CVS trip over thanksgiving

CVS have a 3 day sale on Thurs - Sat. We popped out on Thanksgiving morning to get a few bits and since I had a few Extra Bucks for CVS and some corresponding coupons we popped in. I wanted to get the Bic Soleil razor but they were all sold out. Instead I got herbal essences shampoo and conditioner. They were $2.99 get $2 in extra bucks back.
I bought a shampoo and a conditioner and used a coupon for a free shampoo or conditioner on one and a $1 coupon on the other.

I also picked up a king size Snickers bar for 2 reasons. 1 because they are delicious and 2 because they were $1.59 receive $1.59 in extra bucks.

So for the shampoo and conditioner it was $2.99 + $2.99 +$1.59 = $7.57
I used the free coupon $2.99 + $1 herbal essences coupon which gave me $3.99 off the total bringing it down to $3.58.
I then used a $3 extra buck I had from before which made my total $0.63 including tax. I paid this with a small balance I had left on a gift card.

I spent no actual money and I left with $5.59 in extra bucks plus I already had an odd $1 in extra bucks from buying coke a few weeks ago.

We were going somewhere else that morning so when we were headed back we popped into a different CVS and looked for the earbuds that are on sale this week for $6.99 as my iPod ones broke and I have using a pair from the dollar store.
My luck was in as they had a really good stock. I purchased the earbuds at $6.99 using my $6.59 in extra bucks and an odd $0.43 I had in my purse.
I received $6.99 in extra bucks.

Then I went and picked up a Vaseline sheer infusion (which I have ben wanting to get for ages but thought it was too expensive considering I have a bunch of lotions already). They were $7.99 get back $7.99 in extra bucks.

I paid using my $6.99 in extra bucks and a $1 coupon I had from a newspaper insert making my total $0.00. Plus I got back $7.99 in extra bucks for my next purchase.

So, I picked up goods worth $22.55 and paid only $0.43 in cash for them and still have $7.99 in extra bucks to spend.

CVS deal from last week

I forgot to post about this great deal I got at CVS last week.
They were doing a special on Dove and Degree products. If you spent $20 you got $10 back in Extra Bucks. I wanted to get some clinical strength deodorant so thought I would take advantage of this offer to get it for a really cheap price as they are normally around $10 each.

I got 2 Degree clinical strength deodorants. They were on sale for $6 each.

I also got a Dove shampoo and a conditioner. These were both $4.49 each.

This made my total $20.98 so I qualified for the deal.
I had completed a survey for CVS and received $10 in extra bucks to spend and I had $4 extra bucks from a previous listerine deal and an odd $1 extra buck so I used these to pay for the items along with a $2 and $1 coupon for each of the deodorants and $1.50 and $1 coupons for the hair products.
This made my actual total to pay only $0.48 which I paid for with a CVS gift card that I had earned through a survey site.

So all in all....no cash paid and I get $10 in extra bucks to spend on a future deal.

Glade deals galore

I love Glade and I love that there are always deals around whereby you can get items for free or almost free.

A couple of deals I have done this week are:

WALMART - Sense and Sprays and Lasting Impressions are on rollback here for $5. Using the $4 coupons that are around (from newspaper inserts, magazines - All You in particular - coupons from purchasing previous items etc) these are only $1.

I didn't even bother getting the Lasting Impressions as my bathroom closet is full of them but I did get a few of the Sense and Sprays because we love those.

The Fragrance Collection by Glade is also on rollback and if you have the coupon for $3 off any Fragrance Collection item then you can get the bigger candles for a dollar and change or you can get the small one for free.

WALGREENS - I got two of the scented oil candle holders. They are 2 for $4 this week. I used a $2 off a holder coupon and a $1.50 off a holder or refill pack. I was also able to use a coupon to get a free pack of refills when you buy a holder. Bonus was that you get a $1 register reward to spend on your next purchase in store. Brilliant deal.

They also have the small fragrance collection candles as part of the 2 for $4 deal. I have a coupon for a free 2oz. candle so i might try to go back and take advantage of the deal again. I believe I have another $2 off a holder so I could get two items for free and get back a $1 RR. Can't beat that :)

Lots of freebies from Walgreens Photo

Lots of great freebies from Walgreens this week. I went on Sunday to the store and bought the new softsoap bodywash. It was $3.99 and gave back a $4 Register Reward...yay. I also bought a Conair hairbrush on sale this week for $2.99 and it gives a $2 RR. I paid with $4 in previous Register rewards and some money from a gift card that I got free on MyCokeRewards so I didn't even pay anything and got back more money to spend. Good going huh? Here is a pic of the bodywash. It smells good and I think it looks lovely with the little beads in it.

