My Mailbox 6/2


Today I got:

Not a bad mail day, not bad at all.

My Mailbox 6/1

2 Free magazines from freebizmags.com
$5/30 CVS coupon from RecycleBank
1 $2/1 Soft Scrub from Recycle Bank

CVS Shop for the week of 6/6-6/12


So it was a slow week for CVS. Add to that the Nature's Bounty Rewards program changed and they are no longer offering $5/1 coupons (so no good $$ overage, oh well..all good things must come to an end). But they are still offering $3/1 so I was able to score some free vitamins and a small amount of overage towards my other items in my shop.


What I bought:
4 Nature's Bounty Vitamins--$5.19 (B1G1)
1 Fusion ProGlide Razor--$9.97
1 Pampers Refill Wipes (on clearance)--$1.99
1 Pampers Tub of Wipes (on clearance)--.87
1 Pampers Tub of Wipes--$3.49

Coupons I used:
1 $4/20 from registering here
4 $3/1 any Nature's Bounty from here
1 $4/1 Fusion Razor any from 6/6 P&G
3 $2/1 Pampers Wipes 60 or larger from 6/6 P&G
Subtotal: .70 cents
Tax: $1.59
Total OOP: $2.29 on CVS GC so technically $0.00!! Plus I earned $5 ECB's from buying the Fusion ProGlide Razor!

I bought all the clearance wipes they had in the store (I gave one tub to my neighbor, she just had new baby!), and one regular price tub of wipes. I have learned that CVS registers will not beep as long as your total on an item is more than you have in coupons. Even if it is just .01, so in this case I was buying $6.35 in Pampers wipes so I was able to use 3 $2/1 Pampers Wipes q's and wah lah no beeps. Even those one tub of wipes was .87 cents, the tub that I bought that was $3.49 balanced everything out. An a .35 cent total on essentially 5 tubs worth of wipes!!

Maybe some of you savvy CVS'ers knew this but it was like an epiphany for me when I realized it. These are the things you don't find on the coupon blogs. But I digress, I am thinking of hitting up the other CVS to see if they have any clearance wipes, I know, I stalk clearance deals, but I do have a neighbor with a newborn and 2 other neighbors that are expecting by the end of the year, so eventually someone will use them.

Sooo...whaddidya get this week at CVS??

FYI: I just read here that the limit on the $5 ECB's wyb Gillette Fusion Proglide is Limit 2, not 1!! That's awesome because I have more coupons that are burning a hole in my pocket and a $5/15 thats itching to be used!!!

I know, I know but this couldn't wait...


UPDATE: I DID IN FACT WIN A $20 TARGET.COM GIFT CARD!!! AAAAHHHH!!!

Ok, so I know I said I wasn't going to post until I am feeling better but this evening I randomly checked my SPAM folder because recently I went through that folder and saw that I have an invite for a FREE FULL SIZE product review. Since the email went to my SPAM folder by the time I logged in, clicked all appropriate links, and agreed to Terms **BLAM**,-- "Thank you but this product review group is full at this time....please look forward to our other offers in the future."

BOO. BOO. BOO.

So I have learned my lesson and I am checking my SPAM folder.

Well today I logged into my account and saw I had 2 "Unread" in my Spam folder. The first email was really SPAM but the SECOND was a notification from this blog that I had WON A $20 E-GIFT CARD to Target.com!!!!!!!!

Insert a hoarse mama trying to scream loudly at this point. AAAHHH!!!!!

Quick as a flash I sent an email back acknowledging their email and thanking them for the giveaway. I hope it all goes well, the email said I had 24 hours to respond and while I am pretty sure I responded in time I still am kinda nervous I am going to miss out on the E-Gift Card.

I don't know why I am such a spaz but I am. Its my nature.

I will let you know how it turns out!! Wish me Luck!!!
Feeling sick...will be blogging again when my gross nasal, throat, ear issues go away.

Now if you will excuse me I am going to go catch up on some much needed rest.

If you need me I will be under that rock over there.

Rite Aid Shop for the Week of 5/30-6/5


Normally I don't shop Rite Aid because the SCR program is a lot of work for me and my simple brain can not process that much info but I read
here that Ziploc bags were B1G1 (although the signage at my store did not show that and I did not want to ask, the ladies there are a smidge touchy), however when I was there I did see that the Stayfree pads were on sale $1.99 and there were coupons for $2/1 in some inserts that I bought while in Chicago at my little sister's Navy graduation.
So I did this:
5 Stayfree Pads--$1.99

Coupons I used:
5 $2/1 any Stayfree Product from the 3/28RP
Subtotal:-.05 (Love when my totals are like that)
Tax: .70
Total OOP: .65

Maybe I will start looking into Rite Aid weekly deals more regularly, cuz I love shops like this!!

My Mailbox 5/28

*2 Kraft First Taste Free Product q's (from calling customer service)
