Return to Dew Mountain

So, yesterday I got out of the house FINALLY after the huge snow we had this week, and of course I went straight to CVS. Ok, that’s a lie. First I went to drop off some jeans to get hemmed but ONLY because it’s I have to drive past that shop to get to CVS. Oh, and did I mention my DADDY drove me in his 4-wheel drive? Yes, this CVS run was that important! Can you guess what I got? It wasn’t the most profitable transaction ever, but sometimes you gotta dew what you gotta dew.

Five 12-packs of Mountain Dew $3.34 each = $16.70(I already put on in the fridge when I took this picture. Couldn’t waste any time!)
Four L’eggs pantyhose clearance at $1.25 each! WOOHOO! (Couldn’t pass those up!) $5
Two Gatorade/Propel $1.25 each = $2.50
Tostitos $3
Fusion Gamer razor $7.99
Total = $35.19

I only had two coupons! A Rite Aid $5/$25 and a $4 Fusion q
Total = $26.19
I used 24 ECB and paid $3.05 on a CVS gift card, and got back 14 ECB – 10 for the Pepsi products and 4 for the razor!

AND I GOT MY DEW! 😉

How did YOU dew (I can’t stop myself!) this week? For more couponing adventures, check out CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer or Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom.

I Can Haz Mountain Dew? No?

I only went to CVS once this week – crazy huh? The deals just weren’t too exciting and although I am feeling much better, I still haven’t regained 100% of my incessant desire to CVS shop all the time. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that there is a huge ECB deal on Pepsi products and I am still not drinking Mountain Dew, and it makes me VERY SAD! My mom brought me a 2-Liter when I was depressed last week, and I had one out to eat, but other than that I have been a very good girl. But anyways – you will see that I DID purchase a 2-liter on this transaction, but it’s for a dinner we are attending Sunday for our house church – we’re bringing the drinks. Perhaps with my Christian community holding me accountable I will be able to abstain from Dew at the dinner. (ha ha!) We shall see. Anyhoo – here’s what I got:

4 2-Liters of Pepsi products $5
8 Propel/Gatorade $15
1 Skippy $1.67
1 CVS baby wipes $2.99
Total = $24.66
Coupons: Rite Aid $5/$25 (my CVS take competitor q’s and the manager rounded up my total for me – I had planned to buy some Lays chips as part of the Pepsi deal which would have put me over, but they were out of them)
$3 off CVS brand q
60 cents off Skippy q
Total = $16.06

I paid with 16 ECB, paid 6 cents cash, and got back 10 ECB for the Pepsi/Propel/Gatorade products!

Next, I did this, because my particular hubby likes the yellow Axe body wash and it is never on sale!

2 Axe body wash $10
2 Skippy $3.34
1 CVS baby wipes $2.99
Total $16.33
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15 (expired, my CVS takes them for 30 days)
Two 40-cents off Skippy q’s
$3 off CVS brand q

Total = $9.53
I paid with 9 ECB and 53 cents cash, and got back 3 ECB for the Axe.

Nothing too exciting, but not bad! Hope you did great this week! To see how everyone else did, check out CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer and Super Savings Saturday at Money Saving Mom!

I’ve Got the Soy Joy, Soy Joy, Up in My Pantry! (Where?)

Sorry I am late in posting my deals. I know you all sit by your computers and hit “refresh” on your browsers all weekend long until I post them so I’m really sorry for the delay. But you see I had this baby shower for my friend Megan Saturday which just kept me away from my laptop. But it is over, and it was great, and now you can all heave a sigh of relief as my coupon adventures are about to be displayed for all the world. 🙂

I got a TON of Soy Joys this week! My little Sophie, the world’s pickiest eater, loves Soy Joys for some reason. So I got 10 for $5 at Rite Aid, used my $3/10 coupon, paid $2 out-of-pocket, and will get back a $5 single check rebate. So I made $3 on that! Woohoo! CVS also has 6-packs of Soy Joys for $6 with 6 ECBs back. So, the other night I got this:

2 boxes of Soy Joy $12
2 CVS baby wipes $4.50 (they were B1G1 50% off)
M&Ms 50 cents
Total = $17
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
Soy Joy $3/10
$3 off CVS Brand purchase
total= $8
I paid with a 7.99 ECB – I can’t remember how much I paid in cash – less than a dollar – and got back 12 ECB for the Soy Joy! Yay! I loves me some profit!

Next, I got this:

4 infants/children’s motrin $22
CVS baby wipes $2.99
Total = $24.99
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
$2/$10 pain reliever purchase CVS CRT
two $2.50/2 Children’s/infants motrin
three $2 off Children’s/infants motrin Walgreens coupons (I had 4 but the cashier missed one. no biggie)
$3 off CVS Brand purchase
Total = 5.99
I used a 5.99 ECB to pay, paid $1.30 cash in tax and got back 10 ECB for the Motrin! Woohoo!

Finally, I stopped back by one day for some Fiber One bars (YUMMY!) and more Soy Joy:

Fiber one two-pack $6.99
Soy Joy 6-pack $6
CVS wipes $2.99
Sweet Tarts $.50
Total = $16.48
Coupons:
CVS $3/$15
$1/5 Soy Joy coupon
50 cents off Fiber One coupon
$3 off CVS Brand purchase coupon
total = $8.98
I paid with an 8.98 ECB, paid zero out-of pocket and got back 9 ECB. Ta-da!!

Needless to say, Megan got a lot of baby wipes with her shower gift. 🙂

That’s all for me this week! Hope you did great! To see what everyone else was up to, check out CVS Superstars at the Centsible Sawyer!
