Heads Up: VERY Cheap Huggies at CVS

How would you like a $19.99 BOX of Huggies for $3.99? Common Sense With Money is reporting that there is going to be a great deal the week of 6/20 at CVS... a box of Huggies will be on sale for $19.99 plus get back a $10 ECB. Use the $3 off Huggies printable (which has been reset!) and a CVS $3/1 printable out of the red box (if you get one this week save it)... which means it's possible that you could get the BOX for $3.99! Even if you don't get the $3 off CVS coupon you'll still get a box for $6.99!

I just might have enough diapers to last me through potty training!

Theresa's Copps Run

Tonight I made a quick trip to Copps. Here is my trip.


Here is what I bought:

2 - Kraft Mac & Cheese, B1G1 sale - $0.55 = $0.70 for both (35 cents each)
6 boxes of Kelloggs cereal = $22.24 - $10 for buying 6 boxes - (2) $1/1 coupons, (2) $1/2 coupons (all doubled) = $4.24 for 6 boxes of cereal
2 bags of Nabisco cookies @ $1.33 each - $1/2 MC coupon (doubled) = $0.66 (33 cents each)
2 Lean Cuisine Meals @ $2 each - $1/1 IP coupons (doubled) = FREE
4- IttiBitz @ $1 each - $1/4 MC coupon (doubled) = $2 (50 cents each)
1 - Minute Maid Lemonaid @ $2.50 - $1.50 IP coupon = $1
2 - Yoplait Delights @ $2 each - (2) $1/1 IP coupon (doubled) = FREE
2 - Bag refund = $0.10

Total OOP = $8.64

Total SAVED $40.75



Erica's Copps Run

Stuck to the list almost exactly! The only change was to add blueberries to my second transaction. Forgot that the $2 off coupon was for produce only, so I used it to get the blueberries for $0.50. My final total ended up being less than anticipated as I stuck to some of the cheaper cereals and some other prices were different than what was listed. Here's the final result:


Transaction #1: Total = $18.81, saving $41.26 (67%)

Transaction #2: Total = $24.43, saving $45.16 (65%)

Overall total = $43.24, saving $86.42 (66%)

Erica's CVS Run

Had a GREAT CVS run today. I had some ECB's expiring today so I had to get over there, especially w/ all the great deals they have this week. Here's what I got:


I had multiple transactions planned, but the Velp store was out of several items on my list. I ended up w/ one transaction, but it was FAR better than I anticipated:

  • 2 Skinny Cow ice cream cups, $1 each - $1 IP's = FREE
  • Gillette Fusion ProGlide, $9.97 - $4 MC = $5.97, earned $5 ECB's
  • Always Ultra, $2.97 - FREE MC from Being Girl sample pack = FREE
  • 2 Tampax Pearl, $2.97 each - $2 MC's = $0.97 each
  • Dawn Hand Renewal, $0.97 - $1 MC = FREE plus overage
  • - $5 off $15 that printed at register (adjusted to $4.38)
  • - $3.50 ECB's

Total = $0.96, just the tax! Plus I earned $5 ECB's from the razor, so that is a $4.04 profit. I heart CVS!

The Children's Place Online SALE

Now through June 13th The Children's Place is having an awesome sale! Lots of shirts for $5, shorts for $10, and flip flops 2/$5. Plus right on the site they have a coupon code (J6A6A) for 20% off your entire order. Their shipping is a flat rate $5, no matter how much you buy. I got several polos for my gang for a great price.

Copps Double Double Daze, 6/9

Are you ready for Double Doubles? Took me a while to make my list. I did find 20 coupons I want to double though, so I'll be doing two transactions tomorrow. Here are my two lists. Please visit Minnesota Coupon Adventure for more match-ups and IP links.

Transaction #1:

  • Strawberries, 2/$3
  • Grapes, 1.29/lb. (buy any combo of 3 strawberries, grapes, blueberries, get $2 off future order)
  • 2 cucumbers, 0.49 each
  • 6 Kelloggs cereals, ~$22 - $10 instant savings - (3) $1/2 IP's (doubled) = ~$6, free milk coupon
  • 4 Kraft mac n' cheese, BOGO ~2/$1.29 - (2) 0.55 IP's (doubled) = 4~/$0.38
  • Grande tortilla chips, $2.69 - $1 MC (doubled) = 0.69
  • Town House crackers, 2/$5 - $1/2 MC (doubled) = 2/$3
  • Kelloggs/Cheez-it multi-pack, $3.50 - $1 MC (doubled) = $1.50
  • Flintstone vitamins, $5.99- $1MC (doubled) = $3.99
  • Total = ~$21.50, earned $2 off next order and 1 free milk

Transaction #2:

  • 6 Kelloggs cereals, ~$22 - $10 instant savings - (3) $1/2 IP's (doubled) = ~$6, free milk coupon

  • Milk - free coupon from Transaction #1 = FREE
  • - $2 from fruit
  • Total = ~$24.00, earned free milk coupon

Because there are so many sale/coupon matches this week and I have so many of the coupons, this is a big stock up trip for me. I'm out of lunch meat, almost out of crackers, and getting low on cereal and juice so the timing on these was great. Spending about $45 feels like a lot this week, especially since I already spent $26 at Festival, but I know I'm getting a TON for my money and will have a lot of stock after this trip. Happy shopping!

CVS red box printing free $2 ECBs

I went to CVS today and found out the red box printed me a FREE $2 ECB. It printed on both of my cards, so it might be a deal that everyone is receiving?? Either way, if you do get it, it only lasts for 3 days, so be sure to use it right away.
