I am super excited that yogurt is on sale at Bi-Lo this week. My daughter hasn’t been able to have any milk products in almost a year so now that her doctor just released her to have yogurt and cheese, I am excited she can have them again and took advantage of the sale.

CVS Trip: $83 of Tide, Scott Towels, Almay for $12!

image

Here’s my little CVS trip from last night – it was snowing and sleeting and the kids wanted new cereal and milk – so I braved the cold like the super-mom I am :)   Also, I just really wanted some Diet Coke (please note the not-full bottle).  In the end I spent $11.57 on over $83 in merchandise.  I’m pretty happy about that – even if I didn’t have coupons for a couple of the items!

Personal Note: I wanted to get more of the Scott – but they were out of toilet paper, I also wanted to get that darn Venus single razor for free – but they didn’t carry it at my store.  It’s ALWAYS good to bring some coupons for other items so you can make a backup plan on the fly!

*For more details about the coupons used – see this week’s current CVS Ad Matchups  & Printable List and prepare early for next week by checking out the CVS Ad Matchups for the week of 1/20!

I bought:
(3) Bottles of Tide -  $5.96 ea (reg. $9.99)
Almay Eyecolor – $5.99 (reg. $9.89)

Halloween Clearance Cereals – My $.50 Count Chocula Score!

When I went to Cooke’s yesterday to pick up my 10 Bags of Kraft Cheese for $10 – I also stumbled upon a basket full of Halloween Cereals on clearance for $.99 each.  I picked up several boxes of Count Chocula and a few Frankenberry as well – and use my $1/2 General Mills Kids Cereal Coupons to get them for only $.50 each – what a good deal!

This just goes to show that any foods wrapped in Halloween packaging will have to be clearanced out along with the rest – so keep your eyes peeled for great deals on Teddy Grahams, Fruit Snacks, etc…. that might have been packaged with trick-or-treaters in mind :)   Get coupons for those items as well in our Coupon Database.
