Thrifty Thursday 10/20

I have to admit that this wasn't the thriftiest Thursday I've ever had.  My Kroger trip included only 2 coupons!  (I know, I can hardly believe it myself!)  And, I made a quick trip into Big Lots for some bath mats and ended up splurging on some treats for the kids which threw my budget off quite a bit.  However, my CVS trip and a few Food Lion deals helped to make up for it!

CVS had Almay cosmetics on sale this week, and I happened to have a $5/2 Almay Cosmetics CVS coupon AND a $3/1 Almay Cosmetics CVS coupon AND a $3/$10 cosmetics purchase coupon, so I had quite a money maker on my hands this week!  I used the extra ECBs I earned plus a $5 store coupon to buy some pull-ups and diapers!

Total value:  $43.72
Total spent oop: $1.82
Total saved: $41.90 or 96%!
(I used $4 ECBs on this purchase and got back $12!  A $8 money-maker!!)


I also made a trip to Food Lion yesterday.  I am beginning to find that I like Food Lion's produce section much better than Kroger's.  Plus, they tend to have a lot more meat marked down than Kroger does.  This week, they happen to be having their "cart buster" event - which is basically the same as a "mega sale" at Kroger.  When you buy 10 things, you get $5 off your total purchase.

One GREAT deal they had was on single rolls of Brawny paper towels.  They were on sale for $1 and, if you purchase 10 participating "cart buster" items, you get them for $0.50.  There happened to be a $0.50 coupon for Brawny paper towels in the 9/25 SmartSource insert, which made them FREE!  I ended up getting 9 rolls (I only had 1 other "cart buster" item I wanted to buy) & I had coupons for 4 of them, making it $2.50 for 9 rolls of paper towels!  Not bad!

Total value of all purchases at Food Lion: $59.59
Total spent after sales and coupons:  $26.38
Total saved:  $33.31 or 56%!

How did you do on your shopping trips this week?

My Favorite CVS Deals 10/16 - 10/22

Well, it seems to be a boring week this week at CVS, with no real exciting deals to speak of.  Don't forget about the $10 gift card promotion. When you buy $30 worth of select items (BEFORE coupons), you will receive a $10 gift card.  If there are things your family needs, this might be something you want to take advantage of!

Here are the few good ECB deals I see this week...


Get $8 ECB when you buy Lysol Healthy Touch Antibacterial No-Touch Hand Soap System @ $11.99 (limit 1)
     -use $3 Lysol Heathy Touch Hand Soap System printable coupon (previously available)
     *makes it $0.99 after ECBs!


Get $4 ECB when you buy Almay intense i-Color shadow, liner or mascara @ $5.99 (limit 6)
     -use $1 Almay color cosmetic product mc (Walmart coupon insert 10/09)
     *makes it $0.99 after ECBs!

Thrifty Thursday! 7/28

Today was a full day of shopping for me!  I made it to Target, CVS, Kroger, Dollar Tree, and Food Lion! 

My goal at Target was to pick up some clearanced toys.  Unfortunately, I didn't find any that I wanted or that were "cheap enough."  (Most things were only marked down 25 - 50%.)  I did, however, find some great deals on children's clothes and picked up a few things for my kids to wear this fall and next summer!  Here's what I got:

Total value: $70.80
Total amount spent out of pocket after sale prices: $25.33
Total saved:  $45.47 or 64%!


Next, it was on to CVS.  At first, I was disappointed b/c they were either sold out of what I wanted or the deals ended up not being as good as I thought.  However, as I walked around the store, I came across a few clearance and sale items that made for a few good buys!

The Tide Stain Release was on clearance for $3.36 and after a $3 coupon, cost me only $0.36!  Plus, the cereal was on sale 2/$4 and I had (2) $1.25 coupons, making them only $0.75 each!  The Crystal Light were coupon match-up deals - on sale for $2.50, I had a $1 CVS coupon from the coupon machine and a $1 manufacturer coupon that made them $0.50 each!  Plus, the soap was FREE after a CVS coupon I had!

