Did You Receive This In The Mail?

Yesterday was a great mail day. I received some coupons, my Kraft magazine, my free Everyday Food magazine and a free Shick razor. The coupons I received will pair up really well with one of the upcoming ECBs at CVS (spend $10 get $5 ECBs wyb Poppycock, Orville Redenbacher, Act II, David, Hunt's or Chef Boyardee products). The coupons include:

-Free 24 oz. Bottle of Hunt's ketchup
-$1 off one chicken nugget Banquet meal
-$1 off 3 Snack Packs
-$1 off Reddi Whip
-$1 off Peter Pan peanut butter
-$1 off Healthy Choice fresh mixers
-$1 off 4 cans of Chef Boyardee
-$1 off one 3 pack of Manwich
-$1 off 2 tubs of boxes of Orville Redenbacher
-$1 off 2 bags of David's sunflower seeds

I will most likely buy 4 cans of Chef Boyardee and 2 boxes of Redenbacher popcorn. I'll use the two $1 coupons so it will cost me $8 OOP and I'll receive $5 ECBs. Not a bad price on items that I am running low on.

Did you get this too?

Two CVS Trips This Week

I think it's almost a record - I only went to CVS twice this week. I was too busy getting ready for the garage sale. I just LOVE when they pay you to take their products. I was able to pick up 4 monitors this week so that gave me $20 in extra cash to spend there. It was perfect timing too since Noah was running low on formula.2 Similac $22.99 each
4 glucose monitors $14.99 each, get $5 back for each
4 Schick razors $8.99 each, get $4 back for each
4 St. Ives face scrub $1.49 each
3 Ragu $5
3 Skippy $5, get $3 wyb $10
1 Blade deodorant $1.12
-use (2) $2 Similac coupons
-use (2) $5 Similac checks
-use (4) $14.99 glucose monitor coupons
-use (4) $4 Schick coupons
-use (4) $1.50 St. Ives coupons (adjusted to $1.49)
-use (2) $.30 Ragu coupons
-use $1 Blade coupon
-use $20 ECBs
=$1.03 OOP, received $39 ECBs

These were done as at least two separate transactions. I'm pretty sure I used some of these ECBs to do some of this deal. I still got a lot of stuff though for a great price!

Garage Sale Questions

I am getting ready to have a garage sale this Friday and Saturday so posting will be sporadic. I do have some questions for you though. I have never tried to sell stockpile products at a garage sale before. Any advice? Any idea on what would be a good price? Has anyone had success selling these at a garage sale? Thanks in advance!!

Odds & Ends

I'll be out of town until Monday so I thought I would just do a quick post about some great deals I've found this week.


-if you haven't bought the Coke that is on sale at CVS, use this coupon to make them just $1/12 pk. after coupons and ECBs. The print is unlimited and the coupons are good until August so I would suggest printing a lot!!


-I got some great deals at Target this past week. They have the Banana Boat trial sized sunscreens for $.99 - use the $1 coupon that was in last weeks paper and you can get free sunscreen!


-Use this coupon to score some free Purell while you're there too. You can pick up the trial sized ones for less than $1.


-Walmart this week has the Snuggle creme fabric softener for $4 if you printed out this coupon (not sure if it is still available) you can get it for $2


-Walmart also has the small boxes of Bounce fabric sheets for $2.22 - use the $1 coupon from the P&G saver booklet to get some inexpensive fabric sheets.


-Walmart also has the California Pizza Kitchen pizzas on sale for $5.98. If you printed out the $2 coupons from coupons.com (no longer available) you can get these pizzas for less than $4. I picked up two yesterday.

-The Dry Idea coupon has been reset. Target still has this on sale for $2 - so when you use the coupon they will be free!

Have you found any other great deals? If so, let me know! Have a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day!!

CVS 5/2

Last night my Mom & I ran up to CVS. There were a couple of things from last week's ad and the new ad that started last night that I was hoping to snag. And since I had so many ECBs I figured I could spend some on stuff that we needed even if I didn't earn any new ECBs. Here is what I got:
2 Digiorno pizzas $5 each
2 Starbucks frappaccinos $1.50 each
1 Axe bullet spray 4 pk. $1.50
4 Aveeno shampoo/conditioners $6.45 each
1 Colgate max $2.99
1 Blade body spray $1.17
6 boxes of Kleenex BOGO free $2.39 each
1 Colgate max $2.50
2 Emblem nuts $.99 each
-used (2) $1.25 off Digiorno coupons
-used (2) $1 off Frap coupons
-used $10/3 Aveeno products coupon
-used (2) $1 off Colgate coupons
-used $1 off Blade coupon
-used (2) $.50/3 Kleenex coupons
-used $2/2 Emblem nut CRT coupon
-used $3/$10 hair product CRT coupon
-used $20.89 ECBs
=$12.57 OOP, received $13 ECBs

For some reason one of the Colgates that I bought did not produce the ECBs so I'll be returning that one and getting the correct kind. The Starbucks coffee is a hidden deal. I'm not sure if it ended yesterday or if it will work this week too - I hope it will since I have 2 more of the $1 off coupons. I wanted to do the Coke deal too but they were out of Cherry Coke so hopefully I'll be able to do that deal sometime this week.

The May Charity Challenge will take place the week of May 4-8! I hope you'll participate!
