Okay, fellow couponers.....our coupon group went to the Dollar Tree at Cedar Hills on Blanding, it's one of the larger Dollar Tree Stores.  We were pretty successful there, found many items that qualified for coupons by sizes etc.  Here's what I bought, now the other girls I was with also found Colgate Toothpastes in a large enough size to use their coupons, and several others as well.  I bought 2 Bic White Outs, had a coupon for $1/2, making those .50 each.  Softsoap refills, we had coupons for .50/1, making those .50 each and Post Shredded Wheat cereal was of course $1 each, we had coupons for $1/1 making those free!  I had 6 boxes of shredded wheat, 6 Softsoap refills and 2 Bic white outs and spent $4.56.  The manager of that store did tell us they are really sticking to the size restrictions or any other restrictions.  They will only let you use 2 computer generated mfg coupons, but they allowed us to use more than 2 of the other coupons.  So it will probably vary by store, but this particular store had lots of things that we have gotten coupons for in the past.

On to CVS next....I did 3 deals total.  1st Deal, I bought 2 of the Gillette 10ct razors, were $10.79 each, with a bogo coupon from RP 8/5 and then a $3 off coupon from P & G 8/26  and then used my $4/$20  ECB coupon.  I had to buy one filler item for $1.  I paid $4.79 and got back a $5 ECB...so actually made $$ on that deal.  Deal 2 was 2 Venus Disposables were $7.99 each, had a bogo coupon RP 8/5 and a $3/1 mfg coupon from P & G 8/26 and used my ECB from the previous deal for a total of $1.12 and got a small  filler item.  Deal 3 thank goodness for Dianna finding this one,  Gevalia Coffee bags were on sale for $5.99 each, I had printed (2)  Gevalia bogo coupons (off the site I believe),bought 4 of those,  then I bought 2 of the Dawn Hand Care dish soaps were on sale for .99, had coupons for .75/1 P&G 8/26 making those .24 each!  Used my $5 coupon from the previous deal.  All in all, I spent $13.37 at CVS for  $82.18 in products!  84% savings, I haven't done that well in a while.  And I don't have any extra ECB's to worry about, as I turned them back to the next deal.

For the entire shopping day, I spent $17.93 and got 6 boxes of Post Shredded Wheat, 2 Bic White outs, 6 Softsoap Refills, 20 Gillette mens razors, 8 Gillette Simply Venus Razors, 4 bags of Gevalia Coffee, 2 Dawn dish soaps....I love a day like this!

Okay, get out there and check out your neighborhood Dollar Tree to see what deals you can scare up and CVS seems to be doing better lately with their deals.  I have not shopped Walgreens yet this week, and I may not, I will let you know if I do.

God Bless and get out there a Be a Savvy Shopper!                    Rhonda Goff
