6/26 CVS (while in Richmond)

So, today is CVS day, but i was visiting in Richmond, i ended up stopping by 3x CVS's (till i found one open before 10am) this was my haul, great day i think! total i "spent" 16.38 ECB's and $2(cash) and i earned 13ECB's...

got my Bayer Advanced from 2 weeks ago.. got to love rain-checks!

Originally i tried to get 1 Lysol no touch and 2x soap refills, but the ECB didn't print, so i ended up returning the soap refills and just got a second dispenser.

Total for all of these would have come to $48 and i only payed $2 cash.

CVS 6/19/2011

so yes, i went to CVS today, on fathers day because i know the longer i wait the more and more they wont have the sale items...

i thought i was going to get the G-U-M Mints, but after everything i figured it was a waste as no one here would actually use them.

today wasn't a big haul, but i used these deals

~ Get $5.99 ECB wyb Hershey's Bliss 8.6-9.6oz $5.99 Limit 1
$1 Hersheys Bliss, 8.6 oz+ (SS 5/1)

Free + $1 MM after coupon/ ECB


i didn't start couponing that early, so i didn't end up "making" the $1.. but it was totally free--------------
~ Get $2.49 ECB wyb PowerBar Energy or Protein Bites 2.6-3oz $2.49 Limit 1

Free after ECB


Chocolate- Peanutbutter ... protein bites... it's free, i'll try it (or give it to someone i know)
---------------~ Get $2 ECB wyb Colgate Total Gum Defense, Advance or Enamel Strength 4oz, Max 6oz or 360 Surround toothbrush $2.79 Limit 2 
$1/1 Colgate total (SS 6/12) 
$1/1 Colgate Total - RIB coupon
Free + $1.21 or $0.21 MM after coupon/ecb


i did not get the Gum Defense, so i didn't get the RIB coupon applied, but i did get 2 tubes that actually "payed" me $0.21 each to take them out of the store!


-------------
I also did raincheck 4x Schick Hydro5's BOGO's so with the 4x$4.00 off they will be $0.99 each!

"Coupon Clutch" - Thank you Wife!

It Looks like a tote when carrying it 
So i was trying to figure out what binder i wanted, and thought i wanted a zip up one, but i could only find the one's that have 2x small 1" rings inside.. needless to say that didn't work for me...  so i kept on looking, and i found www.couponclutch.com looked cook, but WAY too much money for me.. but i didn't find a few pictures and showed them to my wonderful wife, and she whipped one up for me! and i LOVE it!

Thanks again Wife!

and like this when it's not!

Officially have a Facebook!

Coupon King (42) officially has a Facebook page!

.facebook.com/pages/Coupon-King-42

Woot woot!

Now i need to get my printer fixed, without a working printer i can't print IP's    :(

Swagbucks.com

Search & Win

So, i just found out about Swagbucks.com ^click that box to check it out.
you earn points for playing games, watching videos, doing survey's and such, and when you have so many Swag Points, you can redeem them for stuff, i'm looking at the $10 CVS gift card to go with my ECB's...

Search & Win

Internet Printable Coupons

I've been asked where i find my Internet Printable coupons, (IP's)
well there are a few places i go to,
of course CVS online coupons come from CVS.com look at the top right hand side it'll say "in-store coupons"
At Target.com scroll down to the bottom on the page, and find the "Target Stores" section, under there you'll see Coupons!

with CVS and Target you can use a store (CVS @CVS, and Target @Target) AND Manufacture coupon on the same item!!

Now for Coupons you can use anywhere.. not store specific ...
Coupons.com
Redplum.com
Couponnetwork.com
Couponbug.com

these you can actually print 2 coupons per computer, we have 5 Computers here so i could, if i wanted to print 10 of the same coupons.

there is also Savingstar.com, which is a little different.  you link your Store savings card to your savingsstar account, and you click on the "coupons" you want, these "coupons" do not come off of your receipt, but are "credited" to your savings star account, and once you get $5's on your account you can recieve your money either by bank transfer, paypal, amazon.com gift card, etc...
With savingsstar, you can use these with your other coupons, because the store doesn't really know that your using Savingsstar.com so if it matches up you can make money!!!

also, you can find Internet Prints(IP's)from some manufacture websites, so if you are looking for specific products it doesn't hurt to stop by  their website to see if there is an IP's .. i used this for Boca Burgers (my wife doesn't eat red meat) and i have gotten a few from Dove's websites

CVS 6/12/11

So I was looking at my email this morning, and saw a "frecycle" post for "Offer: 1- 3 Drawer Plastic Dresser " so i snagged it , yes it's used, yes it's pink, yes.. it's mine... then on my way back home i ended up stopping at 2 different CVS's the first one had my Zyrtec, so i got that ($6.99-$1(Instant savings)-$6.99(Home mailer coupon) = $-1.00 i made a dollar! but i ended up getting a "green bag tag" from CVS, which cost $.99 to get, but you use it with your ECB Card to get $1 ECB for every 4 trips to the store (1 per day) when you use a reuseable shopping bag.. i couldn't pass that up..

the second CVS had my Schick hydro 5 (and refills) but they did NOT have any carts, and when your shopping with a 1yr old you need one.. so on my razor it didn't ring up as a sale price, and i didn't get my ECB.. i'll be going to my store tomorrow to get that sorted..

i did find the Seattle's best coffe late' (in the can, individuals) so i got 5 of them (FOR FREE!)

needless to say 6 transactions today at CVS, total OOP $8 (but i need to get my ECB and sale price on the Schick)...

Super Double savings

So today was super double saving day at Bloom...

it was pretty hectic again, alot of people with binders, and out of stock of alot of stuff i was after, but i stocked up on a few things

ended up going back (3 trips total) but it's all good. but they restocked while i was gone, so i got almost everything on my list for today, from Bloom

i got $131.47 for  $23.51 but that included Boca burgers which was NOT on sale..  total from all 4 transactions, i saved 82.12% !!

today i learned that i need to carry my binders with me no matter what, i don't want to make multiple trips next time.

CVS was disappointing tonight, they were sold out on alot of items i wanted to buy, but i ended up getting some Motrin PM and $3 ECB and we'll try it again tomorrow

all in all not a bad day for shopping

Starting it..

My wife likes to tease me now, and call me "the coupon king"  but honestly i'm still trying to get my head wrapped around this whole concept, i'd love to start a stockpile of cleaning products, and Health and beauty supplies (HBC).. and stock up the pantry

but i know my wife thinks of this as hording, and i know we don't have the extra cash to spend a lot..

also trying to do all of this couponing with the boys is a bit of a headache!

anywho.. i'll post updates, when i can
