Walgreens Trip



So, instead of waiting on the military discount on Tuesday, I decided to do my shopping today while Brent was playing Father's Day golf. It seems that by the time Tuesday rolls around, a lot of the stuff is gone....plus, I have heard it through the grapevine, that the military discount is going away at the end of June :(


Ok....so here is what I did:

The Gillette and Old Spice Body wash were on sale for $4.50 with a $4.50 RR per transaction.

-Transaction #1: One Old Spice at $4.50 with $4.50 RR and I used a coupon from PG 6/6 that was B1G1 free, so I got two for free

-Transaction #2: One Old Spice at $4.50 with a $4.50 RR and I used a coupon from PG 6/6 that was B1G1 for a free deodorant. So, I got a body wash and deodorant for free

-Transaction #3: One Gillette at $4.50 with a $4.50 RR, so it was free.

The Finesse was $3.99. I had a coupon for $1.00 off (not sure which week or ad it was from) and it also had a $3 MIR attached in the ad. So, I got it for free

The Schick Hydro 5 was on sale for $7.99. It had a $4RR and I had a $5 coupon from the SS 6/23. I also have a MIR form for the purchase price, so I got razor and got an overage of $9.00

The Tena pads were not on any sort of sale, but I had an online coupon for $2.50 off and a MIR for up to $12.99. The pads were $12.99, so I got an overage of $2.50

The Colgate Total was actually from CVS, but it was the only thing I got, so I added it to this list. It was on sale for $2.99 with a $2.00 RR and I used a $1.00 coupon from the SS 6/6, so I got it for free

The Zegreid OTC antacid was on sale for $11.99. I had a coupon from the SS 6/20 for $4 off. That same ad has a MIR for up to $12.99. So, I got them for an overage of $4.00

The Brilliant PH Tampons were on sale for $5.99. They had a RR for $5.00. I had a $1 online coupon, so I got these for free.

The Renu contact solution was on sale for $7.50 with a $7.50 RR. I had an online coupon for $1.00 off, so I got this for an overage of $1.00

My grand total today was: OVERAGE of $16.50

**If I had purchase all of this, even at the sales prices, without coupons, register rewards, and mail in rebates, this stuff would have cost me: $76.50!

CVS and Walgreens Deals



So, I got a few good things today at Walgreen and a couple of things on Sunday from CVS, but it wasn't a spectacular week. Walgreens was out of a lot of my "money makers" but here is what I got:



At CVS, I got two Gillette Body Wash (no picture), 12 oz. They were on sale for $4 each with $4 worth of Extra Care Bucks for each one. I also used a coupon for $4 off the purchase of two Gillette Body wash from the Proctor and Gamble insert from 5/2. So, it was $8-$8 in ECB-$4 coupon. My grand total was: FREE with a $4 profit!!

At Walgreens, I bought 2 sets of Ouchless barrettes for $2.54 each. They each had a $3 register reward, so I got them for FREE with a $0.92 overage.

I also bought 6 Oscar Meyer Deli meats that were $2.12 each, making it a total of 12.72. I had two $1/2 coupons and two $1/1 coupons, so that brought my total down to $8.72/6 packs or $1.46 each.

I bought two Kraft Cheese slice packs for $2.12 as well.

I bought 2 Oscar Meyer Weiners that were B1G1 free. So, I paid $2.54 for 2, then I also had a $1/2 coupon, bringing my total to $1.54 for both or $0.77 each.

My total for the food was: $12.38. It was all Kraft Brand foods, and when you spend $30 BEFORE coupons, you can send in for a $10 rebate. Even though this wasn't quite $30 yet, I am close.

With the rebate, this food would only cost me $2.38. That is $2.38 for 10 items!!!

I bought two 27ct packs of Huggies diapers at $15.30/2. They also had a $3 RR when you purchased two. I also had two $3 coupons, bringing my total to $6.30 for two or $3.15 for a pack OR $0.12 a diaper, which is important to me because the best "regular price" deal I have ever found is $0.24 each! NICE...very happy about this.

I bought some contact lens solution that was on sale for $6.79 with an $8 RR. I also had a coupon for $2 off from the Red Plumb insert from 5/16. My total for this product was FREE with a $3.21 OVERAGE!

The last thing that I bought was some Huggies swimmers that were on sale for $5.94. Walgreens had a coupon for $2 off and I had a printable coupon for another $1.50 off making them $2.44. They are normally $8.99 a pack!

So....my grand total for Walgreens was: $6.99!!

CVS and Walgreens

So..I have been a bit out of it the last two weeks because of illness and family in town. However, I wanted to share my deals from the week. I did not get any pictures so this is just the run down.

CVS:

I got 2 Dunkin Hines brownie mixes. They were on sale 12/$10 so I paid a total of $1.67

I got a 9.5 oz Dawn dish soap which was on sale for $0.84. I had a manuf coupon for $0.50, so I only paid $0.34

I got a 12oz bottle of Herbal Essense shampoo and a 13.5 oz bottle of Aussie Shampoo. They were on sale for $2.99 with a $2 RR (limit 2). I also had a coupon for $1 off the Herbal Essense and $2 off the Aussie, making my total for both FREE with a $1.02 overage.

I also got a razor and blade set for $6.99 that had a RR of $6.99, so it was FREE.

My total at CVS was: $0.99

Walgreens:

I got two Old Spice 18 oz body washes. They were originally $4.49. I had a B1G1 free coupon and a RR for $4.50 when you buy one, so I got them both for FREE with a $0.68 overage.

I also got two Gilette 12oz body washes. They were the exact same deal, so I got them both for FREE with a $0.68 overage.

I got two Right Guard Deodorants. They were $4.49, but they were B1G1 free. I also had a $3/2 coupon. So, I got them for $0.82 or $0.41 each!

I decided I would like to try the new Off brand clip on mosquito repellant. They are normally $10 each. They were on sale for $8.99. I had a B1G1 free coupon, a $2/1 manuf. coupon, and a $2/1 WG coupon (which deducted $4 total since I "bought" two even though I got the one for free). So I got both clip ons (a $20 value) for $1.64 or $0.82 each.

My grand total was: $1.10!! I was pretty happy with that!!