Total value of 8 items:  $23.80
Total spent after sales, coupons, and ECB's:  $2.93  (I used $2 ECBs on this transaction)
Total saved: $20.87 or 88%!
Total ECB's received: $1.99


My trip to Kroger today wasn't all that thrilling.  I bought a $14 package of pull-ups that drove my total up.  They were totally out of all the cereal that I wanted from the mini mega-sale, though I did find some cereal / treat bars that were part of the sale that I decided to buy.   I ended up with mostly staple items - milk, yogurt, produce, fruit, lunchmeat, etc.

The Golden Grahams Treat bars above were $1.49 (if you bought 4 items in the mega sale).  I used (2) $0.50 coupons from the 7/10 SS to get them for $0.49 each.  The cereal bars were $1.89 (mega sale price) and I used (2) $0.50 (from the same insert??) that made them $0.89 each.  The sippy cups were buy one get one free - making this one $2.27 - not a bad price, especially since these cups are my favorite and we needed a new one!

Total value of 23 items: $71.63
Total spent after sales and coupons: $44.10
Total saved: $27.53 or 39%


After Kroger, I ran in the Dollar Tree to grab some bread.  I also ended up buying a package of Snapple ice pops as a treat for the girls.  I've never had these before, so I'm hoping they are good!

Total value / total spent: $3.08


My last stop of the day was Food Lion.  I had $4 in "Catalina money" that was going to expire, so I wanted to use it up.  Plus, they had a decent price on grapes and cheese this week.  I also ended up grabbing a FREE bottle of coffe creamer after a coupon I had been saving and a carton of Breyers ice cream.  (So, that was a little bit of a splurge!)  :)  I did find a good deal on 100 count boxes of Splenda packets - on sale for $3.  I used a $1 coupon that I printed from the Splenda website to get it for $2!

Total value of 6 items:  $25.06
Total spent after sales and coupons: $7.97
Total saved: $17.09 or 68%


All in all, it was a pretty good day!

Total value of all items purchased:  $194.37
Total amount spent after sales and coupons: $83.41
Total amount saved: $110.96 or 57%!

So, how have you done this week?  Come across any good deals?!  Please share them!

Thrifty Wednesday! :) (with Unadvertised Kroger Deals!)

Well, I decided to do my shopping a little early this week so I could work on my freezer cooking tomorrow and Friday.  I went to CVS, Kroger, and Food Lion this morning!

At CVS, all I bought was 1 box of Stove Top Stuffing mix.  I need it for the meatballs I want to make.  It was regularly priced at $1.99 and I had a CVS coupon for $1 off making it $0.99.  My total after tax was $1.01

Next it was on to Kroger.  I had several things that weren't on sale on my list today because of my freezer cooking plans.  There is still a mega sale going on, but I didn't really want anything from it except for Huggies wipes which they STILL didn't have in stock.  (If this happens to you, make sure you ask for a rain check.  It will be written for the price the item WOULD have been had you bought it as part of the Mega Sale - plus, it has no limit on the number of items you can get at that price!  Kroger rain checks expire within 30 days of the time they are written.)  Most of what I bought was dairy and produce.  I did end up getting FREE organge juice because it rang up incorrectly!!

Total value of 48 items: $114.62
Total spent: $60.18
Total saved: $54.44 or 47%!

The girls are going to Vacation Bible School this week, so I have my mornings free and decided I would get my CVS shopping done early this week!  (Plus, we were down to 4 diapers in the house....AGAIN!)

Here's what I got:

I found some candy on clearance today (which my children appreciated!) and also had a $3 Goodnights CVS coupon I had been saving which made those $2.99!  You will see that I spent more than usual out of pocket, but I'm not complaining with all the diapers and wipes I got!!

Total Value: $85.75
Total spent after sales, coupons & ECBs: $9.58
Total saved: $76.17 (or 89%)

I might go back later in the week to get a deal on cereal & to see if I can cash in a raincheck on the Motrin that was on sale last week.  All in all, a good week for me at CVS!!

I would love to hear what deals you get this week!  Let me know!

Thrifty Thursdays

I'm actually posting my Thrifty Thursday report ON THURSDAY this week!!!

I had a full day of shopping today and actually did pretty well at a few stores!  Here we go...


My first store was Walmart.  I had several free product coupons that I had been saving up that were going to expire at the end of the month, so I decided to go in and redeem those while trying to snag a few other deals in the process!  Here's what I got...

Total value: $25.24
Total spent oop after coupons: $1.94
Total saved: $23.30 or 92%!

