CVS deals for the week of June 15

It is not a great week at CVS... but there are some good deals to be had! Check out all other great CVS deal plans here. Here is my plan for the week:

1 Sally Hansen Quick nail color is 7.99 (get back 5EB)
2 Oral B Cross action or stages power toothbrush is 5.99 (get back 3 EB)

1 Almay one coat mascara is 6.99 (get back 5 EB)

Total after buying all 3 of these would be 26.96. Find 3.04 worth of fillers- for me personally I will throw in some trash bags because we are in need. You might however throw in some candy if you are working on the candy deal for the week or buy another EB producing item. I have hit the limit on most monthly EB deals (the good ones) so that is why I am not including one.

So your total come to around $30 (depending on your filler)
-5/30 coupon recieved in email
-2/1 Sally Hansen coupon
-1/1 Almay coupon
-BIGI free Oral B coupon (5.99 in value, due to come out in tomorrow's paper)
total =16.01 and get back 16 in EB! (you can make your EB count higher if your filler is another EB producing item!)

Free Admission to the Zoo today!

Today after 12:30 p.m. you can get into the Topeka Zoo FREE!  check out details at wibw.com

Free Movie ticket!

This week in Crystal's post about Wal-Mart deals she mentions this:

Dr. Pepper 2 Liter bottles - on sale $1
Use $1/2 coupon 
here 
(Register, then at the bottom of the screen you'll see "Need a code?", a code will be sent to your email address, then when entered you will be directed to print the coupon.)
$0.50 each after coupon (Thanks, Wendy!)

A good friend of mine signed up to print her coupon and in the process she also won a free movie ticket!  Maybe you will too...
Note: not everyone will win, but it is worth a shot!

Weekly Trip

I only shopped at Dillon's this week.  It is the closest to my house and I was able to get most of what I needed.  When I do my weekly CVS run I may stop by our Hy-Vee for a few good deals I spotted.  Be sure to check out all Dillon's deals for the week here and go here for other great shopping trips posted by others at Money Saving Mom. Also don't forget to check out the coupons.com top and side bar widgets for any printable coupons you may need for the week!

Note: MS means Manager Special.  This is for items that are possibly close to expiration.
  • 2 1/2 gallons of Dillon's milk on MS for .50/1=1.00 for both (usually run 1.70 and up)
  • 1 gallon of Dillon's milk-2.79
  • 4 Right Guard deodorants at 1.00/1= 4.00- 4 1/1 coupons = FREE
  • 1 bag of organic russet potatoes on MS for .89 (usually run 2.50 and up)
  • 2 bags of Kroger shredded cheese=3.16
  • 1 bar of Kroger cheese=1.58
  • 1 Yoplait kid's yogurt- 2.50- .40/1 shortcuts.com coupon and -.35/1 mf coupon doubled to .70/1 =1.10!
  • 1 pack of Johnsonville brats on MS for 1.49-.55/1 coupon doubled to 1/1=.49 (usually 2.50 and up)

  • 1 head of cauliflower on MS for .99 (usually 1.60 and up)
  • 1 bag of Kroger carrots on MS for .99 (usually 1.50 and up)
My total was 33.98 and total savings on my receipt (between store coupons, mf coupons, and doubled coupons) was 18.61.  Total savings for buying items on MS was roughly $20. Altogether I saved almost $40!  Percentage wise it works out to be around 75%!  

One stop shop!

For your convenience I have added printable coupon banners to my blog. You will notice a banner up top, on the right, and down at the bottom.   These banners are sponsored by coupons.com. You will find all the coupons of coupons.com right here on this blog.  All you have to do is click on the "see all coupons" tab and it will show you a list of coupons available for print.  Check the ones you want, hit print and you are ready to save!  I personally find this much easier than thumbing through 8 tabs on the regular site in order to get the coupons you want.  If you like to see the picture that goes with the product then just click on the "coupons" icon you will see at the lower right corner of the box and it will take you directly to the site. I do hope you find this feature helpful and useful!

K.C. Star going up in price

I bought my weekly copy of the K.C. Star Sunday paper last week and realized that they are now charging $2.00 per paper every week instead of $1.50 for areas outside of the 5 county metro.  So if you would like to save money on the Star be sure to look into ordering it online.  Check out the rates here.  It is still only 25.74 for a 26 week delivery of Friday, Saturday and Sunday's paper!
