K-Mart Monday Night

I did a transaction on my card and one on my mother's card (this was all her stuff, paid for with her money, so for those who have ethical issues with the use of more than one card to get around the 5 per day limit - it wasn't for me!).

Her transaction:

purchased:
120 load bottle Downy, $9.00
55 load box Tide, $9.00
Oral-B Advantage toothbrush, $2.79
30 oz bottle Dawn, $3.50
Febreze Air Effects, $2.50

used:
$1.00 Downy, 4/4 PG
$1.00 Tide, 4/4 PG
$2.00 Oral-B, 4/4 PG
.50 Dawn, 4/4 PG
$1.00 Febreze Air Effects, Dress My Nest? booklet - don't remember if that's what the most recent coupon booklet in the mail is called or not...

All the coupons doubled, except the Oral-B which just gave and extra 79 cents to make it free.

So the total was $18.35 and she will submit for the $10.00 Mastercard. She's pretty happy with that.

For my transaction I still hadn't gotten all my coupons together, so here's what I got:

1 tube Clearasil (son just told me Sunday he needed some), $4.49
3 boxes Hartz dog biscuits, $3.99 each
2 Whiskas cat food trays, .59 each

used:
$2.00 Clearasil printable
(3) $2.00 Hartz printables
BOGO Whiskas printable (printed previously on coupons.com)

Total: $1.03

Kmart Super Doubles are Here!

Stopped by last night after church to make sure that Paducah is participating; also made my husband go with me & use his card! Don't have the receipts in front of me so I'll just list the items I (we) bought.

used $1.50 coupon from 3/21 SS
Final price 32 cents plus tax

Loreal Everpure Hair Masque

I Love CVS Clearance!

So, I ran into CVS this week to grab a couple of things and just "happened" to check their clearance. So glad I did since they had 2 boxes of Olay Regenerist marked down. So here's what I left with:

Total OOP $2.57, and got back my EB earned for last quarter's spending!

Walgreens - Saturday 3/13

Had such a good trip to Walgreens! I went in to get toothbrushes, Nestle Crunch & John Frieda Hair products - quite the combination. Since the hubby & son were with me I also ended up getting a couple of clearance items. Here's what I left with:

- Walgreens in-ad coupon, deducted $1.83

6 pkgs Reach toothbrushes 3/$9.00; these were the single toothbrushes that were on sale but all six packages I picked up were specially marked packages with an extra brush so I got 12 toothbrushes

I love trips like this!

Kmart Super Doubles - I'm Sooo Excited!

So, after hearing that Kmart Super Doubles were coming next month, but knowing that our Kmart hasn't participated the last several times it was going on, I emailed Kmart yesterday. Here's the response I received...

YES! We are participating; I have to admit I'm very excited! I may have to make a trip to Kmart to scope out possible deals.

CVS & Rainchecks

I love that CVS gives rainchecks, but what I really love is that when you have a raincheck for an item that was giving Extra Bucks, the computer rounds up to the next whole dollar. In December, CVS had ThermaCare wraps for $2.49 (which is the regular price) get $2.49 EB. Naturally, they were out every time I looked that week, so I got a rain check. As I'm redeeming part of the rain check last Saturday, I bought two of the wraps and ended up with (2) $3.00 EB. How awesome!

Saturday Night at CVS...

Because isn't that the happening place on Saturday night? Here's the thing, we were almost out of Cokes & we are (ok, some of us are) addicted to Cokes, so this is not a good situation. However, I refused to by them until our CVS started this week's sale. So, off to CVS for our 7 cartons of Coke products...

Purchased:
6 cartons of Coca-Cola
1 carton Nestea Iced Tea

Used:
(1) $1.00/2 "peelie" coupon (my mother found them when she was buying Vanilla Cokes at Super Valu recently & made sure she only got the cartons with the coupons)
(4) $1.00 coupons from Recycle Bank
$13.00 EB

Spent:
$5.21 OOP

Earned:
$10.00 EB

I just love it when these trips work the way I plan!
