Marcal paper goods were on sale and everyone remembers those free coupons that were given out for about two weeks...

1 Marcel Small Steps 8 roll, on sale for 6.49

used $2 off coupons.

2 Marcal Small steps tissues B1G1 free!

I got two for free because i had two coupons for $1

1 Marcal Small Steps napkins, also a free coupon

I spent $8 there on all those paper goods AND a bag of frozen shrimp I was bringing to my friends house for dinner!

I think the cashier accepted too many coupons because it was beeping but then the manager came and put all of them through!

CVS - I got a link to a survey and I got 15 ECBs!!! Now I have 29 to spend. After today I will spend 14 but end up with another 15 or more!!!!!

I really love CVS, I have had the most success there.

CVS 8/8

Today I printed out the $5/25 coupon from the CVS.com website even thought I got only 3/5 questions right about prescriptions.  

When I went to my local CVS, I asked a girl about a sale and then she informed me that now she has activated the coming week sale so I could get BOTH this week's and the coming week's deals! Awesome me for waiting for Sat night.  

Here is what I got

1 Neutrogena eyeshadow trio (with spf 15!) on sale for $6.99

1 Biore foaming cleanser $7.99

1 Biore self preservation microderm mask $14.99

1 CVS Chapblock, free with coupon

Coupons used

-MFr $2 off Biore when you buy a cleanser and other product (comes inside the self-heating masks I buy from Biore)

-$1 off Neutrogena lip or eye cosmetic (I remembered later I have a $3 off from ALl You magazine! argh!!!)

-$2 off Biore from CVS receipt print out

-$5/25 purchase (I handed this to the cashier first)

-8 ECBs from previous week

Paid 13.64 with tax

Earned 10 ECBs from Biore, 2 from Neutrogena (which is a deal for next week but I got it this week.)

I was going to have to buy a $2.02 filler item to use the 5/25 coupon but instead I got something I actually wanted and will use!

Today in the mail I also got a coupon for a free bird treat from PetCo.  I appreciate this because Petsmart ONLY sends me coupons good for dog or cat items, and I do not own either of those animals.  Just me and Pio the Meyers parrot.

CVS, oh how I missed thee

I was on vacation/visiting family, etc for a month so now I am back to CVSing.  I missed, very sadly, the B1G1 Neutrogena deal.  

Here is how my deal went though:

2 boxes of Kashi Crackers

1 box GoLean cereal

@3/$10

1 Neutrogena Face Mineral Sheers @$12.99

Dillards

I went to Dillard's yesterday since I was at the mall.  They were having a huge bra sale and since I need a few new ones I decided to look.  I picked out one for $9.99, and then they asked me to apply for the Dillard's credit card.  Of course I only do that if they can offer me a good discount.  The bra was free after I applied! AND, they are sending me $20 Dillard's coupons to spend, you do not have to buy anything more than $20!  I always pay the balance right away, right when I purchase the item.  At Dillard's you can only use check or cash so be prepared if you go to take advantage of this offer. Basically I got $30 of merchandise for free there!

Harris Teeter doubles up to 1.98

Harris Teeter is having double coupons with a face value of up to $1.98

Read their policy HERE

I am going away for a few weeks so I can't buy anything perishable but I will go back to my coupon stash to check paper goods and any $1 off coupons which will double to $2!

CVS awesome deal

I am going on a trip and I wanted to get some energy/snack bars to bring with me, so luckily the Soy Joy deal came out at CVS.  I also needed a small bottle of Tylenol to bring with me, just in case anyone needs it.  This was a great week! I could repeat this deal if I wanted, but I don't really need so many bars or medicine.  

I bought:

10 Soy Joy bars @ $1 each

1 Tylenol Extra Strength @ 4.99

Coupons

(2) $1/5 SoyJoy, from their website.

$1 Tylenol extra strength product

10 ECBS

Paid: $2.09

Earned: 10 ECB, 8 from SoyJoy, 2 from Tylenol

CVS 6-20

I got emailed a coupon on Friday that expired Sunday for $4 off of 20, so I decided to do the Aveeno deal since I love all of their products.  

CVS

1 Aveeno PA Daily Cleansing Pads (they are oil free!!) @ 8.99

Saving on body products

In my attempt to save money I bought a "foot mask" that was supposed to exfoliate for $3 at Walmart.  Turns out it was very bad, all liquidy, but instead of throwing it out, I got out some bath salts I have had for a while, I don't use that frequently.  I added bath salts to the container of foot scrub and then it became actual scrub.  The salts added nice oils and a lovely scent.  My feet are going to be so soft!!!

I also reuse the body lotion pump containers because I have Say Yes to Carrots body butter but i do not like using it out of a tub, it is greasier and messy.  So I used a popsicle stick to put it inside the pump bottle.  

cvs 6-4

a few samples that arrived

A few of the samples that arrived recently.   

A while back my boyfriend ordered from Volpi and finally it arrived! Here are some photos.  Basically it was a small piece of vacuum-packed salami (called salamini! so cute!) in an envelope.  No adverts, no coupons.  Weird

I got the Aveeno haircare samples, not impressed because once you open the little packets they make a mess and you have to use them.  Not like the pantene shampoo/conditioners that come in little bottles you can actually bring along when travelling.