*****DEAL HIGHLIGHT*****

White Cloud Baby Wipes (80 ct) regularly priced at $1.50
-$1 White Cloud Product coupon from June or July All You Magazine
*makes them $.50 each!

Advil "Pocket Packs" 10 ct (found at the register)
-$4/2 coupon from the 5/22 SS insert
*buy (2), makes them FREE plus $.32 in overage!

********************************

The next store I made it to was the Dollar Tree.  I went in for Father's Day cards and bread.  Here's what I ended up with (minus the Father's Day cards).  If you've never bought greeting cards at Dollar Tree, you should glance at them the next time you're in there.  The ones at our store are very high quality and only $.50!

It's unusual to find the large packs of peanut butter crackers there, so I was excited about that!  (I keep these in the diaper bag.  They come in handy when I need to occupy my children's mouths with something other than screaming!!)  :)  Plus, we are planning on having hamburgers next week, so the buns will come in handy.  I'm planning on splitting the packages of rolls and putting them in the freezer to save for future meals.

Total spent: $11.91


Next on the list was Food Lion.  My main objective there was produce and frozen pizza!  (I would have price matched my Food Lion items at Walmart to save a trip, but they don't always have the prices of everything listed in their ad.)  I also ended up buying some discounted ground beef & steak which drove my total up by about $10.

Total value of 8 items: $34.49
Total spent after sales & coupons: $23.28
Total saved: $11.21 or 67%!


After a break for a doctor's appointment, I quickly ran into CVS to redeem (2) FREE Hershey's candy bar coupons that I printed from their website.  I wanted to make sure I got them this week because Hershey's candy was on sale B2G1 for a penny! 

Total value: $3.60
Total spent after sale & coupons: $0.04
Total spent: $3.56 or 99%


Last, but not least, I finally made it to Kroger at the end of the day.  There is a new mega sale this week with the most exciting items for me being cheap Juicy Juice and FREE baby wipes (of which they had none - of course.)

Total value of 25 items: $57.39
Total spent after sales & coupons: $39.38
Total saved: $18.01 or 31%


All in all, I was pretty pleased with my day!  Here's the grand total:

Total value of all purchases: $132.63
Total spent after sales & coupons:  $76.55
Total saved: $56.08 or 42%!


How have you done this week on your shopping adventures?  I'd love to hear!

CVS Shopping Trip = unexpected FREEBIES!

I had a little free time on Monday without the kids and decided to go ahead and go to CVS.  Once again, I was pleasantly surprised that they had most of what I wanted!  I even found a few good deals that I wasn't planning on!

Here's everything I bought:

One of the great things about CVS is that they will accept expired CVS store coupons!  I found a few today that I was able to use:

Glade Plug-in Warmer $1.57
-used $1.50 off any Glade product CVS coupon
=$.07!

Secret Clinical Strength travel size deodorant $2.99
-used $2 off any Secret clinical strength deodorant CVS coupon
-used $1 off any Secret deodorant (from P&G $110 coupon book)
=FREE!

CVS Disinfecting Wipes $1.79
-used $1 off any CVS cleaning product
=$.79!

I also found a $1.50 off Bayer aspirin CVS coupon I didn't know I had and one for $3 off any $10 medical purchase that I was able to use also.  Moral of this story.....keep all of your CVS coupons!!!  :)

I spent a little more out of pocket than I needed to to b/c I got a little confused when I was checking out and thought the subtotal was less than it actually was.  (I know that those who know me are shocked about that!)  :)  Anyway, here was what I spent:

Total value: $44.15
Total spent oop: $2.69
Total saved: $41.46 or 94%!!

I used $11 ECBs on this transaction and got back $17.99 ECBs.

Have you scored any great deals at CVS this week?  I'd love to hear about them!

Thrifty Thursdays 6/9

I had a FULL day of shopping yesterday!  All in all, I ended up going to 8 stores!!!  (Not all of them for couponing purposes!)  :)  I'm going to highlight the ones where I bought things for the family...

First it was Kroger for my weekly shopping trip.  Kroger was definitely less than thrilling this week, with no real great sales to speak of.  It's been a bit of a sale drought there lately.  I did get 2 FREE Luna bars and a FREE Cliff bar after coupons, so at least that was something.

