Today's purchase...

Transaction #1:
One colgate enamel strength...on sale for 2.99, which is producing a $3 RR
Three reach toothbrushes at $3 each, producing a $6 RR

The total for this was 11.99. I used a $1 Q for the toothpaste and a $3/3 Q for the reach products...This brought down my total to $7.99. I got back $9 in RR.

Transaction #2:
Listerine Smart Rinse and Agent Blue. $5.79 each.
Sara Lee bread (not pictured) $2.50
Bic Grip pens $1/2
M&M coconut 3/$2

Total was $17.08. I used a B1G1 free for the Listerine (which SHOULD HAVE taken off $5.79, but I think she accidentally keyed it in wrong and only took $5.05 off), I also used a $1 Q for the Bic pens, and the $9 RR.

If the math was done right, this SHOULD have cost $1.29 + tax, but I paid $2.03 + tax.

So my total should have been $29.07, but I ended up paying $10.02 + tax. So I saved 66%! Hooray!!!

...and I still have a $3 RR for next time =)

-------------------------------
Yesterday I went to CVS and here was my purchase (sorry no photo)

Transaction #1:
Herbal Essences shampoo $2.99, get 2.99 ECB

Transaction #2:
Milk $2.29, Get $1 ECB
Herbal Essences conditioner $2.99
CVS brand aspirin $1.99

Total should have been $7.27. I used $1 ECB from a prior milk ECB deal, $2.99 ECB from the prior transaction and $1.99 back for my free item that CVS was giving away this month. I paid $1.29 + tax out of pocket.

My total for both transactions should have been $10.26, but I paid $4.28 + tax for a 58% savings.

Korres Deal

Thanks to The Thrifty Mama, in this post, I found out about this great Korres Deal, sent out by e-mail to celebrate the launch of their USA website!

Here are the details:

Celebrate with 20% off your entire order using the code: PREVIEW

Wait...it gets even better. Free shipping and a free gift set with every purchase, valued at $30.00. Here's the problem. From what I read on the comments on post, there was a typo. It is supposed to state somewhere in there With a $25.00 purchase you would get the free gift. Some have reported to purchase an inexpensive item, like the lemon gum, get the discount + free shipping + still receive the free gift set.

Just to be safe, I purchased something over$25.00. I really needed to try a new facial regimen out, so I tried their Wild Rose Regimen Kit.



It is priced at $39.50, and after my 20% discount, I paid $31.60, got free shipping and will hopefully be getting my gift set.

The gift set includes:

1. Guava Body Butter
2. Wild Rose 24 hr moisturizer
3. Evening Primrose Eye Cream
4. Plus 3 free smaller sized samples

Can't wait to get it in the mail!

CVS $1.99 out of pocket (OOP)

Here was today's trip (sorry for the blurry camera phone pic)...all for the grand total of $1.99 cash. I had to quickly change my plan when I found out they didn't carry the binders at my local store.

If I were to purchase everything without coupons or extra care bucks, I would have paid, $46.66. Since I paid just $1.99, I saved a whopping $44.67!!!



Here's what I did. I had to split this into three transactions to make my extra care bucks (ECB's) "roll".

Transation #1:



(2) CVS filler paper $2.00 each
Chips Ahoy cookies $2.00
Total of $6.00 and used a $5.98 ECB I previously had, and paid just two cents!

Transaction #2:


There was a febreze deal a few weeks ago, where you purchase $10 of frebreze products, you get $5 ECB. Well the noticeables were out and I had a raincheck for $6.50. So here's how this deal worked out....

$2.99 for the batteries (I had a .75 manf coupon, and this produced a $1 ECB)
$.89 for the CVS pantyliners, get $.89 ECB
$6.50 for the noticeables (I had a $4.00 manf coupon, and this produced a $5 ECB)
(2) gold emblem nuts, priced at $.99 each (I had a $2.00 CVS coupon that I printed at a scanner located inside CVS)

After all the coupons, I "paid" with the $4.00 ECB from the previous transaction, and a $5.00 ECB I had. Total I had to pay was $1.00 even. I got back $5.00 ecb, $.89 ecb, and a $1.00 ECB.

Transaction #3:


This was on sale this week, buy 1, get 1 free. This was priced at $9.49. I had two $1.00 coupons. I paid with my ECBs from the previous transaction and paid $.99 cash.