Pobre salamini alli solito

A bit blurry but you can see it on the package.

I might do the Aveeno hair care deal...I have a 2 coupon, but I am trying to hold out for the  Neutrogena or Aveeno "buy 15 get 5 ECB" deals they have so often.  I always use toner so I like to stock up.

FROM THE SPANISH SIDE:

We had free dinner at Captain D's since they have been sending my boyfriend so many coupons.  A free fish dinner with fries and a free fish sandwich.  Much better than I expected, though I try not to eat fried food ever.  :)  If you sign up for their "club" they will send you coupons too!

cheapie sunscreen

Right now at Walmart there are many many sunscreens on sale, from Neutrogena to Coppertone, the good ones that usually cost 8-12 each. They are on sale for $2 each.  There is a coupon for Coppertone $1.50 off!  I got a Coppertone faces oil-free for 50 cents!!!  I also bought another one to give to my younger brother who has oily skin like me, so this one is oil free.  I have to use sunscreen on my face because I put a lot of acne products

The Natural Dentist - waiting on my $10 rebate to arrive, has anyone else gotten it?  That will make this FREE plus some (I paid 9.98 and got 8 ECBs)

cvs mania

I have become a little obsessed with CVSing, I am getting very good at it.  From the last diabetes meter purchase I have spent very little money out of pocket.  

Today I did the 3M deal, as mentioned in Rachel's blog here.  

The coupons did not scan but at two different CVS' the cashier manually took off the amount, and I got two different kinds of hooks, 2 white and 4 faux metal.  Great deal!

I spent a total of $1.09 in taxes and I earned 5 ECBs, now I have a total of 10 ECBs to spend.  

Then when I arrived home there was a $4/20 CVS coupon in my email for the first time ever!!!  Are they tracking my spending??

A side note: Does everyone know that Harris Teeter is donig triple coupons this week??

Harris Teeter! 4-25 AND 26

We went to HT and used a few coupons on 4-25 AND 4-26, mostly groceries, one must be careful there and know the prices, however, they ALWAYS double manu coupons up to 99 cents, which is great! Their customer service is the best of any grocery store I have ever been to.

Snyders multigrain snacks (like sunchips) on sale for 2/$6, used 75 cents off coupon, paid $1.50

I saw the sale on Seventh Generation products so I went home and printed out (2) $1 off coupons...so on 4-26 I headed out again:

(2) 7th Gen. Automatic Dishwasher liquids for $1.99 each, (after coupons) a good price for such a quality eco-friendly brand

(2) Mrs. T's perogies on sale for 2/$5, used $1/2, paid $2 each and got a free ticket to Charlotte Knights baseball (minor league, we will probably not go but good deal anyway)

Sparkle 6 double roll paper towels on sale B1G1 at 10.68 per pack (WHO would ever pay that much??).  They ring up at half price, I used a 50 cents off coupon that doubled so I paid $4.34

Wheat Thins Artisan Flavors on sale for 2/$4

I used my B1G1 Free coupon and it came up as -$3.59, the orig price.  

I paid 41 cents for 2 boxes of Wheat Thins.  

There was a $1 off coupon next to the Special K, which was on sale for $2.50, 

Final price $1.50.

HARRIS TEETER

I read on a blog that they were tripling coupons, however, not all coupons will fully triple in value.  You have to be careful and watch the cashiers when they scan your coupons.  

Our bill before coupons was $40 + (I don't recall the exact amount)

We paid $22.03 for everything.  All of the groceries were name brand items for the most part.

Our "extravagant" buy was my boyfriend's three boxes of Kraft Macaroni and CHeese to take back to Spain as presents for his family and friends.  

Some examples of our purchases:

 Newman's Own salsa

Wishbone salad spritzers

Chex honey nut cereal

Kernal popcorn seasoning

Barilla pastas

...and much more!!

They have very good customer service at HT.

CVS trip with a 5/15 coupon!!

I had to go back to CVS because I had a $5/15 coupon that expired on March 28th!! too much pressure.  So I decided to take advantage of the Dove deal to get my 5 ECBs.

Here is what I bought:

FREE after coupon  -- I am going to donate this to a clinic I volunteer at.

Free Dr. Pepper and other Target bargains

Today we got our free Dr. Pepper at Target.  I also used my 0.75 off coupon on Lipton Cold Brew Iced Tea bags.  The box was $2.54, so after the coupon they cost $1.79.

Also at Target I bought Archer Farms Organic Lactose Free Skim Milk that rang up at $1.17! I would have bought more but only 2 of us are in the house and I am not a huge milk drinker.  

I used the coupon printer at the Gift Registry so I do not have to use my own printer to get them.  

More bargains in the near future...

Sharing the bargains...day one Walgreens and CVS

I started shopping there a couple of weeks ago, and had to spend a little more to start earning ECBs, however I still used coupons and got great deals.  The people who work at one of the CVS near my house look very carefully at every coupon and match it up with the product, does that happen a lot to anyone else?
