Other noteworthy deals.... Harris Teeter triple coupons I spent $62.xx & saved $110.xx. Rite Aid had Purex 3 in 1 laundry sheets on clearance for $1.99 per box I had a $1/2 coupon & the Hershey's Air Delights were on sale for $2.99/bag, I bought 1 bag & 2 boxes of Purex for $4.xx. I have gotten THE BEST deals at CVS!

Thursday I bought
2x Airwick Odor Detecting Freshmatics $7.99 each sale = $15.98 - 2x $4 coupons = $7.98
Airwick Scented Oils refills 2 pack $4.99 sale - $1 coupon = $3.99
Airwick Warmer $1.49 - Free coupon = FREE.
Total $11.97 + got back $10 ECB :)

Transaction #2 
I also bought 1 x Crest Complete with Scope $2.49 - $2 coupon = $.49 & got back $2 ECB

Friday (different CVS)
Crest Complete with Scope $2.39 - $.75 coupon = $1.64
Softsoap Body wash $2.99 sale
Softsoap 4 pack Bar soap $2.99 sale
$5.98 for both Softsoaps - $1/2 coupon = $4.98
$6.62 total - $2 ECB from Thursday = $4.62 + got back $4 ECB ($2 Crest & $2 Softsoap)

Saturday
2x Huggies Jumbo packs $8.99 sale = 17.98 - 1 Free Pack CVS coupon ($8.99) - $1 CVS coupon - $2.50 Mfr coupon = $5.49 for both packs
Huggies 216 ct wipes refill $6 sale - $2 coupon = $4
2x Johnson's baby lotion $3 each $6- $1 coupon = $5
total = $14.49 - $3 CVS baby care coupon - $10 ECB from Airwick sale = $1.47 (+ $1.88 tax) got back $10 ECB

Sunday

Today
we went for PediaSure Side Kicks (& like yesterday they were out :()

2x Johnson Baby wash & lotion $3 each sale $6
1x Candy Corn $.99
total $10.99 - $10 ECB = $.99 got back $.99 ECB


Now my plan is to get 2x PediaSure Side Kicks on sale for $6.49 = $12.98
-2x $3 coupons = $6.98 - $4.99 ECB = $1.99
I might possibly get $10 ECB back depending on if my receipt tallies for the $25 baby products it says I need $7 right now yesterday it said $6 so idk either way 2 packs of Side Kicks for $1.99 is great :)

CVS trip 8.16.11

So I went to CVS tonight I spent $21.78 & got all of this!

This includes
$10 Exxon/Mobil gas card (FREE because I bought over $30 in participating products)
Hershey's Almond Bar FREE (the store was out of Carmello bars so they told me to substitute the bar coupon printed from Extra Care coupon machine)
Revlon Nail polish $4.99 sale saved $.50 - $1 coupon = $3.99 + got $3 ECB = $.99 final
Powerade $1 sale saved $.89 - FREE coupon = FREE
Huggies Newborn Size jumbo pack 36 ct $8.99 sale saved $2.50 - $2.50 coupon = $6.49
Huggies size 1 jumbo pack 40 ct $8.99 sale saved $2.50 - $2.50 coupon = $6.49
Huggies size 3 jumbo pack 31 ct $8.99 sale saved $2.50 - $3 coupon = $5.99
Huggies Sensitive 64 ct wipes $2.79 sale saved $.50 - $1 coupon = $1.79
Huggies Soft Skin 64 ct wipes $2.46 sale saved $.83 - $.50 coupon = $1.96
20 oz Mtn Dew $1.69 (counts towards buy 6 get $1.89 ECB)
CVS moisturizing Body wash $2.27 - $3 coupon (how to get the coupon) = -$.73 overage

I broke this up in to 3 transactions my 1st transaction was the nail polish so that I could use the $3 ECB on my diapers, I also had a $2/$10 baby care purchase coupon that I used on the diapers, my 3rd transaction was for the gas card using the coupon that printed when I bought the diapers.
My theory is we are going to need the diapers why not get them when I can get them for around  $.03 per diaper after the coupons & gas card, since we would be using gas anyway I take the $10 spent out of my total.
I saved  $41.80! or around 66%!!!

Not as much posting today.......

No where near as much posting for me today, I have to work today and have been taking care of other things this am.............

I am Me

I am the mommy in a non traditional family. I have 5 children, DJ who is 9 & my only son, Lily is 5, Cilia is 4, Chloe is 3, and Fiona Faye is due Dec 3. I have an non traditional family because DJ lives with me and my 3 daughters live with their dad in Alabama. I am engaged to a soldier who is currently stationed at Ft Bragg, NC so that is why I am here in NC. I enjoy saving money and will share some of my various ways with you here through my blog!
