CVS

I only had $1.99 in ECB from Black Friday, so I didn't have much "seed money".  :-)

I looked at Savings Lifestyle for my deals.

Dawn (9.5 – 10.3 oz), $0.88

$0.50/1 Dawn Hand Renewal Dish Liquid 11/28/2010 P&G Insert (exp 12/31/2010) and 10/31 P&G (exp 11/30/10
Final Price: $0.38 each

$0.97 Puffs Tissue

$0.25/1 Puffs 10/31/2010 P&G Insert (exp 11/30/2010)
Net Price $0.74 each

The retail would have been $12.54.  I paid $0.59 which is a 95% savings.  Not bad, but I didn't earn any Extra Care Bucks.  :-(

Walgreens

I had those $22 in Register Rewards from Black Friday, so I was eager to go to Walgreens.  I got my deals from Bargain Briana.

Now, on my first deal, Briana mentioned RR, but here we get 10X the points when you buy 2.

So, Quaker oatmeal 2/$5. 
$2/1 coupons that was printable a few weeks ago.  Use 2 coupons.)
Final Price: 2/$1 or $.50 each box!

Wrigley’s Eclipse Gum (12 pc) – 3/$2

Earn $1 “Jingle Cash”
Final Price after “Jingle Cash”: 3/$1

SalonPas Pain relief Patches (5 pk) – $5.99

Earn $5.99 “Jingle Cash”
Final Price after “Jingle Cash”: FREE


There were other deals she mentioned but I got points instead of RR for them which made them less attractive to me, so I didn't bite.

My retail total was $19.86.  I paid $0.24 which is a savings of 99%.  I earned $7 in RR which means I was paid $6.76.

My Black Friday

I usually don't do much in the way of Black Friday. 

The one thing I do get up for is the sale at the Plus Size Consignment Shop here in town.  The sale starts at 50% if you arrive between 6AM-7PM and drop a little each hour until noon.  They usually provide free breakfast for their customers.  I was devastated when I walked in and there was no breakfast even though it had been advertised!

Oh well, I still spent $32 which was at 50% savings.  So, retail there would have been $64 and who knows how much the clothes were originally.


I also hadn't made a Walgreens or CVS run in weeks.  I decided since I was going to be up anyway, I might as well make some runs there.  I also made sure to do my free collage print before I went, so I could pick it up during my shopping.

Since I'm "a little rusty", I'm not going to take the time to list all my deals.  I found most from Bargainbriana.com.

At Walgreens, my retail would have been $41.19 including my free 8x10 collage print.  I paid $22.41 which is a savings of 46%.  Not as good as usual except I received $22.24 back in Register Rewards.  That make a total savings of almost 146%!

I didn't get as much at CVS.  My retail was $9.66, but I paid $3.67 making a savings of 62%.  I received $1.99 back in ECB which made my total $1.68.  That means I ended up with a savings of 83%.

And so ends my Black Friday.

Walgreens Free Collage Print

Walgreens is offering a free collage print thru Saturday.  I've commented on how I use these to make scrapbooking very easy.

Go to Hershey's Make Moments Last. 

Here's the special directions if you don't have Hershey UPCs: "Click "enter UPC's." Sign in or sign up.  Click "Don't have UPC's" and it will automatically generate a code then press "next."  Pick the mug or the calender and it will send a email to your email address and give you the code and the directions."

You do have to pay $5 shipping, but that still makes a cheap gift!

2nd run to Walgreens this week.

I had $2.60 in Register Rewards that expired today, so I ran out last night for a few things (like more half-priced candy!)



On thing I did make sure to pick up was:
Ricola cough drops $.99
Use $.50 off from Walgreens coupon booklet
Use with $1 off 2 from 10/17 SS insert
Final Price: FREE


My retail was $11.64 and I paid $.77 which is a savings of 94%.  I didn't get any RR back from the deal, but 94% is still a firm "A". Right?  :-)
Becentsable also mentioned $1/.1 Reach toothbrush "If you have a Walgreens around make sure to hang on to this until next week because you will be able to pick up a free toothbrush."  BUT, sarahsleals.net mentioned that you can probably get them for that price at Dollar General and therefore free any time.

Crayola Rebate

With Christmas coming up, I thought this might be a great rebate to share which I found out about at savingslifestyle.com.  Receive up to $23 back on various Crayola products.  Offer valid through 12/31/2010 and must be postmarked by 1/15/2011.
Just go here

Walgreens on Monday

Sorry, it seems like I haven't been doing much, but I have, just haven't had a chance to share.

I had to make my day after Halloween runs for candy.  I stock up for my DD birthday coming up among other things.

I knew I wanted to go to Walgreens because I had some RR that were nearing expiring.

I bought the Zarbees Cough medicine for 5.99 and some half-priced candy.  My retail total $13.57.  I paid $0.87 which is a 94% savings.  I received $6 in RR which means they ended up paying me $5.13.

I still have a RR I need to use before it expires Friday, so I'm probably going to make another trip.