Total value: $67.40
Total spent: $44.43
Total saved: $22.97 (or 34%)


Next, I made it to CVS.  They had about half of the things I wanted still in stock.  Thank goodness once again for FREE diapers from CVS!  Here's what I ended up buying...

Total value: $31.65
Total spent after sales, coupons & ECBs: $1.18
Total saved: $30.34 (or 96%)!


I also ran in Food Lion for some produce and meat.  While I was there, I picked up two 4-packs of PediaSure for $.99 each after (2) $5 catalina coupons I had been saving!

Total value: $36.34
Total spent: $21.55
Total saved: $14.79 (or 41%)


Next it was on to Staples for some super cheap papertowels!  Bounty paper towels are on sale there for $4.99 right now.  Paired up with a $3 Staples coupon and a $1 Bounty coupon (from the $110 P&G booklet), I got this package for $.99 + tax!

I even made it to Target this week...mainly for a great deal on Nivea body wash.  I almost fell over in the aisle when they actually had a few bottles still on the shelf!  Here's what I got...

Total value: $16.01
Total spent: $4.46
Total saved: $11.55 (or 72%)

So....my totals for the whole day were....

Total value: $157.39
Total spent: $72.88
Total saved: $84.51 or 54%!

I'm always happy when I save at least half!!

So, what great deals did you get this week?  I'd love to hear!

CVS Deals 5/29 - June 4

Here are my favorite deals at CVS this week.  Not a whole lot to get excited about.  This is one of those weeks where you buy things you may not need in order to earn money to buy the stuff you really DO need!! 

I went this morning to exchange a package of diapers and picked up 2 FREE bags of M&M's.  I will probably go back at some point this week and get the razor.  Let me know if you run across any other great deals!

Impromptu Shopping Trip = BIG Savings!!

Today, while the girls were napping, I decided to run out to CVS and Food Lion to pick up a few freebies!  (Don't worry.  My husand was home - I didn't leave the girls alone!!)  :)


I was surprised to find that CVS actually had everything I wanted except for the Suave bodywash.  Here's what I got...

I was so excited to get a good deal on diapers because we were down to one pack!  Same goes for the pasta sauce, too! 

Total value of 14 items:  $62.61
Total amount spent oop:  $1.97!!
(I used just over $28 on this trip and got back $26!)

Next it was on to Food Lion.  When I was there last week, I picked up a box of Purina One Beyond cat food that was on sale for $2 and I had a $2 coupon that I had gotten with a free sample in the mail.  I noticed that in this past week's paper there was another $2 coupon for any Purina One cat food product, so I went back to get more!  (Today was the last day of that sale.)  I also wanted to see if I could use the $1 off ANY Marcal Small Steps product coupon that was in this past Sunday's RedPlum insert to get any deals.  And I did!!!  I found single rolls of paper towls regularly priced at $1.19 and 4 packs of toilet paper regularly priced at $1.49!!  I opted for the paper towels....

Total value of 8 items:  $17.40
Total amount spent oop: $1.40
Savings = $16 or 92%!!!

And, finally, I ended my shopping trip with a stop at McDonald's where I used my FREE Frozen Strawberry Lemonade coupon to get a nice treat!!

I'm hoping I do this well on Thursday when I do the rest of my shopping!

I went to Walgreens mostly because they had Purex laundry detergent on sale for $.99 after coupons.  We recently got a new washer & dryer and while I have probably 15 bottles of laundry detergent in my stockpile, none of it was the kind I needed for the new washer!!!  So...I've been looking for laundry detergent deals lately!  While I was there, I picked up some better than free toothpaste, some Easter M&M's and a few other small Easter basket items for my girls.  (Sorry, no picture this week.  I put everything away before I realized I hadn't taken a picture of it yet!)

Total value of 10 items = $39.07
Total spent out of pocket after sales, coupons, and Register Rewards = $6.62
I did not leave the store with any Register Rewards left over today.  I bought the toothpaste first, which generated the Register Rewards, and then used them to buy the laundry detergent and the candy.

Next was CVS.  I went in to pick up all the free items from the ad this week.  They were out the GUM flossers and Crest Rinse, so I got rainchecks for those.  Here are the things I did buy...

