Shopping Trips

Ok, so I'm a bit behind on blogging. I've been so busy wrapping gifts, shopping and cleaning my house I haven't had time for much else.

On Sunday Kathy, Barry and Matt came down for a visit!! We had SO MUCH fun! Seriously, my kids were in heaven. Grandpa and Grandma Trowbridge = toys, candy, hugs, kisses and more toys! They are professional spoilers for sure!

I will post some pictures of their visit in a bit, but for now I will show you my shopping trips from last week. I don't think I will be doing any shopping this week since everyone down here seems to be a last minute shopper and the stores are NUTS!

Ok, first CVS



Trans #1
5 excedrin with $10 ECB after $20 spent
Total $26.65
-19.39 in coupons and ECB
= $7.26 OFP AND I got $10 RR back!
Saved $14.00!

Trans #2
2 HUggieS 260 count wipes
2 nutcracker treats as fillers
Total $14.52
- $14 in coupons and ECB
= $0.52 OFB for over 500 wipes! Awesome!
Saved $17.00!

And I would also like to mention that this trip put my savings at CVS this year over $2,000 dollars!! That is kind of nuts considering I started shopping there only this summer! I'm excited to see how much I can save next year!!

Ok now Walgreens!

Walgreens has pretty great stocking stuffers!



The Hershey chocolate boxes were on sale 2/$9 with $3 RR! And I had the $1/1 coupon! Two of the Hershey chocolates are our mail man and UPS man. They are always so nice to us. Even when the kids try to attack them from excitement of someone at the door (we don't get many visitors).

Trans #1
2 Hershey chocolates
2 pencils as fillers for the RR
-7 in RR and $2 in coupons
= $0.84 OFP with $3 RR back! So I actually made a profit of $2.16 for buying chocolate!
Saved $19.98!

Trans #2
2 Hershey Chocolate boxes
1 pencil as a filler
-$7 in coupons and RR
= $2.59 OFP with another $3 RR printed!
Saved $17.98!

Trans #3
LOTS of stocking stuffer candy!
- 6 in RR
= $10.44 OFP (I didn't realize those m&m candies were $2.99ea! Oh well, the kids will love them)
Saved $7.49

Then I went to Target twice last week



Trip #1
11 Airwicks (on sale for $2.99 ea until January!)used the $3/1 airwick coupon
10 hungry hippos travel size (2 of them were already in the clutches of my children)
These are $5 each in the stocking stuffer section of Target and you can use the $5/1 hungry hippos game coupon making them free!
Fun Soccer net and ball for Christmas
= $14.01 (I also got a bag of M&Ms that were already in the treat jar before I had time to take a pic)
Saved $92.98! Works for me!

Trip #2




20 boxes of Betty Crocker potatoes
These were a great deal! 13 of them were $0.99 ea 7 @ $0.89ea and I had a $1/2 coupon! Which made them $0.49-0.44 a piece! But I also had a $5 target gift card so I paid 4.91 for 20 boxes of potatoes! Awesome!
Saved $50.18!!
Oh, and the candles were free with the $3/1 coupon.

Well that's all I have for now!
