You will get a $4 RR back for the Neosporin



Ok here is the fun part - you should have several RRs (at least $2 RRs) and I want you to use them - just remember that since you have a coupon for every item you have purchased - you will need to purchase some small filler item for every RR you use. Also note that there will be an 8 pg sales ad and a 16 pg sales ad - so I tried to pick the items that were Good Deals in both sales papers.

CVS Transactions - This is a slow week:



Note: If you have school supplies rainchecks this is the week to cash them in as there is a $5 ECB when you purchase $15 in CVS or Caliber School Supplies plus you can get the ECBs mentioned on the raincheck - this is a YMMV as your store may not allow you to double dip.

My Shopping Trip Sunday (OK part of my shopping trips)

This is part of my shopping trips from Sunday:

First Store: Walgreens (5 stores)

150 rolls of 20 ft Reynolds Wrap on sale for .99 and used $1/1 MQ (that does not exclude 20 ft)

so FREE

40 Bubble Mailers on sale for .39 ea and used $1/2 MQ so FREE w/overage

10 Got2Be Hair Styling Products on sale bogo for $5.99 and used $2.50/1 x10 MQs so .49 each bottle

All of these items were free after the ECBS

Compostion books

Sticky Note Pads

CVS Tampons

Colgate Toothpaste

Pilot Easy Touch Pens

On sale BOGO was Neutrogena cosmetics so I purchased 2 blushes on clearance 50% off, and 2 facial makeup removers. I used 4 x $3/1 MQs = all FREE

2 12 packs of Diet Coke - I had enough overage because of the coupons and ECBs used to purchase these items to get the Diet Cokes.

Bic Truimph Roller Pens were also BOGO and I had IP MQs that made all of them free.

With everything you see pictured and including my taxes was less than $40.00.

Just the Starbucks at a regular price of $7.99 a 4 pack would have been over $160.00

Not a bad day shopping. However, later I did hit Target and Dollar General but that tale is for another day.

Stockpiling for the Week of 8/2-8/8

Walgreen’s Coupons Needed:

8 x .50/1 Suave Deodorant Coupons from insert (you will need this many Qs multiplied by the number of transactions you want to do)

Purchase 4 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 4 = .76
Subtotal = $12.04
Use 8 x .50/1 Suave = -$4.00

Use $10 RR in T#2 = -$10.00
Total oop = $.47
Get back $3.99, $3.49, and $2.00 in RR or a total of $9.48 in RRs

Ok if you want to roll these RRs:

Transaction #1a:
Purchase 8 x Suave Deodorant 2.6 oz on sale 25% so $1.41 x 8 = $11.28
Purchase 2 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 2 = .38
Subtotal = $11.66
Use 8 x .50/1 Suave = -$4.00
Use the $3.99, and the $3.49 RRs from T#2.
(Set the $2 RRs from the Listerine aside each time and just stockpile those $2 RRs) so - $7.48
Total oop = .18
Get back $10 in RR

Transaction #2a:
Purchase 1 Vitamin Shampoo or Conditioner on sale for $3.99 = $3.99
Purchase 1 Butler Gum twin pack toothbrush for $3.49 = $3.49
Purchase 1 Listerine Whitenng Pre Rinse Mouthwash @ $3.99 = $3.99

Total oop = $.47
Get back $3.99, $3.49, and $2.00 in RR or a total of $9.48 in RRs

And that is how you roll RRs between those 2.

Now for the L'Oreal Everpure:

Transaction #3: Ok now here is where it gets funky. If you only did T#1 & T#2 and did not do T#1a or T#2a this is the way you would finish this Transaction:

Purchase 4 L’Oreal Everpure Shampoo or Conditioner on sale @ $6 ea x 4 = $24.00Purchase 3 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea x 3 = .57
Subtotal = $24.57
Use 4 x $2/1 L’Oreal MQs = -$8.00
Use the 3 RRs from T#2 = - $9.48
Use 1 $2 RR = -$2.00
Total oop = $5.09
Get back $10 RR that is only good on the next purchase of L'Oreal.

So you do another Transaction:
Purchase 4 L’Oreal Everpure Shampoo or Conditioner on sale @ $6 ea x 4 = $24.00Purchase 1 Penway 10 pk pencils @ .19 ea = .19
Subtotal = $24.19
Use 4 x $2/1 L’Oreal MQs = -$8.00
Use the $10 RR that is good on your next purchase of L'Oreal = - $10.00
Total oop = $6.19
You should not get another RR back unless there is a glitch in their system.

If you did T#1, #2, #1a, and #2a, and you rolled until you were done then do basically the same transactions (T#3 and the extra) listed above however, remember to increase the # of boxes of pencils you buy to equal the # of RRs you use.

CVS Clearance Items - Fleece Throws & Socks

Tonight at the CVS at the corner of Jefferson & Bluebonnet, I found a basket full of fleece throws on clearance for .25 and another basket full of both men's & women's 6 packs of socks for .60. Needless to say most of them came home with me. My total for what you see in the picture (minus some throws that my sister and my son grabbed) was $28.00. This winter we should be good & warm and have toasty toes.

School Supplies And Where To Get Them

One of my favorite Asst Mgr at Rite Aid asked me to put together a list of free school supply items and where to find them - so below is my list:

They have a 4 pack of Bic Highlighters on sale for .49. Head over to coupons.com and print out a $1/2 on any Bic Stationery items. Use 1 coupon and purchase 2 packs of highlighters and you have FREE highlighters.

Week of 7/26 @ CVS

Bic Truimph Roller Pens are on sale BOGO @ $3.99 (no limit)

Math: Purchase 2 @ BOGO $3.99 = $3.99 - (2 x $2/1 IP)-$4.00 = FREE

Let's have a quick lesson on rolling ECBs:

Pay $1.98 plus tax out of pocket cost
Get back $1.98 in ECBs

Transaction #2
Purchase 2 CVS Erasers, Push Pins or Binder Clips @ .99 ea = $1.98

Transaction #3
Purchase next 2 items, etc... and keep going until all your items are purchased.

Your total oop will be the original $1.98 plus tax and you will have $1.98 to spend on your next purchase at CVS. What you have just done is called rolling ECBs.

Anyone Want To Get $71.82 of Olay Products for $3.82 appox?

Starting 7/12 CVS has the Olay "buy $20 get $10 ECBs". You would need 3 different cards to do this as the limit is 1 deal per card.

However, since I have mine, dh, and son's - here is the scenario:

Buy 6 Olay products @ $3.99 ea = $23.94
Use 6 x $1/1 MQs = - $6.00
Total = $17.94
Get $10 back in ECBs

Do this on three different cards so:

$17.94 x 3 = $53.82
3 x $10 = - $30.00
Total = $23.82

Then apply for the Olay rebate that has when you purchase $50 worth of Olay you get $20 back.

TOtal = $23.82
- $20.00 rebate from Olay
= $3.82 for $71.82 worth of Olay

The rebate form is here: Skin Care Products, Advice And Treatments At Olay.com
