My Kroger Trip(s) 7/28
The Last of the Mega 10 Sale
Took the last of my printable Soft-soap, Speedstick, SoBe and Purina to take advantage of the freebies & moneymakers for this sale. Also used the new coupons.com milk printables - so happy with these! At the Kroger on Park Avenue a lot of the "Free" coupons end up being money-makers because there's a dollar limit on them that apparently comes up and if the cashier doesn't override it with the actual price.... For instance, the coupon for a free gallon of white milk rang up $4.00 and the one for the free half-gallon of chocolate milk rang up $3.75; the SoBe rang up $1.79 and she only overrode 2 of the 7 that I used.
I came out several dollars less than I was expecting so I looked at my receipt when I got in the car after I loaded the groceries in and made this discovery. What an wonderful surprise. I took advantage of the $7 or so that I didn't spend there and the extra $10 hubby handed me that I wasn't expecting to have (self-employment - sometimes you just don't know when the check is really going to get there...lol) and went to the Kroger at Hannan Plaza to get meat.

Only 32% savings, but since I just went for meat, that's okay with me.
**The reasons I went to Hannan Plaza were that Park Avenue didn't have much meat marked down when I went, my hubby gave me an extra $10 when I saw him after I'd already made the Park Avenue trip, and I knew I had Tyson coupons expiring today & Hannan Plaza is the only Kroger that has the fresh Tyson.

CVS Advisor Panel
Go here to sign up for the CVS Advisor Panel.
I signed up a month or two ago; last Monday I received an email from them asking if I would be interested in completing a survey today (providing I qualified). I clicked on the link and answered the questions to see if I qualified, at the end of the questions it said I qualified, gave me instructions so I would be ready when I received the email today. The survey today probably took around 15 minutes, now my account will be credited 10 EB on August 13th (works out well since that's my birthday).
I don't know how they determine who to select for the surveys since I got this one but a friend of mine who is signed up with them didn't (sorry Penny), but I'm really glad that I signed up!

**I almost didn't post this trip because of the exceptionally large number of printables I used. At a print limit of 2 per computer, this is a large number to have. I have traded for some, had people who didn't need them print some and printed some at the local library. For those who view this as crossing an ethical line, I'm sorry it bothered you. It may seem like an excessive amount of soap and deodorant, but it will all be used and since I was making money on the deodorant to offset the cost of other items I bought a lot these past couple of weeks and it has helped!

Go here to print coupons for Hormel products. I don't remember how much the Hormel Refrigerated Entrees are, but I'm hoping $2.00 off will make them cheap enough to try.

My Very Small CVS Trip Today
I had a much larger one that involved a $10 off $50 coupon, $2.94 ECB and $1.70 cash, but I'm too tired tonight to pull out the receipt or remember the details - Maybe tomorrow. Meanwhile, my small stop at the Hannan Plaza CVS today went as follows:
(7) J&J First Aid Kits 99¢ each - $6.93
(7) J&J Red Cross $1.00 q's - 6.93 (CVS adjusted down to avoid overage)
42¢ OOP (cash - what can I say I just went crazy...LOL)
This brought me to a total of 10 kits = $9.90 so I was thinking I would have to stop at the CVS in Lone Oak & see if they had any kits left so I could go ahead and get my $5 ECB. Even my receipt from this trip says - Total spent toward this ECB $9.90, total needed to earn this ECB $0.10.
So imagine my surprise when the $5 ECB printed on this receipt! Don't know why since the receipt shows the correct total spent; don't think I really care why, I'm just thankful for what I received.
