HEB Trip 4/21/12 - Great deal on Stouffer's with free Chocolate Milk, Salad, Garlic Bread and Sherbet

They only had Chicken Parm and no Lasagna or Alfredo so I only did it 4 times. They should get more tomorrow or Monday so I'll go back.

Bought 4 Chicken Parm @ $9.98 each = $39.92
Used 4 of the $2/1 MQ - $8 = $31.92 total OOP
Got 4 Dole Cesar Salad Free @ $3.58 each = $14.32 saved
Got 4 Nesquik Powder Free @ $2.89 each = $11.56 saved
Got 4 HCF Garlic Bread Free @ $1.27 each = $5.08 saved
Got 4 HEB Creamy Creations Strawberry Sherbet Free @ $1.87 each = $7.48 saved

Total OOP was $31.92 and saved $46.44 ($78.36 retail) for a savings of 59% 

I have a picture of these items but I purchased other items as well so my actual total was $181.09 before coupons and $131.09 after coupons. Crazy odd that my 22 coupons equaled exactly $50!

CVS Trip 4/21/12 - Paid $.06 For $116.75 Retail And "Made" $17.78 In ECB

I haven't shopped the weekly sales for a few week so it was nice to be back. I had $12.99 in expiring ECB to use (they were actually already expired) and two $4/20 coupons to use. I spent $24.98 in ECB and $.39 on a Cash Card but I earned back $42.76 in ECB!

I could have done better if I'd bother to clipped Revlon or PF MQ but I've been pretty lazy lately.

CVS Trips 3/31 - 4/9: Paid $1.29 for $487.67 worth of Similac, Sobe, Luvs Diapers and Candy!

What I bought:
29 Similac RTF Formula
3 Similac 1.45lb Tubs
3 Luvs Diapers
10 various Candy Eggs (Butterfinger, Reeses, Snicker)
4 Twix
6 8pk Kit Kats and Reeses Cups
Gummy Bears (kid concession)
70 Sobe Lifewater

I had Sobe coupons for BOGO and they were on sale BOGO so that means 2 free per coupon! The Similac baby formula I used a $5 Similac check for each one purchased and combined those with $5 and $2 manufacturer coupons. The diapers and all the candy were free by using coupons for 25% and 30% off any non-sale item.
