!
