11-24-11 Thanksgiving Day/Black Friday at CVS

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on November 24, 2011 None comments

These are my “Black Friday” deals at CVS. The deals actually started Nov. 24th at midnight so I went at about 1:30am because I didn’t want to be there right at midnight to fight the craziness but I am night owl. The employees at the store told me I just missed the huge line that had extended to the back of the store.This actually worked in my favor because there was almost no one in the store and the staff was great about helping me do multiple transactions, which I usually don’t do.

I was excited because they still had almost everything in stock. I didn’t have a preplanned list of transactions because I know that often they will be out of one item that forces you to redo your plan in the store anyways.

My strategy was this, collect all of the items I was going to buy and then, because almost all of the items were free after ECBs (CVS dollars), I split them into transactions of as close to $15 as I could get so that I could keep reusing the $15 ECBs so I had a much lower out of pocket cost.

I started with $5 ECBs from earlier this week. The only transactions I used coupons on, besides for store dollars, were the first two. The items in the first transaction were the ones that I would make a profit off of or get back more store dollars than cash spent. I did this intentionally because that way I got my initial $15 ECBs for only about $4 out of pocket and the rest of the money I spent on the other transactions was mostly tax or the slight difference in balances and ECBs from the previous transaction.

Transaction #1

Spent- $4.68 Saved- $13.74

Transaction #2

Spent- $1.36 Saved- $20.22

Transaction #3

Spent- $.59 Saved- $18.67

Transaction #4

Spent- $1.75 Saved- $22.21

Transaction #5

Spent- $.65 Saved- $17.86

Transaction #6

Spent- $.63 Saved- $10.35

Totals for all 6 transactions-

Spent- $9.66

Saved- $103.05

Still Have- $14.37 ECBs That’s like getting paid to take all of this out of the store!

This was in two transactions at two different Publix stores because the one we usually shop at didn’t have some of the things we wanted and the other store was on the way home.

11-18-11 Publix Shopping Trip

Today I did a massive shopping trip at Publix! I’m very excited to say that my totals were-

Spent- $35.47
Saved- $100.75

This included-

– 8 2L Dr Pepper (all free)

That’s how I like to do my grocery shopping!

For most of these coupon match ups I will simply direct you HERE where I got them. However, I added to this list with deals I came up with on my own so those match ups / coupons I’m listing below.

Ragu and Pasta Combined Deal Here-

*** Ragu Pasta Sauce is on sale B1G1 Free with a coupon for free Pasta when you buy two. Now what you need to know is that it doesn’t specify a brand so you can buy the B1G1 Free Ragu (I got four) and then get two Pasta’s for free. I chose to get Mueller Pasta which is also B1G1. The Ragu coupon will make two pastas free so you really get four FREE because the register will take off the other two for the B1G1 sale making all four FREE! This is an even better deal if you use the (4) .55¢ off Mueller’s Pasta coupons which you are given the chance to print as many as you want.

Here is the deal breakdown-

Buy 4 B1G1 Free Ragu Pasta Sauce, 16-24 oz $2.59 ($1.29)

11-14-12 Publix Shopping Trip

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on November 18, 2011 None comments

I’m a little late posting this but we got some good deals, a couple of which are still good, so I still wanted to show it.

We are still getting overages from the Publix clearance section. I wrote about that HERE. Keep in mind every little bit of overage helps to reduce your total.

The NyQuil was also free + profit because we used the $1 off of Vicks coupon from the 10/30 P&G insert paired with a $1 off Publix Stocking Spree coupon (a coupon sheet found hanging on a stand in Publix).

The rest of the items were B1G1 Free but that sale week has now ended. We matched them with coupons to get them very cheap and the cooking cream was free.

Spent- $5.31
Saved-$28.64

Winn-Dixie Coffee Mate Deal

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on November 1, 2011 None comments

Winn-Dixie is running a deal for an automatic $1 off when you buy three 16oz coffee mate items. Certain 16oz coffee mate creamers cost 3 for $5. Right in front of the coffee mate section was an in store coupon dispenser with coupons for .55¢ off of one. There are also .50¢ off of one coupons in the 10/30 Red Plum. So for $2.35 total or .78¢ each I was able to get three coffee creamers. I did this deal twice because we drink so much coffee in our house. These don’t expire until Feb. but we will have used all 6 bottles long before then. Unfortunately I believe that the automatic $1 off expires today but you would still be able to get three for $3.50 or under with the .50¢ off coupons.

*Note* anything bought at Winn-Dixie also contributes to Fuelperks Rewards to get cheaper gas.

Shopping With My Sister

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on October 26, 2011 None comments

Yesterday I got to go shopping with my sister which is always lots of fun. My sister is a shopaholic like no other. She loves to shop but she somehow always finds the most amazing deals so that she never spends much money.

We found these cute Almost Famous shorts at Sears for $2.99.

She also needed a birthday gift for her friend and we went to Bath & Body Works that was having Fall Clearance. She got almost $40 worth of stuff for $10.

At CVS, she needed some air fresheners so we the deal where if you spend $12 on select glade products you get $4 ECBs. After the coupons she used and the ECBs she received this ended up costing around $4. Not bad for something she needed to buy anyway.

At Publix, we got a few things she needed and it only cost about $2.

Shopping is always more fun when I get to go with my sister. We compare deals and we encourage each other to save. I definitely recommend having a shopping/saving buddy!

10-26-11 Dollar General 10¢ Sale

Posted by Ney@ShopahoicSavers.com on October 26, 2011 None comments

Today Dollar General started a 10¢ sale! We stopped by and found a few things. It was around noon and they were already almost sold out. Too bad, the cashier told us they had a lot more stuff earlier in the day but that people had lined up at 8am to get the deals. I was still happy with the few things that I found which will end up being gifts for other people.
