This trip I actually did this morning with all 3 CK. My trips to Wags and CVS usually are about 15 minutes ea. When all 3 CK are with me this is especially important. It helps that CK #3 has a favorite employee, Emily, and she is always smiling and willing to help out. In the summer time we usually go to the Wags on Kingston Pike and Smith Rd. because they have a RedBox Movie Rental Box and there is usually a free code to rent a movie on Monday. Today we got a Benji movie.
Our trip today cost $1.39 OOP and included;
8 - Ragu Pasta Sauce $2ea get 8 RR's wyb 8 (decent when more veggies are added)
1 - St. Ives Body Wash $2.99 get 3 RR's
used 3 - $1/2 Ragu Pasta Sauce printable & 1 - .60/2 Ragu Pasta Sauce from 5/17 RP
used 14 RR's from 2 weeks ago
pd $1.39 OOP and received 11 RR's to use next week

CVS trip 6/15
Two things first.
1. Taking pictures of my shopping trips is not my favorite thing. In my mind to be a blog worthy shopping picture it would need to be me and my best friend, Michelle, shopping in Vernazza, Italy after we spent a day swimming in the Mediterranean. CVS on Kingston Pike just doesn't come close. So, if shopping pictures are helpful for you then leave some happy comments and let me know. I might reconsider adding pictures:)
2. CVS is a little sneaky and they let you shop the next week's deals starting on Saturday at 6pm. So I did my CVS shopping Saturday the 13th after picking up CK #1 from a friends house.
Here is what we added to our stockpile. Total OOP was $1.87.
3 - Schick Titanium Razor/Trimmers
3 - Kellogg's Cereals
1 - Skippy Peanut Butter 16.3oz
These are the three transactions.
1 - Schick Titanium Razor/Trimmer $7.99
2- Kellogg's Cereals $1.88ea
used 1 - $4 razor coupon that exp 6/14 (another came out in the 6/14 SS so you can still do this)
used 2 - $1 Kellogg's cereal coupons from the 6/7 RP
used 5 ECB's from prior week
pd .75 OOP received 3 ECB's
1 - Schick Titanium Razor/Trimmer $7.99
1 - Kellogg's Cereal $1.88ea
1 - Skippy Peanut Butter $1.66ea
used 1 - $4 razor coupon that exp 6/14 (another came out in the 6/14 SS so you can still do this)
used 1 - $1 Kellogg's cereal coupons from the 6/7 RP
used 1 - $1 Skippy coupon that printed out last week & .40 coupon from 3/31 RP
used 2 ECB's from prior week and 3 ECB's from last transaction
pd .13 OOP and received 3 ECB's
1 - Schick Titanium Razor/Trimmer $7.99
used 1 - $4 razor coupon that exp 6/14 (another came out in the 6/14 SS so you can still do this)
used 3 ECB's from last transaction
pd. .99 OOP and received 3 ECB's to use next week
If you are a math lover and you figured out that the net overall would be the same if I just pd for everything in one transaction and took the 9 ECB's from the 3 razors and used them next week, let me tell you why when I have the chance I used multiple transactions.
At CVS the limit for the Razor ECB deal was three. If all three are purchased in the same transaction, the ECB prints out as a single $9 ECB. It can be difficult to come with $9 worth of items some weeks. The ECB's do have an expiration date so I like to use them each week so that they don't expire and to keep the weekly OOP as low as I can. It's the game I play with myself to see how little cash I can spend.

Reach/Listerine Coupon & Free Suncreen Stickers
Just a couple more fun things before the weekend.
These two I found on www.hip2save.com.
Free Sundiwear stickers. Put these on your kids after applying sunscreen and it will tell you when to apply more.
$2 & $1 Listerine/Reach coupon on www.coupons.com. These are both great coupons to use at Walgreen/CVS/Kroger when toothbrushes & floss go on sale.
A few weeks ago I signed up for www.homedepotgardenclub.com. Something must have worked because our garden is OUT OF CONTROL!

Friday 6/12 - Looking Back & Forward
Today is the day to finish up some serious deal planning and take a break for the weekend.
My new coupon for today is the Huggies Goodnite's $2 off here. There are some other good coupons like .75/3 Pillsbury refrig. baked goods and .75/1 Fiber One cereal. Don't forget to grab the free Goodnites sample from here. Thanks hip2save.
Southernsavers has a summary of other good freebies for the week and if you are already crazy about couponing she has some of the deals posted for next week.
If you need cheese Kraft Naturals 8oz shreds, crumbles and chunks are on sale 3/$5. You do NOT have to buy three to get the $1.67ea price. Go to Kraftfoods and print off the $1 off 2 pkg of Kraft Cheese. Buy 2 x $1.67=$3.34. Use the $1 coupon to pay $2.34 for 1lb of cheese. My buy price for cheese is less than $3/lb. You can print two of these coupons on each computer so if you have multiple computers that means even more cheese. The expiration dates are usually 2-3 months out so if you buy enough to last until the next sale (6-8 weeks) you will not have to pay full price for cheese.
If you have the B1G1Free coupon for Sierra Mist 2 liter bottles available a few weeks ago on coupons.com, they are on sale buy 4 for $5 and get 2 free at Kroger. If you have 4 coupons like I did then you buy 4 and get 6 for free. (4 free from the coupons and 2 free from the sale) That makes them 10/$5 for .50ea.
Have a good weekend.

Edge Shaving Gel $1 Coupon
Here is a $1 off coupon for Edge Shaving Gel. Edge often goes on sale at Walgreens or CVS so this will come in handy.
Walmart Deals & Canning Jar Watch
This is our first year living in the South and my first gardening experience in such a warm and humid climate. After 12 years in the NW and trying to coax a garden into growing, I am SHOCKED to see my veggies already overgrowing their raised beds. All of the seed packets had estimated days to harvest and I am 20-30 days short on the lettuce and spinach and already eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If the tomatoes, carrots, peppers, 5 kinds of squash, zucchini, pumpkins, beans, and two kinds of peas produce at the same rate I will be doing a lot of canning. I don't shop at Walmart very much but today I went to get prices on canning jars (I have $3 off 2/box coupons from a few weeks ago) and to see if any of the deals I have seen on different blogs were available at ours in West Knox. Here are the results.
1 Watermelon - $4
Peaches - .98/lb
8 Mac & Cheese .50 ea
White Cloud TP - 4 roll(143 sq/ft) - $2
used 2 - Buy Three Get One Free (B3G1F) made them .37ea
used $1 off White Cloud made it .006 sq/ft (that is half the price of Quilted Northern at Sam's) That means if the Quilted Northern at Sam's was the same price per sq/ft it would be $8.10 instead of $17.48. Never based your buying decision on the number of rolls in a pkg of TP. It may sound crazy but every 4 pk, 6 pk, 9 pk, ect. ect. has a different amount on each roll.

There is a $1 4-pk of Cottonelle at the Maryville location but not at Turkey Creek. I have a $1 off coupon and was hoping to get it for free. It will just have to stay filed until my next trip down.
Canning Jars
Canning Jars
Ball Brand (Box of 12)
4oz Jelly $7.70
Quilted 1/2 Pint Reg $8.12
1/2 Pint Reg $7.12
Pint Reg $7.70
Pint Wide $$8.76
Qt. Reg $8.82
Qt. Wide $10
Golden Harvest Brand (Box of 12)
Pint Reg $6.82
Qt. Reg $7.88
If you had to buy based on this then the Golden Harvest are a better deal. If you have the $3/2 boxes coupon then Ball Brand is better. I am hoping for a sale just before canning season comes around.
