Here Is What 10$ Got Me At CVS!

Okay couponers, if you haven't gone to CVS yet this week...PLEASE DO! I got a whole bunch of things and only spent 10$ and some change. How did I do it?! I used coupons and ECB's sillys!

Here's what I got:

6 Lady Speed Sticks (That you saw in an earlier post)
4 Irish Spring body washes for Ayyub
6 jars of Ragu pasta sauce
and 1 Cadbury Creme Egg (Because they are so YUMMY!)

The Speed Sticks are running a ECB deal where you buy 12$ worth of product and you receive a 6$ ECB.
They were on sale for 1.99$ each
Use 3 B1G1 Free coupons from the 1-29 SS (SmartSource)
Pay 6$ + tax and receive a 6$ ECB making them esentially FREE!

The Irish Springs were running the same deal. Buy 12$ worth of product and receive a 6$ ECB.
They were on sale for 3$ each
Use 4 1$/1 coupons from the 1-29 SS
Pay 8$ and receive a 6$ ECB

I rolled my ECB from the first purchase into the second so my OOP (out of pocket) total was 2$ + tax

The Ragu pasta sauces were running a ECB deal where you buy 10$ worth of product you receive a
3$ ECB
They were on sale for 1.66$ each or 3/5$
Use 3 1$/2 coupons from the 1-29 RP (RedPlum)
Pay 7$ + tax and receive a 3$ ECB

I rolled my ECB from the second purchase into my third so my OOP total was 1+ tax

I also bought a Cadbury creme egg in this transaction because they have a ECB deal where you buy 1 at .87cents and you receive a .87cents ECB

My total oop for ALL of this was 10$ + tax and I still have 3.87$ worth of ECB's left. REALLY I only paid about 6$ + tax for all of this stuff!

Head over to CVS and get these deals!
Happy couponing!

FREE Lady Speed Stick at CVS!

Okay couponers so here's a deal that I want you all to do this week at CVS. I want you to buy 6 Lady Speed Sticks or regular Speed Sticks (you can mix and match) and I want you to get them all for FREE.

Speed Stick is on sale this week for 1.99$. If you buy 12.00$ worth of Speed Stick products you get back 6.00$ in ECB's (Extra Care Bucks). WELL, we had a great coupon in this Sunday's SS that was a Buy One Get One Free Speed Stick. Use 3 of these coupons and you'll end up paying 6.98$ BUT you'll recieve a 6.00$ ECB so you'll only end up paying .98cents which is the sales tax making these FREE. The limit on this ECB is 2 per card so you could do this deal twice if you had 6 coupons...you would just have to do them in 2 different transactions. Also, you wouldn't be able to roll your ECB...If you did, another one WOULD NOT print.

This is one of those items that you'll never have to pay for again! I literally have about 20 of these in my stockpile!

Happy couponing!

Reader Response...How Do You Organize Your Coupons?

Okay, so I want to EVENTUALLY want to make a post on how I organize my coupons with uploaded pics. I have a specific way that I keep everything neat and tidy only right now...not so neat and tidy! I will upload some pics once I get everything under control. I have A LOT of coupons and this overhaul could take some serious time.

So I want to ask all of you how you organize your coupons. Are you a fan of the coupon binder? Do you use binders or any other sort of filing system? Maybe you like using envelopes or a coupon tote bag. Also, are you full of "organized clutter" or do you keep everything meticulous and organized neatly?

Even more ShopRite matchups!

Okay guys so here's a new link to an even extended list of matchups. Matchups!

Register Star VS. Times Union....Times Union!!

Yay! So okay, I used to just buy the Register Star every week and I was so disappointed because they only ever had ONE SS…no RP or no P&G. This led me to purchase some inserts from eBay. This worked but it was time consuming. Now I know I’m not the first person to discover this but if you buy the Times Union, you get all THREE inserts!!!!! I do not know ANYTHING about papers and I am totally clueless so I thought that our little area of Columbia County only had the Register Star. I am so happy! I learned something new today and I am very excited. What makes it even better is that its .25cents cheaper and you get so much more. This week there is over 287$ worth of coupons! So go out and buy your Times Union NOT Register Star. Be sure to buy AT LEAST two. I buy 4 because you want to have multiples of the same coupon. I will be posting a good deal at CVS this week that gets you 6 FREE deodorants and the coupon is in THIS week SS. Make sure you stock up couponers!

Walgreens Makeup Haul

So this morning I went to Walgreens (Wags) because I had to pick up some more face makeup. I had run out of my liquid foundation as well as my powder foundation. I use Maybelline NY foundation and it can get pretty pricey! I also had to pick up some hairspray because I had run out of that as well. Well as you can guess, I do not pay full price for my makeup. This is a luxury and because it’s a WANT not a NEED I only buy it when I can get it for a ridiculously low price. Let me tell you how I got 22$ worth of product for only 4.67$.

I had a RegisterReward (RR) that I had gotten a while back. A RR is sort of like “Walgreens money”. You get these when you buy participating products that run the special that week. RR do expire so make sure you check the expiration date! I knew I was planning on using it for makeup so I checked the expiration date and today was my last day to use it. I also had a 5$ Walgreens coupon that I received for buying a certain amount of makeup the week before. This printed because that as well was a part of the special. So I knew I had 9$ in Walgreens money to use for my foundations. Maybelline often runs a special of BUY 1 GET 1 50% OFF. My liquid foundation was priced at 10.99$ (YIKES!) and my powder foundation was priced at 9.49$ (UGH!). I looked in my stash of coupons and I found two 2$ off any Maybelline face product from the 12-4-12 RP so I was excited because that was another 4$ off. Altogether I had 13$ in coupons. Yay! I found some really nice hairspray on CLEARANCE for only 1$ so I grabbed that and headed to the counter. My transaction looks like this:

Hairspray- 1.00$

Maybelline liquid foundation- 10.99$

Maybelline powder foundation- 9.49$-50%=4.75$

Total= 16.74$ (SO not what I wanted to be paying)

Here comes the fun part!

Take off 13$ and add the sales tax.

Total out of pocket (oop) = 4.67$

I saved a grand total of 18.74$


Also, buy purchasing 2 Maybelline face products I recieved a coupon for a free clutch! I just entered the confirmation code as well as my address and they will be sending my FREE pink clutch in 2-4 weeks.
