SO OVERDUE

I have not stopped getting deals - I just seem to have trouble keeping up on the blogging. So here is one I did today.

BIG LESSON on this one - coupons are good for more than what they state!!

Went to CVS this morning - scanned my card when I first walked in and got several coupons. Only 2 that I will use, but you never know what you may get. 1 I used today the other I will go back for.

Today I got:
2 boxes of Nabisco wheat thins 2/$4
1 brach candy corn (this was the coupon I got when I scanned my card) $0.99
2 Dawn dish soaps $0.97 each
1 Colgate total toothpaste. $2.99

I paid $4.19 after taxes!!! AND I got $2.99 ECB, which is basically a $2.99 coupon for my next visit.

So, the brach candy corn was FREE because they had it on sale for .99 cents and when I scanned my card it printed of a coupon for .99 cents off.

The Dawn dish soaps were FREE because I had 2 $1 coupons for dawn. They were for the soothing essentials or something like that, but they worked for the regular dish soap.

Here's that lesson I was talking about - what I've learned is that OFTEN a coupon is good for several different items as long as they are in the same category. I did the same thing with the Wheat thins.

The Nabisco Wheat Thins were 2/$4. I had 2 $1 off coupons for the new wheat thin stixs, but the coupon worked for the regular wheat thins!

I also had a $1 off coupon for the Colgate and I earned $2.99 ECB for purchasing it - so I actually MADE $1

So if you have a coupon you want to use, but the store doesn't have that specific product or it isn't included in the sale, try it anyway!! As long as it is in the same category - it will probably work and if it doesn't just tell them you don't want the item then.

Finally, the other coupon I got when I scanned my card was $6 off any 2 Garnier skincare moisturizer or treatment.
I searched the internet and found more coupons. One I know will work for $2 off and another possible $2 off. But if the second $2 doesn't work I found a $1 that will.
These can be combined with the CVS coupon and my $2.99 ECB which will give me between $11.99 or $12.99 off 2 Garnier skin care.
Should bring them pretty darn close to FREE!!!
