Me Likey Coupon

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!

Next up:

Cover Girl foundation $5.49
Cover Girl powder $0 (BOGO with the foundation)
Infant’s Advil $5.79
Energy shots $4.99
total = $16.27

Coupons: CVS $3/$15
Cover girl BOGO free $-5.49
$1 off Infant’s Advil q
Total = $6.78
I paid with $7 in ECB (adjusted down to $6.78) and 22 cents cash and got $4.99 ECB for the energy shots and $5.79 for the Advil. Yee-ha!!

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.
