Word in Drugstore Circles is “Jenny Gets Around”

Oh my goodness, there were so many deals at Walgreens this week that I HAD to do a couple of them, and miracle of miracles they worked! SO once again I am a CVS cheater. OH, CVS you’re still the best!! I just can’t resist getting paid to buy stuff! I’ll go wherever they pay me!

Of course I still went to CVS, too. But I’ll start with Walgreens!

spent $2.46, got back $10

Ahh the infamous Robitussin deal! I paid $3.99 each for the Robitussin and 60 cents for the mentos. I used three $3 off Robitussin coupons and a $2 off Register Reward I’d gotten last week, and paid $2.46 with tax and got back a $10 Register Reward! Can you say profit??

I then took that $10 Register Reward and got this:

walgreens making $7 on this
Excedrin gels $3.99
Crest $3.79
Orajel toddler toothpaste $3.99 (for my little Sophie-So’s toofers)

I used my $10 RR and a 75 cents off Crest coupon, paid $1.84 with tax and will get back over $8 in rebates from the Crest and the Excedrin! Yippee!

Ok, on to CVS!

cvs - made $3

Loreal cleansing wipes $5.99
Glade Scented Oil Candle refill $3.59
Herbal Essences Shampoo $2.49
Total = $12.07
Coupons:

Paid with 4 ECB and some change and got back 5.99 ECB for Loreal and 1 ECB for the shampoo! Me likey da profit!

Then, I got this:

total zero out-of-pocket and made $3!
Milk $2.99
Herbal Essence $2.49
CVS Lotion $1.49
Revlon nail polish $3.99
Total = $10.96

I paid with 3 ECB adjusted down to 2.96. This made the total ZERO and I got back 3 ECB for the Revlon and 1 for the Herbal Essences!

Finally, there was this:
My mom needed body wash and Sophie needed 2-in-1 shampoo! Gotta keep that girl’s hair conditioned!

1 Suave Shampoo $2.59

Total = $2.57
I paid with 3 ECB and $1.12 tax and got back 4 ECB (it’s a monthly deal, buy $6 worth of Suave get back 2 ECB. I bought $12 worth so I got 4 ECB.)

Ok, FINALLY, I swear I am almost done, but Meijer was having their fabulous 1/2 Lysol sale which I always like to hit hard. I got ALL THIS for…

74 cents for all this at meijer

..wait for it….74 CENTS!!!! Woohoo!! I had a coupon for each item that was either $1 off or doubled to $1 off. That made the toilet bowl cleaners 4 cents each and the wipes 24 cents each. The all-purpose cleaner was 39 cents! I also had a $5 off catalina coupon I had gotten for buying 5 Speed Stick deodorants (which were $2 each, and I had five $1 off coupons, so I spent $5, got back $5!) which I used to bring my total down to just 74 cents. My cashier was MORE than impressed. Now I am way stocked up on wipes for us & some friends & family again!

Ok, I am finally done. I was very happy to come in at $1.50 under budget this week for household and groceries (yes, I DID also buy food at Meijer! Got a bunch of freebies!) How did you do? To see how more crazy couponers performed, go see Crystal at Money Saving Mom and Denise at the Centsible Sawyer!

  1. Two nights ago at Kroger the register spat out about TWENTY coupons. All but FOUR are items I use and brands I use, like, every day (I think there were four apple juices and a few organic milks in there)…and you just made me sooo nostalgic for Ohio with the Meijer reference! That place is the you-know-what.

  2. I thought of you on Thursday night. My mom called me and told me she had a $10 off coupon for Walgreens and since she wasn’t planning on going (and it expired that day) she’d give it to me.

    I went and got a Snickers Ice Cream Bar (yumm), a $5 Hannah Montana Sleeping bag for my niece (75% off), cotton face cleaner thingies, and gum. I paid $1.44 for it all.

    🙂

  3. I KNEW you were the one who bought all the Lysol wipes at Meijer!!!!!! I kicked butt at Walgreens this week too, especially with the $10 off $40 coupon – and I will be using my RR to buy the couple of freebies after rebate that they were out of….yeah baby!!!!
