My Shaw's Trip (or how I grocery shop)

I still grocery shop like a normal person.
Every Sunday like I have my entire life, I wake up Sunday morning and go grocery shopping. The only difference is that now I collect my coupons first.
I still buy store brand bread, eggs, meat, chips (my dad goes through like 3 bags at work. I literally can't stock up on them), lunch meat, and sliced cheese. If I get a good deal on any of those products, it's good, but I'm going to buy them anyways, deal or not.

So here are my good deals I bought:
(2) Fresh Express Salad- $.99 with $10 purchase
- (2) $.55 off 1 (double to 1.10)= +$.10 moneymaker each

(4) Wise Chips (value shize= HUGE!!!)- BOGO $4.99
- (2) $.75 off 2 (double to $1.50) = $1.75 each

(4) Bumblebee Tuna- $.50 with $10 purchase
no coupons, just good deal

(4) Pineapple slices- $1 each and a $.50 catalina coupon if you buy 4?
-(2) $.50 off 2 coupon (double to $1)= $.50 each (.38 net cost with catalina)

(4) Dole Single serve frozen fruit- $2
-(4) $.75 off 1 coupon (double to $1.50)= $.50
I also have to go back and buy 3 more. Shaw's only allows 4 doubling coupons in one transaction. So I'll go back, buy 3 more and the deal will be something like this:
(7) Dole Frozen fruit cups
- (7) $.75 off 1 coupon (double to $1.50)= $.50 each or $3.50 total
- SAVINGSTAR coupon $5 off a $14 dole purchase (over multiple trips)= 2.50 moneymaker.
I love making money off deals.

My Eventual Trip to Walmart

I will eventually go to Walmart again. I like it. The only problem is that my Walmart is a wild jungle anytime after 5 and on weekends.

So I have to sneak in before work. Yay?

So this is my list. It may change. Maybe less, certainly not more:

(10) Gold Bond lotions (travel-like size)= $ .97 each
- (10) $1 off 1 coupons= $.03 MM

(10) Neutrogena Bars (this is the ??? one) = About $2.50
- (5) $5 off 2 coupons= Breaking even?

(4) EcoTools Bathing puff= $.87 ea
- (4) $1 off 1 coupons= $.13 MM ea

(4) L'Oreal Advanced Shampoo= $.97 each
- (2) $2 off 1 coupon= $1.03 MM ea
- (2) $1 off 1 coupon= $.03 MM ea

(2) Olay bars (this are a ?? too)= $.97 ea
- (1) $2 off 2 coupon= $.03 MM ea

(2) Bic 12 ct Razors= $2.68 ea
- (2) $3 off 1 coupons= $.32 MM ea

(6) Old El Paso Seasonings= $.78 ea
- (2) $.60 off 3 coupons= $.58 each

My Total Should Be... (drumroll!!!!!!!)

a 16 cent money maker. 

I should go back to the drawing board. Maybe pick up some more 20 cent seeds.

My Sunday

My poor dad gets dragged around town for my couponing love. So today we went to Shaw's and CVS. This is something we do every Saturday (but this is the 2nd CVS Sunday trip, but eventually it  will be normal).

My CVS Trip:
1 PAAS Egg Decorating Kit
1 2 liter of Diet Coke
1 Carmex Lotion
4 70-count Kleenex Tissues
2 packages of Scott Paper Towels
2 Packages of Scott Toilet Paper

My Coupons:
(1) $.25 off 1 Coke 2 liter (CVS Machine)
(1) $.50 off 3 Kleenex (2/10 SS (so mad I didn't get the $1/4, but I'm over it)
(2) $.75 off 1 Scott paper towels
(2) $.75 off 1 Scott toilet paper
(1) $1 off 1 Carmex Skin product
(1) $5 off a $30 purchase
I also used $7 in ECBs

My total: $21.14

ECBs I got back= $14.99
$1.99 for the PAAS egg kit (making them free)
$3 for the lotion (making it $.99)
and
$10 for the paper products

Net cost? $6.15. Sweet

I'll post about my Shaw's trip later.

CVS Challenge, Week 1+2

So I lied. I went to CVS last week too.

I bought a Thermacare thing and 4 things of M&Ms. It was a total of $5. 

This week I bought a 3d Whitestrips. It was supposed to be free, but of course my CVS is whack. $34-$10 CVS coupon- $7 coupon- $6.29 in CVS rewards (ECBs)= $11 and some change. And I’ll submit it for a $10 mail in rebate. I will not include that $10 in my CVS challenge, but will put it in my savings, and put it in my South Africa fund. 

I have $34 left on my card. NO ECBs.
