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:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

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!Lindsay G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10370196051328941425noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492892399863342962.post-17384450370219839542011-07-14T19:33:00.000-07:002011-07-14T19:34:49.166-07:00Current Publix Sale!We are headed to the beach for a few days and Publix has a lot of good deals on snacky beach food!

I also have started doing <a href="http://www.couponingtodisney.com/">Couponing To Disney's</a> 5 a Day. I email approximately 5 companies per day either telling them how much I love their product, how much I would love to try their product, or a problem I've had with their product. This is my first FREEBIE coupon that I've received from any company. I received 2 coupons from Jolly Time Popcorn for 2 completely FREE boxes of popcorn!!! I've been mailed a lot of coupons but nothing yet for a FREE item!!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

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:<br />
<br />
(4) Purex 50 oz. laundry soaps - $1.98 each<br />
use: $1/1 Purex laundry soap (50-100 oz) (5/1 RP)<br />
total: $0.98 per bottle<br />

use: $2/1 Revlon color product (5/8 SS) (the Q does beep, but it is correct and my cashier just manually typed it in)<br />
total: $9.98-$4.00 in Qs = $6.00 (but earned back $8 ECBs)<br />

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:<br />
<br />
(6) Crystal Light packs - bogo @ $2.99<br />
use: (2) b2g1 MQ (4/3 SS)<br />
use: (2) $1/3 TQ (<a href="http://coupons.target.com/mcp/pd.cfm?encp=MmID%2BSwAEOptCyg%2BodCdBaY8kIVkOOXdqe0oGJiEcABq2mDBnvh8Zn9FexE3xIjvZvUYC1RiPlFU%0D%0AyX5nlZLGTyTRClW2phXG%2BF8qGtAzaDs%2FOJAG8j9kqEJZuhyiLVNdDCIBcIlQUrahJCkurblxoS%2Fo%0D%0AbpDmF%2B6Gv2CUKdDqGOe5Uwau4R%2B0qV9rIg1xJT1u8mQBikUAXBSS8OEVhSb55YlIvpDCh39z#">print here</a>) Not sure if this is still printing.<br />
total: $0.99 for all 6 (or about $0.17 per pack)<br />
<br />
Since I ran out of Target Qs but still had some MQs I decided to snag a few more for the price:<br />
<br />
(6) Crystal Light packs: bogo @ $2.99<br />
use: (2) b2g1 MQ (4/3 SS)<br />
total: $2.99 for 6 packs (or about $0.50 per pack which is still a steal!)<br />
<br />
<br />
HERE COMES THE FREE STUFF!<br />
<br />

total: + $5.00 MONEY MAKER!!!<br />
*Remember, you can use a MQ and a competitor Q on the same item. So the MQ was for a totally free box. Then I could also use the Target Q, so I made $5 here!!!<br />
<br />

used: 1 FREE 12 pack Q (earned from mycokerewards.com)<br />

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

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!!!<br />

total: free after ECBs<br />

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:<br />
<br />
(1) I <3 Pyrex potholders (which match my kitchen!)<br />
(2) Victoria's Secret perfume sample (which I may want a bottle of for my b-day...I love it!)<br />
(3) Hugo Boss colone samples (2x)<br />
(4) Diet Sparkling Ocean Spray<br />
(5) Degree deodorant (new: motion sensing)<br />
(6) 10 ct. bag of Tide stain release<br />
(7) 1 load size of liquid Tide<br />
(8) Google Chrome finger sweat bands (lol...someone may be getting these in their stockings) <br />
(9) Bounty paper towels<br />
(10) Mr. Clean new Hawaiin Aloha scent<br />
(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!)Lindsay G.http://www.blogger.com/profile/10370196051328941425noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5492892399863342962.post-18072741828432218242011-04-15T06:37:00.000-07:002011-04-15T06:37:08.865-07:00Free Arby's Fries: TODAY ONLY!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ixx6tGz4oAA/S3u-bYhHfFI/AAAAAAAABLc/QpG-N8IsU_k/s400/Picture_1_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Ixx6tGz4oAA/S3u-bYhHfFI/AAAAAAAABLc/QpG-N8IsU_k/s400/Picture_1_2.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Stop by Arby's today to snag a <a href="http://www.facebook.com/arbys?sk=app_167329053320856">FREE order of curly fries.</a> Make sure to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/arbys?sk=app_167329053320856">print</a> the coupon and take with you.
