Deals and Steals, Week of 1/3/10
03 January 2010
Chloë and I ran to CVS at noon on Sunday to get the weekly deals that we could use. We saved lots of money and got all this for about $25 after coupons and Extra Care Bucks (no pictures because Rob put everything away before I could get the camera):
- (2) 64-oz bottles of V8 Splash juice
- 12-pack of 16.9-oz Aquafina water, since our filtration system needs repair
- 60-watt GE Energy Smart lightbulb
- Nivea Men's Body Wash
- (2) Nivea Lip Care tubes (mmm, feels good)
- (2) 12-packs of Coke
- (2) 12-packs of Caffeine-Free Diet Coke
- (2) boxes Post Trail Mix Crunch cereal
- Box Fruity Pebbles cereal
- Box Cocoa Pebbles cereal
- Bottle of Softsoap pump soap
Sweet deals! Now for the Walgreens shopping trip with Sophia, later in the afternoon:
I spent right about $40, after sales, coupons and Register Rewards, and I still came home with $8 in Register Rewards for next time in my pocket! This stuff represents WAY more than that - more than twice as much, I would venture to guess - at full retail price. Here's what I got:
- Sensodyne Pronamel "For Children" toothpaste
- (2) Reach Total Care toothbrushes, adult
- 60-count Viactiv Chews, chocolate
- (2) 25-count canisters of travel wipes (can ALWAYS use those in the car!)
- Huge chocolate chunk cookie, for Sophia
- Reese's PB Cups, for Jack and Chloë
- (2) Neosporin Nighttime Lip Care (definitely need that right now for the kids)
- Kellogg's Special K original cereal
- Kellogg's Special K Vanilla & Almonds cereal
- (8) cans Progresso Chicken Noodle soup
- Children's Tylenol Plus Cold
- Children's Tylenol Plus Flu
- Electrasol Finish tablets
- Visine eye drops
- Children's Robitussin
- Robitussin Nighttime Cough & Cold (Rob needs this NOW)
- (2) Neosporin Antibacterial Ointment tubes
Motorcycle helmet not included! ;) The best part of saving all this money is when I show and tell to Rob, and he says, "Thank you for being such a smart shopper!" and then he makes me up a nice first-aid kit with all the good things I'm able to buy for so cheap. Of course, I must say thanks to Deal Seeking Mom for helping me put all these deals together. So thanks, Tara!