Anyway this week the photo department is doing loads of promoting. There are freebies and bargains galore. Here is a list for what will be available this week:

Monday: 25 4 x 6 prints for $0.25 (promo code PENNY)
Tuesday: Free 11x14 poster (promo code FREEPOSTER)
Wednesday: Free photo clings
Thursday: Free 20 4x6 prints
Friday: $0.99 scrapbook page 8x10

Thanks to hotcouponworld for posting these deals. You can check for the promo codes each day here.

I've already placed my order for today. You can place an order for the prints up until 23:59 tonight.

Walgreens Glade Sense and Spray

This was not only free for me but I got money back...yay!!!
Walgreens this week are selling Glade Sense and Spray for $6.99 and giving a $2 Register Reward back. There are always coupons in the Sunday papers for $3 or $4 off these which makes it a real bargain. I had a coupon for a free one so I paid nothing and got $2 back. Can't get better than that :)
The offer at Walgreens also include the Lasting Impressions plug in and the wisp candle. I have a coupon for a free Lasting Impressions so I will go back some time this week to get that. I couldn't get them both at the same time because the way their program works you would only get the one Register Reward and of course I want two of them, lol.

Kroger Mega Saver Event

Kroger are having a mega saver event which they do every so often. This was the first time I actively participated in the deals....mainly because we seem to have spent a lot of money quickly this month and I wanted to stock up on drinks and water.
Basically you buy ten participating products and a $5 discount is taken off at checkout. So, you could buy 10 bottles of SoBe water at $0.99 each and after the $5 discount they are $0.49 each. Good deal huh? Even better if you have coupons to match some of the items. If you have good coupons you can get stuff for free or close to it. I bought a Kraft dressing at $1.69. After a $1 coupon and the discount it was only $0.19.
I got a whole bunch of stuff for bargain prices. My favourite was the 3l bottles of Ozarka water that after discount was $0.49 so I got a few bottles of that for our hurricane ration kit, I got a bunch of the Quaker rice cakes which I love, some Rice Krispies and a bunch of other stuff we needed. The salad kits were all reduced which was good since I'm planning on filling up on salad for the next few weeks.
Oh I almost forgot mars chocolate bars are 2 for $1 with your Kroger card and I used 4 of the free coupons from the Mars chocolate giveaway. The cashier puts them through at the full coupon value which is $0.89 so for $2 of chocolate we were credited $3.56 so the spare $1.56 went towards paying for the rest of our groceries.

Old Navy Flag T-Shirts for $1

Another deal at Old Navy this Friday July 3rd. Their flag shirts will be on sale for just $1. I believe there will be a limit of 5 per customer. That is a serious bargain and if they release new coupons on their website that would be an absolute steal.
They are not really my type of apparel but seriously for $1 I would buy a couple and use them as cover ups for going swimming.

edit: Apparently not all stores are doing this sale so it's a bit of a lucky dip. I bet they all go on sale after July 4th though.

Aquafresh toothpaste free after Register Rewards

This week at Walgreens Aquafresh Advanced toothpaste (5.6 or 6oz.) is on sale for $3 and you receive a $3 register reward to spend effectively making the purchase free. Even better is if you have the $0.75 coupon from last Sunday's paper. I understand there are also $1 coupons available to print on the aquafresh website.

Old Navy rib-knit tanks for $2 - Saturday only

Old Navy is having another great promotion. This Saturday (June 20th) they are selling rib-knit tanks for just $2!!! There is a limit of 5 per customer and as with the flip flops sale recently I would imagine you would have to get there pretty early to get the best choice.

Cheap Airwick and Glade at Target

Airwick imotion are on sale at Target at the moment for $4.99. When you use the $4 coupons they are only $0.99. I got the Lavender & Vanilla scent because I am using that at the moment and it is a lovely scent. Usually Lavender and Vanilla scents can be overpowering but this one is really nice. I also got the Mountain Breeze one to try. If it smells horrible it doesn't really matter because it only cost $0.99.



Also at Target are the Glade scented oil candles in the tins. They are ringing up as $1.67. There are $1.50 coupons which makes these only $0.17. There are also coupons for a free pack of refills when you buy the tin and other coupons for a free tin when you buy the refills.


The Dewberry Dreams scent is the favorite in my home so I stocked up on those but I also have the Clean Linen scent just for a change.
