Phew, I'm Exhausted!

I think I went a little overboard today - I'm sure you'll agree after reading all the stuff I bought. I got extra Charmin coupons yesterday from dancinmama (thanks again!) and couldn't wait to use them! Here's how it all went down:






CVS - 5, yes, 5 transactions - phew! Thank goodness for patient cashiers! This was cool - I went in the store with a $10 ECB, came out with a $10 ECB plus 5 packages of batteries, 5 candy bars and 20 Soy Joy bars. Here's how I did it:


Transaction 1: On DBF's card

• Duracell batteries $4.49 - $1 coupon (5/18 SS)
• 9 Soy Joy bars $9 ($1 each) - three B2G1F coupons (4/6 or 5/11 SS)
• 1 Reeses candy bar (needed filler b/c Duracell was only $4.49 - I had planned for it to be $5.29)
• Coupons used: $1 Duracell, 3 B2G1F Soy Joys, $10 ECB
• Total was $0.56 - I just realized cashier only rang 2 of my Soy Joy coupons, but the total was so low I'm not worried about it
• Earned $8 for Soy Joy (deal is that you earn $4 ECB for every 4 bars you buy - limit 5 deals - so 20 bars total)

Transaction 2: DBF's card

• 6 Soy Joys $6 - 2 B2G1F coupons
• 1 Duracell $4.49 - $1 coupon
• 2 candy bars (filler again)
• Coupons used: $1 Duracell, 2 Soy Joy coupons, $8 ECB from Tran. 1
• Total was $0.40 and got back $4 ECB for Soy Joy

Transaction 3: DBF's card

• 5 Soy Joys
• Coupons used: $1 off 4 Soy Joys (printed from soyjoy.com) and $4 ECB from Trans. 2
• Total was $0.00! Got back $8 ECB from Soy Joy

Transaction 4: DBF's card

• 2 Duracells
• 2 candy bars
• Coupons used: 2 $1 Duracell coupons and $8 ECB from Trans. 3
• Total was $0.68

Transaction 5: DBF's card

• 1 more Duracell - if I'd planned on these being $4.49 each, I could have incorporated this into another transaction instead of buying all that candy. Oh well, candy's yummy! :)
• Coupons used: $1 Duracell
• Total was $3.80 and got back $10 for spending $20 worth of Duracell

Phew - did you follow all that?!? I'm tired from just explaining it! :)

CVS - different store and on my card

• Charmin Basic tp $6.99 - $0.25 coupon
• 5 Soy Joys - $1 off 4 coupon
• Coupons used: $0.25 Charmin, $1 Soy Joy and $4 ECB
• Total was $6.74 and got back $4 ECB for Soy Joy and $10 for doing the Charmin deal. I got the manager's approval on Sunday to buy this tp because they didn't have the sale kind in stock. They gave me cash.

CVS - totally different store, my card again

I debated whether or not to do this. Since the manager at the other store gave me permission to buy another type of Charmin for the sale, my Extra Care card still showed I could do the Charmin deal. I figured if I bought the correct sale tp, it wouldn't be any different than if I got another CVS card and bought it, so I went ahead and did this again. Now I'm set on tp for ages!

• 4 Charmin Ultra 12 packs $5.99 each
• Coupons used: 4 $0.25 Charmin coupons, $8 ECB from Soy Joy and $10 from Charmin above
• Total was $4.96 and got back $10 ECB for Charmin

Walgreens

• Whiskas Lickin cat treats 4 for $5, bought 8
• Used 2 BOGO (4/27 SS) coupons and 2 $1.50 off 2 coupons (6/8 RP)
• Total was $5.02 - paid with WAG gift card

Sigh, I'm glad that's all over with! :)
