CVS TRIP #2

I made a second CVS trip this week, even though I really did not need anything else. I had some ECB's that were expiring, and that would be like throwing money in the trash. Um, don't think so! And as you all know, I always try to buy things that will give me ECB's back. Here is what I bought.

4 Stayfree

2 CVS paper towels

2 Herbal Essence

4 Dove Deodorants

2 Degree Deodorants

Total paid oop was $2.65

Used $15.00 ECB's

Received $14 ECB's

Total cost of everything $3.65.

$2.50 of this was tax, so actual cost was $1.15.

REMEMBER PSSST?

I can remember many years ago when Pssst Dry Shampoo was very popular. It is a spray that you apply to your hair and then brush out. It absorbs excess oils, therefore "dry-washing" your hair. Evidently, they are promoting it again. Go HERE to request your free sample. I bought some of this a few years ago when my Father-in-law was bed-ridden and it really helped.

BI-LO BARGAINS

Bi-Lo had another big BOGO sale this week. While I didn't need much, I could not pass up some of the great deals. Everything that you see in this picture cost me just 8.89. Total before sale prices and coupons was 93.96. Almost unbelievable!

Here is what I bought:

2 50 oz. All Detergent

2 Woolite Oxy Deep Carpet Cleaners

1 Sara Lee Bread

4 Boxes Orville Redenbacher Popcorn

3 1 lb boxes Mueller's Spaghetti

2 Bertolli Pasta Sauces

30 Iams can cat food

6 Wise Cheez doodles

1 Keebler Graham Cracker Crust

1 Southern Home Cracker Crust

1 Southern Home Tomato Paste

1 Helluva Good Dip

3 Pasta Roni

1 Frank's Hot Sauce

2 Hormel Chili

1 Box Hot Pockets

This is not all that I bought. I had to pick up a little produce and a couple of other things that I needed. In all, my total was 101.48 before sales and coupons and 16.08 after. Great Deals!

FREE DOVE SAMPLE

Go HERE to request a free sample of Dove Daily Treatment Conditioner.

FREE RITZ SAMPLE

Ritz Ceackers are great, but have you tried the new Ritz Munchables? Go HERE to become a fan on Facebook and receive your free sample. In the past, the samples that I have received for becoming a Facebook fan have been the full-sized product. Don't know it that will be the case here or not. Guess I'll find out in 4-6 weeks.

CVS PAID ME

I went to CVS to stock up on deodorant, as if I don't already have enough. I had lots of coupons, as usual, and I ended up making 39¢. Not a big amount, but when you consider that I got all these goodies AND 39¢, I'd say that's pretty good. I bought:

2 Stayfree Maxi

4 Betty Crocker Warm Delights

4 Degree Deodorants

2 Dove Deodorants

2 Glade Sense & Spray Starter Kits

My total after coupons was 12.61.

I used $10 ECB's

Paid 2.61 out of pocket

Received $13 ECB's back, making a net profit of 39¢.

SMALL PURCHASE, BIG SAVINGS

My trips to the grocery stores have been very short & sweet lately. I am very well stocked on most things, so I only take advantage of the really good deals, or the things I really need. My before-savings sub-total was $20.00 and after bonuscard and coupon savings it was 6.83. I'm sure I won't get off quite so easy next week. BiLo has a great B1G1Free sale through Tuesday.

I bought:

2 4lb bags DC Sugar

3 Banquet Brown & Serve Sausage links

1 Spray & Wash

1 Healthy Choice Cafe Steamers

1 12pk Gingerbread Pop Tarts

I also received 10¢ bag credit because I took my own reusable bags.

FREE MILK & COOKIES

I really hit it lucky with my "free" coupons this time. I had a coupon for a free half-gallon of chocolate milk that I got when I entered a sweepstakes online. I also had a coupon for a free box of Oreo Cakesters when you buy Oreos, and another one for a free pack of Nabisco cookies when you buy a gallon of milk and another pack of cookies. This is what I got:

1 gallon Milk

1/2 gallon chocolate milk (free)

1 pack Oreos

1 pack Oreo Cakesters (free)

1 pack Oreo Fudgies(free)

I paid 5.74 for all of this. I think I got a good deal.
