in CVS, My Shopping Trip, Target

Will submit for FREE Olay Quench Lotion Rebate
Final after mail-in rebate: $1.13 moneymaker!!
CVS
I first have to say how great CVS is!  They were all out of the Colgate Total and Hershey’s candy for the sale.  I was told to pick a similar item, and I would receive the advertised price plus ECB’s.  I picked another Colgate Total that I could use my $1 off coupon with (expires today) and grabbed 6 bags of candy that fit my $2/3 Hershey coupon.  I was told you could substitute regular M&M’s for the Easter M&M’s that were sold out as well.
See the matchups HERE
Used 2 $4 ECB’s from a couple weeks ago.
Final OOP: $5.30
Amount Saved: $25.92
($18.92 CVS savings/ECB’s, $7 coupons)
Have $4 ECB and $2 ECB for next week
Note: I wouldn’t normally spend my ECB’s to get less ECB’s back, but I really needed the candy for the kids Easter egg hunts at school.
Target-No picture
2 Battleship Games

I picked up 2 Battleship games at Target today @ $9 each
Used $3/1 Target printable HERE
Used $4/1 printable HERE
Final: $2 each

I wanted the Connect 4 and Monopoly games too but they were sold out.  I know, shop before Saturday! I was able to get a raincheck for the Connect 4, so I’ll pick that up next week.

Final OOP: $4.60
Total Saved: $25.98
($11.98 Target savings, $14 coupon savings)

*”Monkeyboy” will get the $2 Battleship game and “LuLu” will get the $3 Connect 4 game in their Easter baskets!  Will have an extra of each to save as gifts.

Walgreen’s and Target-Quick Trips 03/09/10

by Dana Zeliff on March 9, 20102010-03-09
in My Shopping Trip, Target

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

The items on the left are from Target.  This would have been a FREE trip but “Monkeyboy” needed poster board for school.  I needed a “filler” anyways because they didn’t adjust down the coupons.
2 Crest Kids $1.49 each (price cut):
Use 2 $0.50/1 Oral-B or Crest Kids Toothpaste from 02/07 RP insert
PLUS
Use 2 $1/1 Target printable HERE
Final: $0.02 overage
2 Reach Floss $0.97 each:
Use 2 $1/1 Reach Floss from 10/18 RP insert
Final: $0.06 overage
Walgreen’s
The items on the right are from Walgreen’s.  See the coupons used HERE. 
I bought 4 “fillers” of $0.29 each candy for Easter to cover the overage but Opps, I was $0.10 off.
My total OOP was $1.42 which I’m happy with anyways. 
Watch which Reach toothbrushes you purchase!  If your plan is, like me, to use 2 $1/1 and 1 BOGO plus the in-ad coupon you need to be careful of the toothbrushes you buy.  Mixed together are BOGO packs and single packs. 
The BOGO coupon states that it’s on any SINGLE toothbrush.  I bought 1 BOGO pack and 2 singles.  I was only able to use 1 $1/1 plus the BOGO and in-ad coupons because the cashier rang up my in-ad coupon first even though it was on the bottom of the stack.  Even with my fillers my total before tax was only $0.90 so she couldn’t accept the other $1/1 coupon. The toothbrushes and cereal were still FREE though.
