CVS Trip 6/30: Paid $.89 for $628.01 and got back $50 in Shell Gas Cards!

What I bought: 
20 Pantene Detanglers
8 Head & Shoulders Shampoo/Conditioners
11 Miracle Whip
72 various Hershey bars (Air Delight, Reese's, Milk Chocolate, Kit Kat)
1 Cheese & Breadsticks
Physicians Formula pH Matchmaker Bronzer
Physicians Formula Eye Liner
18 various Physicians Formula Concealers
20 Physicians Formula Matte Eyeshadows


I didn't use any type of gift cards or ExtraCare bucks - this was all done with CVS coupons and manufacturer coupons - paid less than $1 cash and got back $50 in gift cards.  So I made $49.11 buying these items!

CVS Trip 6/23: Fruity Pebbles Cereal, Huggies Diapers & Gerber Baby Snacks + $10 Gas Card!

I told you I'd be back with more CVS deals!  The next couple of weeks are looking really good so stay tuned for more great trips!

Today I bought 15 boxes of Post Fruity Pebbles Cereal, 2 bags of Huggies Diapers and 6 Gerber Baby Food Snacks.

My total was over $60 so I used 3 of the $4 off any $20 purchase CVS coupons.  I used 15 of the $.55 Pebbles Cereal MQ, 2 of the $3 Huggies MQ and 3 of the $1/2 Gerber Baby Snacks MQ.  I also used $16 ECB and paid a bit on a CVS Gift Card.

The Fruity Pebbles are part of a gas card promotion for when you spend $30 so I also got a $10 Shell Gas card at the end!

Kroger Trip 6/23: Free Diapers, Wipes & Baby Food

In January I signed up for a coupon booklet from Comforts for Baby.  I received it a few months ago and had held onto it because I had no idea where Comforts brand was sold!  Since they expire 7/1 I decided I needed to use them so into Kroger I went.  Bought an 82 count diaper, 72 count wipes and a baby meal for $0!

I'm not sure if it's still available but I signed up for it on their Facebook page.

CVS Trip 6/21 - Made $9.99 Purchasing Accu-Check Meters!

I haven't posted my CVS trips in a while.  Honestly, there hasn't been a whole lot that interests me in the last couple of months and my trips have only been an item or two.  The next couple of weeks are looking really good though so you'll be seeing more trips posted!

This trip I made early this morning and I made $9.99 buying Accu-Chek Nano Diabetes Meters!

You don't have to buy two.  I did because the 2nd one was still free!

I purchased 1 Accu-Chek Nano for $9.99.  I paid with a CVS Cash Card I earned last winter so it didn't cost me anything. I earned back $9.99 ECB on my receipt.  There's a Mail In Rebate inside the box so another $9.99 will be mailed back to me!  So I made $9.99!  I also used the $9.99 ECB I received and immediately used it to buy another meter for $9.99.  So I paid nothing and earned back another $9.99 ECB.

If you want to do this deal it's important that you do not use ECB to pay for the 1st meter.  You have to use cash/debit/credit or a gift card.  The rebate states you'll receive a rebate for the price after coupons so if you use ECB to pay for it they won't reimburse you.  The limit on this deal is 2 but you must do them in separate transactions.

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

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.
