My Shopping Trip: ShopRite, CVS & Walgreens
I had a blast shopping today. I guess it always helps when you only need to take $5 with you shopping. Seriously, how can you not like couponing when you can get all this for less then $5 out of pocket. Now, granted I used $26 in ECBs at CVS but, the trick is to continue to roll over all your ECBs, Catalinas, etc so you can keep your out of pocket as low as possible. Sometimes you come away with more then you used and sometimes you come away with less. But, in the long run, it’s just a matter of rolling them and rolling them. It’s a beautiful thing 😉
At Walgreens I used the Royal Gelatin as a filler since they were only $0.39. At CVS, my goal was to buy the Schick Razors to bring my price up to $50 so I could use my $10 off $50 CVS Coupon. But, they didn’t have the razors.
At ShopRite, I did the Taster’s Choice deal and used (2)$0.65/1 coupons and 1 BOGO coupon since that is all I had. I have apparently reached my limit on all my computers…hmm?!?
And, now that we know about this awesome triple dip deal at ShopRite on the Cream Cheese and Kraft products, I will be heading back again before the sale is over. Plus, they FINALLY had the little 1 oz containers of Kraft Parmesean Cheese at my store. I was hoping that buying the little Parm Cheese would print out a catalina for the Kraft Dairy, but it did not, bummer right!
