My Plans for CVS this Coming Week

I scanned my card and got a $10 off $50 which expires on the 24th (I wish so bad it would be good for another week - wait til you see all the good deals on the 26th!).

Anyways I am trying to spend as little out of pocket and get as much back in ecbs as possible.


This is what I am thinking so far:

Kodak Picture Movie DVD $9.99 $9.99 ecb limit 1 (I have heard that this is actually limit 5 like the photo books not sure though). I thought I could do two (even though I would prefer the photo book over a dvd of pictures any day) x2 =$19.98 with $19.98 back in ecbs (if it isn't limit 1 and is actually limit 5)

CVS/pharmacy Pantiliners 22 ct. 89¢ 89¢ ecb limit 1 x1 = .89cents with .89 cents ecb back


Xtra 2x Laundry detergent 28 loads $1.99 x3 = $5.97 (I need to start stocking up on detergent)

Caliber or CVS/pharmacy memo book 50-80 sheets 99¢ 99¢ ecb limit 2 x2 =$1.98 with $1.98 ecb back

Spend $10 Get $5 ecb wyb Band-Aid Brand Bandages 6 - 100 ct, J&J Red Cross products, Neosporin 0.5 oz, Neo to Go Spray 0.26 oz or packets 10 ct. limit 5 deals (possible if I have good coupons)

Desitin 2 oz $2.99 x3 use $1 off coupons = $5.97

various CVS products (ie. cotton balls, baby wipes, baby diapers, mouthwash etc.) buy one get next one 50% off mix and match - again possible since I need cottonballs.



Balmex I have a cvs $1 off coupon for it and a manufacture $1 off coupon not sure of the actual price though.



NYC cosmetics I have a $5 off coupon so will buy 2 compacts which will be either $5 or $6 total if I remember correctly.



Total so far = $42.97 (before coupons and only for items I have a price for) so it should not be hard to spend the required $50.



But after coupons that above total will be taken down to $34.97 not including the $10 off. I figure if I buy the Balmex and some cotton balls I should easily reach the $50 and after coupons I will be able to bring it down to about $30 and then can use some of my ecbs that I already have and bring it down to about $20 and then get back $22.85 in ecbs for next weeks use.



I am still going to play around with it to try and get it cheaper. Anything you would suggest? I always try to choose items I actually need.

I Need Your Help

Does anyone get an advanced copy of the Target ad? That is you get it before the Sunday it comes out? If so would you be willing to scan it for me and email it to me?

I promise I will not put the actual ad on my blog but I will just list any good deals I see so people can plan ahead.


Thanks!!!

Want Info on Selling Avon?

I remember when I was a little girl and my mom sold Avon and all the cool samples she got. That I of course played with. :)

I personally never have sold Avon but have thought about it lots of times. I just have never gotten around to looking into it. But I do know that it doesn't cost much too start compared to others. I think you only need like $15 bucks to start (don't quote me on that - that could just be with their Mark brand).

Definitely a good way to bring in some extra money and who knows if you are good at it and know lots of people you can really make a lot of mula!!

Free Bookmark and Book

FYI- You pay shipping if you choose both the book and bookmarks. If you just want the bookmarks they are free!!! :)

I will add my other orders from yesterday later on today.

Today's CVS Purchases

Dawn Dish Soap 2 for $2
CVS Pantyshields .89 cents
Head and Shoulders $4.99 x2
Colgate Total $3.49
Transparent Tape $1.49 x3
Pencil Sharpener .99 cents
Always Pantyliners 6ct $2.99
Hot Wheels toy $1.69

Total before taxes and coupons = $26.50

Coupons I used :
bogo Head and Shoulders - $4.99
Dawn -.50 cents
Dawn -.25 cents
Colgate -.75 cents
ECB -$1.00
ECB -$4.00
ECB -$4.50
$5 off $25 purchase

Total spent out of pocket after coupons = $6.03 not too shabby!
But it gets better!! Look at all of the ECB's I have for next time!!!

Extra Bucks I received with above purchase:
$4 from Head and Shoulders
$4.47 from tape
.99 cents from pencil sharpener
$2.00 from Colgate
.99 cents from CVS Pantyliners (not sure why it was not .89 cents)
$1.00 from Dawn
for a total of : $ 13.45 which is more than I spent!!!

Now if this would have been Walgreens they would have acted like I was robbing them and more then likely not let me make my purchase. Why none of Walgreen's employees (this is 4 stores in my area and have also heard many horror stories online from various other states) including managers are not aware that the manufacture reimburses them for the amount deducted from coupons is beyond me (I mean it says so right on the coupon).

SwagBucks

I have earned enough so far for 3 - $5 gift cards for Amazon from doing simple searches. This is the only search engine I now use because I am getting something other than of course what I was looking for from it. I stopped using all of the others since it seemed like I never won anything with them. This one I generally get a point each day and sometimes 2 or 3 points a day. I only search normally up to 5 times a day (that is the days I do searched).

Entertainment Books

I have bought these in the past and they always have really good coupons in them. If you generally use say 3 coupons you have paid for the book. The cool thing is you can preview what offers are in the book prior to buying it to see if it is a good deal or not for you. I recall many, many years ago I worked for a dry cleaner and let me tell you people used those dry cleaning coupons in that book like it was going out of style! I seriously think certain customers bought multiples of the book just for those coupons alone. Yep, they saved that much.
