Another Great Shopping Week!

I was out several times this week, so I stopped at quite a few stores.

My first stop was at Wal-Mart. Here's what I got:2 Malt-O-Meal cereals @ $1.00 each Used 2 $1.50 coupons

4 Honey Bunches of Oats @ $2.00 each Used 4 $2.00 coupons

3 Zantac @ $4.23 each Used 3 $5.00 coupons

1 Scotch-Brite toilet scrubber @ $4.67 Used FREE coupon

1 Nivea shaving lotion clearanced to $1.00 Used $2.00 coupon
4 Huggies cleanteam wipes @ $1.64 Used 4 $3/2 coupons

Gift card for $100.00

Total: $96.00

Earned : $4.00

Next stop was CVS. I picked up 3 CVS brand pain relievers.
Used a $2/$10 CVS brand purchase

Total was $9.97 (Paid in ECB's and gift card)

Received $11.97 in ECB's

Earned: $2.00

Another day I went to Wal-Mart again. It wasn't so good that time because they wouldn't let me use my $1.50 Malt-o-Meal coupons or my $5 Zantac coupons. I had figured I would have about $4.00 in overage so I picked out a toy for my son, but I ended up having to pay for it. I got:

6 bags Malt-O-Meal @ 1.00 each Used 6 $1.00 coupons

1 baby toy @ 3.97

Total = $4.67

Lost: $4.67

Next was Walgreens. This didn't go so great either. The register did not ring up everything properly. I would have had close to $0.00 out of pocket and been eligible for over $10.00 in rebates, but I ended up paying about $7.00 out of pocket because of the register messing up. I didn't have time to go back in that day, but I will probably return the stuff that did not ring up correctly. Even if I don't return it I will still have made money after I get the rebates.

Earned: at least $3.00

Next, another CVS run. Here's the stuff I got:

(Plus 2 Covergirl TruBlend and 3 Essence of Beauty gift bags I forgot to put in the picture.)

Total : $39.49 (paid in ECB's and gift card)

Received back $27 in ECB's

Lost: $12.49

Then I went to Food Lion. Here's what I got:

2 Beechnut cereals on closeout for $1.04 Used 2 $1.00 coupons
2 packs onion rolls @ $2.49 each Used FREE bakery item up to $4.99
26 jars and packs of baby food
on closeout for $0.23 and $0.37 each. Used several coupons
1 pack Food Lion travel wipes @ $1.49 Used Food Lion coupon for $1.50 off FL wipes
1 package outlet covers @ 1.39 Used Food Lion coupon for $2.00 off accessories

Total: $5.39

Lastly, I took one final CVS run to finish out the baby deal and the Dove/beauty deal. Here's what I got:

Got back $47 in ECB's


Earned: $20.17
