CVS run






I headed out to CVS this afternoon to get a few items from this week's ad. I got one children's advil to finish out this month's deal, and used a $1 coupon. I got a $5.79 ECB from this and used it on my second order. I also got 2 Stayfree using the buy one get one free coupon, for a total of $4.50 before tax and got $5 ECB back. The Kotex liners were $1.49, I used a $1 coupon and got $1.49 ECB back. And I got 6 boxes of Garnier 100% color haircolor, using 6-$3 coupons. My total for all 6 boxes was $12 and I got $10 back in ECB. I used $19.79 in ECB, $1.42 on my gift card and $2.77 cash oop. I earned $22.28 in ECB and I have $11.49 in ECB left of that. (I spent what I earned on the first order for the second order.) I will go back later this week for some more haircolor as this ECB deal is limit 5 and I've only done it twice now.

Good deals at Fry's and Fresh & Easy today





I looked through the ads this morning and came across the Fresh & Easy ad. I usually just cut out the $5/$20 coupon to use at Albertson's, but I noticed a pretty good deal. They had a "grill pack" of meat on sale for $4.99. It was 4.7 lbs total and included 8 pieces of seasoned chicken, 4 pork sausages and 4 hamburger patties. I decided to head out early and get some since I had extra time this morning. It was a good thing I went when I did because they had maybe 8 packages left of this deal. The limit was 4, so I grabbed 4 packs and a banana (I was hungry) and used the $5 coupon. So I got 18.8 lbs of meat for $15.52 with tax.


I headed to Fry's next to do the Nestle deal. I just found out my son has a cat, so I dug out all my cat food coupons. I got 13 packages of Purina healthful life cat food, using free coupons and 4 Purina cat treats, using the $1.50/2 coupons. It was $1 for all this before taxes and then I got the $5 off, so I had $4 in overage from this deal! I also got some more of the free nature valley granola bars. I only had 4 coupons with me, so I just grabbed 4 boxes. I grabbed a bundle of newspapers to use up the overage. There were 8 papers in the bundle and our Sunday papers are $2. My total was $13.88 after taxes and there was $3.24 in taxes!

A few quick runs today




I had to do some errands today, so I hit the stores close to my errands while I was out. First I went to CVS and got 4 tubes of crest for $1.24 each after $.75 coupons and I got $1 ECB back each. I also got 1 Revlon lash fantasy mascara which was $4.49 after my $2 coupon and I got $5 ECB back. I spent a $5.79 ECB and a $3 ECB and $1.13 on a gift card and got back $9 in ECB!

I stopped at Walmart for some of the All You magazines. I hadn't gotten any yet and I wanted to get some of the Kraft free coupons before the new mag comes out. I spent @ $9 on these

I then hit Walgreens for the Ragu deal. I got 6 jars of Ragu and used the $.65 ragu coupons that came in the spanish paper here a few weeks ago and two of the $3 RR's from the band-aid deal last week. I grabbed a pack of crayons and a compass-both at $.39 each-for fillers. I paid $.93 oop for all this and got back a $4 rr from the ragu. I also used the Monday code at the redbox in Walgreens for 2 free movies. (I used 2 different cards to be able to use the code twice.) One movie is for the kids-Waterhorse, and one for my husband and I- Smart people. I love free movies!

My total oop today was less than $10 and I got back $13 in ECB and RR to spend later.

A few more older deals



Trying to catch up on some of my older deals. I took the photos of each when I got home, but didn't get them posted. Here's some from walgreens and Cvs:





At walgreens I got: 3 Kellogg's poptarts, 2 Kellogg's rice krispies treats, 8 Lady speed stick deodorants, and 4 axe trial size body washes. I paid $7.50 oop and got back a $5 RR, a $10 RR, and 2 movie tickets!

At Cvs I got 1 dawn dish soap for $.38, 2 Sure deodorants free, 2 Covergirl cosmetics for $.50, and 2 colgate for $1.99 each (got back $4 ECB for these). I also grabbed some clearanced items: light bulbs @ $.55 a pack, labels for the label maker for $.40 and 7 packs of lifepack gum for $.25 each-I had a $3 lifepack CVS coupon I was able to use on these for some overage too. I used some ECB and a gift card for this order and spent nothing oop.






Here are some more deals from Walgreen's and some from Basha's later that week.
I did the Kellogg's deal a lot more at walgreen's as this day, they were printing 2-$5 RR for every 5 boxes I bought. After coupons, each deal was $8, then I got $10 back. I used other RR's to pay for most of it and I alternated the Lady speed stick deal with this one. I grabbed cheese sticks, a pocket tissue pack, Carmex, candy bars, and the Pharmacy coloring book with coupons in it as fillers. I spent @ $20 oop on all this and ended with @ $50 in RR-I used some the same day. I had about double what is pictured here as I went back out again in the evening.
I also grabbed some more free makeup at CVS, but they were out of anything else I wanted.
At Basha's I got free pens and pencils and paid @ $5 for the 6 Hunt's pudding, 3 orville redenbacher, 2 hunt's ketchup, and 1 can spaghetti sauce. I also got a $5 catalina back from the conagra deal.

School supplies & Bread





Here's another older deal I did a week or so ago.
I hit two Staples with my several of my children. We all got the limit on the deals and we ended up with:
54 Spiral notebooks for $2.70 (we go through a lot of these!)
60 folders with pockets and prongs-all free!
I also hit the bread store right across the street and got 8 loaves of
bread for @ $6. They didn't have great bread deals today, but still not too bad.
