SAVED: $57.80, including $15 in Mega Event Savings

I about had a heart attack as I was checking out and my total was $131.59- then the $15 mega savings came of, then the coupons......I still don't normally spend this much at a time (my average total is about $16 so far this year- including this order) but I felt like I did pretty well, even if I did splurge on the cookies (we were OUT) and snack cheese. My receipt says I saved 62%; of course, that includes sale prices.

CVS Coke/Dr Pepper Deal

I used my husband's card to get another set of drinks (different store). I found a $2/4 Coke products, so this time I got 4 Cokes (trying the Coke Zero for one of them) and 3 Dr Pepper. This store was out of the Dove for Men, so I got J&J Body wash for $4.99, used a $1 q and got $1 ECB. I also had a $5/$30 (which is why I could just do the Cokes- they totaled to $25.62). Also used a $2 ECB.

OOP: $21.60
Saved: $10.00

"Net Cost" was $12.60, since I "made" $9 ECB's. (Spent $2, earned $11).

Walgreen's; Can't have too much Nyquil!

If you can get a hold of 4 of the $2 Nyquil coupons, this works out to $0.50 per bottle after RR. I was only able to get 3, but if I'd had 4, I would have had to buy a "filler". I bought the Blink first, using a $1.50 printable (there is a $2 paper coupon that's better). Paid $7.05 with tax, got an $8 RR reward that I used on the rest. I also had a $1/2 Rice Kripie Treats. OOP on th e2nd order was $11.55, and I got $12 RR's back.

Total OOP: $18.60
Saved: $16.50

"Net Cost" was $6.60, since I started with NO RR's and left with $12. My "cost" on the Nyquil was $1/bottle, since I only had 3 of the $2 coupons.

K-Mart

Just felt like getting some treats for my pup-

Beggin Strips $2.50 ea
Busy Bone $3.00
used $4/4 coupon
Canadian Cuts $2.50 used $1.50/1

(there are coupons out for this, but I get my papers a week late, so I did not have mine- but it was still free after ECB)

Used $10 ECB; Earned $15.49 ECB's

Used $5 Gift Card from a survey reward

OOP: $17.32

SAVED: $15.00

"Net Cost" was $11.83, sinnce I "made" $5.49 in ECB's.

Bi-Lo Feb 2nd (Last Week)

I went away frustrated from this sale.....I wanted to buy 6-8 of the Minute Maid OJ at $2 (we were on our last) but this was the last one on the shelf that was not already out of date. I'm not sure why I looked, except that since I wanted to buy so many, I wanted to get the furthest dates out. I couldn't believe that with such a small display, they STILL had out of date cartons on their shelf! Anyway, at least the Country Crock was cheap/free:

MM OJ $2
3 Country Crock $0.99 ea used (1) $0.50, doubled = FREE and (2) $0.40, doubled = $0.19 ea
Doritos $1.99 ea
Saltines $2

OOP: $8.64
Saved: $2.60

I should have taken the ad to Walmart and let them price match the OJ, but I forgot that it was the last day of the sale.
