Excuse the mud on the floor - it's been a wet week!

I was really looking forward this weeks trip. I waited until the last minute to plan it, though, and was a bit stressed because I had misplaced my Keebler coupons.

HEB Trip - 11/12/11 - Breakfast and Pie with 57% savings! Similac, Pyrex, Jimmy Dean + more!

I rarely shop at HEB so this might actually be my first time sharing a trip! Thanks to Lauren at Fort Hood Savers for coming to AFC and sharing these great deals! If you shop at HEB frequently I highly recommend following the Fort Hood Savers blog - she posts so many great HEB deals!

Most of these coupons were found in-store at HEB and are usually hanging right by the products - so no clipping or printing coupons!

This trip was a bit involved so I'm going to post the coupons used underneath the individual products to avoid confusion. Also, you'll notice sometimes the coupon was for more than the amount - that's because the cashier manually entered the coupon for the value on the HEB coupon instead of the actual price of the product.

Breakfast Deal

2 DeWafellbakkers Frozen Pancakes @ $2.58 each
2 HEB Premium Orange Juice @ $2.50 each
- $2.50 Free HEB OJ wyb DeWafellbakkers Frozen Pancakes x 2
2 Jimmy Dean Sausage Crumbles @ $2.94 each
- $2.00 off Jimmy Dean wyb OJ MQ x 2

So, for this breakfast deal (pancakes, sausage and OJ!) the total was $7.04 total (or $3.52 per breakfast!) for items retailing $16.04 which is a 56% savings!

Pie Deal

Pyrex Easy Grab 9.5in Pie Pan (glass) @ $5.97
- $2.00 Pyrex HEB Coupon
- $.60 HEB 10% off housewares coupon
Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling @ $2.25
- $3.53 free Lucky Leaf filling wyb Pyrex
Betty Crocker Pie Crust @ $1.89
- $1.89 free Pie Crust wyb Pyrex
Sweetened Condensed Milk @ $1.42
- $2.39 free condensed milk wyb Lucky Leaf Cherry Pie Filling
HEB Light Whipped Topping @ $1.42
- $1.42 free whipped topping wyb Pyrex

For this glass pie pan and baking items the total cost was only $1.12. The original cost of the items was $12.95 which is a 91% savings!

I also bought a few other items:
2 HEB Brand Soda @ $2.25 each
Similac Formula 1.45 lb @ $22.88

This was a pretty fun week at CVS! They are having a great promotion through the end of the year where you spend $30.00 in qualifying products you receive a $10.00 gift card but I didn't take advantage of that this week as none of the products were items we needed.

Anyways, here is tonight's trip.

So I was paid to shop at CVS tonight! Spent a total of $13 ECB but earned back $20.00 and paid only $.87 for all of it.

Walgreens paid me $10 to buy Cottonelle Toilet Paper and Depends

I have to start by saying I was very hesitant to share these trips. It's the first time I have ever purchased something I have absolutely no intention of using. I'm not proud but I have been waiting for a good "money maker" to get me back into the Walgreens game and it just so happened to be Depends. There you have it.

For those interested I DO plan to donate all of these so if anyone in the Spring area knows of a senior center or non profit organization for disabled teens/adults or seniors please let me know! I want them to go to a good place where they'll be put to good use. I understand Depends are VERY costly.

All the products are not shown in the photos.

Transaction 1

4 Depends Kits @ $2.00 each

- $2/1 MQ x 2

- $2/2 MQ

Total = $2.00. Earned $4.00 Register Reward.

Inside of each of these kits is a $3.00 coupon good on any Depends. These are the coupons used for each subsequent transaction.

Transaction 2

4 Depends Kits @ $2.49 each (this store did not have them on sale)

- $3/1 MQ x 4 (adjusted down)

Total = $0.00. Earned $4.00 Register Reward.

Transaction 3

2 Cottonelle Toilet Paper @ $5.00 each

- $4 Register Rewards (from T1 and T2)

- $2 Walgreens Cottonelle Q

Total = $0.00. Earned $3 Register Reward

I did this deal a total of 4 times. Each subsequent transaction all had $0.00 out of pocket and I ended up with $3 in Register Rewards at the end of each. So in total I earned $12 Register Rewards - $2.00 I spent in Transaction 1 = $10.00 money maker.

I love getting paid to shop.
