Wow I feel normal!

I'm laughing because I did all of my gathering of coupons today and ran around to Walgreens, Jewel and CVS - I feel normal! I missed so much while I was sick and then on vacation. :-)

Here is what I ended up with:

Walgreens

1 Dulcolax - $10 - used $4 IP coupon
1 Ice Mountain water - Free - used free water wyb Dulcolax coupon
4 Dove deodorants - $14 - used 2 $3/2 IP coupons
1 Dove Hair spray - $4 - used $1.50 coupon
1 Biore nose strips - $7.99
1 Biore facial scrub - FREE - used free cleanser wyb strips coupon
3 Easter candy as fillers for RR's I used ($4, $7, $3 RR's)

Total OOP - $15.33
Received $23 in RR! ($10 RR for Dulcolax, $4 RR for Dove hair spray, $4 RR for Dove deodorant, $5 RR for Biore)

I finally found the Lighthouse caramel dip - they had 1 on the shelf. The coupon beeped and the cashier called over the manager - while waiting, the other cashier came up and looked it all over and told her to just enter it as $1 mfg. coupon. Well, she didn't and then the photo guy comes up and looks at it all and says, "well that's because it would be free". I say "no, I use coupons to make stuff free all of the time." So I told her to just remove it from the order, it's not worth it.

Jewel

4 Frosted Mini Wheats & 3 Apple Jacks - used 1 $.70 blinkie, 3 $1/2 coupons from 3/7RP -- there are $1.50/2 IP coupons from http://www.redplum.com/ and http://www.coupons.com/ but I couldn't find them - of course I found them when I got home!

I used 3 -$10 RR's from Walgreens and my OOP was $27.47. I received $19.75 plus 3 free gallons of milk in cats!

Here are the cats I received:
Your bucks -
$.75 - creamer, $1 Pizza, $1 deodorant, $1 Splenda, $1 butter, $1 Sugar, $2 Cocoa & Fruity Pebbles
National Catalinas -
$1.50 for Philly cream cheese for buying 5+ and a $5 cat from the Kraft deal (spend $20, get $5) because the "sale" price of the cream cheese is $2.59 so 8x$2.59= $20.72 which puts me over the $20 but really I only spent $1.29 each Preferred Price so 8x$1.29=$10.32 less my $4 in coupons = $6.32 and I $6.50 back!! That's a deal!
$4 for buying 5 Post cereals
$1.50 for buying 2 McCormick food color or extract
3 cats for a FREE gallon of milk (up to $4.19), any brand, any flavor - for buying 7 Kellogg's cereals - so the cereal ended up costing me $12.20 but I got 7 boxes of cereal and 3 free gallons of milk for that!


CVS

3 - 12 pks Coke/Diet Coke - $10 - got $3 ecb's
3 M&M's - $6 - used $1/3 coupon from 3/7RP
3 Listerine - $1.99 each - used 3 $1 coupons from http://www.coupons.com/ & 1 $3/3 CVS store coupon from
http://print.coupons.com/couponweb/Offers.aspx?pid=14415&nid=10&zid=oj97 so FREE!
2 travel Visine - found these by the register not the travel sized section - $1.99 - used 2 $2 IP coupons (no longer available so hopefully you printed it when I told you about it back in March) so FREE!
1 Crest 3D - used $1 coupon from 2/21PG (expires 3/31!) and received $2 ecb's

So, my OOP was $18.88 and I received $5 in ecb's. Not bad for 3 12 pks and 3 M& M's.

All in all, it was a good shopping day! While going around Jewel, I realized that I need to figure out some more buy 10, get the 11th free and Kraft deals so I will post those tomorrow.

Happy Shopping!
