CVS deals week of July 7

We stopped at CVS on the way to church this morning.  It might of been my best shopping trip there ever.

           

Bought- 2 jugs of Tide, I've tried the homemade detergent 3 different times and just never got the spot removal that I like and get with Tide 

1 Dawn, 12 pack of Charmin, 1 Softsoap shower soap and 2 bags KitKat Minis. 

Coupons used

25 cents on both Charmin and Dawn. 

2 $2.50 on KitKats

$1.50 on Tide

$5 off $30 purchase scanner coupon

$1.50 quarterly rewards coupon

$17 in ECBs from 2 weeks ago

To pay the balance of $10.27, I used a $25 CVS gift card that I just got from Mypoints.com.  

And I got back a $10 ECB to use on future deals.  

  

Precious at Frugal makes cents just posted about her CVS deals

She got great deals too and hers are different from mine. 

My must do's at CVS

find their weekly ad early so you can plan your trip.  I can usally see the ad preview in the forums at  SlickDeals.net at least a week early.

Get a CVS card and always scan it twice when you first get to CVS- it will print off a string of assorted CVS coupons and is where I got the $2 off soap, the $5 off $30 and the $1.50 off today.

Match up the sales with coupons and try to do the ones with ECBs on products that are useful to your home.   

Keep up with the ECBs you earn and roll them into another sale the next week or 2.

Front yard surprise and garden update

Surprise!  I found a squash or cucumber vine growing up a rose bush in the front yard, planted by a bird I am guessing. I will leave it growing and see what happens.

Our 2013 use what you have garden in the backyard is growing. It got a late start and I have only harvested a handful of radishes so far. The tomato and cucumber plants and the dill look hopeful. The herbs pretty much fizzled.

The morning glory seed that were so old, one packet was dated 2004, sprouted and are growing.  I've got a couple things in mind to rig up a trellis for them.

We will rejoice and be glad in it.

we are kind of feeling like a chair was kicked out from under us.

We found out Friday that husband's knee replacement will be having another revision done to it.  This makes  for the 9th knee surgery total and the 4th in 4 years.  He needs it done and we are thankful and hopeful his knee will be as right as can be after this surgery,  but it was not news were expecting and it is taking awhile to get used to it.
