CVS Scenario 8/15-8/21

I haven't done any CVS scenarios in a while because honestly, I haven't been taking advantage of the deals.  Unless it was for diapers.  Summertime is usually really busy for us and I try to slow down on the deals to avoid adding more chaos in our lives.  I did the deals last week to get started again and did pretty good.  Here's what I did:

4 Xtra detergents $.99 each after coupons

4 Softsoap liquid pumps $.64 each after coupons

1 Razor $1.99 after coupons

OOP $3.85 and received $4 ECBs 

I also got a raincheck for the Lysol Hand Pump.  

This week I'm planning to do the following:

1 ProGlide Razor $9.99

- $4 coupon 8/1 P&G

- $4 ECB from last week

= $1.99 OOP, receive $5 ECB

2 Glide Floss $3.49

- (2) $1 coupons 8/1 P&G

- $5 ECB

= $.00 OOP, receive $5 ECB

1 Purex 3-in-1 sheets $5.99

2 Dawn dish liquids $.97 

- $3 coupon (purex) 8/15 RP

- (2) $.25 coupons (dawn) 8/1 P&G

- $5 ECB

= $.00 OOP, receive $2 ECB for next week

If you want to know what's on sale next week at CVS, be sure to visit Southern Savers for the complete coupon match-up.  I usually print out what I need to get that week and figure out a scenario based on what we need or what's free.

Enjoy!

Shopping Trip: Publix and CVS 5/13/10

Man, I have been having serious withdrawals from not doing "the deals" at Publix and CVS.  I still have not gone back to Walgreens.  The last time I did any deals was April 17th and that was because my hubby and I had a date night and needed to kill some time and I had some ECB & RR that were going to expire.  Before that I think it was March 28th.  After I did inventory of our stockpile, I decided to cut back on CVS and Walgreens.  We continued to purchase fresh produce at the Farmers' Market and other stores.  I just didn't bother taking pictures every time we came home.  Anyway, so here's what I picked up today:

Publix

Welch's Juice $.99 x 7

Publix Greenwise TP $.01

Publix Eggs $1.19

McCormick Grinder $.50 x 3

Mahatma Rice $.19 x 3

McCormick Marinade Packets FREE x 6 + $1.20 overage

Hunt's Ketchup $1.15 x 2

Yoplait Simply $.29 x 4

Breyer's Ice Cream $2.50

Bandaids $1.00

Palmolive Dish Liquid $.30 x 4
Corn $.25 x 4

Schick Shave Cream FREE x 2

Schick 3 Blade Razor FREE

Johnson's Buddy Bar FREE

Carefree Pantiliners FREE x 4

= $17.16 + $2.50 tax = $19.66 OOP, saved $92.21

CVS

1st order

Right Guard Deodorant $2.49 x 2

- $3 coupon

= $2.33 OOP, saved $7.00, received $3.99 ECB

2nd order

Hydro 3 Razor $8.99

- $5 coupon

- $3.99 ECB

= $.63 OOP, saved $8.99, received $4 ECB

3rd order

Bumble Bee Tuna $.49 x 2

Kotex tampons $4.99

- $1 CVS coupon - but cashier manually keyed it in for $.97

- $1 coupon

- $4 ECB

= $.38 OOP, saved $8.87, received $4.99 ECB

4th order

Claritin Syrup $9.99

Skittles $.89

- $3 CRT coupon - but cashier manually keyed it in for $2.89

- $3 Bzz Agent coupon

- $4.99 ECB

= $.73 OOP, saved $11.88, received $3 ECB

Since I haven't been rolling my ECB and I started out new, this was the best scenarios for me.  I am not buying any more toothpaste unless I just have to.  We have 40 tubes of toothpaste in our stockpile and I think that is a little ridiculous, but definitely something we use.  

On the above orders, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th orders totaled $.00 before taxes...the amount OOP is for tax.  The cashier had to reduce the amount of the ECB so I could use them.  It was a great trip!

