***Please note that my CVS takes competitor coupons. To find out if yours does, you need to ask the store manager.***
I didn’t do too much CVSing for myself this week, but still had fun getting the deals that were to be had. Here’s what I got!

I went into CVS to get some milk and found some great clearance deals!
Milk $2.99
Contour monitor $19.99
Colgate toothpaste w/toothbrush $3.49
2 Crest toothpaste $6.58 (I thought I was buying the ones on sale for $1.99 but I was WRONG! The store didn’t have signs on the ECB items, so it was hard to tell which were correct. Oh well!)
CVS jumbo pack diapers clearanced to 95 CENTS!!
Five Burt’s Bees chapsticks clearanced to 33 cents each!!!
CVS super glue $1.97
Total = $37.62
Coupons I used:

Contour monitor manu q up to $30 off adjusted to $19.99
Crest $1 off manu q
Crest 75 cents off manu q
Two $1 off Crest Walgreens ES q’s
$2 off Colgate toothbrush CRT
$1 off Colgate toothbrush manu q (printable)

Total = $8.88
I paid with 5.79 ECB and a 4 ECB adjusted down and paid $1.15 tax on my CVS gift card I got with a new prescription for Joshua’s eye incident and got back 5 ECB (for buying the monitor plus the Colgate!) Would have been 7 ECB if I’d bought the right toothpaste. BUT OH WELL! I was pretty happy with that haul! I loooove Burt’s Bees!!

Finally, my favorite transaction. I think we all know I have a *little* addiction problem issue with Mountain Dew. Well, CVS’ great sale and the fact that there was a competitor’s coupon made this MY WEEK!!

Five 12 packs Mountain Dew 5/$11
Two Oral B toothbrushes $3.98

And that is all I have to wow you with my friends. Walgreens $5/$20 coupon that came out Friday was too late for me to use BUT I did get to use it when I did my BFF Luanne’s CVSing for her so that was fun too. It’s still good today so if your CVS takes competitor’s q’s. print yours out here and run to CVS!

I had the usual fun at CVS this week. One thing I forgot to mention last time was that one of my fave cashiers asked me to get her started couponing! I was ever-so-flattered! So now when I come in she tells me about her deals. One day this week she was like “I’ve got like 6 razors now!” Rock on, girlfriend!

So here’s some of what I got:

Pert plus BOGO at $3.79
2 Crest $4.98
1 Colgate $2.99
1 Infant’s Advil $5.79
Total = $17.55
Coupons used:
CVS $3/$15 ( I also found out this week my CVS takes these for 30 days after expiration!)
$3 off Pert manu q
$2 off Pert manu q
$1 off Crest manu q
Two $1 off Crest Walgreens ES catalog q’s
75 cents off Crest manu q
$1 off Colgate manu q
$1 off Children’s advil manu q

Total = $3.80 – well it should have been, but she missed one of my Crest #1 off Wags coupons. But I do not complain if it’s a small amount, cause these people are very good to me! I paid with 3 ECB and about $2 cash (with tax) and got back $5.79 ECB for the Advil, $3 for the Crest and $2 for the Colgate. HOLLA!

And here’s my favorite transaction of the week:

Mmkay so it’s been established on this here blog that I have a *BIT* of a problem with Mountain Dew. Well, I only had three 12-packs left so I was gettin’ a little twitchy, but happily CVS had them on sale 5 for $12 this week and there was a Walgreens in-ad coupon for buy 3, get one “limited edition” Mountain Dew 12-pack free. HOLLA! So…

5 12-pks of Dew $12
1 Crest $2.49
1 Colgate total $2.99
Total = $17.48

Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
$1 Crest manu q
$1 Crest Walgreens ES catalog q
$1 Colgate manu q
$2 Colgate CRT
One FREE 12-pack Walgreens in-ad q -$3
total:$6.48
I paid with 5 ECB and $1.51 on a CVS gift card (got because Joshua had to have a prescription this week – more on that Monday!)
Got back 3.50 ECB, 1.50 for the Crest and 2 for the COlgate. Wohhoo! That’s how I like to buy my DEW!

I also did a smidge of Walgreensing this week, even though their RR deals make me nervous (because half the time they DON’T WORK!!) Since Kellogg’s had that FAB $10 rebate in the paper, though, I could not resist! For the Kellogg’s rebate, you had to buy 10 items in one transaction. SO I got this:

I used 2 $1/2 Special K coupons and 2 $1/2 Pop Tarts coupons and a $5 RR from last week’s diaper deal, and paid $13. I should have gotten back TWO $5 Register Rewards (one for the cheez-its/pop tarts and one for the Special K) but if course I only got one. However, there was no point in arguing since the WAGS people are clueless about their promotions and in my experience AT BEST will give you a form to fill out that you can mail to get your RR. With two cranky kids in the cart, it wasn’t worth it, especially since I am getting back the $10 Kellogg’s rebate, I will still profit $2 overall from buying this stuff. ANYWAYS!! I then bought this stuff:

2 bottles of much-needed Shout at $2.50 each
Pert Plus $3.79
Wyler’s $1
Pens 9 cents per 10-pack (with Walgreens in-ad coupon)

I used a $2 off Pert Plus q, two 75 cents of f Shout q’s, and my $5 register reward from the Kellogg’s deal. I paid $2.17 and will get back a little over $4 rebate for the Pert Plus and $2.20 for the Shout. So that was also a nice profit!

We didn’t need many groceries this week, I just got a few necessities and spend $7.79 thanks to my couponing STOCKPILE!! Yay!!

That’s it for me this week! How did YOU do!? To see how the rest of the frugal blogosphere did, check out The Centsible Sawyer and Money Saving Mom.
