So... that means 4 boxes of Hamburger Helper = $3.98 - $1.50 = $2.48/4 or $0.62 each!

DON'T FORGET:  Publix accepts Target coupons ladies and gents!  :-)

22 items at Walgreens!! - Week of September 21st

Here are all my Walgreens deals for this week!

Take a look!

(click on the picture for enlarged view)

So this week I wasn't planning to buy anything much at Walgreens since I was a little bored by the flyer preview.  Also, I didn't get a chance to take part in the $10.00 off of $40.00 ($10/$40) coupon about a week or so ago, due to me getting a late start so I have been kind of discouraged in my Walgreens shopping quest, but oh well... lol!

So here is what I did.  I decided to go after some of the EasySaver Catalog's (ESC) Free After Rebate (FAR) items since this month's are ending and there are not very many in the October ESC, which you can view here, thanks to IHeartWags.com.  Then, I coupled those with the Register Rewards (RR) deals that were eye-catching this week.  Finally, I picked out some deals for which there were coupons, I used both 7-Day Coupons, Instant Value Coupons (IVC) and manufacturer coupons.

Here are the details of my Walgreens adventure...

Next time, I will do like I did at CVS and steadfastly go with the Rebate Rewards and EasySaver Rebate deals entirely.  I think I did a little impulse shopping this time and will work on not doing it in the future.  :-)  It sure can be a challenge sometimes! :-D

23 items for $0.26 cents OOP at CVS!! - Sunday, September 21st

Hi everyone! Here is a picture of all my CVS deal finds!  

I'm so excited!

(click on picture to see enlarged view)

OK, so here is how I did it...

First, I went through the CVS ad preview on HotCouponWorld's website (link: here).

I combed through the CVS ad for this week and made a list of all the items that were entirely free or nearly free after ECBs.

My goal is always one of these 3 things (for max results yours should be too!):

1. Get an item TOTALLY free.
2. Get and item ALMOST free.
3. Get an item that I NEED for cheap or free.

After going through the ad I came out with the following items:

1 - L-Oreal Advanced RevitaLift Anti-wrinkle serum, 1 oz. (limit(lim) 1)

List Price (LP): 11.99, ECBs: 11.99, Coupon(cpn): 1.00, 

End Price(EP): FREE ($1.00 OVERAGE)

1 - V05 Shampoo, 15 oz.

1- V05 Conditioner, 15 oz.

LP = EP = $0.65 each (ea)

1 - Nivea for Men Body Wash, 16.9 oz. (lim 1)

LP: 4.99, ECBs: 4.99, EP: FREE

1 - Adidas Deodorant, 2.8 oz. (lim 1)

LP: 4.99, ECBs: 4.00, cpn: 1.00, EP: FREE (0.01 cent OVERAGE)

14 - SoyJoy Nutrition Bars, 1.06 oz.

LP: 10 for $5.00 (10/$5.00), 

cpns: $2.00 off of 10 ($2.00/10); Buy 1 Get 1 Free (BOGO) (3 cpns used); 

   & Buy 2 Get 1 Free (1 cpn used)

EP: 14/$3.00 = $0.21 each

1 - Mennen Speed Stick 24/7 for men, 2.7-3 oz. (lim 1)

LP: 3.99, ECBs: $2.00, cpn: $0.75, EP: $1.24

Note: Look for the "Bonus Packs" that include an Irish Spring Body Wash FREE; I got one!

2 - Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste, 4.2 oz OR Crest Pro-Health Rinse, 250 mL (lim 2)

LP: 2.99, ECBs: 2.00 each, cpn: 0.75 (on toothpase only)

EP (1 toothpase): $0.24

EP (1 rinse): $0.99

1 - Vaseline for Men hand lotion 3.1 oz OR Body/Intesive care lotion 10 oz. (lim 1)

LP: 2.99, cpn: 1.50

EP (body lotion): $1.49

1 - Doritos chips

LP = EP = $0.99 (thought I needed a filler item; turns out I didn't.)

The math:

1.30 - V05 Shampoo $ Conditioner

3.00 - SoyJoy Nutrition Bars

1.24 - Mennen Speed Stick 24/7 for men

1.23 - Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste & Rinse

1.49 - Vaseline for Men body lotion

0.99 - Doritos chips

(-1.00) - L'Oreal overage

(-0.01) - Adidas overage

--------------------------------------------------

Total before discounts: $8.24

Minus ECBs: $6.99

Total Out of Pocket (OOP):  $ 1.25 (for you, should be: $0.26 - when filler is deducted)

So, I started with $6.99 in ECBs that I had from the free Excedrin gel caps 20 ct deal and Aleve-D 10 ct deals on September 14th.  I purchased all the FREE items (like L'Oreal, Nivea, Adidas), then I included nearly free items that earned ECBs (like Speed Stick, Crest), and finally cheap items (like SoyJoy and Vaseline).

In this case I did not need to fill up my purchase so that I would not lose ECBs, but sometimes you do have to.  This means, if I have an ECB worth $3.99 and I have items that add up to $3.00 then it would be worth it for me to find an item for $1.00 and end up paying $0.01 cent rather than lose $0.99 cents by not adding in a filler.

Welcome!

Here is where I will begin to blog about my couponing adventures and experiences in Tampa Bay, Florida.

I've been looking for awhile and have not found any persons that can offer solid couponing advice for those of us in areas where our coupons are not doubled or tripled so I have decided to start this blog for those of us who live in the Land Of No Doubles (LOND).
