money monday {6.22}

I went to CVS and Walgreen's on my lunch hour...

Walgreen's
- 2 containers of Lysol Wipes = on sale for 2/$5 + $1RR + $1 off 2 coupon = paid $1.50 each
- Skintimate Shave Gel = regular price of $2.59 + Walgreen's coupon for $1.99 + Manufacturer $1 coupon = paid 99 cents
- Lady Speed Stick deoderant = sale price of $2.99 + $2RR = paid 99 cents

They have a good deal on Lysol Disinfectant Spray as well, but this store was out. I may try to hit another location this week, because I have a good coupon to pair with it. And Matt loves to spray some Lysol!! I also may take advantage of a toothpaste deal...

Summary:
Total @ Full Retail = $14.06
Total Store Savings = $3.48
Total Coupons = $2.60
Total RR earned = $3.00
Total savings = $9.08 (65%)
Total paid = $5.98 (used $2 RR from last week's purchase)

CVS
- Starbucks Coffee: $9.59 on sale for $6.99 + $1.50 coupon
- Reese's Cups: sale for 99 cents
- Revlon lip gloss: $7.99 marked 50%, but Revlon was BOGO, so it was free
- Revlon eye shadow: $6.49 + CVS coupon (from last purchase) for $3 off + manu coupon for $1
Paid $2.49 for lip gloss and eye shadow combined ($14.48 @ retail)
- Kashi Granola Bars (2 boxes): $4.59; advertised as 2/$6, but rang up at $2.35 each + $1.50 off 2 coupon

Summary:
Total @ Full Retail = $34.75
Store Savings = $15.58
Coupons = $7.00
Total Savings = $22.58 (65%)
Total Paid - $ 2.40 (used $10 ECB from last week)
*the only bad thing about this transaction was that i did not get any ECBs, so I'm out. Next purchase I'll have to start from scratch with some out-of-pocket expense.

Soy Joy bars are $1 each this week, with a $4 ECB when you buy four (making them free). There is also a printable coupon out there for $1 off/5 bars. So, supposedly if you buy 20 of them using 4 of those coupons, you will get five of the $4 ECBs (5 is the limit). You will actually make $4.00 plus have 20 soy bars to show for it. Some people that don't like them are getting them and donating. At the store I went to, they only had a handful left and they were all strawberry. I may check another store, but I doubt I'd like these, so I'm not going to kill myself to make $4.
