Happy Thanksgiving! CVS Trip Today!

I paid $27.75 for this and got a $10 gift card!

Ok, so while I did have a moment of trepidation over whether I should have gone to CVS this morning for their black Friday preview, I got the "OK" from Andy and decided to go!  I'm glad I did!  By the time I got there, there were only 2 of the Bayer Advanced left (I had enough coupons to get 14 for free).  Somehow, by the time I got to checkout there was only one in my cart..... Looks like someone went shopping through my cart, hmmmm?

Anyway, the total retail value for this was $197.43, so I was very happy with my purchase!!!  I originally wanted to use the $10 Am Ex gift card to get the Kids play castle, but was told that it would take an hour to activate and I had to get home to make green bean casserole!!  Anyway, I was very happy with my trip today.  Below is a summary of my purchases.  Keep in mind that I had to divide these into 11 different transactions to maximize my savings and that I started with $10.99 in Extra Bucks and a $7 gift card!  Even so, these deals are almost all free after extra bucks so an awesome "in" to the CVS game!

L.A. Looks styling gel 20 oz. $2.49 - $1 = $1.49 get $2.49 EB
Balance Bar single $1.69 get $1.69 EB
Listerine Pocket Packs $2.99 - $1 catalina ($.50 coupon also available) = $1.99, get $2.99
Finish Quantum 20 ct. $2.99 - $1 = $1.99, get $2.99 EB (Don't forget your try me free rebate!)

I haven't been able to finish this list because life just took over, but these deals were only available Thanksgiving and Black Friday anyway.  I will try to keep an updated list of the deals.  Until then, why don't you join a discussion board site such as afullcup.com or weusecoupons.com to stay up-to-date on the latest deals?
More of my favorite sources are thekrazycouponlady.com and couponkeri.com!

Harris Teeter triples 9/14-9/20 Results: Day 2

Just got back from my second day of SDs!! Aside from saving a bunch of money, today was a success because I successfully shopped with my 2 year old and 3 month old with NO meltdowns!!! My secret? M&Ms, portable DVD player with Strawberry Shortcake, a balloon from the store, and prepared bottle.

I got:
3 Kettle Chips - These rang up much higher than the BOGO price of $1.84... Will have to go to CS tomorrrow... *sigh*
Huggies wipes $2.99 - $.50 - $1 Saving Star = $.99
3 Tide trial size = Free
Kashi Pita Crisps $3.29 - $1.50 (DND 5 ) - $1 Saving Star = $.79
Duracell AAA batteries 4 pack $2.99 - $.75 - $.75 ZVR = $.74
4 Lipton tea = Free
3 Rhodes rolls = Free
Truvia $4.29 - $1 - $.75 Saving Star = $1.54
3 Carpet Fresh = Free
2 Carnation Evaporated Milk = $.45/2
Wholly Guacamole $2.79 - $1 IP = $.79
Green & Black dark chocolate $4.29 - $1.50 IP = $1.29

Total before q's: $70.87
Total after q's: $23.56

After checkout I realized that I had grabbed the 36 count Rhodes rolls instead of the 12 count, so they were $3.99 instead of free. Will probably return them. Also, the Kettle Chips rang up at full price instead of BOGO. Also, my last 2 q's did not double... All told they owe me about $9 without the Rhodes return... After the Rhodes return it should have been under $3! Ahhh well. I'm happy with my trip.

Harris Teeter triples 9/14-9/20 Results: Day 1


So, the first day of my SDs this week happened on Thursday... Starting a new job and having two kids just doesn't leave a lot of time for couponing, so this is all I have managed to do so far.  The total was about $50 before coupons, and after coupons I only spent $5!  Looking at the stuff I got, though, I was amazed that this stuff was worth $50... I mean, I am happy to not be spending retail any more, aren't you?!
