A free bathing suit for my daughter!

My parents gave me a gift card to Kohls and I used it about a week ago to buy running capris.  The cashier handed me two coupons for $10 off, no purchase necessary. Today I bought my daughter a much needed Speedo bathing suit on sale  for $20.00' regularly $40. I handed over the two coupons expecting to pay tax.  The balance on the reciept? ZERO!  A completely free bathing suit for my daughter, yippee!
Total spent was zero.

Free stuff at CVS-gotta love that!

At CVS the full sized Colgate Max Fresh Breath Strips toothpaste was on sale for 2.99. Is that a mouthful just to say, or what? Sheesh. In addition there were $2 in ECB as a rebate. I had one .75 cents coupon and one $1.00 off coupon, made it pretty much free! Right Guard body wash was on sale for $2.99 with a $2.00 ECB back. I had a BOGOF free coupon for the bodywash.




Total spent was $7.90 and I received $7.54 in ECB. Total out of  pocket was $.36 cents. I can handle that for four great items for charity! Yippee!

Blink eye drops at CVS for my Mom



My Mom uses Blink eyedrops regularly, so I was happy to find a good deal on a bottle for her. The marked price was $7.99 with a $7.99 Extra Care Bucks return. I had a $1 off manufacturer's coupon. I also had $4.97 in ECB which I used on the transaction.

Total spent on the transaction was  $7.77, with a $7.99 ECB back, so I made .23 cents.

Stayfree at Walgreens

My stockpile of Stayfree is completely gone. I did this transaction three times. Each pack was on sale for $2.99 with a RR of $3 back. I had dollar off coupons for each box, thus making a tiny bit of money; $.72 cents on each transaction which builds up my charity money nicely.:)


 On this transaction I made .72 cents three times for a total of $2.16.
YTD to spend is $11.03
I received products worth $12.75

Nexcare rebate and free Stayfree!

Stayfree pads are on sale at Walgreens for $2.99 a pack with a RR of $3.00 back. Nexcare bandaids are on sale for $2.99 with a rebate attached for the sale price to be refunded.
I paid $6.56 ( I used two previous RR for $5 on this transaction and rounded it out with another $1.25. I further complicated this transaction by getting $20 in cash back. Yikes when will this mental math midget learn to make things easier on herself with cash only? YIKES!)



Total spent on the transaction was $5.56. I will get back $2.99 in a rebate and got back a RR of $3.00. I made $.43 cents on this one.
YTD to spend is $8.87

Moneymaker at Walgreens

Boxes of Splenda  with 100 count packets are sale at Walgreens for $2.99 with a RR of $4 if you buy three. I bought three and used three $3 off coupons on the transaction. Since the sale price was less than the coupon, they made me buy something else, so I added the Stayfree pads on sale for $2.99 with a $3 RR back. I wish I had had a Stayfree coupon with me, but I had left them at home. See I told you I am not exactly a coupon Ninja-DOH!



Total spent on the transaction was $3.25 and got back $7.00 in RR so it was a money maker of $3.75.
