AMAZING!!!

I worked an incredible deal at CVS tonight! I was trying to follow someone elses deal but ended up not having the right coupons, so I sat down and figured it out for myself and think I ended up with an even better deal! I did two transactions.

Here are the totals before any coupons or sale prices for both deals $ 200.52

Total I paid for all of it after coupons and extra care bucks: $4.32!!!

This means I saved $196.32

This is AMAZING!

Here is how I did it:
#1) 4 glade candle holders at $2.50 each
4 glade candle refills at $2.50 each
1 nova Max blood glucose monitor for 9.99. ( this was on sale $65.00 off)

I had coupons for buy one holder get one refill free on the glade. I also had a $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase. So here is how it worked...
My total after the sale price but before any coupons or extra care bucks came to $29.99.

First I used the $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase. ($24.99)
I had 4 coupons for the buy 1 get 1 glade. ($24.99-10.00= 14.99)
I used 13.99 in extra care bucks (14.99-13.99=1.00 add tax +1.50= 2.50)
So for the first deal I only paid $2.50 out of pocket!
I got 15.99 back in extra care bucks and it also printed out a coupon for $5.00 off a $25.00 purchase.

#2) My second deal I got a Bayer contour blood glucose monitor for $14.99 (this was on sale for $65.00 off) and I had a coupon for $14.99 so this was free.

I got two packs of pampers diapers at $8.99 each and had two coupons one for 2.00 off and another for 1.50 off.
I added in two caramels for $0.33 each this was so I didn't waste my extra care bucks.

Here is how it worked. Total after sale price but before coupons or extra care bucks. $33.63
I used the $5.00 off $25.00 purchase (33.63-$5.00$28.63)
Coupon for $14.99 off the glucose monitor (28.63-14.99=13.64)
Two diaper coupons (13.64-3.50=$10.14)
I used 10.00 in extra care bucks ($10.14-10.00= $0.14)
add in tax ($0.14 +$1.68= $1.82)
I paid $1.82 out of pocket and with the bayer glucose monitor there is a Rebate for the price you pay up to $55.00 so I will get a check back for $14.99)


Now I could have paid nothing for this, but it is all a matter of when the sales person hits the subtotal button. There is a time that they can hit the button and it will allow the extra care bucks to pay the sales tax, but if they hit it at some other point it won't let them pay for the sales tax. This is not that big of a deal but could be the difference in why someone can pay $0.40 cents and you may end up paying $1.20. Don't fight this if it happens to you, just realize you got an amazing deal.

What can you get for $108.15

If you need formula now is the time to get it at Target. Similac is on sale for $19.99. If you get the similac coupons in the mail you can get $5.00 off each container. So all of the items you see below were $172.95 before any savings. After savings I paid $108.15 That is a savings of $64.80!! Now normally I would never spend this much at one time, but like I said I have never seen formula go this low and then be able to use a coupon on it as well. I was very pleased with this deal. I am anxious to see how long the formula will last us. I am hoping through December, but I am not sure on that! Now if I see any good deals on formula that I have other coupons for etc I will get them, but only if I can get it for next to nothing!

Toilet paper deal..

At walgreens right now quilted northern is 3.99 for 6 rolls. There was a coupon in the October 11th RedPlum insert and there is a coupon here at coupons.com. This makes it 2.99 for 6 rolls. That is pretty good!

Also at Bi-Lo. the one I was at had apple jacks on sale Buy one get One and had a coupon right under it for 1.00 off. This is how I got them for $0.55 each so it is worth looking into if you get or want apple jacks! Use 1 coupon for every box you buy. I don't know if all the Bi-Lo's have the coupons with the cereal.

Bad News Greenville, SC

For those of us in Greenville, SC there might be some coupon changes that are not going to be welcomed. I went to Walgreen's last night to get my 2 weekly sunday papers, so I could get the coupons. I was standing in line looking through them to make sure the coupons were there. One of my papers had them, the other did not. So I got up and told the lady I was going to trade out one paper for another one because there were no coupons in it. She told me that the newspaper has decided that they are no longer going to be including coupons in any papers except for those who have a subcription and have it delivered to their home. This made me so mad! They want to increase delivery sales and figured this is the way to do it.
I have written to the newspaper to find out if this is really going to happen. Honestly I think they will end up losing money because I know I am not going to pay the subscription for it and when I would go to Walgreens I always buy 2 papers not just one! I was in there 2 weeks ago and saw a lady with at least 10 papers in her cart! I can promise I won't be getting two subscriptions! Anyway I will follow up as soon as I hear back from someone at the paper about it.

Bi-Lo deal!!!

I got these 6 items for $4.98

Total before savings: 36.17

Total savings: $31.19

Do you realize how much coupons help save?? If I had just paid for this it would almost be two weeks worth of my grocery budget!

Oh!! I just realized that the 2 liter of Coke I got is not in the picture!
