Coupons...my new best friend.

Sunday started out all wrong.

First, I went to get my paper and they were all gone! I wasn't able to see this of course until after I'd paid my $1.50. I wound up taking the display copy after triple checking to make sure the coupon inserts were still in it--which worked out just fine, but gave me a little scare!

I had my CVS list and coupons in hand. I just needed two coupons from the Redplum insert to have myself a $0.21 shopping trip! (Plus taxes of course) THEY WEREN'T THERE! Downside of living in a smaller city. "Oh well," I thought, and the gears in my brain started turning.

I nominated Boy1 to come in and shop with me while Boy2 napped in the back and Hubs settled in and got his buck fifty out of the weekly paper. Right off the bat I saw that they were out of stock of two items I had on my list! Noooo!! All of my planning! My perfect shopping list...gone.
With quick thinking, a little luck and a lot of math, I filled my shopping cart and headed to the checkout counter.

After all the damage was done, I paid $16 for my cart of loot. I should probably mention that in that cart was a jumbo package of pull-ups that were $14.99 alone! I also got my favorite mascara, a bottle of shampoo, two bottles of mouthwash, a big box of band aids, dish soap, body wash, 2 cans of air freshener, a lighter for the grill, liquid hand soap, bottled water...am I missing anything??

The moral of today's story is: Always have a backup plan...or at least be able to come up with one quickly!

Drugstore Deals

I am new to couponing and the drugstore game. In fact, I only received my CVS card in the mail this weekend, so today was my first trip out to RiteAid, CVS and Walgreens. A lot of the deals I had planned were out of stock and I had ZERO coupons, but I feel like I did pretty good overall! Add the fact that I had to buy diapers, I'd have done even better. Here we go...








First stop: RiteAid

After all rebates, my total cost for this trip was nothing! I made a profit of $0.02! They were out of the Axe shower gel, 6 plug power strips and toothbrushes, but hopefully I can get in on these deals before they expire.






Next stop: Walgreens


I only had one thing on my list for Walgreens - I wanted to get in on the $1.99 laundry detergent deal. They were completely out, but I snagged a 5-pack of razors and a 4-pack of toothbrushes for $0.50 each.


Grand Total: $1.07





Last stop: CVS

I split this trip into 3 separate transactions. I spent a bit more than I would have liked, but Boy2 was almost out of diapers and diapers are expensive!


Transaction 1:
Blistex Medex, $1.50
Halls Cough Drops, 40 count, $1.50
Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom 24 count, $6.00
Sudafed PE Sinus Headache 24 count, $5.00
Children's Tylenol Plus Cold & Allergy, $6.00

Subtotal: $20.00
Deal: Spend $20 on selected meds, receive $10 ECB's
Paid: $21.35 OOP, Received $10 ECB's



Transaction 2:
Playskool Rompers Size 5 40ct, $10.99 x2

Subtotal: $21.98
Deal: Spend $20 on Playskool products, receive $5 ECB's
Paid: $10 ECB's, $11 + change OOP, Received $5 ECB's



Transaction 3:
Colgate 360 Toothbrush, 2/$4.98

Subtotal: $4.98
Deal: Spend $10 on select Colgate products, receive $4 ECB's
Paid: $5 ECB's





All in all I ended up spending 32 dollars and some change. I ended the day with no ECB's. I feel that I did pretty good for not having any coupons other than one manufacturer coupon stuck on a box of pantiliners that I didn't even notice!




What did you get this week? What do you plan to get?
