Today's CVS Deal

I'm sure there are people out there that can get much better deals than me, but I am pretty happy with the deals I get ;-0

Here is the breakdown of how I got my deal:

2 Pantene Shampoo/ Conditioner- $6.97 (used a $3 off coupon)
Carmex Moisture Plus- $3.39 (used a .30 cent off coupon)
1 Pampers Cruisers - $9.00 (used $1.50 off coupon)
1 Pampers Cruiser - $9.00 (used $1.50 off coupon)
3 packs of Silly Bands (clearance to .75 cents each)- $2.25
#5 Birthday Candle- (clearance) - $.74

Total B4 any Coupons - $33.94 (tax included)

Total AFTER Manufacturer Coupons- $27.12 (tax included)

I also used the following CVS coupons that I had obtained on previous visits from the BIG RED coupon machine in the store (remember you can use a manufacturer coupon along w a cvs coupon):

$5 off of a $30 purchase (the $30 total comes before any and all coupons)
$3 off of a $15 or more baby purchase
$1 off of Pampers

FINAL TOTAL AFTER ALL COUPONS: $17.36 (tax included)


In addition there is a $2.99 mail in rebate for the Carmex product--so the actual total is: $14.78

I am addicted to Carmex!

I love DOWNY, but I also LOVE getting laundry soap coupons!

Hurry- before the offer goes away.

MyPublisher- Find Them On Facebook

Go to Facebook and search: MyPublisher (just like that)-- LIKE them- and then click on 'Free My Mini' on the left hand side.

Register your secondary email address (your extra non business email address) with them and you will receive coupon offers. They do not bombard you but they send you really good photo card deals.

I - unfortunately- missed out on the 'My Mini' book but was able to score an awesome coupon deal- 10 photo cards FREE and I got FREE shipping!

It may take a week until they send you a coupon deal but register on FB, get your FREE 'My Mini' (once you sign up you only have a few days to order), and wait for deals.

Online Shopping/ Free Shipping/ Coupon Codes

I love shopping online, but I HATE paying shipping costs. I will search in a million places before I pay shipping and sometimes I will delay my order or even cancel my order if I cannot find free shipping.

**Remember when you shop- go through www.shopathome.com and if you are new to shop at home- link here so I can get credit : http://www.shopathome.com/?IAFCG=q7CKc9sHmZ6NmKP6GgmtSw==

If the store I am shopping at is not offering free shipping I first google 'online coupon codes for (the store). Often times the following helpful websites will pull up: http://www.retailmenot.com and www.couponcabin.com. These sites will often times have available coupon codes for certain stores. Sometimes you will find free shipping codes but other times you may find a % off code that will take the place the free shipping code you were looking for.

If I cannot find a coupon code, I will turn to http://www.amazon.com/gp/prime?ie=UTF8&%2AVersion%2A=1&%2Aentries%2A=0 . It is $79/year, however there are ways to get a free trial or if you are a student, possibly receive it for free. Take a look.

Another source is www.ebay.com . You never know what you will find on EBAY and for how much.

The other day I was offered a free year at www.shoprunner.com . I have to say that I am glad it was free. As of now it looks like they do not have a huge store selection that you can shop through. They did have Toys R US, however.

Keep in mind, if you are shopping at www.walmart.com and I think www.target.com some of your surrounding stores will offer 'ship to store' for free! This is a good deal because it will save you time and you will be able to avoid strolling through the aisles.

I have noticed that most stores begin to offer more free shipping as the holidays near.

Watch The Cashier

A tid bit that is hard to follow when you have lots of kids (or even one kid) or the slightest distraction.

As you are at the register checking out- make sure to try your best to FOCUS on the cashier as she/he  scans your coupons.

Make sure that every coupon is scanned and if you think that a coupon was not scanned properly, speak up and ask.

Today I was at Target and had a 'feeling' that the cashier did not scan two of my coupons, but I did not speak up. Sure enough, when I got in the car I noticed that she had not scanned 2 $1 off coupons. It was not the end of the world and life goes on BUT it is money ;g

So pay attention and speak up.
