Egg-celent

CVS
  • 6 U by Kotex Pantiliners (16 - 22 ct) $0.99 each, used six $1 coupons (1/15 SS) and $1.50 SavingStar coupon (WYB 2) = $1.50 profit

Got back $0.50 EB for fall spending and $1 EB for using my green bag tag - those just about paid for the eggs!


As I plopped everything down on the counter, I couldn't help but laugh at my egg-themed purchases.  Funny how these things mesh together sometimes!

Free OJ

Stop & Shop


  • 4 Simply Orange Juices $1 each, used four $0.50 coupons (Diabetes & You magazine found at Walgreens, Spring 2012 edition) = FREE
  • 2 Arm & Hammer Dryer Sheets (40 ct) $1 each, used $1 off 2 coupon = $1 or $0.50 each

I love rebates like this where I can pick up things that I want, versus always looking for sale items.  The sour cream & onion Doritos are interesting, sort of like Cool Ranch Doritos.  The pizza ones are so-so, not sure I'd buy those again.

    UP2U if You Get UP2U

    Got an email from Staples with a coupon to get 25% back in Staples Rewards on almost any item in the store.  The fine print didn't say anything about rebate items and I figured it couldn't hurt, so I used it on this item.  It took off $0.01 and we'll see if anything happens.


    CVS - over three transactions, I picked up 12 cases of Coke for $2.50 each.  I got back a $10 CVS cash card for spending $30 on qualifying items, so $20 for 12 cases or $1.66 each.

    • 6 New York Garlic Bread/Knots $2 each, used $0.55 peelie and $0.50 coupons (1/15 SS) = $0.90 - $1 each *Just realized the ciabatta rolls were $3.99 but I'm almost positive they had a sales tag in the aisle  Grr

    • 2 PC Sour Creams $1.50 each
    • Total was $31.89
    Looking at my receipt, it looks like my $1 coupons doubled!  Is this normal?  I know they had doublers last week, but I didn't see anything about this ongoing for this week.
    We got about six inches of snow Friday night into Saturday.  The sun was out and it was so beautiful this morning that I couldn't resist taking some pictures.  But with wind blowing the balmy 20 degree temperature around, I didn't stay out very long.


    The view from inside the living room is just as pretty and a heck of a lot warmer.  :)