Total value of 9 items = $31.39
Total spent out of pockets after sales, coupons, and Extra Care Bucks (I used $12.58 in ECBs) = $1.64
Total Extra Care Bucks received = $13.97
I'm always happy when I get back more ECBs than I used!  Yay!

Last, I made my weekly trip to Kroger.  I really didn't have many coupon deals planned except for a few of Mega Sale items & some free toothbrushes (pictured below).  The rest was mostly produce and dairy items.

 
I only spent $3.96 on everything pictured above!  Not too bad since they are all definitely things I will use.  (Well, except for the toothbrushes - I'll be giving lots of those away!)

Total value of 37 items = $103.09
Total spent out of pocket after sales and coupons = $45.58
Total saved = $57.51 (or 57%!)

Thrifty Thursdays!

Yesterday I made shopping trips to CVS, Walgreens, Food Lion, AND Kroger!  This was a long day for me as I haven't shopped that many stores in one day in a while!! 

I started with CVS where I just wanted to pick up some free toothbrushes and cheap shave gel, but because I got $1 ECB back from using my green bag tag that I wasn't expecting, I actually made money on this!

Total Value = $11.27
Total amount spent out of pocket = $0.02
I used $7 ECB toward this purchase but got back $7.50! 

Next, I went in to Walgreens for some free items and cheap apple juice.  (We were down to 1 jug and my kids would not be happy if we ran out!)  :)

Total value of 14 items: $34.70
Total spent out of pocket after sales, coupons, and Register Rewards = $5.29
I made 4 transactions in this visit.

Next, I went in to Food Lion just to get cheap potatoes, ground beef, FREE butter, and cheap barbeque sauce.  I also ended up picking up some deli turkey b/c I didn't realize it was on sale!

Total value of 14 items = $36.96
Total spent after sales & coupons = $16.84
Total savings = $20.12 or 54%

Last, but not least, I made my weekly trip to Kroger.  There was nothing terribly exciting to talk about this week.  My favorite coffee was on sale, which was nice, and I picked up some cheap cinnamon rolls as a treat for the kids to have this weekend.  Oh, and the Nabisco Snak Saks were on sale for $1 again!  I bought 5 bags to add to the ones I still have left over from the last sale so we will be stocked for the spring months.  They are only on sale through Saturday, so if you want to get any, hurry over there!

Total value of 35 items = $112.04
Total spent after sales & coupons = $66.34
Total savings = $45.70 or 41%


Whew!  just typing all of that makes me remember how tired I was when I got home!!  How did you all do this week?  I'd love to hear!

Thrifty Thursdays - Another Friday Edition!

Have you all noticed yet that it's almost impossible for me to keep this blog updated regularly!  :)  I'm sure it has nothing to do with my two kids.....

ANYWAY, here are the totals from my shopping trip yesterday.  I made it to Walgreens and Kroger.  It had been a while since I shopped at Walgreens, and - of course - they were out of pretty much everything I wanted, but I did find the Aquaphor lip balm and used the RR's I got back to buy my daughter's birthday party invitations and two packages of Always pads that I were $.69 after clearance prices and $1 coupons.  (By the way - be on the lookout for upcoming posts on how I am trying to make my almost 2-year old's birthday party as frugal as possible!)

Total value of 4 items at Walgreens: $23.04
Total Spent OOP: $4.69
RR's Remaining: $1

My Kroger trip was decent enough.  I found Balance Bars on clearance for $.50 each and had $1/3 coupons that made them $.16 each.  I also got 8 FREE bags of cat treats for my brother!  But, the best deal I got was a FREE Gilette Proglide razor - on sale for $6.99 and I used the $4 mc from the recent P&G and a $3 kroger digital coupon!

Total Value of 42 items: $129.20
Total Spent OOP: $58.89
Total Savings: $70.31 (55%!)

On a side note, when I went to CVS earlier in the week, I didn't realize that the Kids Oral-B battery powered toothbrushes were part of the ECB deal.  However, my mom told me today that she saw that they were.  Sooooo, I took one of mine back and exchanged it for a Cinderella toothbrush for my 4 year old to put in her Easter basket!  She will be thrilled and it didn't cost me a dime!  I'm going to be on the lookout now for good Easter basket fillers.  If you come across any, let me know!
