CVS Couponing: Week of July 24th: The Loot

  
This week's loot differed a little from what I planned.  All the things I had originally planned to purchase I lumped together in one big transaction with several items missing, as you can see above.  I left out the Cheez-Its (somehow at the store they just didn't feels worth it), the razors and shaving cream (they were out and I'm pretty well stocked, so I didn't bother with a rain check), and one of the notebooks (I really only have need for one write now- where I keep track of "to do's" for work).

Then, the Magic Coupon Machine gave me a $2/2 Shampoos or conditioners coupon!  So, I went back today to get my free VO5 shampoo.  The cashier lady said, "Isn't it great getting free stuff?"  And, yes, I have to agree.

Total value (read: CVS prices totaled before sales or coupons): $11.77
Total OOP: $0.14+ tax = $0.15 (I spent one $7.99 EB)

CVS Couponing: Week of July 3rd: The Loot

  
My shopping trip this week was a smidge more exciting than I expected.  In addition to the tampons, I also redeemed 3 coupons for a single can (9.5 fl oz any flavor) from Seattle's Best Coffee from several weeks back.  (Sorry, I forget which week's coupons they were in exactly...).  i also got a coupon from the Magic Coupon Machine at CVS for a free Hershey's Air Delight bar, which I redeemed as well.  I'm sad to say it was not nearly as good as the Hershey's Bliss Dark Chocolate that I picked up for free a few weeks ago.... oh well, free chocolate is free chocolate. :)  And the price break down... *que drum roll* ...is:



Total value (read: CVS prices totaled before sales or coupons): $8.93
Total OOP: $0.50+ tax = $0.54 (I spent a $2.49 EB as planned)
Remaining EB (to spend on my next trip!): $5 + $6.79 (both remaining from last week) + $2 (earned this week) = $13.79

CVS Couponing: Week Of July 3rd: The Plan

1 Tampax Pearl or Always Infinity Tampons, 18-20 ct. or Pads, 14-18 ct. $3.99
Per CVS: Buy 1, get $2.00 Extra Bucks, Limit 1
Use $1.00/1 Always Infinity coupon (P&G 6/5)

***I would prefer to use the coupon from 6/5 so that I can stop by CVS, which is apparently uber popular with couponers in my area, before picking up my Sunday papers.
(Final Price: $0.99)

Total Cost: $2.99 + tax

Total OOP for this trip to CVS: $0.50 ($2.49 paid in EB) + tax

EB remaining (for next trip!): $5 + $6.79 (both remaining from last week) + $2 (earned this week) = $13.79

I'm sad to say, there's not a whole lot I'm interested in buying this week.  If they have the John Frieda hair stuff, which I doubt they will, I'll use the $2 EB made in the purchase of the above to buy them.  There are also some good toothbrush and razor deals (as in cheeeeeeeeep!, free and a $0.01 moneymaker) starting tomorrow, but we get toothbrushes for free at the dentist, I use an electric toothbrush, and we're pretty well stocked on razors, so I'm just going to pass on these things this week.  (However, if you're interested in learning more about those deals head over to The Krazy Coupon Lady.)  But for me this week: less stuff, less stress.
