New Job!

Starting my training today for the Census. Rather excited, but ugg I highly dislike the 6:30AM wake up!

Quick note:

I went to Kroger last night, and picked up some breakfast sandwiches from the freezer (cant think of brand...) and when I took them to the U-SCAN, they rang up $5.49, I know the tag said $5.11 - so after the grocery clerk went and checked it out - I got it for free!

I thought they had stopped their "scan right guarantee" - but I guess I was wrong!

The free breakfast sammies went well with my free Pizza from the KROGER march madness basketball game.

First trip to CVS

Yes, that's Bentley and a stuffed bear - we will get to that shortly :)

Only went to CVS for 1 thing, but it was on the way to Frenchtown mall for Muffin's transformers hat - so I figured I would try it out!

I was a bit skeptical about CVS, not knowing how their coupon policy worked. When we got there I was lost as I could be, not sure where anything is.... and there were all these little signs about having a card or getting 2$ for prescription bonuses and all that jazz.....

Anyways, we went for the Nivea chap stick - $2.99 and you receive some kinda store credit on your next purchase for $2.99 -MAKING IT FREE- (like I said I didn't know what I was getting into - never CVS-ed before). I didn't know if it was like walgreens where you get an instant store credit or like rite aid when you have to mail the silly thing in and wait and wait.....

I had coupons for buy one Nivea, get one free....

So, I signed up for their shopper's card.

I bought my two chapsticks first, then Muffin bought a second set (I had 2 coupons) - Along with the stuffed Valentine's Day bear you see in the pics with Bentley (90% off - totally worth 59cents!!!)

I then asked the lady how the reward/rebates work, and she had to check that my items did qualify (which they did *duhhh*)

She told me the rewards are put onto your shopper's card, like a pre-paid credit card of sorts.

She then went to make sure they were on my card, but since I just got the card she couldn't upload my credit - it needed to be registered in their system - so she handed me $6.00 CASH!!! That worked out way better than the store credit - especially since CVS is in Monroe!

*EXCELLENT!*

my order came to : $3.35 *with the b1g1 coupon*,

Muffins : $3.97 *with the b1g1 coupon*

*remember he got Bentley's toy*

we received $6.00 Cash. So we spent $1.32 :) Not too shabby!!!

.... yeah $1.32 on 4 chapsticks that are normally $2.99 a piece, and a stuffed bear that was originally $5.99!

I will be planning on going again, just wasn't blown away by their offers this week..... other than the chapstick!

Let's play a little catch up!

I went to Walgreens to do the Vicks 20$ get 10$RR! We already used 2 bottles since last month with these vicious colds Muffin and I had.

Here is what I got :

2 boxes of Puffs

2 bottles of Excedrin

3 bottles of Nyquil

2 boxes of ny/day quil

2 pops (we were thirsty haha)

*would have been $35.59 before coupons.*

Coupons Used:

4x $1.50 off nyquil

2x buy a Vicks product get a box of puffs free

2x free bottles of Excedrin

$5.00 RR from previous shopping trip (needed to be used- hence the whole trip!)

Subtotal : $14.63 + tax = $17.03

Received $10.00 RR for future purchase, so not bad for $7.03!

I made some wonderful peanut butter cookies recently, and used Reses hearts instead of the usual kisses. Man oh man were they WONDERFUL!