This month we've been eating from our pantry and freezer, trying to stay out of the stores unless we run out of milk or juice.  Last week I did run out of both milk and juice and the kids were so good about drinking water.  Which is a big deal!  I had to add ice cubes to their cups so it would tinkle and they loved it.

Shopping Trip 3/22/10: Publix, CVS, Walgreens

CVS:

I just realized the price of the Huggies and will be leaving after the kids are in the bed to see if they have anymore on the shelf!!!  FREE Huggies using the $3 coupon!!!

**** So after the kids were in the bed, I ran back out at 7:45 p.m. to see if they had more diapers and they did!!!  I did 2 transactions, purchasing 6 more packs of Huggies at $2.62 each and used two $2 coupons and one $3 coupon on each transaction, leaving me out of pocket $1.41 on each order.  The best part???  I got my $5 RR for each transaction!  SO they PAID ME TO TAKE THE DIAPERS!!!!  This deal is not working everywhere, but if it is, you'll rack up on free diapers!

So far this month we've spent $154.63 on groceries and $34.98 on drug store purchases.  This leaves us $45.37 for groceries next week.  I think we might actually make it under budget for the month for the first time!!!

Shopping Trip 2/8/10: Publix, Food Depot, Kroger, CVS

Before we have our Super Bowl party Sunday afternoon, I wanted to pick up a few things we'd need for a couple of recipes.  I've been watching the prices of chicken wings and I can't believe they are nearly $3 per pound.  I mean we're talking about the wings!  So I went to Food Depot in the next town over because they usually have cheap prices on chicken wings.  I was so excited to spy out the reduce chicken wings for $.99 per pound!  They had to be sold by today and I put them in the bottom of my fridge to stay the coolest until tomorrow night when I'll soak them in buttermilk.  I also picked up a few fruits and veggie while there:

Food Depot:

Ground Cumin $1.88

(2) Lemon Pepper seasonings $.42 each

Gum $.83

(2) Packs of Chicken Wings $3.39 and $3.94 

Cranberries $.98

(6) Limes $1.00

Fuji Apples $.68/lb $2.72

Cilantro $.64 

(6) Roma tomatoes $1.20

(2) Red onions $1.00

= $20.88 OOP and no coupons

I also wanted to pick up the rest of the things I needed at Publix and get the deals while I was there.  I used the overage on the Knox Gelatin to buy 4 packages of Ground Turkey for FREE! I should have waited on the organic milk.  The kids were going nuts and I wasn't thinking straight.  I got home and still had 1-1/2 gallons left from previous shopping trips.  Kroger frequently reduces their organic milk from $2.99 to $1.49.  I used at $1/1 printable and wish I had saved it.   

Lesson learned:  don't shop in the late afternoon before supper...the kids go crazy!

Publix:

(4) Packs Ground Turkey $2.63, $2.61, $2.59, $2.63

(4) Knox Gelatins ($2.61 overage) x 4 (I used this overage to pay for the turkey)

(2) Smithfield Bacon $1.45 each

Nature Valley Nut Clusters $.99 each (peelie on pkg for $1/1)

Celery $1.49

Carrots $1.59

Potatoes $2.49

English Cucumber $2.29 (I'll be so glad when I can grow my own this summer!)

(2) Organic Valley Milk $2.99 each

(2) Yo Kids yogurt $.60 each

Athenos Feta $1.79

Nestle Mini Chocolate Chips $2.50

(4) Avocados $.50 each (These are so unripe, I placed a really ripe banana in the bag to help them along so I can use them Sunday for my Black Bean Salsa.)

(2) Kellogg's Special K Granola $.99 each

(4) Organic Pumpkin Puree $.50 each (on clearance rack)

(4) Lloyd's BBQ $1.74 each

Artichoke Hearts quartered $2.15 (for the Greek Garden Spread)

Publix sweetened condensed milk $1.99

.25/lb Pepperoni $2.35 - (they charged me for Genoa Salami at $9.29/lb...the pepperoni is only $7.29/lb and it should have only been $1.83 - oh well, I didn't notice it until I got home.)
