Quick update....

So, having your wisdom teeth removed SUCKS! Like more than I thought it would. Like I'm not going to eat soup again for the rest of the year!

I'm still tired and my teeth still hurt, but we are super busy and there are a TON of awesome sales this week, so I'm just trying to suck it up and get moving on with life.

I have a lot of trips/deals to share with ya, but I promised Dave I would take a nap today, so I'm just going to show you my CVS trip, ok? Ok.

Backing up a bit, I will totally admit that I revolved my wisdom teeth being removed around what pharmacy gift card coupons were available. So I choose to go with the Kmart $10 gift card with any new prescription. But, THEN I found out that CVS will match ANY competitors prescription ads! I'd much rather have money at CVS than Kmart.

So after my surgery I went into CVS with Dave to drop off my prescriptions/make sure they were going to honor the Kmart ads. It took a few hundred phone calls, but finally, the lady at the counter verified they would match the ad!

David used some of the gift card money to pay for my prescriptions (guess I forgot to mention the money was for ME to use), so that left me with around $16 bucks. Still not bad!

So lets break this shopping trip down




Trans #1

Mentos gum is on sale for $0.99ea! I had 20 $1/1 coupons making them FREE (I ordered 20 more for Ebay too! I LOVE free gum)
M&M's were 4/10 and 3RR back. Had 2 $1/2 coupons making them =$1.25ea!

HE hair conditioner $2.99 and 2RR back with a $.50 manu coupon = $.049!

Fiber One bars $3.99 with 3RR back and a $0.50 manu coupon = $0.49!

Total before all my coupons was over $20 bucks so I used the Spend $20 get $4RR coupon in the CVS Christmas catalog!

Total = $15.72

Saved $59.38!!
AND I got $9.00 RR back! So I made a PROFIT of $9 bucks for buying all that! Woo Hoo!

  1. Wow, quite a haul for feeling so badly after having your wisdom teeth out. I am pumped about CVS Black Friday! You'll do great starting with $5 in extra bucks. Oh, well, there is an ad coming out for the four days of the week prior to Thursday, too. Thanks for linking up your CVS shopping trip at Simply CVS.
