  • About Me

    I'm happily married with 6 fur-babies! (2 dogs and 4 cats and they are all special needs.) My life is dedicated to helping animals in some way or another. I've practically made a full time job out of couponing. I've been doing this for a little over a year and I'm addicted! It seems to always amaze people how much I'm able to get for very little money so I thought it'd be nice to share! It is very time consuming but worth every penny saved! I also hope to help new couponers get into the game!

CVS & Bi-Lo

Published by couponanimal under Uncategorized Edit This

My shopping will be slim this week, but here are a couple of deals I picked up yesterday.

Bi-Lo is having a 3-day sale. Today is the last day to get a few good deals on necessities everyone can use.

 

(2) 5lb Domino Sugar $5.96
-$2.96 Sale
Used: .65/2 Q -.65
Total: $2.35 ($1.18 each)

 

(2) Dozen Large Eggs $3.38
-$1.42 Sale
Total: $1.96 (.98 each)


Total Including Tax: $4.42; Total Savings: $5.03

 

CVS had some things on sale that I had coupons for and could use. I didn’t have any CVS coupons to use with my MFR coupons so my deals didn’t turn out as great. Plus I was completely wiped of ECB. So I need to start building my bucks back up! (The deals haven’t been so hot the past couple of weeks, which worked out for me since I used my drugstore budget in my grocery budget!)

 

(1) Palmolive $1.69
-.20 sale
Used: .50/1 Q -.50
Total: .49

 

(1) Breath Right Strips 30ct $13.99
-$4.00 sale
Used: $2/1 Q -$2.00
Total: $7.99

 

(1) Secret Flawless $4.99
-$1.00 sale
Used: $2/1 Q -$2.00
Total: $1.99

 

(3) Renuzit Triscents $16.47
-$1.50 sale
Used: (3) $4/1 Q -$12.00
Total: $2.97 (.99 each)

 

(1) Vaseline Men’s Lotion $3.69
Used: $1.25/1 Q -$1.25
Total: $2.44

 

Total Including Tax: $19.11; Total Savings: $24.45

 

I honestly think this is the most I have ever spent OOP at CVS! But I still saved quite a bit without any ECB or CVS Q’s! I received $4 in ECB from the Secret, Vaseline and Palmolive.
