CVS- 2 Different stores

I am very careful to observe limits, but I have a card and my husband has a card- I used them each at different stores so as not to clean the shelves. So, there are 3 transactions:

Card #1:
1 Revlon nail polish $3.99 used $1 q
1 Band Aid $2.99 used $1 CRT q
1 Clearasil face wash $3.99 used $2 q
1 Speedstick Pro $3.99
used $6 in ECB's; earned $12.98
OOP: $5.44
Saved: $10.00

Card #2, Trans #2: (different store)
1 Revlon nail polish $3.99 used $1 q
1 Colgate Total $2.99 used $1 q
2 Band Aids $2.99 ea used (2) $1 q's
1 Clearasil $3.99 used $2 q
used $10 in ECB's, earned $12.99
OOP: $1.37
Saved: $16.00

Card #2, Trans #3
2 Speedstick Pro $3.99 ea
used $7 in ECB's from Trans #2
OOP: $1.04
Saved $7.00

My mother-in-law also got a clearasil on her card and I gave her a $2 coupon, and she insisted on giving me the $2, so I actually ended up with 3 Clearasil- I have a 13 YO, so this will definitely all be used! Weekends like this one, I almost wish I still lived in Atlanta- there is a CVS on every corner, it seems!

Ingles- overage on Kotex

My mother-in-law drug me to a ton of stores this weekend, so I tagged along and scarfed up all the cheap and free things~

3 Kotex B1/G1 = $0.69 ea used a $0.75 & a $1.50/2
Bertolli Marinara B1/G1 = $1.34 used $0.60

We were in Atlanta for the Memorial day weekend, so I got to stop in at a Publix- they REALLY need to open a store in Dalton!

2 Betty Crocker brownie mix B1/G1= $1.35 ea used $0.50/2, doubled

2 Gillette shampoo $3.49 ea used B1/G1 coupon (probably should have skipped this one- it wasn't THAT great a deal, but the coupon was expiring soon- I can be a sucker sometimes~)

2 Ragu B1/G1 = $1.10 ea used $0.60/2

Kroger- Receipt Says I Saved 100%

I snagged a few "free item" coupons from my mother-in-law's Atlanta paper that she did not clip. I didn't make a special trip- we just happened to stop by Kroger, so that's where I used them:

2 Wriggley's slim packs $1.19 ea used (2) free item q's
Hall's cough drops $1.69 used free item q

OOP: $0.15 (tax)

CVS- $5/$30 - haven't seen one of these in a while!

I scanned my card before shopping and got a $5/$30. I have not seen one of these in a while, so I decided to splurge and do the Reese's deal as well as the popcorn:

4 Orville popcorn $2.50 used $0.40, $0.50 & $0.50

Too bad I did not have (4) $0.50 q's, but this was still some cheap popcorn- got $5 ECB back, making it $3.60 for all 4 or $0.90/box!!

5 Bags Reese's (various kinds) $3 ea

No q's on the Reese's, but I got a $5 ECB back

Flavor Ice $1.50

Hawaiin Punch singles $1

Used $5/$30, and $10 ECB in addition to popcorn q's

Bi-Lo P&G Deal (Last Day)

Bi-lo has a promotion where if you spend $20 on P&G products, you will get a $5 coupon to use on your next order. Their sale ends today, but sometimes these type of promotions run more than a week- I looked at the ad online, and could not read the fine print like dates. Heres what I got:

Cascade $3.99 used $1 q

Natural Instincts Hair color $5.99 used $4 q

Swiffer pads $4 used $1 q
Swiffer liquid $4 used $0.50 q
2 Mr Clean $2.50 ea used B1/G1 (please note that I MAY have misused this coupon unintentionally- I have another at home that I'd gotten from a different paper, and it says "buy 1 mr clean liquid and get a Mr clean SPRAY". I was pretty sure the one I used was for the liquid, tho)
4 magic erasers $2.50 ea used (2) B1/G1 coupons

Bi-Lo B1/G1 Sale- Last Day

I was actually on my way to Kroger for Dr. Pepper, but I saw a sign at Bi-lo that they had 18 pk Cokes for $3.99. (Dr Pepper are included where I live, since they are bottled by Coca Cola here). The math works out to about $2.65 per 12 pk, and Kroger's were $3. So, I figued while I was there, I would pick up a few B1/G1 items:

2 Heinz ketchup - 2/$4 (not b1/g1, but we can never have too much ketchup at our house, and I like Heinz~)
4 Fruit roll- ups $1 ea (closeout) used (2) $0.75/2
Kraft Easy Mac $1.52 (closeout)
2 Hershey's syrup b1/g1 = $1.07 ea

Free photos at CVS

I had signed up for an online account at CVS a while back and got 50 free prints. As far as I know, you can still do this. (Your photo account is separate from your regular CVS account). I had already used 25 of my free prints, so this was my other 25:
