MM Deal at CVS

This week at CVS, there is a deal going on where you buy 2 sunglasses and you receive a $10 ECB back. Well, it seems like the trial sized gods did it for us again. If you buy 2 of the Lens Cleaning Tissues at 99¢ each, it also triggers the ECB, making it an $8 MM. The UPC is 8 83019 00550 7. Here's a picture:

3 stores, 3 amazing trips!!

First on my list of the day was Kmart. I was there the other day and saw some Scotch pop-up tapes on clearance for $0.49 each. I remembered seeing a $0.75/1 printable coupon out there so immediately came home to print them, but wasn't able to go back to the store that day. So today I stopped there first. This is how I did:

3 rolls of Scotch Tape (clearanced to $1 each)
19 Scotch pop-up tapes (clearanced to $0.49 each)
-1 $1.50/3 rolls of Scotch tape Q
-12 $0.75/1 Scotch pop-up tape Q's
Subtotal: $10.81 before coupons
Total after coupons and tax: $2.88 (tax was $1.05)

They couldn't figure out how to mark the pop-up tape coupons down so instead they took them at face value and got as close to the amount as possible without going over. Plus, I got a $3 off any purchase coupon for scanning my K'ching card (their new rewards card) so a MM!!!! If anyone knows of any coupons on the Scotch pop-up tape refills, let me know as they were clearanced to $0.59 each. Also, the Scotch contour tape was clearanced for $0.64, I'd love if someone knew about some coupons on these too *hint hint*

Next on my list for the day was Walgreens. I had well over $250 in RR's to spend because of the Bayer contour meters deal this month, and they expired today so I had to use them up. I didn't buy a lot of deals, but instead spent it on things we usually don't get with coupons. Here's how I did:

1 Kodak Digital Camera $99.99
5 Tuf Paper Towels $0.89 each (on sale with in-ad Q for $0.59 each)
2 Slim Jim $1.39 each (hubby came, and so did the kids)
1 Plastic Food Storage Containers 20 pack $5.00
1 6 pack of raisins $1.00
3 York Peppermint patties $0.69 each (on sale for 3/$2.00)

1 Party cups $1.99
2 Kodak Disposable Cameras $7.99 (on sale for $4.99)
2 Neosporin 0.5 oz $5.99 each (gave $4.00 RR)

1 Headphones $7.99
1 Tote bag $5.00
4 Charmin 12 packs clearanced to $5.89
1 Plastic silverware $2.00
5 packs of Pepsi $3.00 (on sale for 5/$12.00 with in-ad Q)
-49 $5 RR's from Bayer deal
-2 $1 Charmin Q's
-2 $1 Neosporin Q's
-1 $2.00 Hawaiian Tropic Q
Subtotal: $292.07 before coupons and sales
Total after coupons and tax: $21.59 ($19.04 was tax) and rec'd a $4 RR for the Neosporin

Some of the items are for trains/exchanges and some are for Jayden's birthday party in 3 weeks.

Next on my list is a local grocery store called Jubilee. This week Duncan Hines brownie mixes are on sale for $0.79 each.

11 boxes of Duncan Hines Brownies $0.79 each
-11 $0.35/1 Duncan Hines Brownies (doubled to $0.70)
Subtotal: $8.69 before coupons
Total after coupons and tax (well in this case no tax): $0.99!!!

So, all in all, I spent $25.46 OOP and saved $464.23 today, plus I have $3 towards Kmart and $4 towards Walgreens! I'll be making some of those $0.09 brownies in the pan that I bought at Walgreens in a few minutes and then relaxing!

I was there when Kmart opened and they were out of a lot of items. And also, a few things that I planned on getting were higher priced than what they were mentioned on here. I didn't realize I had enough stuff for 5 transactions, and I only printed 4 $5/$50 so I could've used that too, but all in all I did pretty good. I know the H & S was almost 1/2 of my total too ($21 worth) but $1.50 each is a good price and my hubby uses it like there's no tomorrow. I'm hoping to go back on Friday as I still have tons of Q's (that's what I did last doubles and they were restocking) so hopefully my savings will be higher.

Total Spent: $73.65 (and have $1 RR and $4 ECBs to spend in the future)
Total Saved: $769.56, about 91%!

I didn't take pictures because I put most of it away before I thought about it.

The sad thing is, I thought I'd be all shopped out, but I'm still on a high from Kmart and Rite Aid!!

I <3 CVS!

So, thanks to AFullCup, I learned about this great hidden Neutrogena deal if you purchase 2 of the bar soaps, you get $10 ECB back. So this is my latest savings at CVS:

(1) Tylenol Allergy Multi-Symptom
originally $7.29 clearanced to $1.82
(2) Neutrogena bars
$2.99/each
(4) SkinEffects Lip Magnifier
originally $19.99 clearanced to $5.00/each
(2) Always Infinity 18 ct.
$5.99/each

-$1/1 Q for Tylenol
-(2) $1/1 Q's for Neutrogena
-(4) $2/1 CVS Q's for SkinEffects
-(2) FREE Always Infinity 18 ct.
-$4 ECB from Gillette Razor deal

Total w/tax: $15.07
Saved: $92.41
Rec'd $10 ECB back

I would've bought more Tylenol, but I only had one Q good for the Allergy Pills. They were also out of almost everything I wanted to get, and I only had about 1/2 hour to shop. All in all, still pretty good!
