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.
