a little behind!

Sorry for the lag in posting recently...I've been pretty busy with class.  I'm sure you're seeing it as an excuse, but I swear it's true!

9 exams for 1 class! 9! 

You all know I'm a couponer :) so I went to CVS last night because my cute husband asked for some Nivea products which just happened to be apart of a deal this week (GREAT timing honey!)

So I went in all ready, plan in hand! Picked up the two items I needed and went to check out.
I was thrilled to get one of my favorite cashiers (Michelle!). I handed over my coupons and then my expired ECB* (extra care bucks)

***my local CVS store was accepting expired ECBs with no limitations, NOT all CVS stores do this, you would need to speak to your local CVS manager to confirm***

And Michelle tells me that they will be changing their policy on the length of expiration. GAH! So she called the manager over and he agreed to let me use them up that night.

So you can only guess who looked like a crazed coupon lady at her local cvs...

Yup, this girl.

Thankfully I had my coupon binders (yes multiple) in my car and my smart phone with hip2save.com at the ready (Thanks Collin!)



So here's what I did:

3-750ml scope outlast ($4.79 each)
4-skippy peanut butter (on sale for $2.50 each)
3-suave body washes (on sale for $2 each)
3-right guard extreme deodorants ($4.69 each)
1-naturemade vitamelt (on for $6.99)
5- covergirl eye shadows (eye enhancers as they like to call them) ($3.99 each)
1-simple facial cleanser ($7.99)
1-simple cleansing facial wipes ($6.49)
2- 4oz Crest 3D white toothpaste (on sale for $2.99 each)
2-men's nivea post shave balm ($7.49 each)
1-box of kotex pads (on sale for $3.99)
2-almay lip glosses ($5.99 each)

I used multiple coupons (if you want the FULL breakdown with what q's etc leave a comment here)
and ended up using $67 worth of expired ECBs.

I had a little bit left on a CVS giftcard and ended up spending $4.91 for everything OOP (out of pocket for you coupon newbs)

I got earned back $39 ECBs, $1 in my savingstar account, $10 ECB from the beauty club, $0.50 from ibotta (my referral link and you'll earn a bonus $10!!) and a $14 movie ticket voucher for Catching fire!

Pretty stoked about this considering I was rushed and didn't end up using a couple CVS MCM coupons that I could've! And I got over $130 worth of stuff for under $5!

Got any questions?? Ask 'em! :)
