No Coupons This Weekend

Remember, because of the Memorial Day holiday, there will be no coupons in this weekend's paper.

Hope you enjoy your holiday!

Walgreens - 5/26

I've never done Walgreen's before since I started couponing and for a first time with no advance planning, I think I did pretty good!

I am not sure what the totals were, but I saved $17.99 and spent approximately $12.00. However, that was good because my original trip was for the shaving cream and bump cream for after shave and that in itself was going to cost $8.00. So, I only spent an extra $4.00 and got approximately $20 more in merchandise.

The contact solution was 7.99 and get 7.99 RR, but I had a $2.00 coupon, so I profited $2.00 on that transaction. I used the $8 RR and paid for the shaving supplies I went to get. I bought the hair band for $2.99 and got $3.00 in RRs, which I used to buy the Icy Hot (1.99 and I had a $1 coupon), the 2 Noxema razors (B1G1 at 2.99 and I had a $2/1 coupon), and the 2 boxes of freezer pops. I was in the negative and since I had never been to Walgreen's before I did not know exactly how to work it, there was a line building up behind me, and the freezer pops were the closest thing I could grab. Wish I had had a few minutes to think and I would have been able to work it better.

I may have to start working Walgreen's just like CVS!

CVS - 5/25

Retail: $94.17 Out of pocket: 62 cents and earned $11 ECB

I got the cereal for $1.66 and used a $1/2 coupon.

The Old spice bath wash was $4.00 and I used a B1G1 free coupon. I also used a B1G1 coupon for the deodorant (Buy a bath wash and get a deodorant free). I earned $8 in ECBs for these three products.

I got the 2 bags of candy for 99 cents each and I used a $1 off 2 coupon from the CVS red machine.

The lipsticks are Loreal and were on sale for 75% off. I used a $1 coupon on each one of them and then I earned $3 ECBs for making a $10 purchase of Loreal products.

I bought the Revlon nail polish and used a $1/1 coupon and got the fingernail polish remover free.
