My Shopping Trip - 10/20 (Kroger, CVS, Walgreens, Meijer)

Ok, I went shopping today! I hit Kroger, CVS, Walgreens and Meijer. Here's what I was able to round up. I wanted to stay under my $45 cash allowance and I made it!!!


Kroger:

I got 8 Nesquick Milks. Sale Price 1.00. I used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 0

5 Celestial Seasonings Teas. Sale Price 1.00. Used 1.00 off 1 coupons. Paid 0

1 Febreze Noticeable Starter Kit. Sale Price 6.89. Used 5.00 off 1 paper coupon and 5.00 off 1 loadable coupon. Paid 0, got 3.11 in overage.

2 Tennessee Pride Sausage Rolls. Sale Price 2.00. Used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 1.00 each.

2 Green Giant Frozen Vegetables. Sale Price 1.00. Used .50 off 2 paper coupon and .50 off 2 loadable coupon. Paid .25 each.

8 Cans of Campbell's Kids Soups. Sale Price 1.00. Used .40 off 2 coupons. Paid .60 each.

1 2lb Velveeta. Paid 4.48. (I need it for a recipe I want to try!)

I paid around 7.xx.


CVS:

I got 3 2-packs of Gum Toothbrushes. Priced at 3.99 each. I used .75 off 1 coupons. Paid 3.24 each and got back 3.99 in ECB's for each one (11.97 total).

1 Powerade. Priced at 1.69. Got 1.69 in ECB's back.

2 Brach's Candy Corns. Priced at 1.29. Got back 1.29 in ECB's each (2.58 total).

1 Just for Men Hair Color Kit. Priced at 7.99. Got 7.99 in ECB's back.

2 Excedrin Express Gels 20ct. Priced at 1.99 each. I used two 2.00 off 1 printables and one 3.00 off 1 CRT (CVS coupon at bottom of receipt).

1 3pk of CVS paper towels. Priced at 1.99. I used 1.00 off 1 CRT.

So I ended up spending around 19.00 (18 in ECB's and 1 in cash) and got back 24.23 in ECB's.

Walgreens:

For some reason (ok I really know, it's because it's WALGREENS, when will I ever learn that Walgreens is just too difficult for me!!), not all of my deals worked. I didn't realize it until later and I'm just too tired to worry about it at this point. Oh well. Here's what I got:

4 bags of Mars Candy. Sale priced at 4 for 10. I used two 1.00 off 2 coupons. Paid 8.00 and will submit for 4.00 rebate.

3 Maalox Tablets. Priced at 4.99. I used 2.00 off 1 coupons. Paid 8.97 and got back 8.00 in Register Rewards.

3 bottles of Tylenol Cold. Priced at 4.99. I used 1.00 off 1 manufacturer coupons and 1.50 off 1 coupon from Easy Saver Booklet. Paid 7.50 and got back 5.00 in Register Rewards.

1 Alka Seltzer plus Cold. Priced at 4.99. I used 1.00 off 1 coupon from some booklet I got a while back. Paid 3.99. Was supposed to get back 4.99 in Register Rewards, but didn't!

2 Visine Drops. Priced at 2 for 8.00. Used 3.00 off 1 coupons from All You Magazine. Paid 2.00. Got back 2.00 in Register Rewards.

2 St. Ives Elements Face Cleansers. Priced at 4.99 each. Used buy one get one free coupon. Paid 4.99. Was supposed to get 5.00 in Register Rewards, but didn't!! ($10 total that I missed out on!!)

I used a 5.00 Register Reward from a previous transaction and still ended up with some great deals, so that's why I'm not too worried about it. It's just frustrating that nearly everytime I go to Walgreens, I end up with problems. I guess it's the price I have to pay for the cheap products!! Anyway, I ended up paying 8.00 in cash after coupons, my 5.00 register reward and the balance of my gift card from last month.

Meijer:

6 Boxes of Aunt Millies Muffins. Priced at 2.00 (they raised the price from 1.50 boo-hoo!!). Used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid 1.00 each.

3 bags of Hershey candy. Priced at 1.88 each. I used 1.00 off 3 coupon. Paid 1.55 each.

2 bags of Nestle candy. Priced at 1.88 each. I used 1.00 off 1 printable coupons. Paid .88 each.

3 cans of Manwich. Priced at .99 each. Plus I got a free package of Aunt Millie Hamburger Buns for buying 3 cans.

