I keep waiting for a really good week...... but this week wasn't bad. I did have to drop the Pantene Beautiful lengths deal from my scenario as my store didn't carry it.<br />

I did the P&G deal 3 times here- buy $30 worth of select products, get $10 UP.<br />
In total, I spent $8.99 (almost all tax), saved $129.80 and earned $30 UP and $2 SCR (gillette). I didn't get my Oral care gift card in time for this week to cover the tax, so I actually had OOP expenses this week.<br />

I had RR expiring today do had to get this deal done! I had tried once on Mon and one of my coupons wouldn't go through. So I came home, checked it out, it was fine so I tried again today at a different store and they were willing to push it through! So, only one transaction but an expensive one, so the tax was high (darn TN state sales tax!)<br />
<br />
3 Dulcolax 4.1 oz 6.99x3= 20.97<br />
2 Nyquil 5.00 x 2= 10<br />
2 Schick intuition refills =21.98<br />
2 seed packets on clearance .16 ea x 2= .28<br />
=$53.23<br />
-10.99 bogo sale on schick<br />
-8 (2) 4 schick facebook qs (the ones to cause all the problems)<br />
-16 (2) 8 Dulcolax try me free IP<br />
-3 Dulcolax SS 8/08 or 9/12<br />
-6 Dulcolax Wags Sept coupon book q (2 ea)<br />
-3 (2) 1.50 Nyquil q's<br />
- 4RR<br />
-1RR ( I had a 2RR I should have used but did the math wrong- oh well)<br />
Subtotal: $1.28<br />
+lots of tax=<br />
$5.19<br />
Saved: $64.13<br />
Got back 5RR (Nyquil)<br />
<br />
There is a better deal with the Nyquil Vanilla swirl but of course, not to be found here yet as seems to be the case with any new products: we get it later. It does sound disgusting though, and we actually will use the gel caps! And I LOVE the schick intuition razor. So easy to use. While I don't need the Dulcolax, it helped pay for what I did need.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-32863081309724242362010-09-02T11:31:00.001-05:002010-09-02T11:31:28.187-05:00Rite Aid Aug 31<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsMQshKzRKTiridceOjDo0L1-RzVrcje5rh6QI0Qy9CVdGp2vTszT9eBj1G7Bcwo-PGG6IV0UEgJzOo07FLIFWhP60yxKg7AEwEAQ5uSKPoIzyc4F-6Wh05oD7P9Hr5jxAzyxMNmxgkU/s1600/rite+aid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAsMQshKzRKTiridceOjDo0L1-RzVrcje5rh6QI0Qy9CVdGp2vTszT9eBj1G7Bcwo-PGG6IV0UEgJzOo07FLIFWhP60yxKg7AEwEAQ5uSKPoIzyc4F-6Wh05oD7P9Hr5jxAzyxMNmxgkU/s320/rite+aid.jpg" /></a></div><br />

But I'm already eating into my savings with the start of this week! Yikes! We were out of everything it seemed, so I had to spend some money today. Also, it's a month with 5 weeks in in it, so I guess I'll just add on to my budget for an extra week.<br />
<br />
This week:<br />
Spent: $43.55<br />
Saved: $487.98!!<br />
Earned: $33.49 SCR, $5 MIR (publix gift card)<br />
<br />
So far this month I've spent $205.93 regular budget, add in Whole Foods/TJ = $310.69 for the first 4 weeks! That's about $100 underbudget! I'l make it up this week though, esp. as it's been 4 weeks since I've been to TJ so I need to go again. Normally, this would be the start of another 4 weeks monthly period but it's not. So? I guess we'll see!<br />
At least I do this only for myself so the rules are completely made up by me!:)<br />

