CVS Money Maker and Free Samples

I saw this CVS money maker this morning on www.southernsavers.com and stopped to see if it worked at my fav CVS on Kingston Pike. Sure enough. Easiest $8 I ever made. The Style Science Lens Cleaning Wipes 20 ct are .99. If you buy two you get 10 ECB's. This will also work with the other Style Science items like the glass cases. They were a little tricky to find. Hiding across the aisle from the sunglasses facing backward.

To My New Couponing Friends

Thanks everyone for coming to the class on Tues. night. I had fun. It's always dangerous when my husband has been away for a few days and I finally get to be in the company of adults. Can't shut me up. Thank you for asking lots of good questions. I truly hope that spending all that time listening to me wax poetic about crazy good deals inspires you to take some control over what you spend your resources on. It's your time and your money - make it work for you.

One of the things it seems people want to know most is what is a good deal. Really a good deal. Like WWTD (what would Tamara do)? What price am I willing to pay? I call that my buy price. So I am going to add a spot to my blog and start a list. This list will only be a reference for you. Your family might like different items that you can get for free that my family won't use so we have to pay a little more or visa versa.

The first items on the list will be pasta and OJ.

Pasta - .25/lb or less - Most pkgs at the store are 12-16oz. So if you can get one of those pkg for .25 go for it. Many of you will want to know how this compares to the price you pay at Sam's or the 'Cannery'. At Sam's you pay .96/lb for spaghetti or macaroni in a 6lb pkg. At the 'Cannery' you pay .76/lb in a bulk box of about 20 lbs I think. Now this means you have to either can or mylar bag or somehow store that bulk pasta and that means your price is even higher. I have nothing against the 'Cannery' and do get things there but usually not pasta.

OJ - My family loves real 'not from concentrate' OJ. Usually Tropicana. I like to stock up on it for $3/gallon or $1.50 for 1/2 gallon. Usually you will pay $5-6/gallon. So when it goes on sale I buy enough for a month. Frozen is cheaper and if we needed to cut back we would.

Target 6/15

The coupon class is tomorrow night and I needed to finish up a couple of details like putting together some cute gift bags of free stuff I have accumulated for give aways. We headed to Target to get some little bags out of the $1 section and a few almost free items.

For some reason the Target coupon is really hard for me to read and decipher. Sometimes coupons come off right under the item on the receipt and sometimes they come off at the end. Sometimes items are grouped together if you buy more than one the the same thing and sometimes not. In order to make sure everything worked right I have an idea of what my deal items should cost and then I make sure the receipt subtotal equals that BEFORE I leave the parking lot. If it doesn't add up you can go back in to customer service and have them fix it. I rarely have to do that.
