Shopping deals for today (6-2-2008)
By TheAngelForever | June 2, 2008
The last few weeks there have been only a few items that have been of interest at CVS. Thanks to that and other things going on I never was able to get there. Today I decided to try to get a few things and use some ECBs that were outdated (5/31). I knew I could use them, but some stores are not as good about this even though corporate tells them to allow use.
After NHL was dropped off at school, JSL and I went to the CVS near our house. Unfortunately, they did not have the June deal book available. I knew what the weekly specials were that I was interested in. I went to get those and then went up and down aisles looking for ECB signs for June. One that I found for bandaids was already out of stock (not shocked).
Still, I was able to find quite a few items that I wanted, but decided to pass on the Pampers for now. Even with the coupons and ECBs I think BJ’s may be slightly cheaper. I may do this later in the week though since we are starting to run low on things. I divided my items things into three transactions.
Transaction 1:
Total of transaction including sale prices – $15.47
Coupons used – $7.50
ECB used – $6.49
ECB earned – $7.98
Total out of pocket – 37 cents!
Transaction 2:
Total of transaction including sale price – $14.99
Coupons used – $5.00
ECB used – $7.48
ECB earned – None ($15/20 toward ECB)
Total out of pocket – $2.87
Transaction 3:
Total of transaction including sale price – $16.55
Coupons used – $8.29
ECB used – $7.98
ECB earned – $11.00
Total out of pocket – 74 cents!
Totals for all items:
Total of transactions including sale price - $46.96
Coupons used – $20.79
ECB used – $23.44
ECB earned – $17.49
Total out of pocket - $3.98
Not too shabby if you ask me!

Because so many people are interested in saving a few dollars these days I started a list of coupon sites at grocerycouponsplus.com .
I have saved money and the extra $10.00 I save a week can go to gas or whatever I need. I have listed coupons for savings of $1.00 on cleaning supplies and even milk! I know this can help out a more than just few people!
Thanks for your great info!
