"Is it worth shopping at CVS and using ECBs?"

"Is it worth shopping at CVS and using ECBs?"
I get this question a lot. If you are interested in shopping at CVS, collecting ECBs (extra care bucks) and getting items for free...Yes, it is worth it! It took me about 2-3 months to accumulate a good amount of ECBs to roll each week. By "roll" I mean use the ECBs that I've already earned to buy more items that yield more ECBs when I purchase them. ECBs can be used exactly as cash. You can still use coupons on top of ECBs. I usually have anywhere between $20-$30 in ECBs. So, yes, I paid a fair amount out of pocket, but now, I rarely spend any. This is what I bought yesterday:

(2) Herbal Essence - on sale 2/$4.97 (earn $1 ecb wyb 2)
used: (2) $1/1 MQ (8/7 RP)
total: $2.97 (before ecbs...keep reading)

(1) Schick Hydro 3 blades (4 pk) - on sale for $8.49 (earn $5 ecb wyb 1)
used: (1) $2/1 MQ (8/7 SS)
total: $6.49 (before ecbs)

So $2.97 + $6.49 = $9.46
I paid with $9.69 in ECBs (but had to pay tax only).
So my grand total was $0.39!!!
And I walked out with $1 ecb from the shampoo and $5 ecb from the razors. 
Paid $0.39, earned $6.00!

FREE @ Walmart!

Check out what you can get at Walmart right now for FREE!


(4) Cascade complete capsules - $0.97 each
(This is the trial sized pack (3ct) and I found it on the aisle with all other dish soaps.)

total: + 0.03

(4) Tide travel packs - $0.97 each
(This is on the travel aisle.)

When I passed by the pharmacy, I saw a clearance rack filled with medications. They had things from kids Benadryl, dayquil and nyquil, and lots of other items. The dayquil that I bought does not expire until 2014 so I'm not sure when these items were clearanced. But they had dayquil 12 ct. for $2 and 20 ct. for $3. Not too bad of a price without using a Q!

I've been mailed a lot of coupons but nothing yet for a FREE item!!!

I've been so busy these last few days (the end of the school year is just crazy) that I've barely had time to even LOOK at the ads much less get Qs ready for my shopping trips. But I have $8.00 ECBs that expire tomorrow, so I checked out the CVS ad to see what I could do hit up CVS on our way to Chick-fil-a for school spirit night tonight. Here's how it went:

used: $8 ECBs

INSANE Publix trip!!!


So the Publix weekly sale ended today, and I wanted to grab some more Crystal Light before the sale was over. Many of the blogs that I follow also posts FREEBIE deals. The post opportunities to get Qs in the mail for FREE items. These are usually new items that a company want to get into the hands a lot of people right away to get more people to buy their product. In the last week, I've received an unusually high amount of these Qs. So the only items listed below that I actually paid OOP for are the Crystal Light and gas cards. This is crazy exciting!!! Here it goes:

(6) Crystal Light packs - bogo @ $2.99
use: (2) b2g1 MQ (4/3 SS)
use: (2) $1/3 TQ (print here) Not sure if this is still printing.
total: $0.99 for all 6 (or about $0.17 per pack)

Since I ran out of Target Qs but still had some MQs I decided to snag a few more for the price:

(6) Crystal Light packs: bogo @ $2.99
use: (2) b2g1 MQ (4/3 SS)
total: $2.99 for 6 packs (or about $0.50 per pack which is still a steal!)

total: + $5.00 MONEY MAKER!!!

(1) 12-pack Coke Zero - $4.00
used: 1 FREE 12 pack Q (earned from mycokerewards.com)
total: FREE!!!

(2) Suave Professionals Product - $2.99

I also used a $5/$25 Save-a-lot Q.

Grand total after coupons: $33.98

This would have been a great deal to get the $50 worth of gas for $34, but I got tons of other stuff too! I'm on a serious Q high!!!

Cvs trip: ALL FOR FREE!!!

