But this week's ad interested me and I had $10 Extra Care bucks to use.
Instead of writing out the sales I want to do, I started clipping out the ad sections I like and use a smear of glue stick to mount them on a sheet of paper. I also paper clip the coupons for the deals, any ECBs and my CVS card to this list.
The key to getting good deals is be organized.
Below is what I bought - I actually bought everything I planned too.
Colgate toothpaste was free after the redbox $2 coupon and $1 coupon in today's paper.
The beverages are 2/$2 and give a $2 ECB. My husband drank part of the Gatorade on the way home from church.
Any Tums are part of the Zantac deal- buy any 2 and get $5 ECB. Each roll was $1.49 and I got back a total of $10 ECB. So on these, I got back more than I paid.
The Excedrin are spend $20, get back $10. Excedrin works for me when I get a headache and with the coupons in today's paper, I really liked this deal.
I spent a total of $15.24 in cash and got back $22 in ECBs.
Nice work Rhonda! I hope all is well with you there. Come and share your bargains at Five Star Frugal if you can. We would love to have you! Love, Mimi xxx
ReplyDeleteNow that is frugal! I really need to work on my skills.. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, you're one smart shopper! Bravo!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job! I miss the days of browsing for deals and having the change to 'invest' in them. :) It's ok, I know I'll have another chance. Oh and maybe this is helpful for when we miss a deal...wait around for the next year and make sure the money is set aside. :) just a thought.
