So the early bird may get the worm, but I have to remind myself that I am very much pregnant and on top of that, fighting a little cough/cold that started yesterday. I was wiped out after my morning trip! BUT I did get the last Loreal product. Had I not gotten it, it would have messed up my entire transaction/savings! Here's what I ended up with:
CVS-
Transaction #1
Loreal Revitalift Anti-Wrinkle (for a family member)
2 Huggies Wipes
Total = $9.02. Earned $11.99ECB
Transaction #2
Betty Crocker Mini Blender ($3.75!)
Huggies Mega Pack of Diapers
Cottonelle 12pk of TP
Total = $8.42. Used ECBs from above and earned $10 ECBs more. I'm hoping the blender will work for the days I want to quickly make up one batch of baby food!
Wags-
Transaction #1
2 Reach Toothbrushes
Total = $3.35. Earned $5RRs.
Transaction #2
1 Gallon of Whole Milk
Hamburger Buns
Total = $.68 (Used RRs from above.)
Target
Transaction #1
4 boxes of Cheerios
Total = $3.61. Earned $5 Target GC.
Transaction #2
2 Packages of Dog Treats
1 bag of cat food (Used free coupon - for my sister's cat)
1 Reveal 3-way light bulb
1 Star Wars Light-up Yo-yo (stocking stuffer for Nathan)
1 Dry Erase Board
3 pkgs of 5-tab dividers (for a coupon organizer I'm making)
1 2-pk of children's scissors
2 4-pks of Del Monte Chillers (GREAT snacks!)
17 pkgs of 5 1-subject notebooks! (for my nephew in HS)
1 Daily planner
Total = $10.49. (Used $5GC from above)
Grand Total = $35.57 and I still have $10ECBs to spend. Thankfully, these things come out of the Pet/Baby/Household budget. My receipts say I saved over $100! (I never go by that, though. I just base it off of, did I get a lot of what I needed for my money?) I'm also glad I was able to help my family out with some of these items!
I'm off to rest up. I definitely need it! I'm glad my "deal shopping" is done so I can spend the rest of the day and week getting over this cough!
How did you do?
I didn't do nearly as well as I could have. I'm down with the same cold. But I came home from last night's last minute WAGS run with:
ReplyDelete-the sunday early edition paper
-3 1 liter wags diet sodas
-1 20oz coke
-1 pack of oscar meyer hot dogs
-3 boxes of kraft mac & cheese
-1 colgate toothpaste
-1 12 oz softsoap
-2 ladyspeed stick
-1 jumbo of huggies
-2 100ct wags version of excedrin extra strength
Total oop was $13.48, and was done in 2 transactions. Not bad, especially with the Huggies!
Feel better soon! It's completely unfair to be pregnant AND have a cold. Total rip off!
Wow!! You got a lot for your money. And like you said, with Huggies, too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the irony is, I have 10 boxes of Robitussin DM in the closet and I can't use any of them! :) (You can only use Reg. Robitussin when pregnant) But I wouldn't take any anyway. I do my best to go med-free when pregnant.
Thanks for the get well wishes!
I did great, shopping at Meijer, Kroger, Target, Wags and CVS- had to restock after our power outage that was 77 hours straight, then back on for half a day, then out again for 6 hours, then back on!
ReplyDeleteHoly cow! WTG!!! I don't know how I got first on MSM. She had had stuff for Wags posted four hours prior to I check it. Then a few minutes later, CVS was up. Can you imagine my excitement (yes I know you can)? LOL
ReplyDeleteI got some of those good deals at Target this weekend to... our $1 bins had clearanced items for $0.25 and I got a bunch of stocking stuffers for Christmas...fun lotions and lip gloss...sticy pads..foam paints, toddler silverware... I also got a rolling backpack for my 3yo for Christmas...so he can have his own bag to go on trips...on clearance for $4.48!
ReplyDelete77 HOURS of power outage?! You poor thing! I am nuts after 7 minutes. I don't know how many times I try to turn on the TV or light switches. I sure hope the power stays on for you! I'm so sorry you lost your stock! Our fridge went out this summer and it was devastating!

ReplyDeleteLet me tell you, rolling backpacks make GREAT gifts! I made two for my friend's 2yr old twins when their sister was born. (They had to get gifts, too!) I threw in some colors and books and they loved them. Wheeled them all over! And those dollar bins..for $.25..I would have gone nuts! I love the stuff they have in those! Great value for $1!
Awesome shopping for you! I love to hear stuff like that! Thanks for sharing!!
