My Great Deals - Aug. 3 - 9

I went to CVS and Walgreens this week. I stocked up on some much-needed goods, and saved a lot of money in the process. Take a look:





This is what I got at CVS.






(2) Chex Mix - 2/$3 (regular 1.99)
(2) Dawn dish soap - .88 each (reg. 1.69 each)
(2) Colgate Advanced - 2.99 each (reg. 3.89 each)

(1) Fusion razor - 9.99
(1) Childrens Advil - 5.79 (reg. 5.99)

(2) Cover Girl TruBlend makeup - 7.99 each
(2) Pert Plus - 3.69 each
(2) Index cards - 1.49 each
(2) Pilot pens - 1.99 each
(1) CVS toothbrush - .79

(1) candy bar - .79

Total before coupons: 58.42

Minus these coupons:
(1) $2/$10 CVS purchase
(2) .50/1 Chex Mix
(2) .50/1 Dawn
(2) $1/1 Colgate
(1) $4/1 Fusion razor

(1) $1/1 Advil
(1) B1G1 Cover Girl coupon -7.99
(1) B1G1 Cover Girl - in store special - 7.99
(1) B1G1 Pert Plus - 3.69
(2) $2/1 Pert Plus
(1) B1G1 index cards - in store - 1.49
(1) B1G1 pens - in store - 1.99
(1) Free CVS toothbrush - .79
(1) Free Hershey bar - .79
(1) ECB - 5.79
(1) ECB - 5.00
(1) ECB - 2.00


Total OOP = $5.90



*ECB's out = 12.79, ECB's earned this trip = 12.79!



* I really wanted to take advantage of the Buy $5 Pert product, get a $5 rebate on school supplies, but I kind of messed it up. The receipt only shows the price of one Pert Plus, and the other is marked as "free," so I guess I didn't meet the minimum $5 purchase. Oh well!




I had to wait until Tuesday the 5th to go to Walgreens, because that's when the Kellogg's rebate started. Here's a picture of what I got:




Here's out it worked out:

Transaction #1:

(6) Pop Tarts - 5/$10

(2) Corn Pops - 4/$10
(2) Froot Loops - 4/$10


Total before coupons = $22.00

Then I used these coupons:
(2) $1/2 Kellogg's cereal
(3) $1/2 Pop Tarts
$3 Register Reward (RR)

Total OOP = $14.00


* I earned (2) $5 RR's on this transaction, and I will mail in the Kellogg's $10 rebate using this receipt.


Transaction #2:


(2) Shout Wipes - 2/$5
(2) Frosted Flakes - 4/$10
(2) Corn Pops - 4/$10


Total before coupons = 15.00 + tax


Then I used these coupons:
(2) .75/1 Shout
(1) $1/2 Kellogg's cereal

Total OOP = 12.85


* I earned $5 RR's on this transaction. I wanted to use a RR from my previous Kellogg's purchase, but I was afraid it wouldn't print out since they were the same promotion.

* I also will submit for (2) $1/1 Shout wipes Easy Saver Rebate.


Transaction #3:


(3) Jif Peanut Butter - 3/$5

Used a $5 RR from Transaction #1

Total OOP = 0.00 - FREE

Transaction #4:


(2) gallons of milk - 3.39 each
(2) Welch's jelly - 3/$5 (3.34 total)

Used a $5 RR from Transaction #1

Total OOP = $5.12


*I wanted to use (2) $5 RR's on this last transaction, but the cashier said I could only use one.


Bottom Line for the Week:


For all the stuff pictured above (from both CVS & Walgreens) I spent a


total OOP of $37.87, not including remaining rebates, ECBs and RR's.




My net spending is 37.87 MINUS:

$10 Kellogg's mail in rebate

$12.79 ECBs

$5 remaining RR's

$2 Easy Saver rebate


$8.08 !!!!


(for products valued at $129.31)

That's a savings of 94%!
