CVS Trip August 11th

There is a pretty good deal this week on diapers so I paired up the diaper deal with the Revlon make up deal to try to get cheap diapers. I also received a $5 off $25 coupon for taking a pharmacy quiz. While I was at CVS I found some free/cheap things on clearance. Transaction 2 Snickers Candy Bars (Reg. $.89, Sale $.50 - $1/2Q = FREE) Huggies Supreme diapers (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9 - $2Q = $7, Earn $4 ECB when you buy 2) Huggies Pull-ups (Reg. $11.99, Sale $9 - $2Q = $7, Earn $4 ECB when you buy 2) 3 Arm & Hammer Baking Soda (Reg. $.99, Clearance $.09) 3 Betty Crocker Warm Delights (Reg. $2.19, Clearance $.21 - .50Q = 3/$.13) 2 Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes Gold (Reg. $5.29, Clearance $.52 - $1/2Q = $.02 each) 1 Pez Dispenser (Reg. $1.50, Sale $.25) 1 Revlon Foundation (Reg. $13.99, Sale $9.99 - $1Q = $8.99, Earn $9.99 ECB) 1 Torpedo Ball (Reg. $6.99, Clearance $.41) 2 Post Shredded Wheat (Reg. $4.79, Clearance $.48 - $1/2Q = .02 MM each) I used $6.84 ECB and paid $14.07 OOP. I earned back $9.99 ECB for the make-up and $4 for the diaper deal. So basically I got all this for $6.92 plus I will submit for the Caregivers Marketplace rebate which will make this trip cost $5.42.

CVS Trip July 12th

I love clearance! I walked into my CVS today and found the 4th of July items on 90% clearance. These will be fun to get out next year. I started out my trip with $4.96 in ECB's. I spent $3.51 OOP and ended up with $4.95 in ECB's.

Yard Sale July 11th

Growing up my mom and I would go to yard sales every weekend. It was always fun to see what kind of cool things we could find for super cheap. I have recently started taking an hour out of my Saturday to hit up a few yard sales. It is funny the things I find that I didn't even know I was looking for. I spent $5.10 on this stuff. My 3 year old loves it when I get home because I always bring him something fun to play with.
