I don’t know about you, but I was really looking forward to shopping this week. Between the Moneymaking Swisse Vitamins and the fact that I had no coupons that should have created issues with the Walgreens register, I was rearing to go! And best of all? Everything went well! I was as shocked as anyone. That’s a rarity these days! Here’s what I did:
CVS
3 CVS Antacid Chews 12 ct $.99 each
1 Swisse Vitamins Liver Detox 60 ct $17.99 (Used $7 CVS printable (no longer available) AND $10 Swisse coupon)
2 Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste $2.99 each (Used 2 $.50 Crest ProHealth Toothpaste printables or $.50 from 9/29 P&G)
2 Snickers AND 2 Snickers Peanut Butter Squares 2/$2 (Used 2 FREE Snickers Peanut Butter Squared wyb Snickers Bar printables)
Also used $10 ECB from previous weeks
Paid $.94 plus tax, Got $4 ECB from Crest, $2.97 ECB from CVS Antacids and $5 ECB from Swisse
Final Price: $1.03 Moneymaker
Walgreens
2 Halls 2/$3 (Used $1/2 from 10/6 SS)
1 Irritable Bowel Syndrome Therapy Tablets 70 ct $7 (Used recent $1 printable (no longer available)
2 Lindt Chocolate Bars 2/$4 (Used 2 $2 Lindt coupons)
2 Patriot Candles 3 oz B1G1 for $1.99 (fillers so I could use my RR)
2 Snickers Peanut Butter Squares Bags 2/$5 (Used $1/2 from Wags Oct coupon booklet and 2 $1 Snickers Peanut Butter Squares coupons)
Used $3 in Register Rewards from previous weeks
Paid $8.99 plus tax, Got $7 RR from IBS Tablets
Final Price: $4.99
All in all, I paid $3.96 for both shops! I do have access to several computers, but I limited myself to only two free Lindt bars. My thought process was, how many chocolate bars do I really need to have in the house? Now I’m thinking that the answer should have been six. I’m going to have to go back for more later this week. It’s medically necessary. Or so I can pretend. 🙂
