CVS 6/20

This weekend at CVS was decent. There was not too much that I was interested in and I have $37 in ECB's ready to roll but I didn't want to use them just to use them.

I snagged a box of diapers at $19.99 I used a CVS coupon for $2.00 off as well as a printable coupon from coupons.com for $3 off. I earned $10 ECBs

I also grabbed 2 Mitchum Deoderants one mans and one womans. They were on sale for $2.99 and I had 2 $.75 off coupons for them. I earned $2 in ECB's

They had Colgate Total on sale for $2.99 and I had a $.75 coupon for that as well and I earned $2 in ECB's.

Lastly I really needed a bottle of Tylenol but there was none to be found (recall?) That was OK because they had CVS Acetaminophen on sale for $3.99 and I earned 3 ECB's.

So it wasn't a horrible trip, just not as good as a some of the past ones. Here is the breakdown:

Regular Price: $40.85

Sale Price: $32.95

Coupons used $8.00

Ecbs used $16.00

Out of pocket cost $11.01

Money saved $29.84

% saved 73%

Ecb's earned $17 bringing my total of Ecb's to spend $38

My weekend shopping trips!!

So I haven't been blogging for awhile. It's not because I haven't been saving, it's just life. So much has been going on with a new baby on the way that I haven't had the chance to keep up. Once again I will try!!
This past weekend went really well and I think it was because I know that the baby is near arrival and I won't be able to deal search for awhile!
The next couple posts show you how I saved at CVS, Walgreens, and Target.
Happy Shopping!!

My canning journey.

I have recently decided to try the art of canning and preserving fruits and vegetables. So far I feel I have done a decent job. I have done Strawberry Jam, Raspberry Jam, Salsa, Applesauce, and Cinnamon Applesauce.

I hope to do carrots this year and next year branch out to do more things. In time I hope It will help me save even more money. Well lets not talk about the applesauce! Story for another post.

Anyways the shelves you see with the fruits of my labor were created this weekend by my husband. I had extra closet space that I was going to buy shelves for and instead he offered to make them for me for half the cost!

I love them and I have just enough room to store all of my accessories as well as all of my filled jars!
