CVS coupon shopping - small haul

This week’s CVS deals were not the biggest bargains ever but I got good prices on things we need.
I started the week with $34 in CVS bucks from previous purchases.
I used some personal coupons from scanning my CVS card at the CVS red box coupon machine and price checker. 
The $3 Eucerin coupons were printed from coupons.com and I believe are still available.
The .25 Charmin coupons are from last Sunday’s paper.  

When I shop at CVS, I look for deals that give back ExtraCareBucks.  

Below are today’s purchases 

Before coupons it would of been about $63 ( very high I know, and that’s why I only shop at CVS sales with coupons)
After coupons it was $14 

I have $29 for the next sale and should also earn some Beauty Bucks that will show up in my account in a few days. M


I was especially happy to get more of this Eucerin skin calming cream.  
I have very dry itchy winter skin and this cream truly makes it all better.  I’ve only been using it a couple weeks but my legs and arms are soft and smooth now, never itchy anymore and in my opinion, my skin looks younger. 
I shared some with 2 grands that also have winter skin issues and they both like it.    Their mom says their skin is doing much better with this cream.

February recap

Hello,  thank you to all who left sweet welcome back comments.  
February went by in a blur.  That crazy cold I got in January continued to hang around for a good portion of the February.
Grandchildren were sick at different times with Flu A, strep, ear infections. 
My dad fell on an icy sidewalk and gave us all a very big scare but thankfully his injuries were not too bad. 
My wisdom teeth are gone and that was actually one of the easier medical things - afterward I had zero pain, bleeding and swelling.  I’m still amazed it was so easy.  

I have lots of crafts supplies, including a storage tub of plastic canvas yarn.  I pulled out a gallon bag of yarn scraps from that tub and started making coasters.  I loosely followed some online patterns and have really had fun making them,  it’s just a relaxing sewing with not too much concentration required.  I plan to make more as I still have so much yarn.  


Fabric sewing in February was mostly doll clothes.  
I made wrap skirts and t shirts for 3 American Girl type dolls.  
The 3 dollies also got nightgowns,  
I used free printable patterns found on Pinterest for all the clothes.  
For the 3 shirts,  I used 1 pair of girls white leggings bought on clearance for $1.  


And I made potholders with some 1970s looking fabric.  






Our bargain of the month was at a big grocery store in Oklahoma City called Crest.  
We like to have sausage and eggs for breakfast.  Good breakfast sausage is normally close to $4 a roll.  
This sale was so good,  we bought 30 rolls and they will stay in our upright freezer as we use them over the next 6 months or so.  

After a several month break,  I’ve started coupon shopping at CVS again.  I’ll post the new deals as I do them.  


This was at Andie’s birthday party last night. 
The restaurant serves chocolate piñatas and it was a very fun experience, especially for the 9 children attending.  






On the publishing app I’m using, I’m not sure the video is going to show up when I push publish.  If it doesn’t include,  I’ll try to figure out a plan B.  
The piñata was quite fun.  I was disappointed the chocolate part seemed to be a very low quality Chocolate.  My daughter likes to make fancy desserts and she is planning to make a version at home for a future party.  
But regardless of what I thought of that chocolate,  there was no dessert left after 9 children and 9 adults all ate.  So it tasted AOK to the rest of the guests. 

Hope you all have a good rest of your weekend 
❤️ 
And thank you for visiting today