I have about $25 in ECBs (Extra Care Bucks) and $13 of them were going to expire on Tuesday. So I got my list all ready last night and was ready to tackle CVS on the way home from church today. I keep a very detailed list: item, sale price, oop expense, ECBs earned. In order to be successful at CVS or Wags you have to be (very) ready when you enter the store. I also know exactly how much my bill will be (after Qs) and then how many ECBs should print out at the end of my transaction. I usually only get 1 or 2 things each week to keep my EBS rolling. But since I had so many that were about to expire, my list was unusually long this week. As I (along with my amazingly willing, patient, wonderful hubby) was walking around the store, I noticed that NONE of the sale items that are in the ad that started today were marked correctly. Usually the item will have a yellow hanging tag that states the sale price and the ECBs that you can earn, but NOTHING we were buying was marked. So we had to meticulously check the ad as we were shopping to make sure our checkout process would go smoothly. To make a long story short, only 1 thing rang up correctly. It all worked out fine, but if I had not be completely prepared, I would have left with nothing out of frustration! Below you will find the items I purchased along with where to find the Qs that I used. But I paid NOTHING oop (out of pocket)!!! I used all ECBs and a gift card that still has about $2 left on it. So everything was FREE!!!

(1) bag of Easter grass - $0.99 and earn $0.99 in ECBs
total: free after ECBs

(1) Easter egg coloring kit - $1.99 and earn $1.99 in ECBs
total: free after EBCs

(1) Green bag tag - $0.99 and earn $0.99 in ECBs
total: free after ECBs

(1) Schick Intuition razor - $8.99 and earn $4 in ECBs
use: $3/1 Intution razor (print from facebook)
total: $6.00

(8) Snickers eggs - $0.50 each
use: $1/2 Mars Easter item (3/20 RP or 4/10 RP)
total: free

(1) Edge shaving cream - $3.29 and earn $2.30 in ECBs
use: $0.55/1 Edge shave gel (3/20 SS)
total: $2.84

(2) Nivea women's body washes - $3.88
use: $3/1 Nivea body wash (4/17 RP)
total: $0.88 each


Retail price: $26.02
Actual total: $0.00 (used only ECBs)
ECBs earned today: $10.27

Freebie Friday!



Many of the blogs that I follow (which are posted on the right hand side of this page) post many freebies that you can sign up for. If you are going to sign up for freebies, make at least 1 "freebie email address." Every freebie that you sign up for WILL ask for an email address, but you don't want to be getting emails from EVERY site that you register for. So by creating an email address (I use gmail.) just for this, you won't be bombarded with emails from these companies. I never check these addresses either. You DO have to create one. Many sites will know if it's a legit acct or not. Getting freebies is great way to try out new products before you buy (and most freebies come with a Q for that item). They are also usually trial sized which are great to always have on hand for your gym bag, vacations, or items to donate (for causes such as boxes for troops, etc). So anyway, I seemed to get a lot free stuff this week. So signing up for free things really does work! Here's what I got:

(1) I <3 Pyrex potholders (which match my kitchen!)
(2) Victoria's Secret perfume sample (which I may want a bottle of for my b-day...I love it!)
(3) Hugo Boss colone samples (2x)
(4) Diet Sparkling Ocean Spray
(5) Degree deodorant (new: motion sensing)
(6) 10 ct. bag of Tide stain release
(7) 1 load size of liquid Tide
(8) Google Chrome finger sweat bands (lol...someone may be getting these in their stockings)
(9) Bounty paper towels
(10) Mr. Clean new Hawaiin Aloha scent
(The paper towels and Mr. Clean came from a teacher at my school who won a school-sized box of cleaning supplies! So cool! Thanks, Kerry! She just registered for a chance to win...and she won!)

Free Arby's Fries: TODAY ONLY!

Stop by Arby's today to snag a FREE order of curly fries. Make sure to print the coupon and take with you. Enjoy! Happy Tax Day!

Coupons can save $$$ on more than just groceries!



This past week my husband and I went out on a date. We went out to a sit down restaurant and then went and saw a movie. We used various coupons to help keep this date nice but SUPER CHEAP!!!
We ate at Chili's. We used a FREE QUESO Q (which you can print HERE if you sign up for their email list). Since we filled up on chips, we were able to split a meal. Our bill at Chili's was less than $10. NOTE: When we split a meal and use a Q, we tip really well. A few weeks ago on LIVING SOCIAL (a site where you can get major discounts on restaurants, tickets, etc.) they had a deal that you could purchase 2 movie tickets for only $9. My husband snagged this for us when he saw the deal. Then this past week, I found a IP for a FREE SMALL POPCORN at any Regal Cinema (It expires today.) So we both saw a movie AND got a FREE $6 SMALL POPCORN (that price is OUTRAGEOUS!!!!) So for less than $20, we went to dinner, saw a movie, and got popcorn! So remember, coupons can save you $$$ on more than just groceries!!!
