Last night I made a much-needed grocery run to Kroger. I did pretty well, nothing phenomenal, but I saved about 50% which I was pleased with! On the way there I made a couple drugstore stops. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I do all the drugstore shopping for my BFF Luanne. I have sole possession of her CVS Extra Care card and ECBs. Lest you think I am a total saint, she does give me free Mary Kay in return, as she is my Consultant, or Dealer as I like to call her. 🙂 Anyhoo, so I am telling you this to tell you that I am not one of those creepy coupon people who has 700 Extra Care accounts. I shop for my household and for Luanne’s on separate cards and that’s it! She gives me cash when I need it, and also Mary Kay product. So here’s what I got for HER last night!
As I mentioned in my previous post, there is a Schick/Playtex deal going on this week, buy $20 get 10 ECB. Since Luanne and her girls love Schick Intuition razors and her hubs loves the Quattro, I did the Schick products deal for them.
Schick Quattro Titanium razor $9.99
Schick Intuition razor $9.99
Skintimate shave gel $2.99
CVS heat patches (these were for me – for my aching back!) Clearance $1.65
OB tampons clearance $1.95 (for the Hitchcock Center in Cleveland)
total= $26.57
coupons:
$4 off Schick Quattro from this past Sunday’s inserts
$2 off Schick Intution from this past Sunday’s inserts
$1 off OB from older insert
$.75 off Skintimate from this past Sunday’s inserts
total = $18.82. I paid with Luanne’s 13 ECB she had and paid $5.82 + tax for a total of $7.65 and got back 10 ECB for the Schick.
Don’t you wish I was YOUR BFF? 🙂
Next, I went to Rite Aid to fight the ETERNAL BATTLE my family has with keeping enough batteries around. Even though I JUST bought 3 packs a couple weeks ago at Rite Aid they are magically gone. SO.
5 packs of Duracell AA batteries $4.99 each = $24.95
Crest Sensitive Shield toothpaste $2.99 (this I get for Luanne’s MOTHER. See, I told you I am a good friend!)
Veet Clearance $4.24
Total =$32.18
coupons: $5/$25 Rite Aid video values coupon (new ones for July are out!)
-$3 Veet Rite Aid in-ad coupon
-$3 Veet Rite Aid video values coupon (from last month)
-$.50 Crest coupon from recent P&G insert
-$7 in +UP rewards from last visit
total =$13.86, with tax I paid $15.34 and I will get back$12.99 in Single Check Rebates, $10 for the Duracell and $2.99 for the toothpaste. So, bringing my out-of-pocket to 87 cents + tax.
AND NOW WE HAVE BATTERIES!! Yaaaay!
I love CVS deals!! I went last night too! I got 4 things of skintimate shave gel, 3 things of Edge shave gel, 4 packs of M&M’s and two packs of stayfree pads. After coupons and ECB’s I paid $8.05 (including tax) and recieved another $10 in ECBs!! ( I should have checked the tampons while I was there, I missed the OB deal 🙁 maybe I’ll go back!! Thanks!)
Wow, you really do know how to shop! I need to find someone like you that’ll save me money like that.
