Ok, so this week I set off to make sure I was completely organized with all my coupons, making lists of exactly what I was going for, and making sure I was matching my ads to my coupons in search of good deals. Here is what I did:
First stop CVS-
CoverGirl makeup on sale 5.49 the 5.49EB back. Well since I am an employ of CVS I got my 30% discount as well. Ended up getting back 5.79 in EB.. I dont know why that was. I had 2 different coupons one for $1/any CG product and then BOFGAPF (Buy one foundation get any CG product Free) used both of them, did this twice using 2 different cards made out like a bandit! I even had to get candy as a filler to make up the difference on using my EB.
Next Stop Target:
I had 20 of Electrasol 2.25 off coupons, used 13 b/c that was all that they had paid 8.42 oop now I have enough detergent to last me a year or longer !
Next Stop Kroger:
Pillsbury bisquits 10 for 10.. had .50cent coupon off of 2 so doubled , it was like getting them BOGOF.
1 Rotesserie Chicken on clearance for 1.00
2 cans of Lysol marked 2.99 used 2.00 off coupons making htem .99cents each, not bad!
Next Stop Walgreens:
Wanted to take advantage of their Febreeze and Razors and boy did I ever! I walked out of there with 8 razors , 12 bottles of febreeze, and 6 bottles of Dawn, plus some Glade plugin warmers... 2.86 oop
Next stop Walmart:
