2 Free CVS Vitamins!

I forgot to post the other day how I got 2 bottles of CVS brand vitamins for free!

When I scanned my card at the coupon scanner, I received a coupon for a free bottle of kid's gummy vitamins.  The value was slightly under $7.  The store was also having a Buy One Get One Free promotion on all their CVS brand vitamins.  The coupon paid for one bottle, and the sale paid for the other!

So, I ended up with 2 bottles for FREE!

If you still have this coupon, be sure to check and see because I am almost certain the sale is still going on!

Frugal Meal!

What did everyone end up having for dinner tonight?  We try to stick with frugal meals, but also try to have a variety.

Tonight, we had chicken burgers.  Not something that we have often, but it ended up being pretty frugal.

We got the chicken burgers for $2.00 on manager's special!  Added some seasoning and then to the pan.

Chopped up an onion - Price matched 4 pounds for .99 - Only used half an onion!

Put it in a pan with some vegetable oil and let it heat up.  

I made some coconut rice.  

This required some rice - I got the rice for only .19 after coupon!

And, some coconut milk that the rice was cooked in... I decided to use the vanilla coconut milk.  Organic, and delicious.  It was only $1 for the carton after sale and coupon.

I heated up some Libby's Naturals corn.  I didn't know that they made a natural kind.  Canned veggies are obviously not as healthy as fresh or frozen, but daughter found the can and begged.  I paid .33 for the can on sale without coupon.

I also picked up hamburger buns for .99 at Fry's the other day.

Overall, the meal cost under $4 for the 3 of us!

Target - FREE Rose Art crayons after sale and coupon!

This week at Target, they have the 24 pack of Rose Art crayons on sale for .25!

Even better yet, we received a $1/3 coupon in the inserts yesterday.

This means that you can get 3 packs of crayons for FREE!

Target does not traditionally give you overage - They are supposed to "adjust the coupon down".  This means that while your coupon is for $1, you are only purchasing .75 worth of items, so they would only take .75 off.  Target will still get reimbursed for the full coupon amount, so they aren't out anything at all.  It's actually better for them!

I have heard reports that there are other Rose Art items that would work, such as .25 glue sticks or a little higher in price glue bottles, markers, colored pencils...

If you did not receive this coupon or would like extras, you can try to trade for them, use a coupon clipping site or search on Ebay.  I purchased 20 of these coupons for about $2 on Ebay.

This is an amazing donation item for kids going back to school or to be made directly to the school of your choice!

*Most of the crayons I am going to get will be donated to local schools through the donation boxes at Fry's.

My Target steals - Did you use your coupons yet?

Did you use your printable Target clothing coupons yet?  They had some great deals this last week on tank tops, but you can still use those coupons this week on some other sale items or even clearance items!

I found this tank top marked down to $4.  After the $3/1 coupon, I only paid $1!  (Retails: $8.99)

I found this dress on clearance for $5.48.  After the $3/1 coupon, I paid only $2.48!  (Retails: $24.99)

Possible money maker with new Bic coupon!

In this weeks Sunday Coupon Insert, you will receive either a $1/1 or $1/2 coupon on any Bic product!  This coupon will allow for possible overage with all the back to school deals going on.  If you take it to Walmart, you can score free pens or White Out.  Depending on other store's, you may be able to find a moneymaker situation either there, or price matching to Walmart where overage is allowed.

If you want extras of this coupon, you can trade for it with others if you are in contact with others that coupon, or going through a coupon clipping service or Ebay.

This is a great item for back to school, and to also donate to back to school drives or directly to your chosen   school.

Don't forget your Sunday Coupon Inserts!

There are some amazing coupons in the inserts this week, including ones for your back to school shopping!  I encourage you to go through this preview to see if you are going to want to buy a paper, multiple papers, trade for extras, or order extras from a coupon clipping service/Ebay.  

This is definitely the week to buy a paper, if not multiple ones.

My CVS finds!

I went to a couple different CVS stores over the last couple days -

At the first one, I found that they had a lot of their socks, underwear and hosiery marked down 25%-75%!  I never thought to purchase these items from CVS; I never even realized they carried them!

The socks I purchased were on markdown to $2.49 for 10!

The fleece blanket was on clearance for $1.00!

The hosiery were marked down to $1.17 and they all had $1/1 coupons on them!  So, I paid .17 each!

The deodorant were free after the CVS coupon that printed at the scanner!

I also purchased a drink that was free after the CVS coupon that printed at the scanner and a 24 pack of bottled water that was on sale and I used a CVS coupon.

My subtotal was $10.15 after sales, clearance, and coupons -

I saved:  $50.12

*The hosiery is being donated to a domestic women's shelter for when the residents go on interviews.

*The deodorant is being donated for care packages for the troops.

At the second CVS store, I found a lot of clearance cat items!  We do not have a cat, but I recently picked up 10 bags of cat treats from Fry's for the Humane Society.  So, when I found 7 pound bags of cat liter for only .21 each, I got some!  That's right - .21 each, no coupon required!!!  I purchased 4 bags, for a total of 28 pounds of cat liter for only .84 total!  

They also had two cans of cat food on clearance for only .07 each!  

*The cat liter and food will be donated to the Humane Society.
