cvs this week!!!

The first trip I made to Cvs as pictured above, I got $214.56 for $34.04 out of pocket and got back $35.00 in Ecbs. The second trip I got $122.45 for $2.90 out of pocket and got back $16.99 in Ecbs. I am finally catching on and it so fun. My husband is in amazement over all the good deals I am getting. I got make-up in the second trip it was marked down 75% off plus I had a coupon. I got it for grandma because it looked like her skin color, so I called her today to tell her and she said she was out and she had been praying for God to help her find a good deal. It is amazing how God always supplies our needs if we trust in him. I had no idea she needed make-up and that was the only color marked down in that particular brand and kind of make-up. I hope you get encouraged by this post. For all of you coupon shoppers that live near an Ingles next week they are tripling their coupons up to $.50.

cvs this week!!!

~I got a $128.74 for $39.81 and I got back $17.00 ecb back
~I wish I had gotten the coupon for 15/100 but I only had 2 4/20 and 1 2/10 my store lets me stack these. I had a ton of coupons and $27.00 in ecbs.
~I am new at cvs so this is pretty good for only my second trip.

Frugal Friday!!!

Today has been a super day. I went to Kroger and got 2 gallons of organic milk for $2.99 each(reg $5.99) and Yo Baby yogurt for Haley for $1.29(reg $3.69). At Food Lion I got 8 bags of organic carrots for $.49 each (reg $2.69). We then went to k-mart and got 3 flower pots for $.70(regular $6.99 each) and one for $1.00(regular $9.99). So we got a lot of good deals. My honey is back home and we have had s good day together because he is rarely off.

Super Saturday!!

There is a lot going on today. Bryson's last soccer game is at 10 followed by his banquet at the local Mexican restraunt. Then Hannah has got a birthday party to go to followed by a practice at church for children's choir, because tomorrow is homecoming at our church. Plus my mom is coming down from South Carolina, I haven't seen her since August since my sister's wedding. She is moving down here in December, She really needs prayer because she is going through a nasty divorce. On top of all that the house is a wreck so I have got a busy weekend ahead. I went to Kroger last night and got $220 worth of groceries for $125. They over charged me for bacon bits so I got them free. I love Kroger because of their scan right promise and plus they double coupons up to $.50. Thursday I bought Bryson a pirate book for Christmas. It was suppose to be 11.24 and it rung up for 14.99 so I got it free. Always look at your receipt most groceries stores and I think even wal-mart has that promise. I always get something free when I go grocery shopping.
