CVS and Publix Hauls! May 14, 2014

Thursday, May 15, 2014


I Hi everyone! I went shopping last night at CVS and Publix and want to share some of the great deals that I scored with you guys!

CVS:

There's two really good deals going right now- Purex Detergent is buy one get two free. This was awesome as we are totally out and I needed to stock up. I was able to get 3 bottles for $6.29!

The next deal happening this week is Neutrogena- buy 3 face care products earn 10 ECB's. As I mentioned before hubby is super picky on his products so this was the perfect time to stock up on his face lotion. Here's the scenario:

Face lotion x 2 @ $7.99- $15.98
Bar soap - $3.19
Detergent- $6.29
= $25.46
- $3/2 Neutrogena sun care CVS coupon (was on a tear pad in the cosmetics section. I wasn't sure if it would work but the lotion is SPF 20 and it went through fine)
- 2 x 10 ECB's 
=$2.46 + tax 
$3.34 OOP

Earn 10 ECB's for the Neutrogena and 5 ECB's for hitting $50 in the Beauty Club.


Next stop was Publix. I had to pick up a few things for the week but I want to mention a really great freebie you can score! There's a coupon in the Mother's Day green flyer for BOGO Bush's Cocina Latina beans. There's also a manufacturers coupon for the same thing- meaning you can get them for FREE! 
I hopped on EBay and got 10 coupons for just a few dollars. Last night I picked up 10 cans using 5 each of the Publix and manufacturers coupons, and still have 10 cans to go. This deal runs until May 23 so there's still time if you're interested! 
Happy shopping everyone!

Great day at Publix! Axe Products, Clear Hair and Scalp, and Saran Wrap!

Wednesday, May 7, 2014

Today was a totally awesome day at Publix! We've really been needing to stock up on household items and toiletries, and my hubby is super picky about which brands he will use. For styling his hair he will only use Axe styling paste. I've been searching for a deal on this stuff for months and finally a great one came along! 

Normally he pays between $6-$8 for a jar of this stuff. This week they had it on sale for $5.99, and there was a store coupon for $2 off 2. I did a quick search on eBay and found manufacturers coupons for $2.50 off one which I could combine with the store coupon to get them at a stock up price. Here's the math:

2 Axe styling products @ $5.99 = $11.98
- $2/2 Publix coupon
- $2.50 off 1 manufacturers coupon x 2
= $4.48 for 2 or $2.24 each!

I bought 6 but I have a few more coupons so I may go back and buy a few more.

The next deal was the Axe body wash. These were on sale for $3.99 and I used the same coupons and the same math:

2 Axe body washes @ $3.99 each = $7.98

- $2/2 Publix coupon
- 2 x $2.50/1 manufacturers coupon 
= $.98 or $.49 each! Great deal!

The Clear Hair and Scalp shampoo is another brand that my hubby will use and also happened to be a good deal. I actually needed Shampoo and conditioner myself so I split this up between us - 5 bottles each. It was normally priced $4.99 a bottle but there was a Publix coupon that made it much less. Here's the math:

$4.99 x 10 = $49.99
- 10 x $1.50/1 Publix coupons
- 10 x $2.00/1 Manufactuers coupons
=$14.99 for 10 or $1.49 each

My favorite deal of the day was the Glad Wrap- each one was only 4 cents! :) The Manufactuers coupon was a printable so I only had two, but here's how it went:

2 x Glad Wrap @ $1.79 = $3.58
- 2 x $1 Manufactuers coupon
- 2 x $.75 Publix coupons 
= $.8 - winning! :)

Today's trip left me with several months worth of products we need and $99.42 to transfer into savings! 

I find my deals at www.iheartpublix.com. If you don't have Publix in your area but want to save big bucks like this just drop me a line and I'll help you find a way to get started. :)

Happy Shopping!

Great day at CVS!

Wednesday, April 23, 2014


I haven't been couponing at CVS the past few months because we were so busy with the wedding. Now were back, married, and happy to report a great shopping trip today! I only had $1.50 in ECB's to start with (my quarterly earnings) and I was able to score some great deals on things we needed. Here's the breakdown:

Transaction #1:

2 scope to go 4 packs @ $2.49 each
(These are part of an oral-b deal from this weeks ad where you earn 3 ECB's for each product. These happened to be included making them a $.51 money maker!
 
Total- (after tax and my $1.50 ECB) = $3.73

Earn 6 ECB's

Transaction #2:

1 Oral B 3D white electric toothbrush -$21.49

- $6 ECB's
- $4 coupon from CVS's website
Total (including tax)= $13.00

Earn 15 ECB's

Transaction #3

1 Physicians Formula bronzer - $13.79
1 physicians Formula concealer- $7.79

- 15 ECB's
- $3 cosmetics coupon that printed from the coupon machine

= $5.10 (including tax) 

Earn 10 ECB's 

Overall, I spent $21.93, saved $29.50, and earned $10 for next time. I invested a bit more than I normally would, but I had to in order to get started again. (Plus I really needed the bronzer). 

I'm off to plan my next shopping trip- hope you all have a wonderful day!

CVS Black Friday 2010 Sneak Peek (and my plan!!)

Wednesday, November 10, 2010


It's that time of year again! Black Friday is right around the corner! The ad for CVS this year is awesome! There's a TON of Freebies! Rumor has it the ad actually starts Thanksgiving day, so this is the first thing I'll be doing on Turkey day to be sure I don't miss any of the deals!

I'll be starting out with 13 ECB. There's a deal coming up this Sunday for an Oral-B toothbrush that's $23, and you earn 13 ECB. The limit is 2. To be fair, I only have $7.95 ECB so my OOP for this Sunday may be around $25. Rumor has it that this Sunday's paper will have a $10 coupon for these toothbrushes, though, and if so my OOP this week will be $15...and I'll earn 13 ECB for Black Friday. $2 oop for $60 worth of toothbrushes isn't too shabby! :)

So here's a draft of my plan for Black Friday. This is only a draft- there's a good chance more coupons will come out for some of these items before then so I'll have to either tweak it a bit or add filler items to bring my total out of the negative (hate it when that happens!)

By the way- if you are just starting and don't have any ECB's you can still follow this plan. Your first transaction will be about $15 oop, but you'll end up spending very little after that - and saving a TON!

Transaction #1
$3.99 ECB wyb Colgate Sensitive Toothpaste 6oz $3.99 Limit 2

Pumpkin Cornbread

Sunday, March 28, 2010




When we ate at the Pirates House in Savannah, Ryan and I sampled some pumpkin cornbread that Ryan absolutely loved, so I decided to take a crack at it. Here's the recipe I used from allrecipes.com (modified slightly):


Ingredients

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 eggs, well beaten
* 1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin puree
* 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
* 1/4 cup canola oil
* 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
* 1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
2. In a large bowl, stir flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt and make a well in the center. In a small bowl, stir together the eggs, pumpkin, sugar, and oil.
3. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the egg mixture. Stir just until blended; do not over mix. Fold in pecans. Divide the batter evenly among prepared muffin tin cups.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
