Back into CVSing

I took a few months' break from shopping at CVS. I just got a little burned out with running everywhere for deals, and needed a break. Anyway, after checking my shampoo, soap, toothpaste stockpile, I found that I'm starting to run a little low. So, I'm back in the game.

Who's with me? Is there anyone out there who hasn't started shopping there yet? If you would like to start and have any questions, let me know. Or, if you already shop there, please share your deals!

Since I didn't take a picture of my stash from this week, I'll just outline what I found:

2 Palmolive Dish soaps
1 Tone Body Wash
1 Tone 2-pack bar soaps
1 Colgate Advanced whitening toothpaste
2 Snickers candy bars
1 6-pack boxed raisins
1 Revlon nail polish

Total after coupons and 2 Extra Care Bucks I got for taking a survey: $8.60
ECB's to use for next time: $7!

I'll let you know next week how I've used those $7, and hopefully cycled them into more ECB's.

My Grocery Deals last week

My first trip was to Kroger. I spent $46, and bought what's in the picture below. (My ballerina daughter insisted on posing with the groceries.)



There was a frozen foods buy 10 get $5 off deal (which is continuing this week, by the way). After coupons, the pizza, 2 ice creams, 5 veggie steamers, and 2 Texas Toast products cost me $11.50! I'll include the coupons that I used in the new Kroger deals post, as the deal is continuing this week.

The bumblebee tuna packet was free. They are normally priced at Kroger for .99, and there's a .50/1 coupon here which will double, and make it free!

I always check the "scratch and dent" cart to see if there's anything worth buying. Since it's generally the packaging and not the food that was harmed, I'm happy to buy it, pay less, and deal with a bent up box. (I don't usually buy the dented cans though- deep dents can cause puncturing of the can which will spoil the food.) This wee, I found the Kroger brand Rice Krispies for .99. The inside packaging was unharmed, and .99 for a box of cereal is a good price!

The Dole fruit in sugar-free gel was not on sale- it's priced at $2.19. I had a $1/1 coupon I found here and decided that $1.19 wasn't a bad price for snacks for the kids.

The apples were on sale for .99/lb, so I stocked up.

I also hit Winn Dixie for a few deals. As I spent $13.50 there, I did go over my grocery budget of $50/week, but justified it because I bought diapers, toilet paper and paper towels.

Anyway, here's what I found there:


The bread was BOGO at $2.99.
The sausage was $2.50, but I had a $1/1 coupon.
The bologna was $2.00 on sale
The peaches were .99/lb. Although we didn't need them, I couldn't resist.
The Smithfield sausage was $2.00 including my coupon.

Not GREAT deals, but not too bad.
