Quick CVS trip and Walmart

I would be really mad if I missed a good diaper deal and didn't get it, so I made a trip in.

Trans 1

2 packs of diapers @ $9/ea

- 2 $1.50 qs

paid with $15 ecb got back $4.

Trans 2

Sippy Cups $7.69

2 Liter 1.33

20 oz (not pictured) 1.49 - I can't believe this was more than the 2 liter. LOL

2 packs of diapers @ $9/ea
- 2 $1.50 qs

- $5/25

Paid with $20 in ECB and .55 on gift card, got back $4 ECB from diapers

I have to stress that just buying things from CVS that are on deals and not getting anything else you "want" or "need" is kind of pointless. The pop and sippy cups would have been a little less elsewhere, but I would have had to pay acutal cash, not in ECB, so still free :)

OOP Zero

Also, Walmart has these little glade candles for $2.97, we got coupons in the 8/2 paper

to get them free, I got 8 earlier in the week and got 5 more today :) They are cute!

OOP Zero

I'm in a funk!

I NEED A BREAK! I just don't want to coupon right now.... well, thats not entirely true. I don't want to grocery coupon. I do NOT want to set foot in a Randalls or Kroger until the new Kroger right by me opens. I don't know what my deal is! CVS and Walgreens aren't a big deal but it just seems that ever since DD broke her arm at a "Free" thing that ended up costing me around $150 I'm just a bit burned.

I will still post what I do buy and I'm still planning to stay within my $100/mo budget, but I just need a bit of a break!

CVS This Morning...

So I've been busy and not doing any deals since our Chick-fil-a incident. I'm not sure why but it turned me off of shopping for a bit... But this morning I went to CVS to take advantage of some deals..

Sorry, Ive been slacking

Well I guess not really because I haven't been doing any shopping, but we've been a bit busy. Friday we went to take part in Cow Appreication day at Chick-fil-a. Come dress up like a cow and get free food...
Well, so much for saving money with the free food. Peyton's (on the left) arm was broken while in the playground area. So really, the free food thus far has cost me a $100 ER copay, $25 I'm out for swim lessons and I am sure at least a few $40 co-pays for specialist visits. So yeah....fun stuff.


Moral of the story... watch your kids like a hawk.

Kroger Run....

Amanda and I ran to Kroger in Katy to get some items. I still have more coupons but don't enjoy doing more than 3 transactions! LOL

I had to break them up because of Kroger's limit of 3 identical coupons per transaction. This week is their Datona sale, buy 10 items from the list and get $3 taken off of your total.

First the items not included in the Datona deal

9 Boxes of Minute Maid Frozen Treats $1 used $.50 coupon doubled = Free

9 McCormick @ $1 used 9 $.50 coupons doubled = Free

12 Suave deod $1 used $.50 doubled (Amanda threw 3 in with one of her trans)

5 A1 Marinades @ $2 used 5 $2 coupons

Datona Deals

7 Kraft BBQ Sauce $.99 used $0.75 Q = $0.24

8 Purex $2.79 used $.35 q tripled = $1.79

2 Kroger Cheese @ $.99

ChefBoyArdee 9 @$0.92 used 3 $0.35/3 Qs tripled = $5.13

2 Boxes of Fruit Snacks $1.79 ea used $.50/2 and shortcuts.com q on my card but ONCE AGAIN the coupon wasn't taken off. Doesn't surprise me, they never work.

2 Bags of Cheetos $1.66

Total OOP $20.54. High, but I did expect that since I got 8 bottles of laundry detergent. Good to me!!

Total OOP for July $81.08. Wow, its only the 5th. I have a feeling I will go over this month... only a hunch though :) LOL We do have our garage sale in 2 weeks but I don't typically take that out of my budget, I just consider it extras. We shall see :)
