Brookshire's 1/18

I made a quick run into Brookshire's.

Tropicana on sale for 2/$6 - used a $1 off coupon
Tony Seasoning on sale for $1 each - used a .55 off 2 which tripled to 1.65

Total was 5.83 with tax and my receipt shows a 55% savings!

CVSing while out of town

We were out of town in Indiana and I could not get away from CVSing. I had $3 off next $15 coupon that was going to expire.

I sat and worked out the transaction and then when I got to the store I realized one of the coupons I was going to use was for a qty of 24 or more and the one I was going to get was a qty of 10. So I had to change up and go with the coupons I had on hand.

Needless to say I was saddened by my larger then I like out of pocket expense.

I can't find the receipt but I do remember the total was a little over $5.

I had BOGO coupons for the glades. And various coupons for the other things.

I will have to do better with remembering where I put my receipts. I might have to work on my receipt filing system.

Slacking on posting

I have been slacking in posting to this blog. I will have to do better.

There are some pretty good deals this week at CVS. (Several Free after coupon and ECB deals!)

I went yesterday (Sunday) and got the following.

1 - Kellogg's Corn Flakes on sale 2/$4. I used $1 off coupon making it $1!!!
1 - Smart Water on sale for $1.59. I got back $1.59 in ECB making it FREE!
4 - St Ives body wash on sale for $3.99 and used (4) $2 off coupons making them 1.99 each. I got back $3 in ECB so I made $1.01 on each of these!
2 - 9V batteries for $1 (These were not on sale but our smoke alarm batteries had died and I needed to make sure I enough money spent to use my ECBs I had)

I also has a $3 off my next $15 purchase and a $7.99 ECB.

So it brought my out of pocket total to $2.30.

I earned back $12 ECB for the St Ives Body wash and $1.59 for the Smartwater. I also got another $3 off my next $15 purchase. (Now the fun part will be spending the $12 ECB!)

Another good thing about this trip to CVS was BJ went with me and realized what I do when I go "couponing". He told the cashier this is how we pay for his satellite TV!
