Double ear infection (part two)

So here I am again!  So like I said in last post, went to doc and have ear infection in both ears.  He says I need meds so of course I have him send it to CVS!  Even when I don't feel good, I still feel ok enough to stop at the kiosk and scan my card. 
Glad I did!  I had a $5.00 Extra bucks coupon from Beauty Club!  So my $10 prescription was $5.00!  I also picked up some Ibuprofen, which was buy one get one for 1/2 price, so I saved another $2.50 there.  Pretty good for a sickie!

So, that brings my total for coupons for 2014 to $140.60!

I'll take it!

Double ear infections! Not what I was planning for this week...(part 1)

So haven't been feeling good the last week or so, really run down, constantly tired.  Was having a sore throat, so went to walkin clinic.  It took me longer to check in than it did to wait or see the doc.  He looked in left ear...WHOA!  he says, then looks in the other ear and says, WOW...way too red!  Looks in my throat...not so bad, worse because of your two ear infections!  Great.  So, on the antibiotics.  You always just think it will go away.  Work full time, no time to go to doc.  Not this time.  So, anyway, on to couponing, which is what this page is about...

Saturday I did ok.  Went to CVS, and I love CVS of course, but one thing I don't like...they don't put signs up for all of their sales, or maybe they take them down on the last day.  Either way, it is kind of a pain to have to take your ad with you to try and get your deals, because you aren't sure if they are on sale or not.  The other thing I don't like is that my CVS doesn't stock much of the sale items.  I went to get t.p. and of course there was none on the shelves.  But, I did have a $5 off $25 coupon to my card.  Then I was looking for Allegra for my allergies, and walk by a floor display and what do I see?  A coupon pad for $3.00 off!  So, I grab one.  One.  And it just occurs to me know, that I could have taken two maybe.  In my excitement that I was getting $3.00 off for no work, I took the one I needed for my purchase that day.  Well, the next 100 people that see that rack will be thankful I wasn't greedy.  I also got $3.00 my disposable razors for myself and my spoiled daughter, and I bought Colgate, which spit out a $1.00 extra bucks for next time.  So total at CVS for Saturday was $11.00 plus one extra bucks that will count when I actually use it.  I also went to ALB, but was in a hurry, so used 1 coupon for t.p. (they had it in stock thanks Albertsons!) and so I saved $0.25 there.  For a Saturday total of:  $11.25!

This post is getting long, so more in a bit...

My love/hate relationship with Walmart.

Last Saturday I decided to try and get back to my couponing, and part of that is printing coupons online.  I usually start out my coupon search by going to the Fabulessly Frugal.com site.  It tells what new coupons are out there, and how to get the best deals at various stores.  They had a link to some wonderful Kraft coupons.  So, I clicked the link and it took me to coupons.com, which has great coupons.  So, I saw all the Kraft coupons, and clicked them for printing.  Then I saw in the corner that they were 'redeemable at Walmart'.  GGGRRR!!!  I hate going to Walmart...especially the grocery side.  Don't get me wrong...I actually LOVE Walmarts products, but I hate the parking lot and having to stand in long lines.

So, I just kept the coupons, until today.  I decided just to go in and get the things I had coupons for...and milk.  So, I ended up with 9 coupon items (see picture!) and I saved a total of $6.50!  I used coupons for items that I will use in the next month, and they are items that I regularly buy.

So, I hate Walmarts parking lot and lines, but I LOVE using the coupons and saving money!
