Walgreens

I hardly ever go to Walgreens as I'm sure you might have noticed by my lack of visits but I did stop by there today because of the awesome BOGO sale on nearly every vitamin brand they carry! Now here is a little lesson or tip. Always grab an ad and have it with you at checkout. Here is what happened to me - I found the B12 vitamins on clearance for only $5.99 each!! That was already 50% off and I had coupons to boot! But because they are marked as clearance they were not ringing up as part of the BOGO sale advertised. I was so not cool with this. I had the ad in hand and nowhere does it have any exclusions or restrictions. So I politely asked the cashier if he could please request a manager. Once the manager came over we told him the computer issue and explained that there was no restrictions via the ad in my hand. So he allowed the price override. It's a tiny win but I'll take it!!


2 - Sundown Vitamin D 200 ct $5.29 (BOGO Free) - [$3 off 2 coupon] = $2.29 or $1.15 each!
4 - Nature's Bounty B-12 60 ct. $5.99 (BOGO Free) + $5.99 (BOGO Free) = $11.98 - 4[$2 coupons] = $3.98 or $.99 each!!

Total retail price $58.50 plus tax.
Total price paid $6.27 plus tax!!
Savings of 89%!!!

Target

At Target this week there was a few super good deals that I chose to take advantage of. I chose to stock up on some after sun lotion and get some cheap hair care! Amongst other things of course...
I chose to split two transactions but I kept it super simple so I won't break it down in the price list. I simply paid for the Banana Boat lotion first and then rolled that $5 gift card into everything else to enjoy the savings instantly!

CVS

I started off this new coupon week with a trip to CVS first thing Sunday morning! I don't know if I have mentioned this previously but I am up again an army of couponing military spouses and if I don't get there early... I don't get the deals! It's kind of funny to see really - the drugstore is full of women pushing carts with their handy-dandy coupon binders and boxes in tow. Cracks my up a little and I can only imagine what the store employees think! Anyways, back to the deals!
I was psyched up for this week since there was a good handful of ExtraCare Buck deals and I still had $10 in ECB's leftover from last week and had received an email containing a coupon for $5 off a purchase of $25 or more last Thursday! I was able to snag deals everywhere from nail polish to chocolate bars and face wash to mouthwash! I split into two transactions so I'll break it down that way so you can better understand how I saved! First thing I did was hit up the magic coupon machine. When I scanned my card out popped a string of coupons and I was able to use two of them on my visit that day! Saved an extra $3 I wasn't expecting which was awesome!


Transaction #1
2 - Colgate Mouthwash 1 Liter $5.99 x 2 = $11.98 - 2[$2 coupons][$2 off $8 store coupon] = $5.98 or $2.99 each!
***Received $6 in ECB with purchase of 2 Colgate Mouthwashes***
2 - St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub BOGO50  $4.29 + $2.14 (50% off) = $6.43 - 2[$1 coupons][$1 facial store coupon] = $3.43 or $1.71 each!
***Received $3 in ECB with purchase of 2 St. Ives***
4 - Sally Hansen Nail Color $3.19 x 4 = $12.76 - 4[$1 coupons] = $8.76 or $2.19 each!
***Received $5 in ECB with purchase of $12 worth of Sally Hansen Products***

Total retail was $36.92 plus tax.
Total after coupons $18.17 plus tax!
Used $5/$25 email coupon and $10 in ECB's from last week and paid $3.17 plus tax!!
Savings of 91%!!

Transaction #2

***Received $1 in ECB with purchase of 2 Dove Bars***
4 - Wet & Wild Nail Color BOGO50 $1.99 + $.99 + $1.99 + $.99 = $5.96 - 4[$1 coupons] = $1.96 or $.49 each!
2 - BIC Soleil Razors BOGO50 $7.49 + $3.74 = $11.23 - 2[$3 coupons] = $5.23 or $2.61 each!

Used $9 in ECB's from transaction #1 and paid $.19 plus tax!!!
Savings of just over 99%!!!

And I still have $6 in ECB's to carryover to next week!
