All This for 11 Cents!?!?! Thank you Walgreens!

Wow! I had a very successful trip to Walgreens today! My total for my first transaction came up negative eight cents! (Because of overage from the combining of Jane online coupons and Walgreens EasySaver in store coupons) I had to quickly toss in a "filler" - a chapstick. I was amazed at this deal my self... With the "filler" my total was 11 cents! What a blessing! I was able to get all the items the nurse from the pediatrician's office told me to get for Jackson's cough. After only paying 11 cents I decided I should spend some money at Walgreens (!!!), so I used my remaining Jane coupons and used the overage from the mascaras to get a humidifier for Jackson's room (another item the nurse recommended). The humidifier retailed for $30, but with the Jane overage (from the ES mascara coupons) I only paid $18.17! Sweet! :) I'm getting pretty good at this! Thanks HotCouponWorld and MoneySavingMom! (P.S. On these two transactions I saved $159.91)

All This for 11 Cents!?! Awesome!


Proof! I love an 11 cent total!

The Jane deal helped me get overage to buy a humidifier for Jackson's room!

Homemade Bread!


I told Tony about this receipt... and he made the bread today... It was so good! I covered my slices with butter! So good!

Super Saving Saturday! Lots of Deals: CVS, Walgreens, Target and More!

CVS: On Monday I made my first trip to CVS, the nearest store is 23 miles away in Smithfield (VA). Sadly, they were out of the Maybelline Eyeshadows and the Excedrin!

Fruc Shampoo: $3.99 - $1 off coupon = $2.00, earned $3.99 EBCs
Dove Proage Body Wash: Clearance $2.65 -$1 off coupon = $1.65

Spent $7.67, received $5.99 in EBCs.


Walgreens:
I did much better at Walgreens than CVS! There were a few items in the clearance section!


Walgreens: I forget all the ins and outs! This one was tricky, and it's been 5 days since I pulled this deal! Here's what I can remember: one of the hair gels was on clearance for $1.24 and I had -$1 coupon = $0.24. The other gel was on clearance for $.99, I had a -$1.00 coupon, they marked it down to $0.99, so it was Free!!! The makeup was clearanced to $3.29, had a -$3.00 store coupon and a $1 off coupon, so overage/Free!

FAR(Free After Rebate): Frucuits shampoo, Clear Care, Speed Stick ($0.75 overage because I had a coupon!) and Softsoap ($1.00 overage because I had a coupon!).

Earned (once my rebates go through!): $2.05

Target: Softsoap on clearance for $1.77, - $1 off coupon= $0.77 cents
Head and Shoulders Conditioner on clearance for $3.81 -$3 off coupon = $0.81 cents!


Target also had just what I was looking for, for 50% off! Red King Sized shams! We received the matching sheets for a wedding gift back in 2005 and I've wanted these shams for years! :) They were $12.48 each!


LandsEnd.com : Beautiful Comforter cover on clearance for $39.99, used a gift card from my Mom= free for me :)
