SUPER DOUBLES at HARRIS TEETER! Now thru March 29th

TLC has made Extreme Couponing a series! Watch on Wednesday, April 6 at 9pm EST. So exciting!!!

I had fantastic trips to CVS and Walgreens. I bought 14 sticks of deoderant for Frank for the price of 5.

Sunday's Suggestion: Dollar Stores

I'm lucky to live in a place where the dollar stores are actually nice and full of great and useful items. Today I spent five minutes creating an Easter decoration. I spent $3 and used super glue I already had. Viola! I have an egg tree! 

Saturday's Saving Score

I went through my coupons this morning and planned out a trip to pick up some deals that end today.  I ended up not buying a few things on my list because they were out of stock, but I did stumble across some even better deals. Check out what I got! 

First stop Harris Teeter: 

Out of Pocket (OOP) = $7.20 with tax

Total Savings = $18.74

I bought:
(6) Maxwell House Coffee Refills  $4.29 x 6 = $25.74
There was a sale- Buy 5 for $10, but I bought 6 so it was $12I got a special HT Kraft deal of buy 5 products for $8 bringing the price to 6 for $10.
I used (3) $1/2 mfr coupon any Maxwell House product bringing the price to 6 for $7.20 w/ tax. 


It turns out there is no limit on the Kraft deal (5 for $8) because I also bought 5 refills yesterday. I should have waited to buy because I had coupons coming in the mail, but I still saved a lot, so I'm not too upset. I have 8 coupons left, so it looks like I'll be headed back to HT before the sale ends on Wednesday.  By then I think I'll have enough coffee to get me through the whole year . . . WOW!

Next stop Food Lion: 

Out of Pocket (OOP) = $8.58 with tax

Total Savings = $24.10

I bought:
(10) Hefty plastic storage bags of varying sizes and prices. 

There was a sale- Buy 10 for $10, but I bought 10. 

I used (1) $1/2 mfr coupon bringing the price to 10 for $9. 

I searched all the boxes and found 8 with $.15 peelies bring the price to 10 for $8.58 w/ tax.

You'll notice there are 12 boxes in the picture. The other two boxes came from Walgreens which had the 18ct. Freezer quart size on clearance for $1.39 each and they had the $.15 peelies on them. I paid $2.70, savings $4.10 which is still a good deal but not as good as above. 

Sunday's Suggestion: Make a return

So how did my CVS trip turn out this week? It was a true money maker. I went into the store armed with coupons and a specific list of items and walked out with $8.45. How did I do it? I'll tell you. I bought over $62 worth of items most of which were on sale and then used coupons and my Extra Bucks to pay for it all. I also returned two items and ended up getting a refund for $2.45 more than I paid, plus I earned $6 in Extra Bucks.

What did I buy????

2 All Small & Mighty laundry detergents for $10, earned $2 in EBs.

4 Glade candles for $12, minus $2 in coupons, earned $4 in EBs.

2 Cadbury Eggs on sale for $1.

1 Multi-pack of headbands on clearance sale for $1.37

2 L'oreal under eye concealers for $14.98 after BIG150%, used two $3 coupons to bring the price to $8.98.

1 Gatorade for $1.98.

I used my 25% off coupon, $4 off a $20 purchase, $5 beauty rewards EBs, $6.58 EBs and $7 EBs to bring my total out of pocket cost to $12.53. I later went back to CVS and returned the L'oreal  items and received a refund for the original sale price. In the end I was paid $2.45 by CVS and I earned another $6 in EBs, plus I scanned my CVS card at the coupon center and got another $4 off $20 purchase coupon and a $3 off Physician 's Formula makeup coupon.

This has definitely been my most successful couponing adventure to date. I can't wait to see what I can do next week . . . . .look out CVS here I come!

CVS email with 25% off coupon

WOW! I just got an email from CVS with a 25% off printable coupon valid through Sunday. I also have $15 worth of Extra Bucks and 2 coupons for $4 off a $20 purchase. They can all be stacked on one purchase!!! I can't wait to plan my trip weekend CVS shopping trip now : )
