Proof that we all mess up..

I spent roughly $22 OOP at CVS Sunday morning. *head desk*

I was mad at myself. I miscalculated the Pantene ad. I did the math off the 2/$5 and not the 2/$7. I only had $5 in ECBs to start with, and then I found the Infusium 23 for $3.50 and I had $3/1 Qs and I just couldn't pass it up so I used all 10 of the Qs I had. Although given my typical savings level I can't really complain too much. My cashiers were trying to talk me down from my self hating in the middle of the store. *rofl*

I walked out with..

5 Pantene Shampoos
5 Pantene Conditioners
3 Infusium 23 Shampoos
3 Infusium 23 Conditioners
4 Infusium 23 Leave-in Treatments
1 Schick Intuition
1 NovaMax Monitor
6 Dawn Dish Soaps


I can't complain, they're right. That's over $200 in product easily. No use staying upset about it, but I'll just make sure to double check my math before I hit the register.

The New Year

Means a somewhat fresh start with the coupons. I purged all my Qs that expire on the 31st. I regrouped and reorganized. Starting January 1st I'm going to log my savings. My goal will be to offset all my CVS spending and then some by donating items that I have a surplus of, or just won't use.

Target Deals 12/19

Of all places I never would have suspected Target to be some decent deals. Hot Coupon World's printable Target Qs are wonderful! Today I got..

3 heads of cauliflower
6 containers of Campbell's Select Harvest soup (the microwavable kind)
1 package of True North Nuts
6 cans of Pilsbury biscuits (5 per can)

My OOP was just over $10


I was shocked to see Target giving CRTs. They've come n handy, and with this trip I got a CRT for 20oz or larger frozen Tyson chicken item. Hopefully I'll be able to find a manufacturer Q for Tyson before my Target Q expires. :D

CVS Haul 12/18/08

Between 2 CVS stores I got the following items..

1 Johnson & Johnson First Aid Kit To Go
2 Kiss Custom Fit Nail Kits
3 L'Oreal Liquid Eyeliners
4 Sally Hansen Nail Polishes

Total OOP was $1.44


I think I have enough nail polish and I'll be getting more this weekend. If only I wore it enough to validate the amount I have. *rofl*

P&G Year of Savings

P&G Year of Savings

Buy $50 of P&G products between now and January 31st and get $120 in P&G coupons! All you have to do is send in the form with the original receipts circling the purchases and their price.

I already have mine done and in an envelope ready to go out tomorrow. I spent $2.44 out of pocket to get to the $50 limit since it started 2 days ago. Thank you CVS. *rofl*

Tom Thumb Haul

It's not big, but I got 91% savings!

Frosted Flakes: $2.29 x 5 = $11.45
Buy 5 Save $5: -$5 = $6.45
$1/1 Q: -$5 = $1.45


This weeks Red Plum had some other $1/1 Qs that work with some of the other cereals that are also on sale so I'm going to go tomorrow and Tuesday and pick up 5 boxes of Smart Start, and 5 boxes of Frosted Mini Wheats. :D

CVS 12/21

Awesome sale! Tons of FAECB items. I of course wasted no time in gathering needed Qs and making a scenario. :D



Yes. That's 3c OOP! *happy dance*