So, day 2. I didn't do NEARLY as well as day 1. Spent way more than usual but it happens sometimes!<br />
2 transactions:<br />
Spent: $14.71- this includes a legitimate coupon that wouldn't scan for $2.50 so def. should have been at least that much less. I may take it back in later. My super helpful manager wasn't in and the cashiers were already nervous about price matching a few items to the National ad.<br />
Saved: $53.21<br />
Earned: $15 SCR<br />
So at least I earned back what I spent!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-4822196183857118442010-08-25T18:02:00.002-05:002010-08-25T18:02:45.118-05:00Totals Aug 15-21Just realized I forgot to post this!<br />

I SO look forward to shopping this week with both boys in school!!!!!!!! All day!!!!! (Well, except Mon, my Kindergartener has a half day on Mon) but Tues is the DAY after almost 8 years at home with one child or another. Of course, I'll still be at the school a lot helping out!<br />

Saved: $403.54<br />
WF: $4.32<br />
Saved: $1.00<br />
Earned: $10 Cat (HT), $4 cat (Kroger), a movie ticket (poptarts- immediately sent to work with my husband), and I submitted for the Schick Hydro rebate!<br />
<br />
I shopped a bit of HT Superdoubles and will do more this Tues when I am kid free! I had a GREAT Publix shop on Wed (had only 1 child with me)- I went negative by about $2 (bought a $10 Gift card to cover it) and saved $135.21!<br />
I had a hard time squeezing in the drug stores this week. Ended up getting a raincheck at CVS for the Dulcolax (Still not in today), and doing a Rite Aid trip Thurs afternoon, with only 1 transaction and hitting up Wags on Friday to roll my RR as there is NOTHING there this week! I will post my shops this week though! With pictures. I promise. I have everything from last week ready to photograph but it's over now, so not much point, I guess! I did quite well at Wags though! And got free Tide at Rite Aid!<br />
<br />
I did one CVS transaction today but I hope to do two more if I can find the Dulcolax and Zegerid in. I want to get in on the Cottonelle TP!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-53841409562257362782010-08-11T18:04:00.001-05:002010-08-11T18:04:23.616-05:00What happened to me?Well, last week I did do a lot of drugstore shopping and I DID take a picture of all 4 shops but I never got around to posting them:( I worked ALL weekend then have the kids this week still and it's been insane. I haven't even made it to the drug stores yet. I did hit up HT today for Super doubles and had an awesome trip to Publix.<br />
School starts TOMORROW!!! Really, next week before they are really going but then I hope to be able to post more faithfully.<br />

I know I need to get into the picture taking more, but it's been so hot out, I pretty much want to get everything put away ASAP! I promise I'll take one of my Rite Aid trip this week though!<br />
<br />
So today:<br />
I did 2 transactions at Kroger:<br />

<br />
YMMV on getting overage at Kroger. Yes, the Sominex coupons beeped but then so did my Silk ones and even my Ronzoni where there was no overage involved. Benevia does not as the original price is $7.99 I think. My cashier pushed them all through.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-79251986404849620782010-07-26T19:46:00.000-05:002010-07-26T19:46:43.121-05:00Awesome Rite Aid trip- July 26Had another great trip to Rite Aid!

RA is also changing things up- not for the best for us, sadly! Starting with the July Video Values, they are coded for ONE use only, which is a bummer, but understandable, I suppose:) This was still a good week though, and the Garnier VV q that I used was from June so I was able to use 4 of those still. This first transaction is from Brandy of I prefer Publix, with one change as the IP for the Smooth Move tea is out of prints.<br />

Hope this helps! Change things around for what you need. I needed the TP and the mascara mostly and the Axe for my husband, so I worked everything else around what made me the most $$.