4 Lipton/Knorr Pasta Sides. Priced at 1.00 each. I used .75 off 2 coupons. Paid .50 each.

2 Domino Brown Sugars and 2 Domino Powdered Sugars. Priced at 1.50 each. I used .50 off 1 coupons. Paid .50 each.!!

2 1/2 Gallons of Trauth Ice Cream (not pictured). Priced at 2.74 each. I used 1.00 off 1 coupons. Paid 1.74 each.

1 Loaf of Aunt Millie Bread. Paid 1.19.
2 Smuckers Uncrustables. Priced at 1.49 each. I used 1.00 off 2 coupon found in Meijer insert at the store and two .55 off 1 coupons. Paid 0!!

I used my four 4.00 off your next order coupons from the Glade Deal and paid 21.50 total. I had to break it up into 4 orders to make sure I could double all my coupons and use the 4 Catalinas. I stopped to get me and the kids 1.00 double cheeseburgers from McDonalds (we had free Nesquick to drink!!) and we also got one sheet of the Trick or Treat Coupons. After that lunch and all our shopping, I still have one dollar left!! I'm pretty proud of that!!!

I also wanted to note that Endust is half price at Meijer, making it 1.79. Use the 2.00 off 1 coupon to get it free!! My store was out of them!!

Walgreens - .99 Bic Soleil Razors and Free Bic Pens!

Bic Soleil Razors are on sale at Walgreens this week for 5.99. Use the Easy Saver Coupon (the little monthly booklet sitting with the ads in the store), for $2 off, plus you can stack that with the 3.00 off 1 coupon from the 8/10 Smartsource insert and pay only .99 each! (Thanks Kim!)

Also a great deal this week at Walgreens:

Bic pens are on sale 2 for $1. Use the 1.00 off 2 coupon from the 8/3 Smartsource insert to get them free!

Walgreens - Free Developing of a Roll of Film

I just got an email with a link to a coupon for a free roll of film developed at Walgreens on Wednesday (8/6) only. So you just take in this coupon and get one free roll of 35mm, APS or one time use camera developed for free!! The film is not free, just the developing!

Walgreens - Speedstick Deal (8/3)

I found one potentially good deal at Walgreens this week.  If you buy 8 SpeedStick or Lady SpeedStick Deodorants @ 1.99 each, total = 15.92.  Use four .75 off 2 coupons from the 7/27 Smartsource.  You'll then pay 12.92 and you'll get back a $10 register reward (coupon that prints at the checkout for use on your next order).  So you'll net only 2.92 for 8 deodorants which is .37 a piece.  This does NOT include the 24/7 varieties.

You then might be able to turn around and use the $10 reward to do the deal again (if you have enough coupons) and this time only pay 2.92 and get back another $10 reward.  Sometimes Walgreens systems are set up weird and won't allow you to use the reward and get another reward back, but this one may work, we'll just have to see!

Walgreens - $5 off $20 (7/31 Only)

There's a new Walgreen's coupon!  Go here and get your own $5 off $20 coupon!!  This is only good today 7/31.  It has been my experience that he $20 total has to be after any other coupons, but I think others have been able to use it before coupons.  I guess it's the manager or cashier's decision.  

Walgreens - $5 off $20 (6/27 only)

There's another Walgreens coupon!  It's $5 off $20 and it's only good today (June 27th)!!  Click here to get your coupon!

Walgreens - Oral-B Cross Action Power Toothbrush

Walgreens is having a good deal this week on Oral-B Cross Action Power Toothbrushes or Brush Head Refills.  When  you buy one for 5.50, you'll get a 5.50 register rewards back to use on your next purchase.  Plus, we got coupons this week for Buy one get one free (6/15 Smartsource).  

So, buy two toothbrushes or refill packs = 11.00

Use buy one get one free coupon = -5.50

Pay 5.50

Get back 5.50 in register rewards to use later.

That seems like a great deal on power toothbrushes!

Walgreens - Deals ideas for 6/13 only!

If you're thinking about using the $5 off $20 coupon for Walgreens found here, today, then here's a few deals you may want to add to your order.

Walgreens - $5 off $20

Walgreens has put out yet another coupon good only tomorrow June 13th.  This one is $5 off a $20 order.  Just so you know, when I went in to use the $5 off $20 from last time, the system would only take the coupon as long as my total AFTER manufacturer and other Walgreens coupons was over $20.  It was a manager that rang me up and he said he would override it if he could, but he couldn't.  So I had to go shopping again and find more stuff to buy!!  I did end up getting a great deal, but I would've liked to have not spent that much out of pocket!  This was the Walgreens on Mason-Montgomery Rd.
