I made a quick run into CVS this morning after leaving Walgreens. I wanted to get the free after ECB’s items before the sale went off. These are only 3-day sales so I got there just in time! I only did one transaction because I did not have all of my coupons with me in the store. I also did not print my Dry Idea coupon to make my money there. I will get back in there sometime before the end of the week (hopefully).

(1) Irish Spring Hair and Body wash – 4.99
(1) Colgate Max White Toothpaste – 2.99
(1) Bactine (for daughters ears since having them pierced) – 5.99
(1) Doritos (daughters snack) – .99
Subtotal – 14.96
- .50 Irish Spring coupon
- 4.99 ecb
- 4.99 ecb
Subtotal – 4.48
Tax – .29
Total OOP – 4.77

I received back a $4.99 ECB and a $2.99 ECB. I lost $2 ECB’s and paid $4.77 cash out of pocket so all in all not bad. I had to purchase the Bactine because it has a pain reliever in it which is very soothing to my daughter’s ears when I am cleaning the piercing. It is also cheaper then the bottle at Claire’s boutique so I am a happy camper !

I finally was able to get out and get to the drug stores to do my deals this week. The last time I was able to get to CVS was on Feb. 26 and it has been much longer than that since I was able to get to Walgreen’s. It was nice to see all my “friends” again ! My Walgreens trip was an ordeal. First I tried to do the Dove deal and just as my luck goes it did not work so I had to get a refund on it I then tried to do the Reach deal and it did not work! I accidently picked up the wrong type of toothbrush so while the manager was at the register doing my refund I went and picked up the right one. Here is how everything went:

Transaction #1

(3) Reach Toothbrush – sale 3.00/ea – 9.00
(6) Act II Popcorn Balls – reg. 2/$1 – 3.00
(6) Peeps – reg. 3/$2 – 4.00
(2) Dove Bar Soap – sale 1.19/ea – 2.38
(6) Dove Trial Deo – reg. .99/ea – 5.94
Subtotal – 24.32
- .66 Act II Wags. Instant Value Coupon
- 1.66 Peeps Wags. Instant Value Coupon

- 4.50 – (3) 1.50/2 Dove Deo insert
- 3.00 – (3) 1.00/2 Act II Popcorn Balls from All You Magazine
- 3.00 – (1) 3.00/3 Reach Toothbrush or Floss insert
Subtotal after sale and coupon – 5.50
Tax – 1.49
Total OOP 6.99
With this transaction I was supposed to get back a $10 cat for the Dove and a $6 cat for the Reach but I only got back a $6 cat for the Reach.

Transaction #2 (refund)

(6) Dove Deo – 5.94

- 3.00 – $3/3 Reach Floss or Toothbrush
Subtotal – 6.00
Tax – .61

Here is the number breakdown:

Paid OOP – 13.60
Refund Total – 8.88
Cat’s Received – 12.00
Total – 7.28 PROFIT!

I will go back in some time before the end of the week and try the Dove deal again. I was told they will be getting a truck in tonight so hopefully they will get more of the soap. I will also be using the rest of my Act II Popcorn balls coupons to get those for free with a little overage! I plan to roll my cats onto FAR items so that will be another profit!

Netflix Delivers DVDs to your home. NO LATE FEES. Try for FREE!

With Spring break coming up and the summer months coming trying to keep the kids satisfied and your sanity in tact is always a battle. Finding FREE things to do is even harder. Netflix is offering a free 2 week trial. They will send DVD’s to your home and there are no late fees attached and delivery to and from your home is FREE! You do not have to pay postage for the movies to come to you and they send a SASE for you to send the movies back. If you decide to keep the membership it is only $4.99/month. You can cancel at any time during your free trial and you will not be charged anything. However, if you do cancel after you are charged you will NOT receive a partial or full refund. When I sign up for free trials I set up a reminder in my email account to email me a few days before my trial ends to ensure I can cancel before I am charged. I used to do the Blockbuster monthly deal but find this is just as good and much much cheaper! If there comes a time that I want a movie right now I simply find a free code online for the Red Box machine and run down to my local Red Box to get it. Netflix