Quite a bit worse than last week, even. I had a few more expensive trips to Kroger and I stocked up on ibuprophen at Rite Aid that ended up costing more than I had planned. I did have a few really good Publix trips though:<br />

This is a great week for CVS so I will post that next! Rite Aid is good too, but we didn't get all the deals in our lame short ad, in fact, we didn't get the BEST deal, the Zegerid, so that is a big bummer.Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-52373141903784126662010-07-11T14:42:00.000-05:002010-07-11T14:42:44.779-05:00Drug store deals July 11-17Not much in the way of drug store deals this week. Walgreens has NOTHING so unless you have RR expiring, I would skip it. Unfortunately, all $8 worth of RR that I had left expired TODAY so I had to go. It wasn't great.<br />
<br />
CVS has a few deals this week and it is the beginning of the school supplies deals! Those are quite good.<br />
I had hoped to get two packages of Cottonelle TP on the BOGO sale, but they rang up at $12.49 ea!!! That's a horrible price, even for CVS and I decided not worth it! Even at Wags, the regular price on the 12 pack is $5.99 and they are on sale at HT and Kroger this week for SO MUCH cheaper that I didn't wan to use up ALL my ECBS on that. They will have a better deal again.<br />
Here's what I did:<br />
#1<br />
1 Complete contact solution. $7.99<br />
1 papermate pens 10 ct .99<br />
1 Scissors (for kids) .99<br />
<br />
Used:<br />
-2 mq on Contact (RP 5/16)<br />
-8 ECB from last week<br />
Subtotal: -.03<br />
Total: .89<br />
Got back: $7.99, .99 and .99 ECB for the above items and $1 more for the 4x on my bag tag!<br />
<br />
#2<br />
(2) John Frieda products:<br />
used:<br />
-3 Root awakening SS 6/06 (my last one or I would have used 2 of these!)<br />
-2 JF product SS 6/06<br />
-$2.98 ECB from previous transaction<br />
<br />
Sub: $2.02<br />
Total: $2.85<br />
Got back $5 ECB for a total of $12.99 in ECB left for next time. My plan changed a little with the TP price so I couldn't use the $7.99 ECB without losing too much of it!<br />
Saved(on both together):<br />
$26.76<br />
<br />
I'm working on Rite Aid still!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-46344252966618924302010-07-11T14:23:00.000-05:002010-07-11T14:23:52.682-05:00TotalsSo long time! We got back last week but last week was a whirl wind of trying to re-stock the house after coming back to NOTHING. I still have nothing, despite going quite a bit over my budget. I did stock up on meat some at Kroger, finding quite a few managers specials there this week. I went to Rite Aid, Target twice, CVS, and Publix 4 times trying to score some deals. Slim pickings. I hope this week is better! And I forgot several q's, $3 worth at Rite Aid which still annoys me and a couple more at Publix. Argg.<br />
<br />
Totals:<br />
Spent $112.16<br />
Saved: $407.51<br />
Whole Foods: $16.07 (mostly soy yogurt at Kroger for Cal; he missed it but man, it's $1.25 ea there!)<br />
Earned: $23.39 in SCR<br />
$15 Target gift cards, $10 left.<br />
<br />
<br />
I didn't post my June month end, it's a bit off because of preparing for traveling but here's what I got:<br />
Month of June (may 30-June 26th)<br />
Spent: $420.47<br />
Saved:$1,159.29<br />
earned: $43 SCR<br />
$30 GC (rite aid)<br />
<br />
Then there is a "free" week . June 27-July 3rd I just did on it's own. We got back late on the 2nd. I shopped in Pinetop, AZ where the ONLY stores are a Safeway, a Walmart and a Walgreens. That is it.<br />
I spent $65.84 that week, including a quick trip to Publix on the 3rd when we were back for a few vitals.<br />
saved: $69.70 which is pretty bad for me! But the only savings at Walmart was a $1 coupon I had.<br />
<br />
So onto the month of July!Colleenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03067541641184718318noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216922077582847041.post-24247031327735144652010-06-21T14:39:00.000-05:002010-06-21T14:39:19.314-05:00Rite Aid- June 20-26We leave on vacation on Wed so I am going crazy getting ready for that! I did manage to make it to Rite Aid yesterday though. I didn't see anything to get excited about at CVS this week and I might go to Wags if I have time to roll a few RR that expire next Sunday. There IS a Walgreens where we are going in AZ but NO Rite Aid! I haven't checked for a CVS yet.<br />
