PUBLIX 8/29/10, SPENT $14.58, SAVED 75%

I went with my daughter tonight because she needed a few things including formula. If any of you are not aware of the price of formula let me tell you that it is not cheap. The price is $22.49. So this is what she bought:

4 Athenos Feta Cheese
4 Select Harvest Soup
1 Wickles Pepper Rings
1 Similac Formula
2 Ritz Cracker
2 Nathans Hot Dogs
1 Pkg. Chocolate Chip Cookie from Bakery

The total before coupons was $42 and change. Total after coupons $14.58. And some people say it is not worth it to use coupons!!

Sorry there is no picture but we didn't want to have to unload everything out of her car and take a picture.

According to www.sundaycouponpreview.com, there should be a $3 off Wisk coupon in this weekends Red Plum.

Don't run out and use that coupon this week! There will be a Buy One Get One Free sale at CVS the week of 9/5 (32 loads). A price is not listed I am guessing it will be priced at around $8.99. That would make them $1.50 each after coupons!

Walgreens will have the 48 load for $6.99 with a $2 RR back the week of 9/5. So $1.99 after coupon and RR for 48 loads!

*NOTE: There are regional variations in newspaper inserts and I can’t promise you will we will receive this coupon. Also, all regions will not get this sale. The sale can be viewed at iheartcvs.com the Thursday before the sale. Let's all keep our fingers crossed! My guess is we will get it so that means make sure you have 2 papers at least!

UPDATE: YIPEE!! WE DO HAVE THIS COUPON!

MY CVS SCENERIO 8/29, SPEND $.25, GET BACK $6.99 ECB'S

My scenerio this week can be described in one word...BORING! There is nothing at CVS this week that I want or need. I have $7.99 in ECB's so I will do this one boring scenerio. But the good thing is I really could use them! This sale is only good Sun, Mon and Tues.

Buy Phillips Earbuds at $6.99
Buy newspaper $1.25
Use $7.99 ECB
Pay $.25 OOP
Get Back $6.99

For just $.25 plus tax I will get a brand new spanking set of earbuds and still have $7 in ECB's to roll into next week. OR...
Instead of the newspaper,

Buy 1 Tylenol Precise $7.99
Use $2 CVS Q from here
Use $2 from here
Pay $3.99
Get back $3 and $6.99

The following week you can do this deal if you are in need of Schick Razor Cartridges to go with the FREE Schick Razors you got a few weeks ago. :)

Buy Schick Hydro 4ct Cartridges $8.97
Use $2 8/8 SS
Use $6.99 ECB from earbuds
Pay only tax
Get back $4 ECB

I personally have enough razors and shave gel to shave the city of St. Augustine!

HEADS UP! There will be a diaper deal next week including Huggies and Pampers. Get $10 ECB wyb $25. I still have another $11.50 in ECB's so I could technically spend $12.00 OOP for a large box of diapers and wipes and get back $10 ECB. Considering the price of diapers and wipes, this would be a good deal for me, or should I say my kids!

DILLARDS 40% OFF COUPON EXPIRES TODAY

PUBLIX 8/27 SPENT $15.37, SAVED 79%

I had a few specific things I needed at Publix for a family get together this weekend. I utilized my raincheck for the Smart Balance Milk for 2 for $5. This is what I bought for $15.37 (by the way, my total before coupons was just shy of $50):

4 Smart Balance Milk
2 pkgs zucchini
bag baking potatoes
bananas
4 cans Select Harvest Soup
2 Mentos Gum
1 pkg. bacon
4 Morningstar Farms Breakfast Sausage
2 Lipton Tea Bags
Pie Crust
2 Kix Cereal
2 Bagel Bites

I plan on making another trip to Publix this week so I could take advantage of the Ritz Cracker deal with the Wags IVC. I will then scan the store and see if there are any rainchecks I need to get. This week was not spectacular for me so I may only end up spending $25 for the week!
