Burnout

Crazy coupon burnout.

Or I don't want to cut out coupons. Either one. I really need an army of children. Not my children (I don't have any and will never have any), but other people's kids. Anyone want to volunteer their free labor?

Guess not.

Here's my CVS list. Don't really have anything good for Shaw's. Sorry guys..

Ibotta

I don't really use Ibotta.

I don't really understand it, and until recently, my smartphone hated it (yay new battery!). But today, after I went to CVS, I noticed that I could get 75 cents for the Schick Hydro razor I bought.

While it doesn't work at my grocery store, I think it's great for my new weekly trips to CVS!

Try it out. 75 cents is 75 cents you didn't have before!

Ugh, regional coupons

Every wake up after spending a week (or 2) on a shopping list to NOT get the right coupons?

That was my morning. I didn't get the Jergens coupon (that I really wanted) or the Hawaiian Tropic coupon (eh, I'm ok with that). So I re-did my list to be way better. But then I went to the store, where prices were a bit higher than expected, but here's my final list!

It's pretty exciting. I got $12 more back than I spent.

CVS deal breakdown

As you've seen, my CVS list is pretty short next week. I've added a couple coupons, so my OOP will be a little less. YAY!!

Crest Deal:

Combine this deal with the $1 off 1 coupon in the April P&G and you get free toothpaste!!

Sunscreen deal:

This is pretty sweet. This is how I'm going to play it. However the Schick products are also a good deal. 

Buy: (2) Hawaiian Tropic Sunscreens ($8.99 each) 

(1) Playtex Sport tampons ($5.29 online)

Use: (2) Hawaiian Tropic $1 off 1 coupons from the upcoming SmartSource

(1) Playtex Sport $1 off 1 coupons found on the Playtex website.
Pay: $21.27 OOP
Get: $10 back in ECBS

It's like paying $3.75 each!

Jergens Deal

I'm going to play this:

Buy: (2) Jergens Natural Glow ($8.99)

Use: (1) $3 off 2 Natural Glow coupon found in the upcoming SmartSource

(1) $2 off any $8 lotion purchase  (I found this in my online CVS account. Must be CVS Machine)

Pay: $12.98 

Get: $5 back in ECBs

It's like paying $3.99 each

Almay Deal:

There are many different things you can buy, I'm going to go with this:

Buy: (2) Almay Eraser Sticks (Online price: $5.49)

Use: (2) $4 off 1 coupons (found in 4/14 SmartSource)

(1) $2 off $5 cosmetic purchase (CVS machine)

Pay: $0.98 

Get: $4 back in ECBs. 

It's a $3 moneymaker!!!

Other notes: 

I have $12 in ECBs from last week

I have $5 in ECBS from beauty club

I also have a $5 off a $30 purchase. 

Under this plan, I will pay $5.24 and get back $21. Maybe an extra $5 for beauty club. 

CVS 4/21-4/27

This is my list for CVS on Sunday.
I'll break it down later.

Is it Spring?

It's April, and I'm already wishing it's Christmas. But I have so many ideas for homemade presents.

Maybe I could make them now and hide them until Christmas?

It's a sad week.

It's a sad week this week.
No good deals at Shaw's or CVS.

Have a good one.
