Sometimes when I leave the drugstore with a bag of stuff I’ve pretty much gotten for FREE-99 as I like to say, I feel like a looter! A pillager! Even though I am a totally honest couponer, I still feel like I need to run out the door before they make me give everything back!

Such was the case at Rite Aid and CVS today.  My Rite Aid loot is above.  Here’s what I got!

Two Gillette men’s body was $5.98

Herbal Essences $2.49

Veet $5.84 (regular $6.49 but I get 10% off regular price w. my Rite Aid Wellness + card)

Coppertone $8.99

Scotch tape 3-pack CLEARANCE $1.25

total= $24.55 (I hadn’t realized I would get a discount on the Veet.  The manager rang me up and still let me use my $5/$25 coupon.)

Coupons:

$5/$25 Rite Aid video values coupon

-$1 Herbal Essences q from recent P&G insert

-$4/2 Gillette body washes from recent P&G insert

– $1 off Coppertone printable (coupons.com)

-$3 off Coppertone Rite Aid Video Values q

-$3 off Veet printable q (Veet.com)

-$3 off Veet Rite Aid Video Values q

-$1 off Veet Rite Aid in-ad q – this week’s ad

total= $3.55, tax $1.30 paid $4.85 out-of-pocket

Will get back a $2.99 rebate for the Gillette, $1.50 for the Herbal Essences, and received $2 +UP rewards for the Coppertone.  So, a profit of $1.61 for this trip!

Next – CVS was even better than I thought it would be!

I got:
Two IZZE soft drinks clearance 80 cents

Three Power Bars $2.97

Schick Hydro razor $8.97

Gillette ProGlide razor $9.97

Two Old Spice body washes $8

total = $30.71

Coupons I used

$5/$30 CVS email coupon I got this week – WOOT!

-$4 B1G1 Free Old Spice odor blocker body wash from P&G rebate coupon book

-$4 Gillette ProGlide q from last week’s P&G inserts

-$5 Schick Hydro q from today’s SmartSource insert

-$8 in ECBs I earned in last night’s trip

total = $4.71, $1.34 tax, paid $6.05 out-of-pocket

And I got back $8 ECB for the body wash (this was supposed to be limit 1, but they apparently made it limit 2!! so this was my good surprise on this trip!), $4 for the Schick razor, $2.97 for the PowerBars and $5 for the ProGlide razor.  So I spend $6.05 + 8 ECB and I got back $19.97 ECB which is a $5.92 PROFIT for this trip!  Woohoo!

I’m feeling pretty good about now!! Have you been shopping yet today??

This afternoon I headed out for a little “break” – what I call a break anyway – drugstore shopping without the kids!  I try to do as much as I can on Saturday & Sunday when the hubs is home.  Here’s what I SCORED!

Rite Aid:

Two Secret sheer minerals $8

Lubriderm $3.59

Milk $2.60

Total=$14.19

Coupons I used:

Two $2 off Secret sheer minerals from recent P&G insert – $4

Rite Aid in-ad coupon for $3 off Lubriderm – $3

Printable manu coupon for Lubriderm – $2

+UP reward for buying Old Spice earlier in the week – $4

total =$1.19

tax = 60 cents

paid $1.79 out-of-pocket and I’ll get back a $2 Single Check Rebate for the Secret. So, 21 cents profit on that trip! 🙂

CVS:

Johnson’s bedtime wash: clearance $1.49

Johnson’s baby powder: clearance $1.49

IZZE soda clearance 40 cents each $1.60

Two Gillette body wash $6 (I thought they would ring up $4 each.  My store starts next week’s sales on Saturday but they rang up at last week’s price. Score for me!)

Two Rolaids chews $7.98

Total = $18.56

Coupons I used:

$4/2 Rolaids products from this past Sunday’s inserts

$4/2 Gillette body washes (can’t remember which insert these were in)

$2/2 Johnson’s products prntable coupon

total = $8.56 + $1.19 tax = $9.75 out-of-pocket (I blew all my ECBs on baby clearance last week!!)  and I got back 8 Extra Care Bucks (ECBs), 4 for the Rolaids products (from this week’s sale) and 4 for the Gillette body wash (from sale that technically starts tomorrow).

so, my net was $1.75 🙂

A great shopping day!  And with the coupons that are coming out in tomorrow’s paper and new sales starting at the drugstores, I am ready to go back for more!

Yesterday thanks to a deal posted by Charlene at My Frugal Adventures, I got my little Sophie two pair of these adorable Gabby Crocs for $16.98 SHIPPED!

I used the coupon codes GABBY999 and STACK15 at checkout.  Economy shipping is free right now!

I also shopped through Ebates so I earned 4% back on my purchase!  If you’ve never used Ebates before, you’ll get a $5 bonus for signing up which makes it an even better deal!

Woohoo! Can’t wait to see these on my Sophie’s feet!
