Results from shopping trip yesterday.

First off, at Publix I did get the Chefboyardee canned pastas for .50 each, however, the meat ones were not not included in the sale.  They were 4/$3 and with the Publix coupon for $1/4, they came out to .50 each.  I bought 12 for the pantry.

I did pretty well at CVS.  I did the Venus Embrace razor deal.  Bought one for $9.99, had a $4/1 coupon and received $4 Extra Bucks, making it $1.99.  (I did not receive a CVS coupon when I entered the store and ran my card through the machine).  The other deal was if you bought $30 in selected products, you receive $10 ECB.  I bought 4 Whisk laundry soaps at $4.99 each, had coupons for $2/1 from RP 8/12 making those $2.99 and I bought 4 Speed Stick Deodorants for $2.99 each, had coupons for $1/1 making those $1.99 each.  Spent $25.91 for $62.11 in merchandise and got back $14 in extra care bucks.  Deal #2, I needed Aleve which was on sale for $8.99 each, bought 2 had coupons $1/1, making those $7.99 each, bought 4 Good and Natural bars.....free coupons from last week and needed some coffee filters for $1.99, since I had too many coupons vs. items, I admit it, I bought 2 musketeers bars....I know, my bad.  They were all out of the Barilla microwave pasta meals which would have been $1 each with my coupons.  I spent $5.41 for $29.43 in merchandise.  (I used my $14 ECB from the previous deal).

Target was pretty much a bust for the Dove deal!  I went to 2 Target stores, the one on Argyle and the one on Wells Road...both stores were out of the 12 oz. Dove shampoo and conditioners.  If they WOULD have had them, the price would have been $3.09, not $2.99 as we were told.  Against my better judgement, I bought 2 Dove Mens body washes and 2 Women's Dove body washes, each was $4.49, I had coupons for $1/1 from Redplum 7/29.  I spent $13.96 and got back a $5 gift card.  I turned around and bought a bottle of Loreal liquid make up for $12.81, had a $2/1 coupon for that and used my $5 gift card from the previous deal and spent $5.81 for my makeup.  That was pretty good.

Anyway, not a day to brag about, but I did manage to save some money and get some things to help out with the pantry and start my Christmas bag stockpile.  So there you have it.

Have a great rest of the week.  God Bless.....Rhonda Goff
