Pretty good shops today, nothing major, but still all in all, good.

First stop was Dollar Tree.  I bought single roll Bounty Basic paper towels were, of course, $1 per roll, I had coups for .25 off each, got those for .75 per roll, bought 5.  Those coupons are in your P & G for September.  Libbys canned vegetable were .79 per can, I had coupons for $1 off 4 cans (Redplum 8/26, making those .54 per can.  I looked at a couple of other things, but the sizes weren't right.  I did buy (without coupons) Dial soaps were 3/$1, so bought 12 bars even without coupons.  Our coupons for those expired on 9/9 I think.  I had 20 items and my  total was $15.84.  Not too bad.

Next stop, CVS. Deal 1 CVS had the deal going that if you spent $20 on Nexxus products, you would get $10 back in ECBs.  My Nexxus comb through hair spray was $12.79 each.  I bought 2 and also had (2) $3/1 coupons that I printed from one of the coupon sites.  Bought 2 of the Hershey's candies $3 each with a $1/2 coupon and made $2 ECB on that.  So, spent $24.58 for all and got back $12 ECBs.  Deal 2 I bought a pkg of Breathrite Nasal strips for $12.99 (no coupon)  and 2 of the Colgate 360 Clean toothbrushes which were $2.99 each, had  two coupons for $1/1, got back $2 ECB for each one, that was a break even deal.  I had to get 1 filler item to make my coupon count come out right.   I used my $12 ECBs  and the 2 $1/1 coupons, making that total $6.97!  and got back $4 ECB's to use for next time I go.  Total Savings was $28.97 divided by total value of $60.52 48% savings!  I call that a win.

3rd stop, Publix.  They still had the Truvia sweeteners on sale for $2.99 for the 40ct. package and thank you Redplum this past weekend for the $2 off 1 coupons, I bought 4 for .99 each!  Wish I had more coupons for those.  I think I've only bought Truvia once since the Food Lion's closed, I had really stocked up on those during that time.

Okay, that's my story and I'm stickin to it!  God Bless.....Rhonda Goff
