CVS and Kmart trip, round 1

I'll start off saying I didn't do as well as I would have liked to today on my trips but did pretty good still.
I started off at CVS and bought 2 Aveeno lotions for $6 each and 2 Aveeno night time lotions for $7 each. I also got a Crest toothpaste for $2.88. I had hoped to use a $10/3 and $2/1 Aveeno coupon but the $10/3 would not ring up for some reason. Thankfully I had 3 more Aveeno $2/1 coupons I was able to use. I used a $.75 off my crest toothpaste. I ended up spending $7.40 oop and making $12 in ECB's so ended up making money today--not as much as I had hoped to. Oh well.
Then it was on to Kmart. By the time I made it here Kaylin was getting crabby so I wasn't able to really use my time wisely. I ended up spending $46.32 oop but saved $45.06 with coupons and sale prices. Won't go over every thing I bought--just the good baby deals. Huggies and Pampers jumbo packs are on sale for $9.99 this week INCLUDING Huggies Overnights which I have NEVER seen on sale. This weeks paper (Chicago Tribune) had a $2/1 for the overnights so saved $4 on each pack. I scored some free Kotex pantyliners and free Quaker Rice Cakes. I had a $5/$50 purchase coupon from signing up for Kmart emails I used as well. I plan on making at least 2 or 3 more trips to Kmart this week to stock up on diapers. Huggies for $6.99 and Pampers for $7.99 is unheard of anymore.
I'm sure Casey will be thrilled at my stockpile of stuff. I thought about taking a picture of everything I got today but decided I didn't want to unpack stuff twice. Maybe next time.
Happy shopping this week!!

CVS week of 4/19

I've got a pretty good plan on making over $10 at CVS this week thanks to http://hip2save.blogspot.com and www.dealseekingmom.com . Check out these 2 blogs to see what kind of deals you can find. I'll post these when I post my Kmart deals Sunday or Monday.

K-Mart double coupons 4/19 to 4/25

So Kmart is having their double coupons deals again. And for once one of the Springfield stores (on Clearlake) is honoring this deal. I called the store today and spoke with the manager about the deal/stipulations. Here is the rundown. You can use manufactures coupons, both from newspapers/magazines/store AND internet printable coupons as well. They will double the price on the coupons up to $2/coupon. So a $2 off coupon becomes a $4 off coupon. You can only use 25 coupons/day. They have some good sale prices this coming week as well as every day prices. I am heading there tomorrow with a friend so I can use the most amount of coupons in the least amount of trips there. Check out http://hip2save.blogspot.com for the low down. Click on her link on the right side marked Kmart for the details and for a $5 off $50 purchase. I'll try to post tomorrow or Monday my deals that I score at Kmart this week. What a WONDERFUL way to stock up on stuff I need anyway for free or next to free.

Free Earthbound Farm Organic Tote

YEA! I tried to win one of these totes last week but wasn't one of the first 10,000 people. This week I was. Go here http://ebfarm.com/AboutUs/SustainYourselfSustainThePlanet/index.aspx to try to snatch one for yourself. Thanks moneysavingmom.com for the info.

Happy Easter

We had an absolutely amazing church service today. I had chills all over my body as I felt the spirit with us in the santuary. It was so awesome to see the church full of people celebrating the resurection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Thankfully Kaylin doesn't understand the Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, etc yet as we dropped the ball with the Firefighters egg hunt. Casey swore up and down it was yesterday but when we got to the Lake Club yesterday we found out it was the weekend before. Glad we didn't have a disappointed little girl. Next year we will have to be more prepared.
God Bless on this day of celebration!

CVSing

I did pretty good at CVS this week thanks to the sales, coupons, and ECB's I had. I did 2 transactions to minimize my OOP this week. My first transaction was for Skintimate shave gel. It's priced at $3.49, get $3.49 back in ECB's. I paid with $2.99 ECB's and paid $0.54 OOP and got the $3.49 in ECB's back. My next transaction was for Huggies and Johnson & Johnson baby stuff. I had planned on buying 4 mega pack of wipes @ $5 each and using 4 $0.75 coupons but unfortunately the store only had 2. I picked up the 2 and also a jumbo pack of diapers for $10 (no coupon though). I also got a J&J bubble bath/body wash for $3 and used a $1 coupon and picked up another baby shampoo for $3 and used a $1.50 coupon. I had a $5 off $25 coupon, and $10.49 in ECB's. I ended up paying 7 OOP for 2 wipes, 1 diapers, and 2 body products. And I got $10 back for the baby product purchase and $1.50 from my winter spending. Not a bad day.

Big girl

She's deep in thought about something important I think. Or annoyed the camera is out once again. Not sure which it is. I think she is mad at me for what I have done to her life...
